Regional scale analysis of trends in rainfall using nonparametric methods and wavelet transforms over a semi‐arid region in India - Lalit Pal; Chandra Shekhar P. Ojha; Surendra K. Chandniha; Amit Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Space‐time variability of rainfall at local scale is affected by several regional factors such as aerosol concentration, greenhouse gases, land cover changes, etc., along with large scale atmospheric circulations. Predictive ability of regional circulation models can be significantly improved and efficient management of water resources can be assured by identifying dominant variables controlling spatiotemporal variations in rainfall among aforementioned factors. The present study aims to investigate dominant climate system(s) controlling trends in rainfall over Chhattisgarh state (a semi‐arid region) in India over the period of 115 years (1901–2015). Discrete wavelet transform in conjunction with Mann–Kendall test is applied to the rainfall data series at different time scales (monthly, seasonal, annual, pre‐monsoon, monsoon, post‐monsoon and winter) in order to identify the long term trends and dominant periodic components influencing the trend. In the results, negative trends are found to exist in all rainfall time series at majority of districts (except for annual and monsoon rainfall at Bijapur and Sukma district). In addition, analysis of trend in actual evapotranspiration and soil moisture in the region does not exhibits the effect of anthropogenic variables (such as land cover change, irrigation projects, etc.) on the rainfall as significant negative trend are also observed in soil moisture for majority of districts. Overall, 2‐year and 4‐year periodic components have been detected to be dominating the trends in most of the rainfall time series (annual, monsoon, post‐monsoon and winter). On comparing the identified dominating components with the existing climate systems (Atlantic multidecadal oscillations, Indian ocean dipole, Madden‐Julian oscillations, Inter‐Tropical Convergence Zone, etc.), El Niño‐Southern Oscillations has been recognized as predominant climate circulation influencing the rainfall trends over the study region. The study outcomes are expected to improve the regional precipitation forecasts and should be useful in various hydro‐meteorological analyses and decision making at regional scale.

Linguatula serrata is a pentastomid which is worldwide in distribution. However, a very few references are reported from India. In the present study, the cox I gene of L. serrata nymphs, originally isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes of buffaloes, was amplified and custom sequenced. Based on sequence analysis, two haplotypes were noticed and were subsequently submitted in NCBI database. The sequences were also compared with the other sequences available in the pubmed and phylogenetic analysis coupled with nucleotide homologies were commutated. The studied Indian isolates were found closer to Bangladesh and Iran isolates. This is the first report of molecular characterization of L. serrata from India.

Characterization of phosphate transporter(s) and understanding their role in Leishmania donovani parasite - K.J. Sindhu; Amit Kumar Kureel; Sheetal Saini; Smita Kumari; Pankaj Verma; Ambak Kumar Rai (Acta Parasitologica, 2018)
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) is shown to be involved in excretion of methylglyoxal (MG) in the promastigote form of Leishmania donovani parasite. Absence of Pi leads to its accumulation inside the parasite. Accumulation of MG is toxic to the parasite and utilizes glyoxylase as well as excretory pathways for its detoxification. In addition, Pi is also reported to regulate activities of ectoenzymes and energy metabolism (glucose to pyruvate) etc. Thus, it is known to cumulatively affect the growth of Leishmania parasite. Hence the transporters, which allow the movement of Pi across the membrane, can prove to be a crucial drug target. Therefore, we characterized two phosphate transporters in Leishmania (i) H + dependent myo-inositol transporter (LdPHO84), and (ii) Na + dependent transporter (LdPHO89), based on similar studies done previously on other lower organisms and trypanosomatids. We tried to understand the secondary structure of these two proteins and confirm modulation in their expression with the change in Pi concentration outside. Moreover, their modes of action were also measured in the presence of specific inhibitors (LiF, CCCP). Further analysis on the physiological role of these transporters in various stages of the parasite life cycle needs to be entrenched.

Molecular response of Sargassum vulgare to acidification at volcanic CO 2 vents: insights from de novo transcriptomic analysis - Amit Kumar; Immacolata Castellano; Francesco Paolo Patti; Massimo Delledonne; Hamada Abdelgawad; Gerrit T. S. Beemster; Han Asard; Anna Palumbo; Maria Cristina Buia (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
Ocean acidification is an emerging problem that is expected to impact ocean species to varying degrees. Currently, little is known about its effect on molecular mechanisms induced in fleshy macroalgae. To elucidate genome wide responses to acidification, a transcriptome analysis was carried out on Sargassum vulgare populations growing under acidified conditions at volcanic CO 2 vents and compared with populations in a control site. Several transcripts involved in a wide range of cellular and metabolic processes were differentially expressed. No drastic changes were observed in the carbon acquisition processes and RuBis CO level. Moreover, relatively few stress genes, including those for antioxidant enzymes and heat‐shock proteins, were affected. Instead, increased expression of transcripts involved in energy metabolism, photosynthetic processes and ion homeostasis suggested that algae increased energy production to maintain ion homeostasis and other cellular processes. Also, an increased allocation of carbon to cell wall and carbon storage was observed. A number of genes encoding proteins involved in cellular signalling, information storage and processing and transposition were differentially expressed between the two conditions. The transcriptional changes of key enzymes were largely confirmed by enzymatic activity measurements. Altogether, the changes induced by acidification indicate an adaptation of growth and development of S. vulgare at the volcanic CO 2 vents, suggesting that this fleshy alga exhibits a high plasticity to low pH and can adopt molecular strategies to grow also in future more acidified waters.

Presence of P seudomonas aeruginosa influences biofilm formation and surface protein expression of S taphylococcus aureus - Amit Kumar; Yen Peng Ting (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary Although S taphylococcus aureus and P seudomonas aeruginosa can individually colonize and infect their hosts, the commensalistic effect of the two is more tenacious and lethal. In this study, it was shown that in co‐culture with P . aeruginosa , a sub‐population of S . aureus exhibited improved resistance to kanamycin by selection of small colony variant ( SCV ) phenotype. Additionally, biofilm formation by the two bacteria was denser in the co‐culture, compared with biofilm formed in individual pure cultures. Using Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) force spectroscopy for single cells, it was demonstrated that S . aureus cultured in the presence of P . aeruginosa bound more tenaciously to substrates. Surface‐shaved peptides were isolated and identified using ultra‐performance liquid chromatography‐quadrupole‐time of flight and a homology search program spider . Results indicated that serine‐rich adhesin, extracellular matrix binding protein and other putative adhesion proteins could be responsible for the enhanced attachment of S . aureus in the co‐culture. Besides, several other proteins were differentially expressed, indicating the occurrence of a range of other interactions. Of particular interest was a multidrug resistant protein named ABC transporter permease which is known to expel xenobiotics out of the cells. Positive regulation of this protein could be involved in the SCV selection of S . aureus in the co‐culture.
