Genome sequence data of sp. IMCC1007 isolated from maize rhizosphere: A potential strain in fusaric acid mycotoxin biodegradation.

sp. IMCC1007 is a gram-negative, aerobic bacterium affiliated with class Betaproteobacteria, which was successfully isolated from maize rhizospheric soil sample in UTM research plot, Pagoh, Malaysia by using enrichment method. Strain IMCC1007 utilized 50 mgL fusaric acid as its carbon source and degraded it completely within 14 h.

Potential of Burkholderia sp. IMCC1007 as a biodetoxification agent in mycotoxin biotransformation evaluated by mass spectrometry and phytotoxicity analysis.

Microbial degradation is considered as an attractive method to eliminate exposure to mycotoxin that cause a serious threat in agriculture global industry and severe human health problems. Compared with other more prominent mycotoxin compounds, fusaric acid (FA) biodegradation has not been widely investigated. In this study, a fusaric acid-degrading bacterium Burkholderia sp.

Phytochemistry, Bioactivities and Traditional Uses of .

() is a flowering tree best known for its essential oil, which has long been used as a fragrance ingredient for perfume and cosmetics. In addition, the plant has been used in traditional medicine in Asia and dates back hundreds of years. To date, there is a limited number of publications on the bioactivities of , which focused on its tyrosinase inhibition, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities.

An update on the ornamental fish industry in Malaysia: -associated disease and its treatment control.

Malaysia is the world's major producer and exporter of ornamental fish, contributing 9% to the global trade and taking the second position after Singapore. Because of their artistic appeal and tremendous commercial value for international trade, ornamental fish recently gain rapid importance for foreign exchange and as a source of employment. While ornamental fish production is growing, there is an increase in infectious diseases, resulting in high fish mortality with significant economic loss.

Semi-industrial Scale Production of a New Yeast with Probiotic Traits, Cryptococcus sp. YMHS, Isolated from the Red Sea.

A new yeast strain with promising probiotic traits was isolated from the Red Sea water samples. The isolate (YMHS) was subjected to genetic characterization and identified as Cryptococcus sp. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer regions showed 95% sequence similarity between the isolate and Cryptococcus albidus.

Bioprocess development for kefiran production by Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens in semi industrial scale bioreactor.

Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens is non-pathogenic gram positive bacteria isolated from kefir grains and able to produce extracellular exopolysaccharides named kefiran. This polysaccharide contains approximately equal amounts of glucose and galactose. Kefiran has wide applications in pharmaceutical industries.

Anaerobic Probiotics: The Key Microbes for Human Health.

Human gastrointestinal microbiota (HGIM) incorporate a large number of microbes from different species. Anaerobic bacteria are the dominant organisms in this microbial consortium and play a crucial role in human health. In addition to their functional role as the main source of many essential metabolites for human health, they are considered as biotherapeutic agents in the regulation of different human metabolites.
