Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is an annual herbaceous plant found worldwide and cultivated for centuries as a fiber source [7,9,63]. Recently, hemp has become a topic of discussion as it is a plant with an extensive diversity of applications (textile, pharmaceuticals, construction, etc.), ...
In the last few decades, excessive exploitation of fossil fuels has occurred, as a result of the growing population and rising living standards [1,2]. This over-exploitation has increased environmental problems - such as global warming, climate change ...
Since the first case of COVID-19 patient appeared in Wuhan, Hubei Province in December 2019, the novel coronavirus has become a catastrophe for mankind for its rapid transmission, easy strain mutation and damage to the central nervous ...
Earlier in the 19th century, the testing of biological safety in humans was a great challenge for pharmacists. Interestingly, even after being tested on animals, Koch's tuberculin was found to be unsafe for humans due to the patient's death. The first regulation was introduced ...
If the world must attain the sustainable development goals in terms of food security, adequate sustainable sources of food and feed for both humans and animals, respectively, is indis- pensable. Aside from increasing production ...
Background: Coinfections in COVID19 appear to worsen hospitalized patients prognosis. ...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most harmful phytopathogens in agriculture. They form sclerotia which render them resistant and persistent. Crop protection is necessary and mycoparasites are a friendly and efficient alternative to chemicals, when used as Biological Control Agents (BCAs). In this work, one hundred ninety nine candidate mycoparasites from soils of organic crops in Southwestern Greece were isolated by using ...
Anaerobic digestion of biopolymers into methane is accomplished by complex microbial communities that remain poorly characterized. Their composition tends to vary, likely as a result of many factors such as substrate composition, operating parameters, and microbial succession. In order to gain further insight, we performed a comparative analysis of microbial ...
Since 2009, influenza A infection represents a major concern for the scientific community; in the immediate postoperative of lung transplantation it is a rare event that may cause severe respiratory impairment. In case of refractory hypoxemia due to influenza infection, alternative strategies of oxygenation such as prone positioning have been efficiently used; however, no data exploring this issue were published. Herein, ...
The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of the probiotic L.fermentum ME-3 and L.acidophilus (ATCC4356) to ferment pasteurized donkey's milk, keeping it in cold storage for 14 days and testing end products for antimicrobial, antioxidant activities and sensory properties. Fermented donkey milks had pH values of 4.5 - 4.6 just after fermentation...
A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that uses a focused beam of high-energy electrons to produce images of a sample by creating a variety of signals at the surface of the sample. The signals are generated by the electron-sample interaction. These signals provide great information about the sample such as external morphology, ...
The gut microbiota (microbial symbionts) and microbiome (their genes, and consequently the corresponding expressed products) are part of us, interfering with our immunity, our capacity to metabolize certain molecules, influencing how we gain body weight and even our mood. The number of microbial cells and metabolites largely exceeds those of human body. ...
Enterococcus has emerged as one of the common cause of nosocomial infections. Their increasing resistance to commonly used antibiotics poses a great threat for treatment of enterococcal infections. Hence, the present study was undertaken to study the antibiotic susceptibility profile of Enterococcus species and to detect the incidence of Multidrug resistant Enterococcus species. ...
This research paper is a result of extensive work from a group of researchers participating in the BIOTA-FAPESP Program (FAPESP Research Program on Biodiversity Characterization, Conservation, Restoration and Sustainable Use), aimed at discovering, mapping and analyzing the diversity of the flora and fauna of the State of São Paulo, and also evaluating the possibilities ...
Amongst the various species of Aspergillus section Nigri; Aspergillus luchuensis, associated with food and beverage fermentation in East Asia, is evaluated by multiple researchers as non-ochratoxigenic based on the extrolite analysis. Beyond extrolite analysis, in the present study, A. luchuensis strain was analyzed by a rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. ...
I read the recent research study by Ohara et al. [1] about yeasts bioproducts prospection from Brazilian biomes, including Atlantic Rain Forest, Savannah and transition areas. Diverse yeast isolations were obtained from samples of fruits, flowers and seeds (120), or soil (60), and were further prospected for lipase, biotin and riboflavin production [1]. The strain RP.J1308 was ...
