Isolation of endophytic bacterial isolates from healthy banana trees and determination of their in vitro antagonistic activities against crown rot disease agent Fusarium verticillioides
Authors: Kara Merve , Soylu Soner
Published: April 2022

Aims: Fungal diseases are one of the most important biotic factors causing serious losses in banana cultivation in field or greenhouses during cultivation, harvest, storage and transportation periods. Crown rot, caused by Fusarium verticillioides, is considered one of the most important postharvest fungal disease of banana fruits. In this study, endophytic bacterial isolates were obtained from fruits, branches and leaves of healthy banana trees and their antagonistic potentials were investigated against F. verticillioides as a biological control agent (BCA) in vitro conditions.Methods and Results: A total of 23 putative endophytic bacterial isolates were obtained from fruits, stems and leaves of healthy banana trees. All bacterial isolates were identified by MALDI-TOF MS (Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time Of Flight Mass Spectrometry) analysis. In vitro antagonistic efficiencies of 12 different bacterial isolates, from eight different species (Bacillus subtilis ssp. spizizenii (3), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (2), Bacillus subtilis ssp. subtilis (2), Bacillus mojavensis, Enterococcus faecium, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter ludwigii and Pseudomonas stutzeri), were tested on inhibiting mycelial growth by using dual culture tests. Among bacterial isolates, the highest antagonistic activity was displayed by Bacillus mojavensis BEn3 isolate which significantly inhibited the mycelial growth by 50.83%. Enterobacter cloacae BEn1, Enterobacter ludwigii BEn2, Enterobacter faecium BEn7, however, failed to inhibit the mycelial growth of fungi.Conclusions: Significant suppression in the mycelial growth caused by endophytic bacterial isolates indicates that Bacillus mojavensis BEn3 isolate could be considered as possible BCA against crown rot disease agent.Significance and Impact of the Study: Our findings suggest that B. mojavensis Ben3, as the most successful endophyte bacterial isolate that suppresses the growth of F. verticillioides, can be used as a promising biological control agent as an alternative to chemical control against crown rot disease.

Response Surface Method for Modelling the Effect of CO2 in Brine/Waxy Oil Interfacial Tension during LSW-WAG Enhanced Oil Recovery
Authors: Musfika Rahman  , Iskandar Dzulkarnain
Published: April 2022

Recent research on the combination of low salinity waterflood (LSW) with CO2 water-alternating gas (WAG) has received significant attention due to its effectiveness in recovering residual oil in a mature field. The solubility of CO2 increases with decreasing brine salinity; and the presence of CO2 in the injected water is expected to reduce the water/oil interfacial tension (IFT) leading to the release of trapped oil previously held in the rock by capillary forces. However, to date, little study has been done on the fluid/fluid interaction during the LSW-WAG process involving waxy crude oil and injected brine. In this study, two models have been developed from experimental IFT measurements that can facilitate the prediction of the CO2 effect in the interfacial tension between oil/water interface in the presence and absence of CO2. This objective is achieved by modelling the effect of pressure, brine salinity, and CO2 on oil/water IFT with the response surface methodology (RSM) using the modified central composite design method (CCD) for the experimental design. Based on the developed model, the optimum values of input variables were calculated by analysis of variance (ANOVA) to obtain an acceptable model. The R-squared values demonstrate that the developed models could appropriately predict the experimental results of oil/water IFT from Dulang crude oil and 7 different brine salinity. The results of this study are expected to give insights into the fluid/fluid interaction behaviour during the LSW-WAG recovery process from a mature field with waxy crude oil.
Investigation of Palm Oil Wastes Characteristics for Co-Firing with Coal
Authors: Noraishah Shafiqah Yacob  , Hassan Mohamed  , Abd Halim Shamsuddin
Published: April 2022

