Background. Infections by microbes (viruses, bacteria, and fungi) and parasites can cause serious diseases in both humans and animals. Heavy use of antimicrobials has created selective pressure and caused resistance to currently available antibiotics, hence the need for finding new and better antibiotics. Natural products, especially from plants, are known for their medicinal properties, including antimicrobial and anthelmintic activities.

We have successfully isolated three strains (NR-1, NR-2, NR-3) using the Escherichia coli baiting technique. These isolates showed typical myxobacterial growth characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all the strains (NR-1, NR-2, NR-3) belong to the family Archangiaceae, suborder Cystobacterineae, and order Myxococcales. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity searched through BLAST revealed that strain NR-1 showed the closest similarity (91.8 %) to the type strain Vitiosangium cumulatum (NR-156939), NR-2 showed (98.8 %) to the type of Cystobacter badius (NR-043940), and NR-3 showed the closest similarity (83.5 %) to the type of strain Cystobacter fuscus (KP-306730). All isolates showed better growth in 0.5-1 % NaCl and pH around 7.0, whereas no growth was observed at pH 9.0 and below 5.0. All strains showed better growth at 32° C and hydrolyzed starch, whereas casein was efficiently hydrolyzed by NR-1 and NR-2.

Many secondary metabolites isolated from natural products have shown therapeutic action against these enzymes. However, some commercially available synthetic drugs have shown unfriendly impacts with various side effects. Thus, this research has focused on a comprehensive study of secondary metabolites showing better inhibitory activities towards metabolic enzymes such as α-amylase, α-glucosidase, aldose reductase, and lipase. Further receptor-based virtual screening was performed against the various secondary metabolites database designed in-silico. Using Gold combined with subsequent post-docking analyses, the score was obtained

    Symmetry XII (2018) 1 Dedicated to John Bardeen Born: 23 May, 1908, Madison, Wisconsin, USA Died: 30 January, 1991, Boston, Massachusetts, USA Symmetry XII (2018) 2 Volume XII, 2018 Editorial Symmetry The field of scientific research and physics, in particular, has contributed a lot in An annual Publication of CDP, TU shaping our modern society. The paradigm from Aristotle’s philosophical beginning to the current technological innovations has its root in the immense Patron research done in the physics and other sciences- the intensity of which became Prof. Dr. Binil Aryal more apparent after the two Great World Wars. This year was marked with the Nobel prize in physics for the ground-breaking invention in the field of Lasers. Advisory Board Moreover, Donna Strickland was declared to be the third woman (i.e ¼ the share of Prof. Dr. Om Prakash Niraula Nobel prize in physics) to achieve such highest honor for devising a method of Prof. Dr. Ram Prasad Regmi generating high-intensity, ultra-short optical pulses. This year also witnessed a Prof. Dr. Raju Khanal computer scientist Katie Bouman who helped through her algorithm in deciphering Prof. Dr. Narayan Prasad Adhikari a huge telescopic data (i.e. about 5 Petabytes) observed through the collaborative Prof. Dr. Ishwar Koirala efforts of several astronomers which helped to obtain the first-ever image of a Dr. Hari Prasad Lamichhane black hole. Sometimes the people questions on the billions of dollars spent in such Dr. Bal Ram Ghimire research regarding their significances. The discovery of spectrum outside the Dr. Ajay Kumar Jha visible was once questioned similarly but when the real application of such Dr.

Emerging pollutants in nature are linked to various acute and chronic detriments in biotic components and subsequently deteriorate the ecosystem with serious hazards. Conventional methods for removing pollutants are not efficient; instead, they end up with the formation of secondary pollutants. Significant destructive impacts of pollutants are perinatal disorders, mortality, respiratory disorders, allergy, cancer, cardiovascular and mental disorders, and other harmful effects. +e pollutant substrate can recognize different microbial enzymes at optimum conditions (temperature/pH/contact time/concentration) to efficiently transform them into other rather unharmful products. +e most representative enzymes involved in bioremediation include cytochrome P450s, laccases, hydrolases, dehalogenases, dehydrogenases, proteases, and lipases, which have shown promising potential degradation of polymers, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated compounds, dyes, detergents, agrochemical compounds, etc.
