Journal ArticleDOI
Alleviation of heavy metal toxicity and phytostimulation of Brassica campestris L. by endophytic Mucor sp. MHR-7.
Mahwish Zahoor,Muhammad Irshad,Hazir Rahman,Muhammad Qasim,Sahib Gul Afridi,Muhammad Qadir,Anwar Hussain +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that MHR-7 is an excellent candidate for use as biofertilizer in fields affected with heavy metals and locked down HM in tis mycelium thereby making them less available to plant root reducing HM uptake and toxicity in mustard.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of some medicinal plants against selected human pathogenic bacteria
TL;DR: Cold water extract of Bergenia ciliate showed the highest activity against B. subtilis, which is comparable with a zone of inhibition exhibited by ceftriaxone and erythromycin, while J. officinale and S. album extracts demonstrated variable antibacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abdul Jabbar,Abdul Jabbar,Jody Phelan,Paola Florez de Sessions,Taj Ali Khan,Hazir Rahman,Sadiq Noor Khan,Daire Cantillon,Leticia Muraro Wildner,Sajid Ali,Susana Campino,Simon J. Waddell,Taane G. Clark +12 more
TL;DR: Overall, it is demonstrated that drug-resistant TB isolates are circulating and transmitted in North West Pakistan and shown the usefulness of whole genome sequencing as a diagnostic tool for characterizing M. tuberculosis isolates, which will assist future epidemiological studies and disease control activities in Pakistan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioremediation of hexavalent chromium by endophytic fungi; safe and improved production of Lactuca sativa L.
Shabeena bibi,Anwar Hussain,Muhammad Hamayun,Hazir Rahman,Amjad Iqbal,Mohib Shah,Muhammad Irshad,Muhammad Qasim,Badshah Islam +8 more
TL;DR: The selected endophytic strains might be used as biofertilizer for healthy and safe crop production in Cr contaminated soils and helped the Cr stressed L. sativa to restore its normal growth.
Book ChapterDOI

Shakirullah Khan Shakir,Azizullah Azizullah,Waheed Murad,Muhammad Daud,Farhat Nabeela,Hazir Rahman,Shafiq ur Rehman,Donat-Peter Häder +7 more
TL;DR: Environmental pollution has increased many folds in recent years and in some places has reached levels that are toxic to living things and various studies indicated that overexposure to heavy metals in air can cause cardiovascular disorders, asthma, bronchitis/emphysema, and other respiratory diseases.
