Article Synopsis
- A new, eco-friendly method was developed to create a microporous material from chemically modified bentonite with silver ions (BN-Ag), showing strong catalytic activity against Malachite Green dye and antibacterial effects against a newly isolated Gram-negative bacterium.
- Various characterization techniques, including EDX, SEM, and FTIR, confirmed the properties of BN-Ag, highlighting its effectiveness as a catalyst in improving the oxidation process of the dye due to its enhanced adsorption and catalytic capabilities.
- The study also evaluated the lifespan of the BN-Ag catalyst and aimed to provide insights for creating multifunctional microporous materials with significant applications in waste treatment and antibacterial solutions.
This work assesses the effect of essential oil on germination of spores inoculated in orange juice and milk. We also report the capacity of the essential oil at 0.25, 0.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe use of essential oils as a food preservative has increased due to their capacity to inhibit vegetative growth of some bacteria. However, only limited data are available on their effect on bacterial spores. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of some essential oils on the growth and germination of three Bacillus species and Geobacillus stearothermophilus.
