Aquaculture is a fast-growing food sector but is plagued by a plethora of bacterial pathogens that infect fish. The rearing of fish at high population densities in aquaculture facilities makes them highly susceptible to disease outbreaks, which can cause significant economic loss. Thus, immunity development in fish through vaccination against various pathogens of economically important aquaculture species has been extensively studied and has been largely accepted as a reliable method for preventing infections. Vaccination studies in aquaculture systems are strategically associated with the economically and environmentally sustainable management of aquaculture production worldwide. Historically, most licensed fish vaccines have been developed as inactivated pathogens combined with adjuvants and provided via immersion or injection. In comparison, live vaccines can simulate a whole pathogenic illness and elicit a strong immune response, making them better suited for oral or immersion-based therapy methods to control diseases. Advanced approaches in vaccine development involve targeting specific pathogenic components, including the use of recombinant genes and proteins. Vaccines produced using these techniques, some of which are currently commercially available, appear to elicit and promote higher levels of immunity than conventional fish vaccines. These technological advancements are promising for developing sustainable production processes for commercially important aquatic species. In this review, we explore the multitude of studies on fish bacterial pathogens undertaken in the last decade as well as the recent advances in vaccine development for aquaculture.

A nonrenewable fuel like petroleum has been used from centuries and its usage has kept on increasing day by day. This also contributes to increased production of greenhouse gases contributing towards global issues like global warming. In order to meet environmental and economic sustainability, renewable, carbon neutral transport fuels are necessary. To meet these demands microalgae are the key source for production of biodiesel. These microalgae do produce oil from sunlight like plants but in a much more efficient manner. Biodiesel provides more environmental benefits, and being a renewable resource it has gained lot of attraction. However, the main obstacle to commercialization of biodiesel is its cost and feasibility. Biodiesel is usually used by blending with petro diesel, but it can also be used in pure form. Biodiesel is a sustainable fuel, as it is available throughout the year and can run any engine. It will satisfy the needs of the future generation to come. It will meet the demands of the future generation to come.

This article demonstrates all-digital tuning and dynamic control of feedback compensator in digital low drop out regulators to enhance the transient performance under process and passive variations, aging, and load changes. The measured results from a 130-nm CMOS test-chip shows 2.1× improvement in transient performance under process variations and 30% improvement for aging-induced degradations. We demonstrate 55-ns setting time for a 5 to 45 mA load step in 100 ps, with 97.8% peak current efficiency.

Bioremediation is an essential feature of microorganisms concerning contaminations in soil and water. The use of microorganisms has been proved to be an effective treatment of industrially released effluents comprising of heavy metals, such as chromium (VI). In the current study, seasonal variations were observed in the concentrations of chromium(VI) as the samples from selected locations showed an increase in mean concentration during the summer compared to the low mean during winter, suggesting excessive evaporation in the summer leading to the heavy metal accumulation. Among the 35 isolates obtained from tannery effluent contaminated wastewater sources the 3 unique strains identified as Streptococcus pyogenes strain APRRJVITS10, Pseudomonas putida strain APRRJVITS11, and Bacillus thuringiensis strain APRRJVITS15, showed tolerance toward chromium(VI) and the maximum tolerance for each strain was 1250 ppm. The media optimization through shake flask methods showed chromium(VI) (in 100 ml LB broth) removal of 47.82%, 48.11%, and 49.93% by S. pyogenes, P. putida, and B. thuringiensis respectively. Further, Pseudomonas putida showed chromium(VI) (in 1500 ml LB broth) removal of 50.48% in optimized conditions, proving to be highly potential for treating effluent wastewater for chromium(VI) removal.

Bioremediation is an important function of microorganisms in relation to contaminated soils, wastewater and effluent. Microbes have always been demonstrated to be cost-efficient in the treatment of industrial effluents containing heavy metals like chromium(VI). As more and more new and novel isolates are being discovered with having the ability to acclimatize to varying environments. The application of microorganisms, especially that of bacteria, proves to be showing a greater potential as a low costing biotechnological application. The procedure can be adjusted according to the needs and conditional requirements where the bio-absorbents utilized might be either dead or living. Microbial bioabsorption of chromium(VI) stands out to be an alternative for the removal of the toxic contaminant. This review is focused on the different biosorbent features appropriate in the removal of chromium; different types of bioreactors; and the evolution of research with an overview of bioabsorption.
