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 ...

Practically, SeNP biosynthesis was performed on different bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, (25) Bacillus subtilis, (26) and probiotic lactic acid bacteria.

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

The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Synthesis of GABA is catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase, therefore, the optimal fermentation condition is mainly based on the biochemical properties of the enzyme. Major GABA producing ...

In Pseudomonas aeruginosa for example, antimicrobial substances such as triclosan, which inhibit fatty acid synthesis by targeting the enoyl‐ACP reductase, are ineffective, as the bacteria carry an ...

The potential antibacterial mechanisms were determined by permeability and integrity of cell membrane, ATP content, key metabolic enzymes activity, intracellular protein content as well as nucleic ...

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.
