Whole genome sequencing and annotation of Aspergillus flavus JAM-JKB-B HA-GG20 by Achyut Ashokrao Bharose, Sunil Tulshiram Hajare, Dhawale Ramesh Narayanrao, H. G. Gajera, Hrushna Kany Prajapati, Suresh Chandra Singh, Vijay Upadhye

“…Abstract Groundnuts are mostly contaminated with the mold Aspergillus flavus which produces a carcinogenic mycotoxin called as aflatoxin. It is very important to understand the genetic factors underlying its pathogenicity, regulation, and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and animal toxicities, but it still lacks useful information due to certain gaps in the era of modern technology. …”

Quality deterioration of an Indian urban water source near an open dumping site by Sruthy Robert, Nisha Luckins, Ratish Menon

“…Thus, it can be concluded that the quality of this drinking water source is declining abruptly, especially downstream near the dumpsite, affecting the ecosystem as well as human health when exposed to carcinogenic metals. HIGHLIGHTS The river Kadambrayar is an important drinking water source for the surrounding urbanizing region.; The river is infested with water hyacinth, which is a bioindicator of pollution.; More than 500 MPN/100mL of coliforms are present in the river at all stations.; The highest BOD of 228 mg/L and the lowest DO concentration was 0 mg/L for samples from a drain that carried the effluent from the industries to the river.; The highest arsenic and chromium contamination in sediment and water samples was obtained downstream near the open dumping site.; Exposure to heavy metal-contaminated drinking water can cause skin disorders, and cancer in humans and also threaten the survival of aquatic biodiversity…”
