Temperature, Salinity and Garlic Additive Shape the Microbial Community during Traditional Beetroot Fermentation Process.

Plant-based traditional fermented products are attracting a lot of interest in global markets. An example of them is beetroot leaven, which is valued for its high bioactive compound content. The variety of production recipes and the spontaneous nature of red beet fermentation favor its high diversity.

Optimization and Modeling of AD119 Growth and 1,3-Propanediol Production Using Two-Step Statistical Experimental Design and Artificial Neural Networks.

1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) has a wide range of industrial applications. The most studied natural producers capable of fermenting glycerol to 1,3-PD belong to the genera , , and . In this study, the optimization of medium composition for the biosynthesis of 1,3-PD by AD119 was performed using the one-factor-at-a-time method (OFAT) and a two-step statistical experimental design.

Influence of the Polymerization Modes on the Methacrylic Acid Release from Dental Light-Cured Materials-In Vitro Study.

The study focuses on the problem of lowering the pH around a composite filling concerning the polymerization modes and methacrylic acid release, which may affect not only the oral health but also the whole organism. A total of 90 specimens (30 of each: Filtek Bulk Fill, Evetric and Riva LC) were placed in 90 sterile hermetic polyethene containers with saline and incubated at 37 °C. Ten samples of each material were light-cured for 40 s with one of the three curing modes: full power mode (FPM), ramping mode (RM) and pulse mode (PM).
