Direct hydrolysis of einkorn whole grain flour proteins for the generation of bioactive peptides using various proteases.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the direct release of BAPs from einkorn flour in one-step process. Thus, the protein extraction step was eliminated, thereby reducing processing cost. Commercial proteases (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase, and Trypsin), and crude enzyme from Bacillus mojavensis sp.

Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles using ZBP4 and their antibacterial potential against foodborne pathogens.

In this study, extracellular biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) by using the supernatant of ZBP4 after cultivation in nutrient broth at 33 °C for 24 h was investigated. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate was used as the precursor, and the reactions were performed at 33 °C for 72 h. The effects of pH 5-9 and precursor concentration (2-10 mM) were determined and the optima were found to be pH 7.

Production, properties and some applications of protease from alkaliphilic sp. EBTA6.

Extracellular protease production by a novel strain, sp. EBTA6, has been optimized by using central composite design of response surface methodology and properties and industrial applications of crude enzyme have been investigated. Three independent variables (temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration) chosen in the experimental design were significant terms and reduced cubic model fit with the design at  < 0.

Effects of process conditions and yeast extract on the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles by a novel indigenous isolate Bacillus sp. EKT1 and characterization of nanoparticles.

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) are attractive nanomaterials for application in medical diagnosis, because their toxicities are lower than the elemental selenium which is a functional element and essential for human. In the current study, SeNPs synthesis capability of a novel soil originated indigenous Bacillus isolate was investigated. In this context, effects of processing conditions (SeO concentration, pH, temperature, and time), and yeast extract supplementation on the synthesis of SeNPs have been tested.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using novel Bacillus sp. SBT8.

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using microorganisms is an important application of nanobiotechnology and green chemistry because of interest by pharmaceutical and food manufacturers. In this study, biosynthesis of AgNPs by a novel Bacillus strain isolated from a soil sample from Sakarya district in Turkey was investigated. Biosynthesis was performed using cell-free supernatant of the bacterium following 24 h growth.
