    Abstract Single-source white light emitting colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is one of the most exciting and promising high-quality solid-state light sources to meet the current global demand for sustainable resources. While most of the previous methods involve dual (green-red) emissive nanostructures coated on blue LEDs to achieve white light, this work describes a single-source white light emitter of robust and superior quality using dual-doping. A modified synthesis method for intense white light emitting Cu, Mn dual-doped ZnSe QDs is engineered such that the extent of doping and concentration of ligands can alter their electronic structures. This is then customized to obtain various types of white light emissions ranging from warm white to cool white. Further, the composition-driven change in the electronic structure of the host QDs is exploited to achieve emission tunability over the entire visible range.

    Abstract Bacteriophages are the natural predators of bacteria and are available abundantly everywhere in nature. Lytic phages can specifically infect their bacterial host (through attachment to the receptor) and use their host replication machinery to replicate rapidly, a feature that enables them to kill a disease-causing bacteria. Hence, phage attachment to the host bacteria is the first important step of the infection process. It is reported in this study that the receptor could be an LPS which is responsible for the attachment of the Sfk20 phage to its host (Shigella flexneri 2a). Phage Sfk20 bacteriolytic activity was examined for preliminary optimization of phage titer. The phage Sfk20 viability at different saline conditions was conducted. The LC-MS/MS technique used here for detecting and identifying 40 Sfk20 phage proteins helped us to get an initial understanding of the structural landscape of phage Sfk20. From the identified proteins, six structurally significant proteins were selected for structure prediction using two neural network systems: AlphaFold2 and ESMFold, and one homology modeling software: Phyre2. Later the performance of these modeling systems was compared using various metrics. We conclude from the available and generated information that AlphaFold2 and Phyre2 perform better than ESMFold for predicting Sfk20 phage protein structures.

    Abstract Mitochondria are critical organelles that maintain cellular metabolism and overall function. The catabolic pathway of autophagy plays a central role in recycling damaged mitochondria. Although the autophagy pathway is indispensable for some cancer cell survival, our latest study shows that rare autophagy-dependent cancer cells can adapt to loss of this core pathway. In the process, the autophagy-deficient cells acquire unique dependencies on alternate forms of mitochondrial homeostasis. These rare autophagy-deficient clones circumvent the lack of canonical autophagy by increasing mitochondrial dynamics and by recycling damaged mitochondria via mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs). These studies are the first to implicate MDVs in cancer cell metabolism although many unanswered questions remain about this non-canonical pathway.

    Abstract The enzymatic and bio-enzymatic saccharification of waste broken rice (79.8% of starch) was successfully carried out to produce a reducible sugar solution (160 g/L). Bioethanol of concentration 71.2 g/L (9.0% v/v) was prepared by fermentation of reducing sugar solution, using the commercially available waste brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The fermentation process parameters were optimized through response surface methodology (RSM) and hybrid artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA) for optimizing the ethanol concentration. The hybrid ANN-GA model predicted a maximum concentration of 71.9 g/L with a deviation of only 0.97% from the experimental value (71.2 g/L). Four different kinetic models were attempted to fit the experimental time evolution of concentrations with the kinetic parameters estimated by the Levenberg-Marquardt optimization technique. The 4th order Runge-Kutta algorithm was implemented through a C program module. The accuracy of each model was checked against coefficient of determination R

    Abstract Shigellosis, caused by Shigella bacterial spp., is one of the leading causes of diarrheal morbidity and mortality. An increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant Shigella species has revived the importance of bacteriophages as an alternative therapy to antibiotics. In this study, a novel bacteriophage, Sfk20, has been isolated from water bodies of a diarrheal outbreak area in Kolkata (India) with lytic activity against many Shigella spp. Phage Sfk20 showed a latent period of 20 min and a large burst size of 123 pfu per infected cell in a one-step growth analysis. Phage-host interaction and lytic activity confirmed by phage attachment, intracellular phage development, and bacterial cell burst using ultrathin sectioning and TEM analysis. The genomic analysis revealed that the double-stranded DNA genome of Sfk20 contains 164,878 bp with 35.62% G + C content and 241 ORFs. Results suggested phage Sfk20 to include as a member of the T4 myoviridae bacteriophage group. Phage Sfk20 has shown anti-biofilm potential against Shigella species. The results of this study imply that Sfk20 has good possibilities to be used as a biocontrol agent.

    Abstract Background: Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi is one of the major pathogens causing typhoid fever and a public health burden worldwide. Recently, the increasing number of multidrug-resistant strains of Salmonella spp. has made this utmost necessary to consider bacteriophages as a potential alternative to antibiotics for S. Typhi infection treatment. Salmonella phage STWB21, isolated from environmental water, has earlier been reported to be effective as a safe biocontrol agent by our group. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of phage STWB21 in reducing the burden of salmonellosis in a mammalian host by inhibiting Salmonella Typhi invasion into the liver and spleen tissue.
    Results: Phage treatment significantly improved the survival percentage of infected mice. This study also demonstrated that oral administration of phage treatment could be beneficial in both preventive and therapeutic treatment of salmonellosis caused by S. Typhi. Altogether the result showed that the phage treatment could control tissue inflammation in mice before and after Salmonella infection.
    Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of phage therapy in a mouse model against a clinically isolated Salmonella Typhi strain that includes direct visualization of histopathology and ultrathin section microscopy images from the liver and spleen sections.

    Abstract Manganese (Mn) is one of the most studied transition metal dopants to alter the optical properties of host semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). In most cases, the doped NCs are characterized by an invariant broad photoluminescence (PL) spectrum at 2.12 eV. The nature of this emission, although thought to be atomic-like, has revealed several dependencies on the host NCs in recent literature that facilitates the energy/charge transfer to a spin and orbital forbidden channel. In this work, we study this transfer as a function of the host band gap and spin–orbit coupling. We demonstrate that while the energy/charge transfer is facilitated by the energy difference between the band gap and Mn excitation energy, the high spin–orbit coupling allows transfer and back transfer of energy/charge, thus giving rise to a tunable higher energy transition even in successful doping of Mn. We use low-temperature PL and gated PL to demonstrate this phenomenon.
