  • Isolation and identification of bacteriophage against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and their biofilm Inhibition studies

    Isolation and identification of bacteriophage against Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and their biofilm Inhibition studies

    Bacterial strain

    The collected ATCC E. coli strain was used as the host for phage isolation. Crystal violet assay revealed that E. coli strain formed strong biofilms. Spectroscopic analysis showed OD values of 0.5 and 0.8 at 24 and 48 h,…

  • A comprehensive analysis of YOLO architectures for tomato leaf disease identification

    A comprehensive analysis of YOLO architectures for tomato leaf disease identification

    YOLOv8

    To begin with, the training times of the YOLOv8 variants, shown in Table 8, are analysed. As expected, times increase with model complexity. Notably, YOLOv8n and YOLOv8s show similar durations (0.602 and 0.641 hours, respectively),…
