Abstract
Microorganisms are an extremely promising alternative to the extended use of pesticides for bio-control of plants. Pesticides are often expensive and accumulate in plants, having adverse effects on humans. Moreover, detection of undesirable chemical compounds in the food chain connected with the emergence of fungicide-resistant strains of pathogens calls for an alternative, non-polluting strategy for controlling plant diseases. Thus, biological control through the use of natural antagonistic microorganisms has emerged, for a long time; gram-negative bacteria have been intensively investigated as biological control agents. However, recently the attention has switched to the gram-positive members of the aerobic, spore-forming genus Bacillus. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is an important Bacillus species because of its ability to produce different bioactive compounds with a broad spectrum of activity. The endeavor of this article is to review the literature on the utilization of bioactive compounds from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in bio-control.

Ayurvedic medicinal therapeutic approaches for inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders
Usually, in our elderly population, neurodegenerative disorders occur due to neuron death. Alzheimer?s disease (AD) is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disease. Dementia is the leading cause of AD, which affects about 30 million people worldwide. According to the World Alzheimer report 2018, a new case of dementia develops every ...read more
Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
