    Abstract The book compiles the latest studies on microorganisms thriving in extreme conditions. Microbes have been found in extremely high and low temperatures, highly acidic to saline conditions, from deserts to the Dead sea, from hot-springs to underwater hydrothermal vents- the diversity is incredible. The various chapters highlight the microbial life and describe the mechanisms of tolerance to these harsh conditions, and show how an understanding of these phenomena can help us exploit the microbes in biotechnology. The theme of the book is highly significant since life in these environments can give vital clues about the origin and evolution of life on earth, as a lot of these conditions simulate the environment present billions of years ago. Additionally, the study of adaptation and survival of organisms in such environments can be important for finding life on other planets. This book shall be useful for students, researchers and course instructors interested in evolution, microbial adaptations and ecology in varied environments.

    Abstract In up to 2% of the population, benign tumours called lipomas can develop. When they are more than 5 cm, they are considered giant lipomas. Giant lipomas of the distal forearm and hand may cause compression to the underlying tissues, nerves and muscles, even though they are typically asymptomatic. An older woman with soft tissue swelling in her right wrist and forearm, and numbness and pain in her right hand presented to the general surgery outpatient clinic. Her numb fingers indicated that the median nerve was compressed, and an MRI scan of her wrist and forearm revealed median nerve compression due to a giant lipoma with a dimension of about 9.2×3.4×4 cm. A surgical excision was done with an intraoperative nerve stimulator, and the specimen sent for histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma. Pain, numbness and motor power improved within 1 week postoperatively, and the patient was discharged.

    Abstract Adult ileocecal intussusception due to non-specific inflammation is a rare condition. Intussusception is the intestinal segment telescoping into the adjacent intestinal lumen. Typically, a pathological lesion is discovered with a high percentage of malignancy. Intussusception of the most common ileocolic kind includes the appendix, but it is uncommon for an appendix to serve as the lead point. The patient was admitted to the emergency department with a complaint of acute intestinal obstruction. After getting a diagnostic workup, an exploratory laparotomy was done, and the ileocecal and ascending colon segment was intussuscepted directly into the sigmoid colon. Transverse and descending colon were normal, and resection of necrosed intussuscepted bowel, primary repair of sigmoid colon with ileostomy with transverse colon as distal mucus fistula done, after the 3-month restoration of bowel continuity done, patient discharged and doing well. After the diagnosis of intussusception, the best surgical choice is in the hands of an experienced surgeon.

    Abstract Conventional agriculture often relies on bulky doses of fertilizers and pesticides that have adversely affected the living beings as well as the ecosystems. As a basic tenet of sustainable agriculture, minimum agrochemicals should be used so that the environment can be protected and various species can be conserved. Further, sustainable agriculture should be a low input system, where the production costs are lower and net returns are higher. The application of nanotechnology in agriculture can significantly enhance the efficiency of agricultural inputs and thus it offers a significant way to maintain sustainable development of agroecosystems via nanoparticles. In this regard, nano-plant growth promoters, nanopesticides, nanofertilizers, nano-herbicides, agrochemical encapsulated nanocarrier systems etc. have been developed for the potential applications in agriculture. These can have great benefits for agriculture, including higher production of crops, inhibition of plant pathogens, removal of unwanted weeds and insects with lesser cost, energy and waste production. However, there are several concerns related to the use of nanoparticles in agriculture. These include the approaches for synthesis, their mechanisms of penetration to applied surfaces and the risks involved. Though, advent of new technologies has significantly improved the synthesis and application of nanomaterials in agriculture, there are many uncertainties regarding nano-synthesis, their way of utilization, uptake and internalization inside the crop cells. Therefore, an elaborate investigation is required for deciphering the engineered nanomaterials, assessing their mechanistic application and agroecological toxicity. Hence, this review is aimed to critically highlight the NPs material application and points towards the vital gaps in the use of nanotechnology for sustainable agriculture.

    Abstract Chickpea plant root colonizing bacteria Mesorhizobium ciceri Ca181 promotes plant growth and development through symbiotic association with root nodules. The potentially beneficial effects on plants generated due to this bacterium are mineral nutrient solubilization, abiotic stress tolerance, and nitrogen-fixation, though the molecular mechanisms underlying these probiotic capacities are still largely unknown. Hence, this study aims to describe the molecular mechanism of M. ciceri Ca181 in drought stress tolerance and phosphorus solubilization. Here we have developed the transposon inserted mutant library of strain Ca181 and further screened it to identify the phosphorous solubilization and PEG-induced drought stress tolerance defective mutants, respectively. Resultantly, a total of four and three mutants for phosphorous solubilization and drought stress tolerance were screened and identified. Consequently, Southern blot confirmation was done for the cross verification of insertions and stability in the genome. Through the sequencing of each mutant, the interrupted gene was confirmed, and the finding revealed that the production of gluconic acid is necessary for phosphorus solubilization, while otsA, Auc, and Usp genes were involved in the mechanism of drought stress tolerance in M. ciceri Ca181.

    Abstract Salinity is a global challenge to agriculture production. Cicer arientinum L. grows under wide range of climatic conditions and is highly sensitive to salt stress. Salt stress causes osmotic, ionic and secondary stress, impairing various metabolic processes in plants and eventually results in a decline in the plant yield. The aim of the present study was to study the effect of salinity on morphological, anatomical and ionic responses of chickpea seedlings of the genotype PBG-7. Three NaCl concentrations (40 mM, 60 mM and 80 mM) with three replicates were investigated by conducting the experiments in petriplates and growth pouches. For the first 7 days, experiments were carried out in petriplates. Thereafter, the seedlings were transferred to the growth pouches of respective treatment and were maintained subsequently for 21 days. The results collectively suggest that salt stress negatively affected the xylem and phloem width along with the total biomass production. Further, the results indicated that salinity leads to an increase in the sodium ion content in the plants and was accompanied by a decline in K⁺/Na⁺ as well as Ca²⁺/Na⁺ ratio. Sodium ion content was found to be negatively correlated with all the measured parameters.
