Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a novel approach for understanding anorexia nervosa (AN), a complex eating disorder characterized by severe underweight, fear of weight gain and distorted bo...

In this work, we studied the growth, survival and peptidolytic activity of Lactobacillus plantarum I91 in a hard-cheese model consisting of a sterile extract of Reggianito cheese. To assess the influence of the primary s...

The gut microbiota plays a central role in modulating both immunity and metabolism. Obesity-associated microbiota configuration is a critical driver of persistent inflammatory activation and immune dysfunction, ultimatel...

Ensuring microbial safety in drinking water remains a challenge, particularly for ageing infrastructure and complex treatment processes. Because water treatment works sit at the interface between source-water ecosystem i...

Mucinous cancers are characterized by tumor gland cells secreting copious amounts of mucus that forms gel-like structures. Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), a rare yet prototypical mucinous malignancy, exemplifies this patho...

Bacterial biofilm are complex microbial communities covered by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which develops when a community of microorganisms irreversibly adheres to a living or inert surface. This str...

Modern animal and crop production practices are associated with the regular use of antimicrobials, potentially increasing selection pressure on bacteria to become resistant. Alternative approaches are needed in order to ...

Abstract The food enzyme AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.6) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus subtilis strain CCTCC M 2023264 by Angel Yeast Co., Ltd. The production strain of the food enzyme...

Abstract Background After resection surgery, recurrence occurs in more than 30% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Previous studies have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota in CRC initiation and progression; how...

Objetivou-se propor uma metodologia de análise de sistemas de produção, tomando-se como base o fluxo quantitativo intra-anual e as características qualitativas do leite entregue pelos produtores de leite à indústri...

Abstract Background The vaginal and penile coronal sulcus microbiome influence reproductive health outcomes and susceptibility to multiple sexually transmitted infections including HIV. There is evidence that genital bac...

Abstract Background Several cyanobacterial strains are known to contain a high number of genome copies and elevated cell cycle dynamics. We systematically investigated the ploidy of the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis...

In the present work the microbial decontamination of some medicinal plants by plasma treatment using oxygen gas or a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen peroxide was investigated. The efficiency of the decontamination proce...

To understand the impact of gut microbes on human health and well-being it is crucial to assess their genetic potential. Here we describe the Illumina-based metagenomic sequencing, assembly and characterization of 3.3 mi...

Guazuma ulmifolia Lam., Sterculiaceae, conhecida popularmente como mutamba, possui ampla distribuição geográfica, existindo desde o México até o sul do Brasil. O interesse pelas suas propriedades químicas deveu-s...

During the last years, microorganisms (yeasts, fungi, microalgae and bacteria) have been receiving increasing attention as alternative lipid sources (also called single cells oils). Some lipid-accumulating bacteria, in p...
