Publications
We have three papers published including those of the collaborative works from our four years of research.
Biocatalysis | Microbial Ecology | Gut Microbiome

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
AUTHORS' NOTE In this project we analyzed contribution of the gut-associated bacteria of Bombay duck in its digestive process. The gut bacteria were screened for their ability to produce various hydrolytic enzymes. Most of the isolates produced considerable amount of protease, lipase, or pectinase enzymes indicating their important role in the digestive metabolism of their host. The enzyme profile strongly correlated to the feeding habit of the fish. 16S rRNA gene-based taxonomic diversity of the isolates was also analyzed.

Evaluation of Endo-1,4-β-D-Glucanase Activity in the Digestive Fluid of Adult Phytophagous Beetle Hoplasoma unicolor

AUTHORS' NOTE A collaborative work performing qualitative and quantitative estimations of cellulolytic endo-1,4-β-D-glucanase activity in the gut fluid of Hoplasoma unicolor, a local beetle. We've seen this beetle actively feeding on green leaves and presumed it to must have cellulose degrading enzymes in its digestive fluid. Consequently, cellulolytic activity could be detected in plate assay and two active cellulase proteins were also seen in zymogram analysis of the gut fluid. Whether the activity is endogenous or of microbial origin, however, needs to be clarified by further investigations.
Zoonoses | One Helath | Antimicrobial Resistance
Ferdausi Ali, Tazriyan Nur Silvy, Tanim Jabid Hossain*, Md Kamal Uddin, Md Seraj Uddin
International Journal of One Health, 2021
AUTHORS' NOTE Another collaborative work where we analyzed contamination frequency and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) phenotypes of Salmonella spp. recovered from various broiler samples in the retail outlets of Hathazari, Bangladesh. We found moderately high prevalence of Salmonella in the samples and high AMR among the strains. Our findings indicate that local broiler activities and food products can be a source of exposure for consumers to multidrug resistant (MDR) Salmonella and, therefore, highlight the importance for maintenance of appropriate hygiene to avoid cross-contaminations.
