Systematic review of associations between anxiety, depression, and functional/biological aging among cancer survivors.

Background: Evidence suggests a mind-body component to aging through which psychological distress from anxiety and depression drives molecular changes that promote early decline (ie, accelerated aging). Cancer survivors experience particularly high rates of anxiety and depression. Some survivors also have accelerated aging, though the relationships between anxiety and depression and aging are not clear.

EPS Production by Using Glycerol, Glucose, and Molasses as Carbon Sources.

This study demonstrates that can produce exopolysaccharides (EPSs) using alternative carbon sources, such as sugarcane molasses and glycerol. After screening 22 strains of Lactobacillus to determine which achieved the highest production of EPS based on dry weight at 37 °C, the strain Ke8 () was selected for new experiments. The EPS obtained using glycerol and glucose as carbon sources was classified as a heteropolysaccharide composed of glucose and mannose, containing 1730 g.

Antibacterial activity of Cymbopogon species essential oils against Xanthomonas citri and their use in post-harvest treatment for citrus canker management.

Citrus canker is a disease caused by the gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas citri subp. citri (X. citri), which affects all commercially important varieties of citrus and can lead to significant losses.

Bisdechlorogeodin from antarctic Pseudogymnoascus sp. LAMAI 2784 for citrus canker control.

Aims: Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (X. citri) is a disease of economic importance.
