Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly contagious disease caused by a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is spread through person to person contact. TB-spreading bacteria spread when an infected person sneezes or coughs. A total of 1.4 million people died from TB in 2019.

Agricultural Biological Product (ABP) is a novel food ingredient that has its origin in the field of agriculture. This high-grade food additive is made from various species of bacteria and yeasts used for various processes in agriculture. The main drivers and constraints in agricultural bioprocess are enlisted below.

Nucleic Acid Testing, also known as DNA testing, is a scientific method utilized to identify a specific nucleic acid molecule and thus in effect to identify and detect a certain species or sub-species of an organism, most commonly the bacteria or virus which acts as a co-adaptor to disease in blood, tissue, fluid, etc.

The human microbiome is comprised of archaea, eukaryotes, bacteria, and viruses that reside within anatomical sites of the human body including skin, placenta, uterus, mammary glands, lung, saliva, oral mucus, etc. There have been various attempts at understanding the mechanism of this microbiome.

Leprosy is a chronic infection caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae) bacteria. It can affect your skin and the nerves of the hands and feet along with the eyes and the liner of the nose. In some cases, leprosy may also affect other organs, like the kidneys and testicles in men. If left untreated, leprosy can cause deformities of the hands and feet, blindness, and kidney failure.

An inactivated vaccine, also known as a killed vaccine, is a vaccine made from live microorganisms, viruses, bacteria or other pathogens that has been grown in controlled culture and subsequently killed with the use of a chemical. On the other hand, dead vaccines work just like live vaccines.

Bacteriophages Therapy is a highly innovative form of complementary medicine. It is a treatment that involves the use of bacteria to heal the body.

An inactivated vaccine (or killed vaccine) is a vaccine consisting of virus particles, bacteria, or other pathogens that have been grown in culture and then killed to destroy disease producing capacity.

Ammonia is a toxic chemical of high nitrogen and oxygen. Generally, ammonia is found as a tasteless, odorless gas with a sharp smell. It results in a number of biological functions such as killing bacteria and killing microbial cells. Ammonia has many applications both at the industrial and household level.

Agricultural microbials consist of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses that are beneficial for assisting various agricultural practices such as crop protection and soil improvement. Microbes act as an important active ingredient in various biostimulants that help improve crop yields.

Cellulase is any one of a number of enzymes produced mainly by fungi, bacteria, and some protozoans, which catalyze the decomposition of cellulose and other polysaccharides found in plant, animal, and human cells. Sigma-Aldrich is a major producer of cellulase in Germany. These enzymes are used for commercial food processing in coffee and in textile industry and in laundry detergents.

Bacteriophages Therapy is a highly innovative form of complementary medicine. It is a treatment that involves the use of bacteria to heal the body.

Gamma polyglutamic acid (PGA) is a polymer of the amino acid glutamic acid majorly produced by Bacillus subtilis, (a bacteria), B. amyloliquefaciens, B. megaterium, and B.

Burkholderia infections are caused by Burkholderia cepacia. It is a gram negative bacillus found in aquatic environment. It is a low virulent bacteria and is a frequent colonizer of fluids used in the hospitals such as IV fluid, irrigation solution etc.

Butyric acid (or butanoic acid) is a short-chain fatty acid that is hypothesised to serve a number of positive effects in the gastrointestinal tract. It is a fatty acid produced by the beneficial bacteria in the gut when dietary fibre is broken down. Butyric acid can also be found in plant oils and animal fats. However, the amount of butyric acid present in foods like ghee and butter is tiny in comparison to the amount produced in the stomach. It is well-known for its ability to support digestive health, minimise illness risk, reduce inflammation, and boost general health.

The process of preserving life by employing microbes or bacteria is known as biopreservation. It is a type of agricultural preservation that focuses on preserving the quality of meat and dairy products by adding specific strains of microbes. People are becoming more aware of the value of employing microbes for food preservation as a result of modern-day food safety concerns. Food rotting is a widespread issue that affects millions of people worldwide. One may never be certain of the type of food consumed because it varies based on where it was grown and how it was kept.

Antimicrobial additives come in many forms and are designed to combat the germs that cause many concrete flooring problems. Used either before the pieces are made or during the pouring process, these additives make the surface less inhospitable for the germs that naturally corrode concrete.

Antimicrobial additives come in many forms and are designed to combat the germs that cause many concrete flooring problems. Used either before the pieces are made or during the pouring process, these additives make the surface less inhospitable for the germs that naturally corrode concrete. These additives can either be applied directly to the finished piece or injected into the mix during the manufacturing process.
