inoculum, etc ; acclimation; anaerobic digestion; biodegradability; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Growing concern regarding non-biodegradable plastics and the impact of these materials on the environment has promoted interest in biodegradable plastics. The intensification of separate biowastes collection in most European countries has also contributed to the development of biodegradable plastics, and the subject of their end-of-life is becoming a key issue. To date, there has been relatively l ...

Abstract:
... The use of more appropriate kinetic models can assist in improving ethanol fermentation under conditions of very high gravity (VHG) and high cell density (HCD), in order to obtain higher amounts of ethanol in the broth combined with high productivity. The aim of this study was to model fed-batch ethanol fermentation under VHG/HCD conditions, at different temperatures, considering three types of in ...

Abstract:
... The current study was performed to reduce biogenic amine (BA) content in Baechu (napa cabbage) kimchi using food additives for prevention of BA-related risks. Through in-vitro experiments, among 9 selected additives, nicotinic acid and glycine exhibited the highest inhibitory effects on the tyramine production of a prolific tyramine-producing Levilactobacillus brevis BC1M20, showing inhibition of ...

Abstract:
... The human oral cavity is host to a diverse microbiota. Much of what is known about the behaviour of oral microbes derives from studies of individual or several cultivated species, situations which do not totally reflect the function of organisms within more complex microbiota or multispecies biofilms. The number of validated models that allow examination of the role that biofilms play during oral ...
inoculum, etc ; Bradyrhizobium japonicum; bacteriocins; enzymes; mutants; plasmids; rhizosphere; soybeans; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Bacteriocins are narrow-spectrum antibiotics of bacterial origin that can affect competition in resource-limited environments, such as the rhizosphere. Therefore, bacteriocins may be good candidates for manipulation to generate more competitive inocula for soybean. In this study, Bradyrhizobium japonicum FN1, along with other Bradyrhizobia in our culture collection, was screened for bacteriocin-li ...
inoculum, etc ; conidia; models; orchards; peaches; plant pathology; relative risk; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Dispersal gradient and the maximum distance that spores of M. fructicola can spread allow the quantification of the relative risk of disease spread from spores originating from local or distant sources. This study aims to estimate the M. fructicola conidia dispersal gradient from the edge of a peach orchard. For that, three sets of spore traps were placed at an open field from the edge of an exper ...

Abstract:
... Two commercial dry strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and their different inoculum levels were used to carry out cider fermentation to assess their impact on the quality and volatile flavour composition of cider. Analyses indicated that the composition and production of flavour compounds of ciders are generally significantly affected by the strains and inoculation levels. Additionally, the Uvafer ...
inoculum, etc ; biomass; enzyme activity; green waste; lignocellulose; nitrogen; systematic review; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Composting is a promising process for green waste (GW) management. However, reducing the processing time and increasing end-product quality are aspects to be improved. A strategy to optimize GW composting is using bacterial strains and microbial consortia that stimulate lignocellulose degradation. This work systematically analyses the research trends on the use of those bacterial inoculants and mi ...

Abstract:
... AIM: Soil abiotic and biotic conditions are often spatially variable, challenging plants with a heterogeneous environment consisting of favorable and unfavorable patches of soil. Many stoloniferous clonal plants can escape from unfavorable patches by elongating stolon internodes, but aggregate in favorable ones through shortening stolon internodes. However, whether the connected mother and daughte ...

Abstract:
... A sustainable approach of Desmodesmus sp. GIEC-179: Klebsiella pneumoniae (DUT-XJR-t-1.2) co-culture ratios were optimized to remove tetracycline (TET) from synthetic wastewater. To enhance the tetracycline removal performance, the effect of microalgae-bacterial co-culture ratio, maximum TET concentration, effective inoculum amount, growth temperature and pH were studied. The optimized ratio 1:2 o ...

Abstract:
... The influence of the inoculum on bacterial communities of Spanish-style green table olive brinesis very limited. This work assessed the size and structure of the bacterial communities in olive brines inoculated with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. Also, a new qPCR assay was developed to determine the specific abundance of this genus. Absolute abundances of total Bacteria and L.plantarum decrease st ...

Abstract:
... Industrially relevant syngas (15 % CO, 15% H₂, 20% N₂ in 50% CO₂) fermentation and microbial electrosynthesis were integrated as a single process unit in open and closed-circuit modes. This study examined the impact of electrochemical reducing power from –50 to –400 mV on the acetic acid synthesis and CO inhibition on fermentation. –150 mV vs. Ag/AgCl (3.0 NaCl) was identified as the lowest benchm ...

Abstract:
... Bread is Europe’s most wasted food, and the second most wasted food after potatoes in UK. Bread waste (BW) is a clean source of high-quality fermentable sugars. In this study, the potential of Enterobacter ludwigii to accumulate 2,3-butanediol (BDO) from BW was evaluated. Initially, the optimal inoculum size and yeast extract concentration were determined, followed by extraction of sugars from BW ...

Abstract:
... Brown rot is the main disease of stone fruits in Brazil, but the susceptibility of peaches to brown rot at different stages of development in the field has not been studied under subtropical conditions. This information is relevant to guide the management of the disease. The objective of this research was to determine the influence of inoculating peaches with Monilinia fructicola at different stag ...

Abstract:
... An effective statistical tool for increasing and boosting the production of xylanase and pectinase by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ADI2 during submerged fermentation (SmF) appears to be the response of surface methodology (RSM) using the central composite design (CCD). Optimum production was achieved under fermentation conditions of a temperature of 28 °C, pH of 8.38, inoculum size of 4% (w/v) and a ...

Abstract:
... Ceftriaxone is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin that may be one option to treat methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Although MSSA may be susceptible to ceftriaxone, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is generally two- to four-fold higher than other susceptible bacterial pathogens. This study aimed to explore the pharmacodynamics of ceftriaxone against MSSA and to determine ...

Abstract:
... Mink manure is one of the high nitrogenous wastes, which can easily cause nitrogen mineralization during composting, resulting in low resource reutilization. However, there are few studies on the resource utilization of mink manure. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of functional microbial (bacterial and actinomycetes agents) inoculation on nitrogen mineralization during mink manure c ...
