Jujubes (Ziziphus jujuba Mill), characterized by a rich profile of bioactive compounds, have been historically less exploited due to their unappealing sensory characteristics when dried, including delayed bitterness and a limited shelf life when fres...

Aerobic composting is one of the methods for the resource utilization of submerged plant residues. This study investigated the effects of biochar, wetland sediments and microbial agents added individually or combined on the humification process, lign...

In recent years, magnetic fields have emerged as a non-thermophysical treatment with a significant impact on microbial fermentation processes. Brassica trispora is a microorganism known for its industrial-scale production of lycopene and high yield o...

Non-conventional yeasts (NCYs) (i.e., non-Saccharomyces) are used as alternative starters to promote aroma complexity of fermented foods (e.g., bakery products). A total of 66 yeasts isolated from artisanal food matrices (bread and pizza sourdoughs a...

Glycolate plays an important role as a platform chemical in both polymeric material and cosmetic industries. However, the microbial production of glycolate often encounters challenges associated with unbalanced metabolic flux, leading to a notably lo...

Koumiss, a traditional fermented beverage made from mare’s milk, is typically consumed by nomads. Industrialized production of koumiss has been increasingly applied recently due to the increased demand for the beverage and awareness of its pote...

ε-Poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) is a natural and safe food preservative mainly produced by the aerobic, filamentous bacterium Streptomyces albulus. Therefore, it is crucial to breed superior ε-PL-producing strains to enhance fermentati...

Plasmids are commonly used tools in microbiology and molecular biology and have important and wide-ranging applications in the study of gene function, protein expression, and compound synthesis. The complex relationship between necessary antibiotic a...

Anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge is limited at the hydrolysis stage of the process. The goal of this study was to assess the effects of sludge retention times and ultrasound pretreatment on the ammonium concentration and organic matter transforma...

This experiment was aimed at comparing how a chemical additive or an inoculant would affect the dry matter (DM) losses, fermentation pattern, yeast and mold counts, and aerobic stability (AS) of the ensiled high-moisture barley grain (675 g kg−...