Nowadays, renewable energy is a reliable solution for addressing global warming and fossil fuel depletion issues. Malaysia has an abundance of biomass resources currently underutilized to generate electricity, such as palm oil waste. Wastes from a palm oil mill plant, such as empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm mesocarp fibre (PMF), and palm kernel shell (PKS), are worth to be investigated as a possible raw material for co-firing with coal. The co-firing technique is the low-cost risk approach for the utilization of biomass in electricity generation. This paper aims to review and perform a comparative study on the existing co-firing biomass processes worldwide in order to explore the potential of using palm oil wastes with coal. To achieve successful co-firing of biomass with coal, the feedstock characteristics need to be understood before undergoing several pre-treatment options. It is recommended to implement co-firing palm oil waste with coal in Malaysia because palm oil wastes can reduce greenhouse gas, NOX, and SOX. Co-firing of palm oil wastes in existing coal-fired power plants is one of the practical ways to be implemented as it helps to reduce the over-consumption of fossil fuels. Based on the findings, Malaysia seems to be on the right track to maximize the use of palm oil wastes either in a standalone biomass power plant or in a co-firing power plant. The improved utilization will further minimize the negative impact of the greenhouse gas emission from the untreated palm oil mill wastes.

The Contribution of AGN Accretion Disks to Hydrogen Reionization
Authors: Zeltyn Grisha , Trakhtenbrot Benny
Published: April 2022

We examine the contribution of high-redshift (z > 6) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) to cosmic hydrogen reionization, by tracing the growth and ionizing output of the first generation of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Our calculations are anchored to the observed population of z ≃ 6 quasars, and trace back the evolving spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the accretion flows that power these early AGNs and consider a variety of growth histories, including super-Eddington accretion. Compared to a fixed-shape SED, the evolving thin disks produce ionizing radiation that is higher by up to ∼80%. Across a variety of SMBH growth scenarios, the contribution of AGNs to reionization is limited to late epochs (z < 7), and remains subdominant compared to star-forming galaxies. This conclusion holds irrespective of the (still unknown) space density of low-luminosity z = 6 AGNs, and for growth scenarios that allow super-Eddington accretion. The contribution of AGNs to reionization can extend to earlier epochs (z ≳ 8) in scenarios with relatively slow SMBH mass growth, i.e., for low accretion rates and/or high spins. We finally demonstrate that our framework can reproduce the observed quasar proximity-zone sizes, and that compact proximity zones around z = 6 quasars can be explained by the late onset of super-Eddington accretion.

We present two bright galaxy candidates at z ∼ 12–13 identified in our H-dropout Lyman break selection with 2.3 deg2 near-infrared deep imaging data. These galaxy candidates, selected after careful screening of foreground interlopers, have spectral energy distributions showing a sharp discontinuity around 1.7 μm, a flat continuum at 2–5 μm, and nondetections at <1.2 μm in the available photometric data sets, all of which are consistent with a z > 12 galaxy. An ALMA program targeting one of the candidates shows a tentative 4σ [O iii] 88 μm line at z = 13.27, in agreement with its photometric redshift estimate. The number density of the z ∼ 12–13 candidates is comparable to that of bright z ∼ 10 galaxies and is consistent with a recently proposed double-power-law luminosity function rather than the Schechter function, indicating little evolution in the abundance of bright galaxies from z ∼ 4 to 13. Comparisons with theoretical models show that the models cannot reproduce the bright end of rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity functions at z ∼ 10–13. Combined with recent studies reporting similarly bright galaxies at z ∼ 9–11 and mature stellar populations at z ∼ 6–9, our results indicate the existence of a number of star-forming galaxies at z > 10, which will be detected with upcoming space missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope, Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and GREX-PLUS.
Multiwavelength Analysis and the C iv
λ1549 Å Emission Line Behavior From 2008 to 2020 of FSRQ B2 1633+382

