Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous environmental Gram-negative bacterium and also an opportunistic pathogen for both humans and animals, causing acute or chronic infections. It has been frequently detected in healthy and diseased reptiles, more c...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, aerosols, and contaminated surfaces. While high-traffic locations like hospitals and airports have been studied extensively, detecting signif...

The terrestrial biota is a rich source of biologically active substances whose anti-biofilm potential is not studied enough. The aim of this review is to outline a variety of terrestrial sources of antimicrobial agents with the ability to inhibit dif...

Lignocellulosic biomass is contemplated to be an inexpensive and copious feedstock that can be used for numerous industrial applications. However, lignin forms the lignin sheath and provides a physical barrier to enzymatic hydrolysis. In addition, li...

Background: Elongation factor protein (EF-P) in bacteria helps ribosomes to incorporate contiguous proline residues (xPro) into proteins. In this way, EF-P rescues ribosomes from stalling at these xPro motifs. Whereas EF-P deficiency is lethal for so...

Synbiotics are mixtures of prebiotics and probiotics that enhance the activity of probiotic bacteria when co-administered to provide greater benefits to the host. Traditionally, the synbiotics that have been discovered enhance gut probiotic strains a...

Various microorganisms, referred to as kuratsuki microorganisms, inhabit each sake brewery. Previously, kuratsuki yeasts had been used for sake production in each sake brewery. Kuratsuki lactic acid bacteria have been used to produce kimoto, a fermen...

The pesticide active ingredient azoxystrobin is widely used in agriculture and has negative effects for the environment and contained organisms. Bacterial strains have been reported to degrade azoxystrobin, but precise methodologies for producing and...

Sclerotinia minor (S. minor) Jagger is a phytopathogenic fungus that causes lettuce drop, a serious problem in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) production. The control of this pathogen is challenging because of the resistance of sclerotia, which can survi...

Composting is an environmentally friendly process, turning animal waste into fertilizer. Chicken litter compost (CLC) improves soil properties, increasing crop yields. However, the CLC effect on the soil microbiome is understudied. This study aimed t...
