Bacterial communities associated with Zeldia punctata, a bacterivorous soil-borne nematodeInternational Microbiology - Tập 25 - Trang 207-216 - 2021
Ebrahim Shokoohi, Phatu William Mashela, Ricardo A. R. Machado
Soil inhabiting organisms are important determinants of agroecosystem productivity. Understanding the composition, the abundance, and the type of interactions established by soil microorganisms is therefore crucial to design strategies to improve agricultural practices and agroecosystem management. In this study, we collected Zeldia punctata nematodes in maize fields in South Africa and profiled t...... hiện toàn bộ
A new spike-in-based method for quantitative metabarcoding of soil fungi and bacteriaInternational Microbiology - - Trang 1-12 - 2023
Miguel Camacho-Sanchez
Metabarcoding is a powerful tool to characterize biodiversity in biological samples. The interpretation of taxonomic profiles from metabarcoding data has been hindered by their compositional nature. Several strategies have been proposed to transform compositional data into quantitative data, but they have intrinsic limitations. Here, I propose a workflow based on bacterial and fungal cellular inte...... hiện toàn bộ

This study aimed to analyze Escherichia coli from marketed meat samples in Peru. Sixty-six E. coli isolates were recovered from 21 meat samples (14 chicken, 7 beef), and antimicrobial resistance levels and the presence of mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, as well as clonal relationships and phylogeny of colistin-resistant isolates, were established. High levels of antimicrobial resistance were ...... hiện toàn bộ
Safety, functional properties and technological performance in whey-based media of probiotic candidates from human breast milkInternational Microbiology - Tập 22 - Trang 265-277 - 2018
María Florencia Zacarías, Ana Binetti, Wilhelm Bockelmann, Jorge Reinheimer, Knut Heller, Gabriel Vinderola
We aimed at isolating and characterising microorganisms present in human breast milk with probiotic potential. In an 8-week postpartum sampling period, two strains of bifidobacteria (Bifidobacterium longum LM7a and Bifidobacterium dentium LM8a’) and four strains of lactobacilli were isolated, all during the first 4-week postpartum. B. longum LM7a and B. dentium LM8a’, together with four strains pr...... hiện toàn bộ
Recent insight into the advances and prospects of microbial lipases and their potential applications in industryInternational Microbiology - - 2024
Azadeh Eskandari, Thean Chor Leow, Mohd Basyaruddin Abdul Rahman, Siti Nurbaya Oslan
Enzymes play a crucial role in various industrial sectors. These biocatalysts not only ensure sustainability and safety but also enhance process efficiency through their unique specificity. Lipases possess versatility as biocatalysts and find utilization in diverse bioconversion reactions. Presently, microbial lipases are gaining significant focus owing to the rapid progress in enzyme technology a...... hiện toàn bộ
Adaptive strategies of uropathogenic Escherichia coli CFT073: from growth in lab media to virulence during host cell adhesionInternational Microbiology - - 2022
Meysam Sarshar, Daniela Scribano, Dolores Limongi, Carlo Zagaglia, Anna Teresa Palamara, Cecilia Ambrosi
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a major concern in public health. The prevalent uropathogenic bacterium in healthcare settings is Escherichia coli. The increasing rate of antibiotic-resistant strains demands studies to understand E. coli pathogenesis to drive the development of new therapeutic approaches. This study compared the gene expression profile of selected target genes in the prototype...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative metagenomics and microbial dynamics of jute retting environmentInternational Microbiology - - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Nasima Aktar, Emdadul Mannan, Shah Md. Tamim Kabir, Rajnee Hasan, Md Sabbir Hossain, Rasel Ahmed, Borhan Ahmed, Md. Shahidul Islam
Jute, eco-friendly natural fiber, depends on conventional water-based microbial retting process that suffers from the production of low-quality fiber, restricting its diversified applications. The efficiency of water retting of jute depends on plant polysaccharide fermenting pectinolytic microorganisms. Understanding the phase difference in retting microbial community composition is crucial to pro...... hiện toàn bộ
Isolation and characterization of a newly chrysene-degrading Achromobacter aegrifaciensInternational Microbiology - - Trang 1-13 - 2023
Assia Lazzem, Abdelmalek Lekired, Hadda-Imene Ouzari, Ahmed Landoulsi, Abdelwaheb Chatti, Alya El May
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered substances of potential human health hazards because of their resistance to biodegradation and carcinogenic index. Chrysene is a PAH with a high molecular weight (HMW) that poses challenges for its elimination from the environment. However, bacterial degradation is an effective, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective solution. In our stu...... hiện toàn bộ
