Cocoa bean quality is strongly influenced by microbial fermentation, which drives flavour development through enzymatic activity. Despite its importance, the specific microorganisms, particularly those producing pectinase, remain poorly characterized...
Marine-derived fungi are important reservoirs of bioactive secondary metabolites, yet the diversity of fungal producers of mycophenolic acid (MPA) remains incompletely explored. In this study, 304 fungal strains were isolated from marine sediments co...
Pollution by emerging contaminants like microplastic is one of the major environmental concerns. Microplastics have become ubiquitous anthropogenic pollutants of aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric ecosystems, and can generate considerable ecologica...
The development of alternative strategies for gluten detoxification represents an important approach for the management of celiac disease and other gluten-related disorders. This study aimed to identify gluten-degrading Bacillus strains with probioti...
Mangrove sediments represent dynamic coastal microbiomes that harbor diverse microbial communities under fluctuating environmental conditions. Unlike extensively studied bacterial communities, yeast microbiomes in mangrove habitats remain poorly unde...
Entomopathogenic fungi of the genus Metarhizium can degrade and penetrate the insect cuticle through the coordinated action of hydrolytic enzymes, mainly lipases, proteases, and chitinases, whose production varies according to the fungal species and...
The spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria has renewed interest in combining the targeted killing of bacteriophages with immunomodulatory antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). AMPs offer broad antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and immunomodulatory effects,...
Campylobacter spp. are a major foodborne zoonosis, and poultry slaughterhouses are One Health interfaces where animal carriage, environmental reservoirs and worker exposure intersect. We performed a comprehensive systematic review and meta-regression...
Fungal communities associated with the phyllosphere can influence plant health, stress responses, and disease dynamics in managed crop systems. However, limited information is available on fungal microbiome structure across phyllosphere compartments...
In this study, previously selected lactic acid bacteria (LAB)—Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei, and Loigolactobacillus coryniformis—as well as kefir ferment were evaluated as adjunct cultures in pasteurized goat&rsq...
The increasing demand for sustainable crop protection strategies has intensified interest in plant-beneficial bacteria as alternatives to synthetic agrochemicals. In this study, the soil-derived bacterium Pseudomonas putida V01 was isolated and chara...
Microbial diversity and sustainable agriculture are key players for the mutual harmony of the nature/agriculture ecosystem that align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, to harness their best potential, it is necessary to understa...
Fruit rot disease is a major obstacle for starapple production in Vietnam. Therefore, the aims of the current study were (i) to identify the causing agents for fruit rot in starapple, (ii) to select isolates of Trichoderma spp. as antagonists, and (i...
