BACKGROUND Acanthocephalans are fish parasites of worldwide distribution, penetrate their thorny proboscis into the intestinal wall of host and absorb nutrients. No diagnostic tool is available except postmortem investigations and identification by parasitologists. The aim of present study was to explore and assign taxonomical status to Pallisentis species prevalent in food fishes of river Gomt...

river water is not only an indispensable source for irrigation but also plays a vital role for drinking water supply for most of the urban municipalities. water from rivers is pumped at specific sites and after treatment at municipal water treatment plants supplied as domestic potable water supply. the present study was undertaken to assess the suitability of gomti river water at gaughat being ...

Aeromonas veronii is a human pathogen that causes diarrhea, wound infections and hemorrhagic septicemia. A. veronii isolated from Gomti river water and identified on basis of 16S rRNA sequences, which showed the high degree of homology with existing sequences. Moreover, the 16S rRNA sequences were also being used for modeling of RNA secondary structures and resembles with Gibbs free energy of o...

The purpose of this study was to determine the current state water in Gomti River along Lucknow stretch. Physio-chemical characteristics, levels organic materials, various heavy metals and sewage pollution their variation have been studied from top bottom over Lucknow, shows that quality Gaughat barrage has deteriorated due discharge untreated waste about 26 major drains throughout its course. ...

In the current study, attempts were made to analyze effect of COVID-19 lockdown on heavy metal concentrations in River Gomti through comparison with pre-COVID-19 status. The concentration all six metals (As, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn, and Pb) clearly shows a significant reduction, highlighting impact closure agricultural, industrial, commercial activities. values pollution index (HPI) at sites have also d...

A bacterial strain Bz02 was isolated from a water sample collected from river Gomti at the Indian city of Lucknow. We characterized the strain using 16S rRNA sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the strain formed a monophyletic clade with members of the genus Comamonas. The closest phylogenetic relative was Comamonas testosteroni with 95% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. It is proposed...
