Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oils of Different Species from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Background/objectives: The emergence of antimicrobial resistance has urged researchers to explore new antimicrobial agents, such as essential oils (EOs). The aim of this study was to examine chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of the EOs from the needles and green cones of four species ( Turra., J.

Comprehensive Insight into Cutaneous Application of Hemp.

Known for its natural bio-compounds and therapeutic properties, hemp is being utilized in the development of skin products. These products offer a wide range of applications and benefits in the fields of natural bio-compounds, pharmaceutical technology, topical delivery systems, and cosmeceuticals. This manuscript deals with hemp actives, such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, and their diverse biological properties relative to topical application, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects.

Recent advances in the use of Trichoderma-containing multicomponent microbial inoculants for pathogen control and plant growth promotion.

Chemical pesticides and fertilizers are used in agricultural production worldwide to prevent damage from plant pathogenic microorganisms, insects, and nematodes, to minimize crop losses and to preserve crop quality. However, the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers can severely pollute soil, water, and air, posing risks to the environment and human health. Consequently, developing new, alternative, environment-friendly microbial soil treatment interventions for plant protection and crop yield increase has become indispensable.

Screening of Native Species for Nickel and Copper Bioremediation Potential Determined by FTIR and XRF.

Soil pollution with heavy metals is a serious threat to the environment. However, soils polluted with heavy metals are considered good sources of native metal-resistant strains. spp.

Effects of on Photosynthetic Characteristics and Fruit Quality of Tomato Plants.

The beneficial role of fungi from the genus and its secondary metabolites in promoting plant growth, uptake and use efficiency of macronutrients and oligo/micro-nutrients, activation of plant secondary metabolism and plant protection from diseases makes it interesting for application in environmentally friendly agriculture. However, the literature data on the effect of inoculation on tomato fruit quality is scarce. Commercially used tomato cultivars were chosen in combination with indigenous species previously characterized on molecular and biochemical level, to investigate the effect of on photosynthetic characteristics and fruit quality of plants grown in organic system of production.
