... A selective medium was developed for the isolation and quantification of Fomitopsis meliae (FMS medium), the causal agent of lemon canker and brown wood rot, from plants, soil, and air. The optimal concentration and combination of fungicides and antibiotics was evaluated to determine the most selective condition for growing F. meliae. The resultant composition of the FMS medium per liter (pH 3.5) ...
... To improve the performance of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄), a hotly researched metal-free photocatalyst, for better application in the efficient removal of organic pollutants, adsorption synergistically enhanced photocatalysis mechanism was thoroughly explored. Based on KOH pore-forming activated biochar (ACB) and K⁺ doped g-C₃N₄ (K-gC₃N₄), the novel activated biochar-based K-gC₃N₄ composite ...

Abstract:
... Salmonella is considered one of the leading causes for foodborne diseases in humans. Pork and its products contaminated with Salmonella are increasingly recognized as an important source of human salmonellosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial resistance and prevalence of integrons in Salmonella isolates from pig farms. In total, 92 of 724 (12.7%) samples were Salmonella- ...
... New complexes of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions with niflumic acid (Hnif) were obtained in solid state using a green synthesis method and their physico-chemical properties, thermoanalytical behaviour in air and nitrogen as well as antibacterial activity were studied. Employing the results of elemental analysis (EA), complexometric titration with EDTA and TG/DTG-DSC analysi ...
... In the practical application process, the reactivity and performance of ZVI-based materials when being placed in the air for a few days, weeks or months was worth studying. Most studies on the aging of ZVI were carried out in solution, only considering the reactivity of ZVI in aqueous solution. In this work, we investigated the degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP) in sulfuric acid (SA) and citric ...
... Antibiotic contamination in water and soil has been widely investigated. However, there is still no effective removal method for antibiotics from water or soil environments. Therefore, the single and competitive sorption dynamics of ionizable tetracycline (TC), sulfamethazine (SMZ), norfloxacin (NOR), erythromycin (ERY), and chloramphenicol (CAP) adsorbed by NaOH-activated and hematite-modified bi ...

Abstract:
... The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of applying commercial activated carbons currently used in water treatment plants and modified carbon at 400 and 800 °C in the atmosphere of air, water vapour and carbon dioxide to remove chloramphenicol. Adsorption kinetics was examined for solutions with pH of 2–10. Adsorption kinetics were determined for the initial concentration of ...
... In this study, an Fe(Ⅱ)/S(IV) system was designed for the degradation of chloramphenicol (CAP). The pseudo-first-order rate constants for CAP degradation under typical conditions with and without air purging were investigated. The greatly enhanced rate of 0.0099 min−1 with air purging compared with 0.0006 min−1 with no air purging indicated that aeration was significant to the degradation of CAP i ...
... Two extraction strategies for albendazole, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim, enrofloxacin, oxitetracycline and nicarbazin in egg were optimized for its quantitation by liquid chromatography. First, two designs were built to find out the optimized condition for the air assisted-dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of organic drop: a fractional factorial and a central compos ...
... Fungal bio-aerosols are of concern due to their adverse health effects, especially in indoor environments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the concentration and type of fungal bio-aerosols in the indoor and outdoor of Children’s Medical Center in Tehran, Iran. In the present descriptive-analytical study, the fungal bio-aerosols’ concentrations in both indoor and outd ...
... Fungi are one of the bioaerosols in indoor air of hospitals. They have adverse effects on staff and patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of three incubation temperature on the density and composition of airborne fungi in an indoor and outdoor space of hospital. Sabouraud dextrose agar was used for culture the fungi. For improvement of aseptic properties, chloramphenicol w ...
... The airborne spores of some saprophytic and allergenic fungi such as Aspergillus, Alternaria, and Cladosporium are found throughout the world and exposure to these agents may result in various types of allergic diseases. The aim of this study, therefore, was to investigate the frequency of different saprophytic, allergenic, and pathogenic fungi in indoor and outdoor environments. During a 6-month ...
... The more the mold species isolated on a culture medium, the more the sampling environment is represented accurately. According to the sampling purpose, it is crucial to use the best culture medium for mold. However, no study is available regarding the comparison of dichloran rose bengal chloramphenicol (DRBC) and Sabouraud dextrose agar with cycloheximide and chloramphenicol (SDA-CHX-CHL) culture ...

... BACKGROUND: This study describes the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of 78 genetically different Escherichia coli recovered from air and exudate samples of a dairy cattle farm and its surroundings in Spain, in order to gain insight into the flow of antimicrobial resistance through the environment and food supply. RESULTS: Antimicrobial resistance was detected in 21.8% of the 78 E. coli is ...
... Over the past few years, pharmaceutical drugs have been considered as emerging pollutants due to their continuous input and persistence in the aquatic ecosystem even at low concentrations. They have been detected worldwide in environmental matrices, indicating their ineffective removal from water and wastewaters using conventional methods. In this study we present photocatalytic purification of wa ...
... Recent studies offer contradictory findings about the role of multidrug efflux pumps in bacterial biofilm development. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the involvement of the AcrAB efflux pump in biofilm formation by investigating the ability of AcrB and AcrAB null mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to produce biofilms. Three models were used to compare the ability of ...

Sediment samples, collected from a large shallow lake, Taihu, China, were incubated in two conditions (with and without air extraction) with regard to four soil enzyme’s inhibitors (dry and moist heat sterilizations, chloramphenicol and toluene) to estimate the potential nitrate reductase (Nar) activities. The objectives of paper were to define (1) whether to exclude air from the mixture of sedime ...
... Changes in the physiological properties of the green alga Chlorella ellipsoidea (UTEX 20) were determined during adaptation from high CO2 toair. Cells of C. ellipsoidea, grown in high CO2, had an extremely low affinity for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). However, high-affinity DIC transport was induced rapidly after switching to air, which caused a massive decrease in the DIC concentration in th ...
