Enhanced Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) Production by Bacillus stercoris through Waste Utilisation and Statistical Optimisation. Trupti Pandya, Murtaza Hajoori, Nishi Patel Research Journal of Biotechnology, 2026 Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are storage materials, accumulated by various bacteria as energy and carbon reserve materials. They are biodegradable and biocompatible; hence, they can be used in packaging and carrier molecules in the agricultural field. In the present study, we aim to produce PHA by isolating and screening PHA-accumulating bacteria by performing primary and secondary screening with Sudan Black B dye and Nile Blue A respectively. Out of 110 isolates, 19 isolates showed bluish black colouration. The quantification of PHA was carried out by cell dry weight and biofilm was obtained by the sodium hypochlorite-chloroform method. The isolate w1(6) showed maximum PHA production and was optimised for PHA production using the software RSM. The isolate was further classified up to the genus level by studying its morphological and biochemical characteristics as well as 16s rRNA sequencing and it was found to be Bacillus stercoris. The extracted PHA polymer was characterised by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The isolate was tested on various parameters to check its effect on PHA production. The isolates were good candidates for the industrial production of PHA.
Evaluating probiotic properties of gut microflora for gut modulation as an adjuvant therapy for Parkinson's disease Nishi Jayesh Patel, Murtaza Hajoori, Piyush Desai Journal of Future Foods, 2025 • Exploring gut-microflora for potent probiotic properties to be used as an adjuvant therapy for PD. • These properties include identification of bacteria that do not interfere with drug treatment, produce neurotransmitters GABA and Serotonin along with SCFA and other 16 probiotic criteria that mark it safe for use and ensure gut modulation. • The probiotic will eliminate/reduce side effects produced by primary drug treatment, reduce drug resistivity and increasing longevity and quality of patient's life. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease. It is not curable and treatment revolves around controlling the symptoms. The most preferable approach is medicating with levodopa drug. One of the major concerns in treating with this drug is its conversion to dopamine within the gut and 1%−10% of dopamine becomes available to the brain, thus compromising the effectiveness of the treatment. Other dominant concerns are γ -amino butyric acid (GABA) collapse and serotonergic dysfunction that leads to secondary symptoms. To counter-balance its appalling repercussions reversal of gut bacterial dysbiosis, gut modulation by supportive bacteria is the new uproar, uncovering potent applications. In this study, gut bacteria were focused on having the ability to overcome the drug interference possibility. Samples were collected from PD patients, prone to PD, and healthy individuals for isolation of gut bacteria and were screened for criteria like tyrosine decarboxylase, GABA, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and serotonin production. Thin layer chromatography (TLC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and spectrophotometric analysis were used to test bacteria for the production of GABA and serotonin. A total of 855 isolates were screened and 23 isolates were further evaluated for their probiotic properties. Out of which 6 isolates namely HFS 2.1 TM, HFS 10.2 TM, FS 9.2 SA, HFS 6.2 NA, HFS 11.1 TM, and HFS 11.1 PDA were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and were screened positive to be prospective psychobiotic agents that could be employed as adjuvant therapy for PD.
