Inoculation with Rhizobium can improve not only host yield and quality but also host adaptability to stress. The match between inoculated strains and hosts and resistance to stress are the key factors determining the inoculation effect. Four types of...
The CRISPR–Cas system has transformed molecular biology by providing precise tools for genome editing and pathogen detection. Originating from bacterial adaptive immunity, CRISPR technology identifies and cleaves genetic material from pathogens...
Sustainable agricultural practices are essential for eradicating global hunger, especially in light of the growing world population. Utilizing natural antagonists, such as fungi and bacteria, to combat plant diseases, rather than relying solely on sy...
Atopobium vaginae (nowadays Fannyhessea vaginae) is an anaerobic bacterium increasingly implicated not only in bacterial vaginosis (BV) but also in a broader range of infections. Despite growing recognition of its clinical relevance, comprehensive da...
This study investigated the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of Polysaccharides (PSs) from three species of marine bacteria (Alteromonas nigrifaciens KMM 156, Cobetia amphilecti KMM 3890, and Idiomarina abyssalis KMM 227T). The chemical structure of PSs from...
Essential oils are a common alternative to chloroform for dissolving gutta–percha. This study evaluated the antimicrobial effects of chloroform and six essential oil gutta–percha solvents: eucalyptus oil, orange oil, clove oil, rosemary o...
This review discusses natural and synthetic azo compounds found in bacteria, fungal endophytes, fungi, plants, and invertebrates. More than 100 of these compounds have demonstrated significant pharmacological activity, including antitumor, antimicrob...
Access to clean and safe water is crucial for community well-being. Water samples from storage tank water (STW) and municipal tap water (MTW) were aseptically collected, and total bacterial and coliform counts were determined. Isolates were Gram-stai...
This study aimed to identify bioclimatic variables that favour the occurrence of three fungal species of the genus Arthrobotrys. For this purpose, 122 samples were collected from agricultural soils, 41 of which were positive for nematophagous fungi....
Soil salinization, a major challenge caused by climate change over the past century, critically affects cultivated land and consequently reduces agricultural production worldwide. Recently, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have been collected and...
The increasing resistance of Trichomonas vaginalis to the only approved chemical family of drugs for treatment, the 5-nitroimidazoles, has prompted the exploration of new therapeutic agents against this prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infect...
Soil, rhizosphere, and plant-associated microorganisms can enhance plant growth and health. A genomic analysis of these microbes revealed the key characteristics contributing to their beneficial effects. Following a field survey in Panama, four bacte...
As the source of the first reported class of non-mammalian hemoglobin, Vitreoscilla sp. C1 is a historically important microorganism that has offered important clues to understanding how bacteria can thrive at low oxygen tension, with potential appli...
Ustiloxins are a kind of cyclopeptide mycotoxins produced by rice false smut pathogen Villosiclava virens, which seriously threatens the safe production of rice and health of humans and animals. Hydroxylation, a biotransformation reaction that regio-...
Cancer constitutes a significant global health challenge, ranking among the leading contributors to worldwide mortality. The inherent limitations of conventional oncologic interventions, particularly their frequent inability to induce durable remissi...
Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) has been linked to several pathologies in human health, especially those involving the immune system. The vast majority of studies have focused on cells and functions of the adaptive immune system wit...
Rhizosphere microorganisms effectively exploit nutrient resources within the rhizosphere, while growth-promoting bacteria in this environment play a vital role in regulating soil fertility and enhancing plant health. In this study, we utilized a comp...
An EBSL-encoding plasmid, pESBL-PH, was identified during a nosocomial outbreak of Klebsiella pneumoniae ST628 at a United Kingdom general district hospital in 2018. The plasmid from the earliest 2018 K. pneumoniae strain discovered during the outbre...
Rapid environmental changes driven by human activities are contributing to a significant decline in global biodiversity, with avian species being particularly affected due to their migratory behavior. As highly mobile hosts, birds facilitate the geog...
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a foodborne pathogen commonly associated with the consumption of contaminated seafood, particularly oysters. While PCR and real-time PCR are widely used to detect its pathogenicity through tdh and trh gene detection, these...
