]]> Based on the results of a recently published molecular species delimitation analysis, eight species of shrub frogs are not distinct enough to be considered as separate species. However, they also note the presence of 14 distinct undescribed species as well. The paper pertaining to this has been published on 19th October,2021 in Plosone journal. Four species delimitation methods have been applied to the 16S rRNA frog barcoding gene for all species of shrub frogs. The researchers say, 鈥渢he three mountain ranges in the wet zone, Knuckles, central hills and Rakwana are very important and playing a dominant role in allopatric speciation of these shrub frogs in the island. But among the species that are merged by the delimitation analyses, a pattern leading towards a model of parapatric speciation emerges鈥. They also recommend species delimitation analyses in the context of Phylogenetic Species Concept coupled with looking at multiple criteria for species description.

91传媒 is an amphibian hotspot of global significance. Its anuran fauna is dominated by the shrub frogs of the genus聽Pseudophilautus. Except for one small clade of four species in Peninsular India, these cool-wet adapted frogs, numbering some 59 extant species, are distributed mainly across the montane and lowland rain forests of the island.

]]> USJ researchers including 听补苍诲听 from Allergy Immunology and Cell Biology Unit, Department of Immunology and Molecular Medicine of 91传媒 have been carrying out sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 viruses since the onset of the pandemic. With the identification of the delta variant in 91传媒, they also detected a delta variant with several unique mutations in the spike protein (A701S, A222V, A1078S).

This delta variant with mutations has now been assigned a new lineage AY.28 and this delta variant is now names as B.1.617.2.28 91传媒n lineage. This AY.28 sub lineage that was initially detected during late May 2021, subsequently accounted for approximately 50-60% of the infections in the Western Province. Further investigations to characterize this sub-lineage is underway.

]]> Ecosphere Resilience Research Center of the USJ breaks new ground for biochar research in many ways. The latest is mechanically ground dendro biochar, a waste byproduct of the dendro power industry, to colloidal and nano sizes and their performance in treating antibiotics in the synthetic hydrolyzed urine, translating waste to wealth to produce safe organic fertilizer.聽聽included Ms.聽; Ecosphere Resilience Research Center, USJ, Manish Kumar; Discipline of Earth Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, India,听聽; Department of Polymer Science, USJ,听Prof; Ecosphere Resilience Research Center, USJ. Human urine is used as an organic fertilizer in various countries; however, it has not investigated the transport of antibiotics into soil matrix, producing antibiotic-resistant microbes in the soil. Tetracycline is a common antibiotic used for the treatment of human diseases. The research group tested the particle size effects of biochars (BC) for oxytetracycline (OTC) removal in synthetic human urine. Biochar from a biomass energy gasification plant was subjected to mechanical grinding resulting in colloidal (CBC) and nanobiochars (NBC) with an approximate particle size of <500 nm and <100 nm, respectively. The highest maximum adsorption capacity of 136.7 mg/g was reported for CBC, while BC reported a slightly low value (129.34 mg/g). Interestingly, NBC demonstrated a two-step adsorption process with two adsorption capacities (16.9 and 113.2 mg/g).

The adsorption performance of OTC onto all three types of biochars demonstrated high. Chemodynamic studies indicated that the removal of OTC聽聽onto BC surface was governed by physisorption, while CBC depicted the involvement of hybrid processes. The desorption of OTC back to urine is extremely low and BC, CBC, and NBC depicted a strong retention capacity. Nevertheless, CBC biochar demonstrated the best performance in adsorptive removal of OTC and nutrients in hydrolyzed human urine and its capability towards wastewater treatment. As the removal of nutrients was low, the treated urine can be used as a safe fertilizer.

The obtained results widen the scope of biochar use for wastewater treatment, demonstrating CBC as a promising adsorbent for treating hydrolyzed human urine before application in agriculture or discharged into the environment. Nevertheless, limited desorption cycles, single adsorbent dosage and low yield of NBC are considered as limitations of this study. Removal of antibiotics from human urine using BC, CBC, and NBC can be further improved with simultaneous removal of a mixture of antibiotics which is possible to present in human urine. Furthermore, this study can be elaborate to assess the capacity of biochars from different feedstock materials, temperatures and also for modified biochars. The obtained results are possible to upgrade by conducting the same set of experiments with actual hydrolyzed human urine to confirm the applicability of BC, CBC, and NBC in future studies.

Highlights of the Study,

  • Graphitic flaky nanobiochar was formed by top-down approach through disc milling
  • Aggregation of nanobiochar was prominent and seen well in scanning electron imaging
  • Glyphosate, oxytetracycline, Cr(VI), Cd sorption were pH dependent and cooperative
  • Partition coefficient data depicted nanobiochar鈥檚 capacity in removing contaminants

]]> Three new fungal species were discovered of the genus Curvularia namely; Curvularia eleusinicola, C. panici-maximi and C. simmonsii from 91传媒. The fungal species were collected from Polonnaruwa, Gampaha and Colombo districts respectively. Species of this dematiaceous hyphomycetous fungal genus, mainly encountered as phytopathogens, saprobes, epiphytes and endophytes associated with cereal crops and their wild relatives in the family Poaceae. The findings of this study highlight the importance of further studies regarding tropical species of hyphomycetous fungi associated with cereals, fibre crops and weeds in order to support effective disease management and ensure food security by exploring undiscovered diversity within the country.

The research was a collaborative effort of Ms. Himashi Ferdinandez, of the Department of Botany and of Department of Biosystems technology, 91传媒 and Dr. Lisa A Castlebury of United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Services, Beltsville, Maryland, USA. Research work was carried at the Department of Botany and Department of Biosystems Technology, 91传媒. This project mainly funded by the 91传媒 for Research Grant ASP/01/RE/SCI/2018/036.
