An attractive substitute for the hazardous chemicals used in agriculture are the potential soil microbes exhibiting immense genetic variability and flourishing in diverse habitats that have potential to enhance plant growth by plethora of mechanisms. They can be commercially exploited for the benefit of sustainable agriculture. For synergistic effects microbial consortia rather than individual microbes needs to be investigated. With the advancement of genomics and proteomics the biosynthetic pathway of various enzymes involved in secondary metabolite production can be studied. Research...

This study has been done on the seepage affected Titas gas field in Brahmanbaria, which is the biggest gas field of Bangladesh. Here the authors emphasizes the pollutions occurred due to natural gas seepage and analyzed the degree of impacts on environment. The authors believe that this study will serve as a documentation for analyzing similar seepage problems that causes severe environmental pollution. Also this study includes water quality index of the seepage affected water sources that helps to get an overall idea of the degree of pollution.
