Article Synopsis
- Kurut, a traditional dry dairy product in Central Asia, was analyzed for dominant bacteria in 84 samples from seven regions of Kyrgyzstan using advanced sequencing technology.
- The study found that the main bacteria belong to the Firmicutes phylum, with Lactobacillaceae as the most abundant family and Lactobacillus as the predominant genus.
- The findings suggest that further analysis of kurut could lead to industrial applications for starter cultures and potential therapeutic uses based on specific probiotic strains.
Article Synopsis
- Propolis is a resin-like substance made by honeybees, which was studied by collecting samples from honeybee hives in Eastern Türkiye and analyzing their DNA.
- Using advanced techniques like next-generation sequencing, researchers found that the bacterial community in propolis was mainly made up of Firmicutes, followed by other groups like Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria.
- The study highlighted specific bacterial families and species present in propolis, indicating a rich bacterial diversity and suggesting further research to explore its ecological, nutritional, and medicinal benefits.
This study, it is aimed to develop an electrochemical aptasensor that can detect phosphate ions using 3.3'5.5' tetramethylbenzidine (TMB).

In this study, 129 houseflies (69 males and 60 females) were collected from 10 different environmental sources and a laboratory population was used. The surface microbiota of houseflies was identified by Next-Generation Sequencing.

These lakes support the growth of ecologically and economically important microorganisms due to their unique geochemistry. Microbiota members of lakes are valuable models to study the link between community structure and abiotic parameters such as pH and salinity.

It is a common pollutant detected in surface and wastewaters to induce adverse effects on Human health as well as aquatic and terrestrial life forms. Since disinfectant use is essential in combatting against microorganisms, the best approach to reduce ecotoxicity level is to restrict BAC use.
