- Abstract:
- ... Linoleate 13-lipoxygenase from Burkholderia thailandensis was expressed in Escherichia coli for the production of 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE), an antiseptic emulsifier. Linoleate 13-lipoxygenase in cells had higher thermal stability than the purified enzyme. To increase 13-HODE production, recombinant cells were permeabilized by solvents, detergents, salts, and other chemicals. The en ...

- Abstract:
- ... Nitraria sibirica Pall. (Zygophyllaceae) are traditionally utilized as food or folk medicine in China. To provide the basis for exploiting Nitraria resources and developing a natural food antiseptic, we determined the in vitro radical scavenging activity and antimicrobial activities of N. sibirica fruits. For the radical scavenging activity study, fruits of N. sibirica were extracted by 70% aceton ...

- Abstract:
- ... Recently, we showed that monochloramine (NH₂Cl) has a significantly stronger bactericidal and fungicidal activity than chloramine T despite its lower oxidizing power. This phenomenon was explained by increased penetration because of the higher lipophilicity and smaller bulk of NH₂Cl. As iodine (I₂) has an even fivefold higher bulk than NH₂Cl, a comparison of both compounds regarding their microbic ...

- Abstract:
- ... Queens of leaf-cutting ants found their nests singly, each consisting of a vertical tunnel and a final horizontal chamber. Because of the claustral mode of nest founding, the queen and/or her initial fungus garden are exposed to threats imposed by several soil pathogens, and the antibiotic secretions produced by their metapleural glands are considered a main adaptation to deal with them. Nests of ...

- Abstract:
- ... Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris can survive the pasteurization process, multiply in pasteurized juices and produce guaiacol which causes medicinal or antiseptic off-flavors. Chemical preservatives have the potential to suppress outgrowth of surviving populations during subsequent storage of fruit juices. In the present study, the individual effects of potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, potassium ...

While silver-loaded catheters are widely used to prevent early-onset catheter-related infections [1], long term antimicrobial protection of indwelling catheters remains to be achieved [2] and antiseptic functionalization of coatings often impairs their hemocompatibility characteristics. Therefore, this work aimed to capitalize on the antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles, incorporated i ...
