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.

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.

Electrostatic Fermentation: Molecular Response Insights for Tailored Beer Production.

Electrostatic fermentation avoids the cellular redox imbalance of traditional fermentation, but knowledge gaps exist. This study explores the impact of electrostatic fermentation on the growth, volatile profile, and genetic response of Saflager S-23. The applied voltage (15 and 30 V) in the electrostatic fermentation system increased the growth and substrate utilization of while decreasing ethanol production.

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).

Evaluation of the Insecticidal Potential of Acetonic and Methanolic Extracts against and Their Ecotoxicological Effect on .

For the management of , botanical extracts have been used to reduce the environmental impacts of synthetic chemical pesticides. In the present investigation, the insecticidal activity of the acetonic and methanolic extracts of (Asteraceae) and of the main compound 7-hydroxy-3,4-dihydrocadalene on this pest as well as its ecotoxicological effect on were evaluated. A greater insecticidal response was obtained from the acetonic extracts than from the methanolic extracts, with LC values of 730.
