The bioprocessing strategy is an effective approach to improve bioavailability and stability of bioactive compounds for designing functional foods and ingredients. In this study, food barley was bio-transformed to improve functional bioactives by spr...

Due to the importance of microbes in soil health and crop production, manipulation of microbiomes provides a new strategy for improving crop growth and agricultural ecosystems. Current understanding is limited regarding the responses of soil and crop...

Brettanomyces bruxellensis is a wine spoilage concern in wineries around the world. In order to maintain wine quality during storage and ageing, it is imperative to control and monitor this yeast. Being a fastidious slow growing yeast, which requires...

Soil contamination with petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) has become a global concern and has resulted from the intensification of industrial activities. This has created a serious environmental issue; therefore, there is a need to find solutions, includ...

The anaerobic fermentation of glucose and fructose was performed by Actinobacillus succinogenes 130Z in batch mode using three different volume of bioreactors (0.25, 1 and 3 L). The strategy used was the addition of MgCO3 and fumaric acid (FA) as min...

Background: the aim of this study was to improve the overall microbiological quality of five different sprouts (alfalfa, kale, lentil, sunflower, radish) using newly isolated bacteriophages. Method: in this study we had isolated from sewage 18 bacter...

Microbial attachment to surfaces is ubiquitous in nature. Most species of bacteria attach and adhere to surfaces via special appendages such as pili and fimbriae, the roles of which have been extensively studied. Here, we report an experiment on pilu...

Beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB)-based fermentation is an effective bioprocessing approach to improve human-health-targeted functional benefits of plant-based food substrates, such as cereal grains. Previously, we observed high phenolic bioactiv...

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most deleterious form of DNA damage and are repaired through non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous recombination (HR). Repair initiation, regulation and communication with signaling pathways require s...

Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in continuous bioprocessing as a cost-optimised production strategy, driven by a rising global requirement for recombinant proteins used as biological drugs. This strategy could provide several benefi...
