Cutaway peatlands in the midlands of the Republic of Ireland are rarely the focus of scientific studies. The soil quality and related microenvironment have been severely impacted by peat extraction. Returning them to a ‘near-natural state&rsquo...

A phenomenological model of planktonic microbial cultures, reported in previous papers, suggests that the whole growth progress seems planned by the microbial population since a pre-growth latency phase, during which the population level remains at i...

The fish gut microbiome plays an essential role in the host’s development and survival. Environmental factors can shape the gut microbiome and potentially mediate physiological performance. Seasonal environments that experience regular abiotic...

The development of alternative (and free-of-antibiotics) antibacterial and antibiofilm agents is an important strategy to circumvent the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. Herein, we explore the production of mixed oxides by incorporating silver...

Novel benzoxazines were synthesized by microwave irradiation and tested for their potential binding affinity towards receptors of advanced glycation end products (RAGE). We found that the compound (2-(2-bromophenyl)-6-methyl-2,4-dihydro-1H-benzo[d][1...

The commercial onshore aquaculture of the spiny lobster Panulirus ornatus, while in its infancy, has progressed rapidly from the enabling research that continues at the University of Tasmania. The development of lobster feeds, both fresh and manufact...

Gut microbes are immunologically tolerated in the gastrointestinal tract but trigger aggressive immune responses upon translocation across the gut barrier. Although oral tolerance, a physiological process that dampens immune responses to food protein...

Endophytic yeast species were studied in the internal tissues of ripe cultivated vegetables and fruits. A total of 19 yeast species, 11 ascomycete species, and 8 basidiomycete species were observed in the internal tissues of all fruits examined. The...

Modern biotechnology benefits from the introduction of novel chassis organisms in remedying the limitations of already-established strains. For this, Paracoccus pantotrophus was chosen for in-depth assessment. Its unique broad metabolism and robustne...

Many publications report coatings that exhibit antimicrobial potency applicable to high-touch surfaces and desirable for healthcare settings to contribute to reductions in the occurrence of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI). In this review, the impo...
