Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on the 11th March 2020. COVID-19 has a wide range of effects. Increased Covid-19 infection is a major risk factor due to human unconsciousness and disobedience. The effects are increasing gradually. Therefore, the Bangladesh government has imposed a lockdown, but the outcome is adverse to this lockdown. It has shown us the real situation in our economic, social, education, service, and health sectors. It reveals, in particular, that, as a result of Covid-19, our health sector, which is a basic human need, has entirely broken down, and that, as a result of the epidemic, our educational system has also been impacted. Generally speaking, the education sector will suffer significant damage. Our main purpose in this paper is to show the impact of Covid-19 on different sectors of our country.

Medicinal plants are one of the most vital natural resources, but many of them are currently endangered due to habitat loss. Consequently, it is critical to emphasize the importance of using micropropagation techniques for mass propagation of plantlets on a commercial scale, in addition to germplasm conservation and distribution. Nodal explants and shoot tips were expunged from 15 days of the explant by aseptic seedlings, an effective, quick, and better in vitro plant regeneration procedure for Vitex negundo L. has been developed. The recent study was considered to develop an in vitro procedure for the regeneration of V. negundo L., a traditional medicinal plant. Nodal segments and shoot tips were cultivated on MS medium enhanced with numerous plant growth regulators. For multiple shoots and root regeneration, various cytokinins were examined. 6-benzyl-aminopurin (BAP), kinetin (Kin), and 1H-indole-3-butanoic acid (IBA) were all tested as a supplement to Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium including auxin phytohormone, such as Indole acetic acid (IAA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). The furthermost effective surface sterilization treatment for explants of V. negundo has been found 0.1% HgCl2 for 8 minutes. In all treatments, multiple shoots were collected from shoot tips and nodal segments. In MS media added with 2.0mg/l BAP, the most shoots were seen in V. negundo. Furthermore, V. negundo regeneration shoots rooted effectively in half MS containing 1.0 mg/l IBA. Finally, proliferated plantlets were effectively adapted in soil, where they grew normally without morphological anomalies and had a survival rate of 92 percent.

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a crop of increasing importance as a source of seed oil and proteins; nonetheless, the number of studies on sunflower tissue culture is somewhat limited. The development of a competent in vitro direct organogenesis protocol involves important basic steps of regeneration. In our study, chemically sterilized sunflower seeds were planted on induction media, and 52.54 % germination efficiency was found. While the seeds were subjected to regeneration containing 2 mg/L of cytokinin, Benzyl Adenopurine (BAP) as well as 1 mg/L of auxin, Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA); shoot growth was observed with41 % regeneration efficiency. Non-sterilized seeds germinated but showed fungal growth on the surface of media resulting in no regeneration of sunflower plantlet. On the other hand, sterile seeds germinated less with little or no fungal growth leading to successful regeneration. Frequent regeneration of sterile sunflower seeds through direct organogenesis can contribute to enhanced micro-propagation of this plant.

The demand for metals is ever increasing with the advancement of the industrialized world. But the global reserve high levels of ores are adjacent to decline. However, there exists there is a vast reserve of metals inferior ore, and other subsidiary sources. Low category ores as well as metal recovery conventional strategies such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, etc., require strong and asset inputs that are often environmentally friendly pollution. Accordingly, there is required for the utilization of more coherent technologies to the recuperation of metals. The utilization of microbes to recovery metal ions is considered a unique key optimistic and revolutionary field of environmental biotechnology. The components of this method are disintegrated in an aqueous solution, which provides them more effective in addition, treatment, and convalescence. Recycling giant metals is also very important to prevent pollution and to prevent wastage of sources. Biological means are also used to easily recycle metals from their secondary sources. In this research, various approaches using microbes to recover giant metals from primary (low-grade ore) and secondary (electronic wastes) sources are discussed. Future prospects of utilizing microbes are also granted here.

