The use of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RASs) in fish farms reduces water consumption and the emission of polluted effluents into the environment. The microbial community in a RAS biofilter is crucial for effective water purification. This stud...
Surfactin is an amphiphilic lipopeptide, composed of a cyclic heptapeptide linked to a β-hydroxy fatty acid. This structural configuration gives rise to its remarkable biosurfactant properties. The synthesis is performed by a non-ribosomal pepti...
Oleaginous fungi are promising platforms for sustainable production of lipids and very-long-chain fatty acids, including nervonic acid (NA; 24:1 n-9), whose natural availability is limited despite its importance. Following the identification of a pro...
Raffinose-family oligosaccharides (RFOs) such as raffinose, stachyose and verbascose are abundant in legumes and are associated with gastrointestinal discomfort, particularly in individuals sensitive to FODMAPs. This study aimed to identify and chara...
This study evaluated the anti-biofilm activity of the lipopeptide of Streptomyces lavendulae subsp. lavendulae 214 and aminoglycolipid biosurfactant of Streptomyces griseoflavus 2265 strains against biofilm formation by Xanthomonas strains. The biosu...
Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has reshaped bacterial infectious disease diagnostics, yet important interpretive gaps remain regarding the relationship among molecular detection, cycle threshold (Ct) values, microbial viability, culture fi...
Unsustainable agricultural practices and overreliance on chemical fertilizers have led to severe environmental issues, such as soil and water pollution, loss of biodiversity, and risks to human and animal health. Moreover, plant diseases continuously...
Bacteria sense, respond, and adapt to rapidly changing environments through highly sensitive intracellular networks. Among them, cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a well-characterized second messenger controlling the transition from planktonic to sessile l...
This study aimed to investigate the microbiome profile of Culex pipiens, the most abundant mosquito and pathogen vector in the Palearctic, and to find microbiome region and ecotype specificity. The taxon Cx. pipiens includes two ecotypes—pipien...
The emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has created a need for new, targeted alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Bacteriocins and other targeted antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are emerging therapeutic approaches that have attracted atten...
The gastrointestinal microbiome plays a central role in host physiology, and the predominance of beneficial microorganisms is associated with improved metabolic and immune functions. Enterococci are natural members of the gut microbiota and are known...
Lactobacilli are Gram-positive fermentative bacteria with GRAS (“Generally Recognized As Safe”) status. Since 2017, it has been reported that many lactobacilli strains can form extracellular vesicles. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are sphe...
Plants have coevolved with microbes for nearly 500 million years; however, their interrelationship is not well understood. Plant roots have an intricate relationship with soil microbes. Such relationships mold the growth, development, immunity and ph...
Traditional fermented foods are important reservoirs of wild microorganisms with technological, sensory, protective, and functional potential. However, the performance of these isolates in controlled or compositionally different food matrices remains...
