Creating a novel genetic diversity of by γ-radiation for xylanase-cellulase production.

Creating novel sources of a microbial strain using induced mutation can increase enzyme production for industrial use. According to this, we have developed a mutant strain of by Co gamma irradiation. mutants were isolated from an optimum dose of 250 Gy.

Soil microbial improvement using enriched vinasse as a new abundant waste.

This study proposes the use of vinasse, an inexpensive and readily available waste biopolymer, as a fundamental component of a waste culture medium that can enhance the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of the microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) method for sustainable soil improvement. Vinasse enriched with urea, sodium caseinate, or whey protein concentrate is employed to optimize bacterial growth and urease activity of Sporosarcina pasteurii (S. pasteurii) bacterium.

Antioxidant and antimicrobial efficacy of microencapsulated mustard essential oil against Escherichia coli and Salmonella Enteritidis in mayonnaise.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pure and encapsulated mustard essential oil (MEO) on the shelf life of mayonnaise and its ability to be an alternative for synthetic preservatives. Determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) indicated higher sensitivity of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) (MIC: 512 ppm, MBC: 1024 ppm) than Salmonella Enteritidis (S.

Crude Turmeric Extract Improves the Suppressive Effects of GG on Allergic Inflammation in a Murine Model of House Dust Mite-Induced Asthma.

There is a strong correlation between dysregulation of the gastrointestinal microbiota and development of allergic diseases. The most prevalent therapies for relieving asthma symptoms are associated with serious side effects, and therefore novel approaches are needed. Our objective was to elucidate whether oral administration of GG (LGG) as a probiotic or turmeric powder (TP) as a prebiotic or both as a synbiotic mitigate allergic inflammation including lung function, airway inflammatory cell infiltration, Th2 cytokines/chemokine in a murine model of house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma.

Effect of Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) microencapsulated in alginate and whey protein concentrate addition on physicochemical and organoleptic properties of functional stirred yogurt.

Background: Consumption of Spirulina-based functionalized food is usually unpleasant due to its specific sensorial properties. Therefore, Spirulina was encapsulated using alginate and whey protein concentrate (WPC) by emulsification method, and the effect of adding free and microencapsulated Spirulina (MS) to non-fat stirred yogurt was investigated during storage.

Results: Scanning electron microscope investigated microcapsules morphology and their mean particle size that was 52 μm, and electrostatic interaction between wall materials was illustrated by Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy.