Environmental pollution is one of the major concerns of today’s world. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, a large number of wastes are generated and discharged into the environment and causing major pollution problems. For obtaining reactive dye decolorizing bacterial isolates, effluent samples were collected from a dyeing mill. From bacterial pure culture, 10 isolates were selected for screening. Screening of these isolates for the capability to decolorize and degrade reactive dye was performed in a nutrient broth medium containing reactive dye. 6 isolates among these bacterial isolates showed dye decolorizing ability within 120 hours of incubation. These isolates were further identified based on cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. These characteristics indicated that these six bacterial isolates were distributed to the bacterial genus of Bacillus (2 isolates), Pseudomonas (2 isolates), Aeromonas (1 isolate), and Alcaligenes (1 isolate). For the study of dye decolorization and degradation, Reactive Dark Blue dye used in jute and textile industries was chosen. Pseudomonas, a prominent dye decolorizing isolate during screening, was taken for the optimization of different physicochemical parameters. This bacterium decolorized and grew well up to 500 mgL-1 of Reactive Blue dye. Pseudomonas sp. showed noteworthy decolorization of approximately 84% at 200 mgL-1 of dye concentration after 96 h of incubation. The optimum temperature for dye degradation was at 37 °C. The maximum level of decolorization for Pseudomonas sp. was observed at pH 8.0. This isolate showed better decolorization extent under static conditions rather than shaking conditions. This result indicated that the dye had been utilized by this bacterial isolate. It can be concluded that Pseudomonas is a prospective candidate in the biodegradation of Reactive Blue dye and might be useful in bioprocess technology used for the bioremediation of dyeing mill effluents.

Camel is one of the important livestock species which plays a major role in the pastoral mode of life by fulfilling basic demands of livelihood. Traditionally, camel urine has been used in the treatment of human diseases. With regard to the health benefits of drinking the urine of camels, it has been proven by modern scientific researches. Camel urine has an unusual and unique biochemical composition that contributes to medicinal values. The chemical composition of camel urine showed the presence of purine bases, hypoxanthine, sodium, potassium, creatinine, urea, uric acid, and phosphates. The nano-particles in the camel’s urine can be used to fight cancer. Camel urine has antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria. Its chemical and organic constituents have also inhibitory properties against fungal growth, human platelets, and parasitic diseases mainly fasciollosis in calves. The healthy status of the liver can be restored through ingestion of diet and minerals in camel urine. Camel urine is used by the camel owners and Bedouins as medicine in different ways. The Bedouin in the Arab desert used to mix camel urine with milk. Recently; the WHO has warned against drinking camel urine due to the modern attempt to limit Outbreaks of Respiratory Syndrome (MRS) in the Middle East. There is no scientific dosage for camel urine to be applied as medicine for different diseases and the ways of camel urine formulation and utilization for the care of patients varies from country to country. Therefore, the purposes of the present review describe the biochemical composition of camel urine will be scientifically extracted and formulated as a therapy rather than drinking raw urine and people’s health impact.

Contamination of drinking water due to the presence of as has become a global environmental and socio-economic threat. The appearance of high Arsenic (As) in drinking water causes a serious health issue around the world. Many countries in different parts of the world have reported high arsenic concentrations. Among all groundwater arsenic contamination affected countries, the position of Bangladesh is the worst. Therefore, it is very important to develop affordable and efficient techniques to remove As from drinking water to protect human health. The most used methods are oxidation, coagulation, adsorption, ion exchange, and membrane technologies. Oxidation is usually used as pretreatment for most of the methods. Coagulation is the most common arsenic mitigation technology in Bangladesh. This technique is effective from pH 6-8. Ion exchange resins can only remove arsenate. Activated alumina beds work best in slightly acidic waters and usually have much longer run times than ion exchange resins. A cost-effective method for mitigation of As from drinking water is the use of low-cost adsorbent. Membrane methods which are more costly than other arsenic mitigation techniques but very effective where very low arsenic levels are required. Providing a safe water source may not possible in some of the arsenic affected regions or sometimes this process becomes very expensive. Mitigation of As from drinking water may be more appropriate in these situations. This paper presents a review of the conventional methods used for mitigation of As from contaminated drinking water.

