The application of PAHs-Degrading Pseudomonas aeruginosa to mitigate the phytotoxic impact of pyrene on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plants.

Mitigating the negative impacts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is an urgent need due to their toxicity and persistence in the environment. This study investigated the use of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ASU-B6 to detoxify pyrene (PY). The bacterium P.

Production and characterization of rhamnolipid biosurfactant from thermophilic bacterium isolated from Uhud mountain.

Introduction: Biosurfactants have been given considerable attention as they are potential candidates for several biotechnological applications.

Materials And Methods: In this study, a promising thermophilic biosurfactant-producing HA-2 was isolated from the volcanic and arid region of Uhud mountain, Madinah, Saudi Arabia. It was identified using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis.

Efficiency of thermostable purified laccase isolated from Physisporinus vitreus for azo dyes decolorization.

Laccases are versatile biocatalysts that are prominent for industrial purposes due to their extensive substrate specificity. Therefore, this research investigated producing laccase from Physisporinus vitreus via liquid fermentation. The results revealed that veratryl alcohol (4mM) was the most effective inducer 7500U/L.

Salmonellosis: An Overview of Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Innovative Approaches to Mitigate the Antimicrobial Resistant Infections.

is a major foodborne pathogen and a leading cause of gastroenteritis in humans and animals. is highly pathogenic and encompasses more than 2600 characterized serovars. The transmission of to humans occurs through the farm-to-fork continuum and is commonly linked to the consumption of animal-derived food products.

Microalgal upgrading of the fermentative biohydrogen produced from Bacillus coagulans via non-pretreated plant biomass.

Background: Hydrogen is a promising source of alternative energy. Fermentative production is more feasible because of its high hydrogen generation rate, simple operating conditions, and utilization of various organic wastes as substrates. The most significant constraint for biohydrogen production is supplying it at a low cost with fewer impurities.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Recent Alternatives to Antibiotics for the Control of Bacterial Pathogens with an Emphasis on Foodborne Pathogens.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most important global public health problems. The imprudent use of antibiotics in humans and animals has resulted in the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The dissemination of these strains and their resistant determinants could endanger antibiotic efficacy.

Characterization of thermo/halo stable cellulase produced from halophilic Virgibacillus salarius BM-02 using non-pretreated biomass.

The production of extremozymes from halophilic bacteria has increased significantly due to their stability and efficiency in catalyzing a reaction, as well as their capacity to display optimum activity at various salt concentrations. In the current study, the halophilic bacterium Virgibacillus salarius strain BM-02 could utilize many non-pretreated substrates including cellulose, corn stover, sugarcane bagasse and wheat bran as a sole carbon source. However, wheat bran was the best substrate for achieving optimum saccharification yield (90.

Role of Bacterial-Fungal Consortium for Enhancement in the Degradation of Industrial Dyes.

Background: The presence of anthraquinone (Disperse blue 64) and azodyes (Acid yellow 17) in a waterbody are considered among the most dangerous pollutants.

Methods: In this study, two different isolated microbes, bacterium and fungus, were individually and as a co-culture applied for the degradation of Disperse Blue 64 (DB 64) and Acid Yellow 17 (AY 17) dyes. The isolates were genetically identified based upon 16S (for bacteria) and ITS/5.

Quantification of Naphthalene Dioxygenase () and Catechol Dioxygenase () Catabolic Genes Produced by Phenanthrene-Degrading AH-40.

Background: Petroleum polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are known to be toxic and carcinogenic for humans and their contamination of soils and water is of great environmental concern. Identification of the key microorganisms that play a role in pollutant degradation processes is relevant to the development of optimal bioremediation strategies.

Objective: Detection of the ability of AH-40 to consume phenanthrene as a sole carbon source and determining the variation in the concentration of both and catabolic genes during 15 days of the incubation period.

Biodegradation ability and catabolic genes of petroleum-degrading Sphingomonas koreensis strain ASU-06 isolated from Egyptian oily soil.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are serious pollutants and health hazards. In this study, 15 PAHs-degrading bacteria were isolated from Egyptian oily soil. Among them, one Gram-negative strain (ASU-06) was selected and biodegradation ability and initial catabolic genes of petroleum compounds were investigated.
