Environmental pollution removal using electrostimulation of microorganisms by alternative current.

The entrance of some toxic and hazardous chemical agents such as antibiotics, pesticides, and herbicides into the environment can cause various problems to human health and the environment. In recent years, researchers have considered the use of electrostimulation in the processes of microbial metabolism and biological systems for the treatment of pollutants in the environment. Although several electrostimulation reports have been presented for pollutant removal, little attention has been paid to alternative current (AC) biostimulation.

Modelling and optimisation of electrocoagulation/flocculation recovery of effluent from land-based aquaculture by artificial intelligence (AI) approaches.

This study examined the modelling and optimisation of the electrocoagulation-flocculation (ECF) recovery of aquaculture effluent (AQE) using aluminium electrodes. The response surface methodology (RSM), artificial neural network (ANN), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were used for the modelling, while the optimisation tools were the numerical RSM and genetic algorithm (GA). Furthermore, the kinetics of the ECF process was studied to provide insight into the mechanism governing the ECF of AQE.

Biogenic amine production from processed animal and plant protein-based foods contaminated with and .

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to investigate biogenic amine production in different types of cooked protein foods. The food samples were incubated at varying temperatures (4, 37 and 55 °C) on different microbiological media for 48, 72 and 180 h. Resulting bacteria were isolated and characterized using cultural, biochemical and molecular methods, further screened for production of biogenic amines in decarboxylase broth media supplemented with 0.

Propolis efficacy on SARS-COV viruses: a review on antimicrobial activities and molecular simulations.

This current study review provides a brief review of a natural bee product known as propolis and its relevance toward combating SARS-CoV viruses. Propolis has been utilized in medicinal products for centuries due to its excellent biological properties. These include anti-oxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and bactericidal activities.