Published: April 2022

The flat-spectrum radio quasar B2 1633+382 (4C 38.41) has been monitored for several years and has presented correlated variability in multiple wavelengths. In this article, we are performing different analyses for multiple frequencies, from gamma rays to radio, as well as the C iv
λ1549 Å emission line and the λ1350 Å continuum. Using the nonthermal dominance parameter, we separated the C iv and the continuum light curves for when the dominant source of continuum is the accretion disk or the jet. We found a correlation at a delay consistent with zero between the line and the continuum dominated by disk emission indicating a very small broad-line region (BLR). From the resulting delay between the 15 GHz and gamma rays, we estimated the distance of the gamma-ray emission region from the jet apex to be ∼37 pc. The C iv flux decreases when the continuum and gamma rays increase at some of the high-activity periods. The C iv profile presents a larger variable component in its blue wing. The relation between the luminosities of C iv and the continuum does not completely follow the relation for a quasar sample. Our results lead us to propose an outflow of BLR material in the jet flow direction, a gamma-ray production through magnetic reconnection for the flaring event of mid-2011, and that there is not enough BLR material close to the radio core to be easily ionized by the nonthermal continuum.
Please Repeat: Strong Lensing of Gravitational Waves as a Probe of Compact Binary and Galaxy Populations
Authors: Xu Fei , Ezquiaga Jose María , Holz Daniel E.
Published: April 2022

Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational wave sources offers a novel probe of both the lens galaxy and the binary source population. In particular, the strong lensing event rate and the time-delay distribution of multiply imaged gravitational-wave binary coalescence events can be used to constrain the mass distribution of the lenses as well as the intrinsic properties of the source population. We calculate the strong lensing event rate for a range of second- (2G) and third-generation (3G) detectors, including Advanced LIGO/Virgo, A+, Einstein Telescope (ET), and Cosmic Explorer (CE). For 3G detectors, we find that ∼0.1% of observed events are expected to be strongly lensed. We predict detections of ∼1 lensing pair per year with A+, and ∼50 pairs per year with ET/CE. These rates are highly sensitive to the characteristic galaxy velocity dispersion, σ
*, implying that observations of the rates will be a sensitive probe of lens properties. We explore using the time-delay distribution between multiply imaged gravitational-wave sources to constrain properties of the lenses. We find that 3G detectors would constrain σ
* to ∼21% after 5 yr. Finally, we show that the presence or absence of strong lensing within the detected population provides useful insights into the source redshift and mass distribution out to redshifts beyond the peak of the star formation rate, which can be used to constrain formation channels and their relation to the star formation rate and delay-time distributions for these systems.

Published: April 2022

We present a well-designed sample of more than 1000 type 1 quasars at 3.5 < z < 5 and derive UV quasar luminosity functions (QLFs) in this redshift range. These quasars were selected using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data in the Stripe 82 and overlap regions with repeat imaging observations that are about 1 mag fainter than the SDSS single-epoch data. The follow-up spectroscopic observations were conducted by the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) as one of the BOSS ancillary programs. Reaching i ∼ 21.5 mag, our sample bridges previous samples from brighter and deeper surveys. We use a 1/V
a method to derive binned QLFs at 3.6 < z < 4.0, 4.0 < z < 4.5, and 4.5 < z < 4.9 and then use a double power-law model to parameterize the QLFs. We also combine our data with literature QLFs to better constrain the QLFs across a much wider luminosity baseline. The faint- and bright-end slopes of the QLFs in this redshift range are around −1.7 and −3.7, respectively, with uncertainties from 0.2 to 0.3 to >0.5. The evolution of the QLFs from z ∼ 5 to 3.5 can be described by a pure density evolution model (∝10
kz
) with a parameter k similar to that at 5 < z < 7, suggesting a nearly uniform evolution of the quasar density at z = 3.5–7.

Introduction: There is limited data on clinical course and outcomes of hospitalized adults with COVID-19 in Nepal. Thus, it is imperative to characterize the features of this disease in the domestic context.

Methodology: We identified all adult patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 admitted to five different hospitals in Nepal from June 15 to July 15, 2020. We collected epidemiological, socio-cultural and clinicopathologic data, and stratified the patients based on their symptom status.