For biodegradation of reactive dyes used in jute and textile industries, bacteria were isolated from a dyeing mill effluent. Bacteria having a remarkable ability to decolorize and degrade reactive dye were screened by using dye Reactive Dark Blue WR (RDB-WR). Cultural, morphological and biochemical characteristics were observed, and based on these seven isolates having higher decolorizing capability was identified. Among these isolates, one of the prominent dye decolorizing isolates Bacillus sp. was taken for decolorization study. Under different physicochemical conditions, decolorization and degradation capabilities of Bacillus sp. were optimized by using RDB-WR, a dye commonly used in the jute and textile industries. This bacterium decolorized and grew well up to 500 mg L-1 of RDB-WR. Bacillus sp. showed significant decolorization approximately 86% at 200 mg L-1 of RDB-WR after 96 h of incubation. Optimum degradation of dye was achieved at 37 °C. Maximum decolorization was observed at pH 7.0 under static conditions. The study confirmed the potential of Bacillus in the biodegradation of Reactive Dark Blue WR. This bacterial isolate might be prospective in the biological treatment of dyeing mill effluents due to the high extent of decolorization.

A number of selected fungicides were evaluated to determine their efficacy for controlling collar rot disease of soybean plants caused by Sclerotium rolfsii. The experiment was conducted under the controlled condition at the Plant Pathology Laboratory and Field laboratory of BINA, Bangladesh Agricultural University campus from November 2018 to August 2019. In-vitro research was done for the observation of radial mycelial growth of S. rolfsii on potato dextrose agar (PDA), treated with five fungicides viz. Antracol 70 WP (T1), Ridomil Gold MZ 68 WP (T2), Secure 600 WG (T3), Bavistin DF (T4), Dithane M-45 (T5), and one non-treated (T0) treatment. The highest percentage of mycelial growth inhibition of S. rolfsii in PDA medium was recorded in treatment T5 (Dithane M-45) 100% and lowest in treatment T3 (Secure 600 WG) 37.33% at 6 days after inoculation. Then the selected five fungicides were again applied to pot under controlled conditions to observe the best effect of selected fungicides against collar rot pathogen of soybean plants. The inoculation was done on a variety of BINA soybean 4 in pot condition. The highest mortality percent for the collar rot disease was found in treatment T0 (controlled) 100% soybean plants conversely, the lowest mortality percent was found in treatment T5 (Dithane M-45) 27.28% besides 38.92% in T2 (Ridomil Gold MZ 68 WP), 43.42% in T1 (Antracol 70 WP), 46.18% in T3 (Secure 600 WG) and 50.00% in treatment T4 (Bavistin DF) respectively. Thus, Dithane M-45 was found superior in controlling collar rot pathogen S. rolfsii of Soybean over all other fungicides tested in both in vitro and in vivo.

In-vitro research was done for the observation of radial mycelial growth of S. rolfsii on potato dextrose agar (PDA), treated with five fungicides viz. Antracol 70 WP (T1), Ridomil Gold MZ 68 WP (T2), Secure 600 WG (T3), Bavistin DF (T4), Dithane M-45 (T5), and one non-treated (T0) treatment. The highest percentage of mycelial growth inhibition of S. rolfsii in PDA medium was recorded in treatment T5 (Dithane M-45) 100% and lowest in treatment T3 (Secure 600 WG) 37.33% at 6 days after inoculation.

Composites films with higher mechanical properties from naturally occurring degradable materials are of present demand to achieve goals of sustainable development. Interaction within composite constituents during drying controls mechanical properties. Here, bio-nanocomposites films were first prepared from cellulose nanocrystals synthesized from jute fibres and extracted potato starch with the same chemical formulations. The filler, nanocrystals consist of nanorod-like cellulose particles obtained as an aqueous suspension by sulfuric acid (H2SO4) hydrolysis of jute fibres and the matrix was prepared by plasticization of potato starch after disruption of starch granules with water and glycerin. Nanocomposite films were obtained by casting the homogeneous aqueous suspension at 95oC and followed by natural drying (atmospheric drying, 25oC) and oven drying at 40oC. The thickness of the bio-nanocomposites film about 250 μm was controlled by using a 2 mm thick structural glass frame. It is revealed that with increasing the percentage of cellulose nanocrystals in composite films, mechanical properties corresponding to tensile strength and Young’s modulus were increased significantly. The film containing the highest quantity of cellulose nanocrystals (20% w/w of starch) revealed better properties in case of natural drying (tensile strength 84.2 MPa, Young’s modulus 0.563 GPa, elongation at break 27%) than the film properties (tensile strength 35.2 MPa, Young’s modulus 0.423 GPa, elongation at break 20%) of oven drying.
