Author-note | Our research explores the potential of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) from bacterial isolates in bovine milk. We identified four promising strains with high EPS production and found these EPS extracts to possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, emulsification, and anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, genomic analysis of the prominent strain, ME2b, identified EPS biosynthesis genes. These findings highlight the versatile applications of EPS, particularly in the food and biotechnology sectors, with potential for sustainable and innovative products.

Annals of Agri-Bio Research, 2023
Author-note | We reported isolation and characterization of three prominent phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria (PSB) from a local rice variety, BRRI-28. The isolates exhibited efficient plant growth promoting traits including auxin secretion, zinc solubilization, or ammonia production, and adaptation to environmental stress tolerance. Our study suggests that these rhizospheric plant growth enhancing PSB strains can be of particular benefits to the growth and productivity of plants.

Author-note | In this work, we report a comprehensive characterization of probiotic and safety aspects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in Bangladeshi natural honey. The LAB isolates showed remarkable antagonistic effects against both bacterial and fungal pathogens; high free radical scavenging capacity; tolerance to low-pH, bile salt, and phenol; adhesion ability to ethyl acetate, chloroform and xylene; and high autoaggregation and coaggregation properties. Our study suggests that natural presence of such beneficial microbes in honey is an added advantage to consumers considering the health benefits they can obtain from the microbes.

Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Food Sciences, 2023
Author-note | Our study focused on a lactic acid bacterium isolated from borhani, a traditional beverage. The bacterium, identified as Weissella confusa (strain LAB-11), displayed a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. It exhibited a prolonged antibacterial effect and showed sensitivity to most antibiotics tested. These findings suggest that borhani, containing such beneficial lactic acid bacteria, may provide preventive effects against diseases while minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance transfer.

Author-note | Limosilactobacillus fermentum is a promising probiotic with several documented health benefits. LAB1 is an antagonistic L. fermentum strain isolated from borhani, a traditional south Asian beverage prepared from dairy and plant ingredients. Here I present genome sequence of the L. fermentum LAB1 strain, its annotation, and phylogenetic features. The 2.01 Mb genome with a G+ C content of 51.9% was assembled into 221 contigs and predicted to have 1,913 protein-coding genes, 98 pseudo genes, 7 rRNAs, 60 tRNAs, and 1 CRISPR array. 91.1% of the coding sequences could be assigned to known functional genes. Determination of average nucleotide identity (ANI) of the genome sequence revealed 99.37% identity to that of the type strain ATCC 14931. Its 16S rRNA gene sequence extracted from the genome sequence showed close phylogenetic association with several L. fermentum strains. The genome sequence is expected to provide useful insights with regards to the phenotypic, metabolic and beneficial aspects of this lactic acid bacterium.
