Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation has been claimed as an effective way of modifying the sensory properties of plant-based foods. However, not much has been published on the influence of different LAB strains on the flavour of the volatile organ...

Ultrasound (US) is a technology that enables microbial inactivation through cavitation-induced cell wall disruption, preserving food safety and quality. This study evaluated the impact of US parameters, including time, temperature, and surrounding me...

Background and Objectives: The imminent threat of antibiotic resistance has spurred studies of nonconventional antimicrobial approaches. Gallium utilization is a promising and emerging approach to treating a variety of resistant bacteria using &ldquo...

Background/Objectives: Uric acid (UA) levels vary based on gender, but elevated UA levels are linked to various health conditions in both sexes. Methods: This study examined the impact of a high-pectin smoothie (11.6 g fiber/day) consumption for 3 we...

The environment hosts a diversity of microorganisms whose potential for biotechnological applications has not yet been exhausted. The quest of our study was to find isolates of Pichia kudriavzevii from the environment that could be used as new biotec...

Atherosclerosis (AS) is emerging as a major global public health problem. Researchers are developing and implementing various anti-AS strategies. This study aimed to investigate gut microbiota and metabolite changes associated with elevated serum low...

Background: Cattle production is a cornerstone of U.S. agriculture but faces increasing pressure to balance profitability with environmental sustainability. Optimizing the ruminal microbiome to enhance feed efficiency could help address both challeng...

The development of extensive antibiotic resistance has created an urgent demand to identify novel sources of antimicrobial agents. Interest in actinomycetes has become prevalent around the world because of their ability to generate several beneficial...

The increasing complexity of food safety concerns, driven by the rising risks of contamination from pathogens, chemical hazards, and environmental influences, has highlighted the need for more effective detection and prevention strategies. Metagenomi...

The presence of opportunistic pathogens, such as the Enterobacter cloacae complex (ECC), in fresh vegetables poses a significant health risk, particularly amid the ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis. Traditional chemical decontamination methods are...
