Muhammad Ishtiaq Ali,Safia Ahmed,Geoff D. Robson,Imran Javed,Naeem Ali,Naima Atiq,Abdul Hameed +6 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that isolated fungal strains have significant potential for biodegradation of PVC plastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributions and Challenges of High Throughput qPCR for Determining Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment: A Critical Review.
Hassan Waseem,Hassan Waseem,Sana Jameel,Jafar Ali,Hamza Saleem Ur Rehman,Isfahan Tauseef,Uzma Farooq,Asif Jamal,Muhammad Ishtiaq Ali +8 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 51 selected studies is performed to evaluate ARGs abundance trends over the last 7 years and WaferGenTM SmartChip is found to be the most widely used HT-qPCR platform among others for evaluating ARGs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnomedicinal uses of Edible Wild Fruits (EWFs) in Swat Valley, Northern Pakistan.
Muhammad Pukhtoon Zada Khan,Mushtaq Ahmad,Muhammad Zafar,Shazia Sultana,Muhammad Ishtiaq Ali,Hang Sun +5 more
TL;DR: The tradition of using EWFs in treating ailments is a common practice among the tribal communities, depending on the socio-economic conditions of the people and the multiple uses of these EWFs suggest further investigation regarding phytochemical analysis and pharmaceutical applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and identification of polystyrene biodegrading bacteria from soil
TL;DR: In this paper, six bacterial isolates were isolated from soil buried expanded polystyrene films showing adherence and growth with the poly styrene as a sole carbon source, and the preliminary screening of biodegradation capability was done by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for surface chemical changes and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) for analysis of products.