Results: The study included 220 patients with an overall median age of 31.5 (25-37) years, and 181 (82.3%) were males. 159 (72.3%) were asymptomatic, and 163 (74.1%) were imported cases. Of 217 patients with the available data, 110 (50.7%) reported their annual household income less than 2000 US dollars, and 122 (56.2%) practiced Pranayama (yogic rhythmic breathing techniques) regularly. Eight patients (3.6%) required supplemental oxygen and two patients (0.9%) died. None of the patients who practiced Pranayama regularly required supplemental oxygen. Compared to asymptomatic patients, symptomatic patients had greater proportion of females (31.1% vs. 12.6%, p = 0.001), imported cases (85.2% vs. 69.8%, p = 0.02), illiterates (26.8% vs. 12.1%, p = 0.01), alcohol users (43.3% vs. 24.5%, p = 0.01), and had higher platelet count (253×109/L vs. 185×109/L, p = 0.02).

Conclusions: Most cases were imported, asymptomatic young males, with very few deaths. Pranayama practice was associated with protection against severe COVID-19, but more data is needed to substantiate this. The association of platelets count with symptom status in the Nepalese population needs further exploration.
Identification of the first case of Penicillium marneffei infection in Shaanxi province by nanopore sequencing
Authors: Liu Dongli , Ma Lin , Mao Lingfeng , Wang Yiqun , Ding Long , Wang Anli
Published: April 2022

Introduction: Penicillium marneffei is one of the most common opportunistic infectious fungi associated with AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). It is prevalent in Southeast Asia and southern China (such as Guangdong), but rare in inland provinces of China. Penicillium marneffei infections are often misdiagnosed.

Case Report: Here, we report a patient with Penicillium marneffei infection from Shaanxi Province, China, who was previously repeatedly diagnosed as Kala-azar in two hospitals. The patient received medical treatment due to fever and multiple papules, worked as a tour guide, and had travel history in Southeast Asian countries. We performed nanopore genome sequencing on blood samples of the patient and obtained 84,000 reads in 3.5 hours. The average length of the sequences was 7088.7 bases and the longest sequence was 87471 bases. Through comparison with the pathogenic bacteria database, 13 homologous Penicillium marneffei sequences were identified. Furthermore, by using specific quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction of Penicillium marneffei, fungal ITS (Internal Transcribed Spacer) sequencing, and fungal biphasic culture, we further confirmed the pathogen as Penicillium marneffei. Meanwhile, the patient was confirmed to be HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) positive. Thus, the patient was diagnosed with AIDS combined with Penicillium marneffei infection, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first report of Penicillium marneffei infection in Shaanxi Province, China.

Conclusions: Metagenomic analysis based on nanopore sequencing provides an important reference for the diagnosis of Penicillium marneffei infection in this case.

Published: April 2022

Introduction: Besides stomach, the oral cavity is the second reservoir of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that plays an important role in oral diseases and recurrent gastric infection. This study aimed to determine the risk factors of oral H. pylori infection for better human health.

Methodology: Saliva samples from 280 subjects who visited the dental clinics were collected for the H. pylori antigen test. The data regarding age, gender, residence, frequency of tooth brushing, presence of dental caries and/or periodontitis were reported for each participant. Stool antigen Helicobacter pylori test was used to detect gastric infection.

Results: The overall prevalence of H. pylori in oral cavity and stool were 40.4%; 95% CI [34.8–46.2], and 36.4%; 95% CI [31–42.2], respectively and were not statistically significant (p = 0.546). The differences of positive rates of H. pylori infection according to the presence of periodontitis (54.7% vs 30.1%, p < 0.001, OR; 95% CI: 2.8 (1.7-4.6)) and dental caries (47.1% vs 32%, p = 0.001, OR; 95% CI: 2.2 (1.3-3.5)) were statistically significant. Living in rural areas increases the risk of acquiring H. pylori infection compared with urban areas (46.9% vs 34.7%, p < 0.001, OR; 95% CI: 0.6 (0.4-1)).

Conclusions: The H. pylori antigen test on saliva could be used as evidence of gastric infection. Oral diseases including periodontal diseases and caries are important risk factors for H. pylori colonization, so the professional treatment of these diseases may reduce the rate of new and recurrent gastric infection by H. pylori.
