Debarati Basu, Makaut WB The microorganisms that inhabited our mouths are inclusively known as the oral microbiome. These microorganisms (tiny bacteria, etc.) influence our general wellbeing in numerous ways that are not yet completely comprehended. A few microorganisms cause inflammation, which can lead to periodontitis and other foundational infections, like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Other […]
Srabani Roy Chowdhury, MAKAUT, WB Introduction Plant roots are associated with a diverse community of microorganisms. These communities are collectively known as root microbiome. The communities contain microorganisms that are both helpful as well as harmful for the plant, in terms of affecting its physiological functioning. Mycorrhizal and mycoparasitic fungi as well as bacteria that […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Resistant bacteria are a major concern in modern healthcare and pose a severe threat to public health. In today’s health care system, the development of pathogenic species resistant to antibiotics is one of the biggest difficulties. Public health is increasingly being affected by infections produced by multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). Originally, these […]

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Secondary Metabolites as a Natural Defense System in Microbes: All living beings inherit a natural defence system for ascertaining their survival. Microorganisms are mostly dependent upon the synthesized natural products that serve as a defence system against threats posed by the environment. This enables them to fight against other microorganisms. […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata 3-Dimensional modeling of Protein structure can provide us with lots of insights on its functions and interactions. Researchers from Stanford University, California utilized this technique to study the receptor-binding domain of SARS-coV-2. This discovery could help in drug development and the prediction of future outbreaks. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has changed […]
Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Microbial Ecology known as environmental microbiology is the study of microorganisms’ relationship with each other as well as their environment. The main goal of researchers in this department is to capture the maximum amount of information from all organisms that are present in a given sample. Traditionally DNA-based protocols are […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata Molecularly imprinted polymers, also known as MIPs, were first developed about half a century ago. It uses the technique of molecular imprinting that leaves cavities with an affinity for a selected “template” molecule within the polymer matrix. In the presence of a template molecule that is extracted afterwards, the process […]
