When people take antibiotics, some of the dose is excreted with urine and feces and ends up in our wastewater. The presence ...

Bacteriocins are bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides with narrow or broad host ranges. Many bacteriocins are produced by food-grade lactic acid bacteria, a phenomenon which offers food ...

A single β-lactam exposure rapidly drives stable multidrug resistance in RecA-deficient bacteria through an SOS-independent mechanism involving oxidative stress-induced mutagenesis and ...

We report the development and proof-of-concept of a microfluidic chip, that provides a full range of pretreatment steps for the point-of-care detection of bacteria with a total process time of less ...

Aminoglycosides (AGs) constitute a major family of potent and broad-spectrum antibiotics disturbing protein synthesis through binding to the A site of 16S rRNA. Decades of widespread clinical use of ...

Green orange is one of the world’s largest fruit crops, with a global production of millions of tons. (36) A large portion of this production is used to extract citrus juice, which leads to vast ...

Postbiotics are beneficial compounds created by probiotic bacteria when they ferment prebiotics (fiber). Learn about their ...

Bacteria can precisely adjust their membrane lipid compositions to control the biophysical properties of their membranes, which allows them to thrive in various physical environments. Here ...

Key words: GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid), microorganisms, optimal conditions, lactic acid bacteria, GABA-enriched food. INTRODUCTION GABA (γ -aminobutyric acid) is a non-protein amino acid that is widely ...

However, research mainly focused on Gram‐negative bacteria, e.g. E. coli, P. aeruginosa and S. enterica ser. Typhimurium, and little is known about the mechanisms and influence of bacterial ...

The antimicrobial activity of phloretin has been studied and variable results have been reported on different microbial species. As early as 1952, MacDonald & Bishop (1952) reported that phloretin ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science (IMS)/SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in cyanobacteria ...
