Biocontrol Activity of CH05 and CH13 Isolated from L. Seeds against Fungal Strains.

In this study, seed-surface-associated bacteria from fresh fruits of spp. were analyzed to explore potential isolates for biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungal strains. A total of 76 bacterial isolates were obtained from three different species of chili pepper ( L.

The importance of factorial design on the optimization of biosensor performance: immobilization of glucose oxidase as a case study.

Conventionally, the optimization of glucose biosensors is achieved by varying the concentrations of the individual reagents used to immobilize the enzyme. In this work, the effect and interaction between glucose oxidase enzyme (GOx), ferrocene methanol (Fc), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) at different concentrations were investigated by a design of experiments (DoE). For this analysis, a factorial design with three factors and two levels each was used with the software RStudio for statistical analysis.

Role of Volatile Organic Compounds Produced by Cp1 during Competitive Colonization Interaction against SM2.

The competitive colonization of bacteria on similar ecological niches has a significant impact during their establishment. The synthesis speeds of different chemical classes of molecules during early competitive colonization can reduce the number of competitors through metabolic effects. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that Cp1 previously isolated from the seeds of R.

Abiotic, Hybrid, and Biological Electrocatalytic Materials Applied in Microfluidic Fuel Cells: A Comprehensive Review.

This article provides an overview of the work reported in the past decade in the field of microfluidic fuel cells. To develop appropriate research, the most commonly used electrocatalytic materials were considered and a new classification was proposed based on their nature: abiotic, hybrid, or biological. This classification allowed the authors to discern the information collected.

A Study of Resistome in Mexican Chili Powder as a Public Health Risk Factor.

Chili powder is an important condiment around the world. However, according to various reports, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms could present a public health risk factor during its consumption. Therefore, microbiological quality assessment is required to understand key microbial functional traits, such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs).
