“…Fungal bioremediation, called myco-remediation, is considered more effective for radioactive nuclide removal from waste streams when compared with bacteria fungi [100,101] . The basic mechanism of myco-remediation is identical to biosorption.…”

Radioactive nuclides are utilized in large quantities in different sectors such as nuclear power plants to address energy demand. As a result, there is a massive amount of radioactive waste produced from nuclear sites and its spent sources including mining activities, nuclear weapons recycling, nuclear weapon, and nuclear energy generation. The widespread discharge of radionuclides into the environment and their mobility is a worldwide matter of concern given its health risks to living organisms. Hence, there is a need to embrace sustainable technologies for the effective management of radioactive nuclide wastes. Bioremediation is a promising and eco-friendly approach to remediate radioactive waste. The current review discussed various modes of bioremediation such as microbial, phyto, and myco-remediation for the management of radioactive waste. The interaction of microorganisms with various actinides and their fission products are also discussed. Moreover, a sustainable and efficient strategy for radioactive nuclide waste management in developing countries is also highlighted.

“…The resistance to various tetracycline antibiotics occurs because of the tet and otr genes acquisition. The increased resistance in microbes due to the chromosomal mutations or long constant exposure to the drugs has generated several other dysfunctions in the host’s body ( Narendrakumar and Thomas, 2018 ; Narendrakumar et al., 2020 ; Singh et al., 2021 ). The central and peripheral nervous system gets affected by these drugs depending on the drug and its mode of action.…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has killed huge populations throughout the world and acts as a high-risk factor for elderly and young immune-suppressed patients. There is a critical need to build up secure, reliable, and efficient drugs against to the infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus. Bioactive compounds of Ashwagandha [Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal] may implicate as herbal medicine for the management and treatment of patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim of the current work is to update the knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 infection and information about the implication of various compounds of medicinal plant Withania somnifera with minimum side effects on the patients’ organs. The herbal medicine Withania somnifera has an excellent antiviral activity that could be implicated in the management and treatment of flu and flu-like diseases connected with SARS-CoV-2. The analysis was performed by systematically re-evaluating the published articles related to the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and the herbal medicine Withania somnifera. In the current review, we have provided the important information and data of various bioactive compounds of Withania somnifera such as Withanoside V, Withanone, Somniferine, and some other compounds, which can possibly help in the management and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Withania somnifera has proved its potential for maintaining immune homeostasis of the body, inflammation regulation, pro-inflammatory cytokines suppression, protection of multiple organs, anti-viral, anti-stress, and anti-hypertensive properties. Withanoside V has the potential to inhibit the main proteases (Mpro) of SARS-CoV-2. At present, synthetic adjuvant vaccines are used against COVID-19. Available information showed the antiviral activity in Withanoside V of Withania somnifera, which may explore as herbal medicine against to SARS-CoV-2 infection after standardization of parameters of drug development and formulation in near future.
