  1. Conversion of Agroindustrial Wastes to Rhamnolipid by Enterobacter sp. UJS-RC and Its Role against Biofilm-Forming Foodborne Pathogens

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Rhamnolipid is the main group of biosurfactants predominantly produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous and opportunistic pathogen, which limits its large-scale exploitation. Thus, cost-effective rhamnolipid production from a newly isolated nonpathogenic Enterobacter sp. UJS-RC was investigated. The highest rhamnolipid production (4.4 ± 0.2 g/L) was achieved in a medium constituting agroindustrial wastes (sugarcane molasses and corn steep liquor) as substrates.

  2. Growth performance, non‐specific immunity and Vibrio parahaemolyticus resistance of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei, in response to various microbial‐derived additives

    • Aquaculture Nutrition

    • A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various microbial‐derived additives on the growth performance, non‐specific immunity and disease resistance of Litopenaeus vannamei. Shrimp were fed diets supplemented with 5 g/kg multi‐species probiotic (MSP), 5 g/kg dried lactic acid bacteria fermentate (LF), 5 g/kg dried yeast fermentate (YF), 7.5 g/kg cell wall‐broken yeast extract (BY), 5 g/kg multi‐enzyme preparation (MEP), or 50 g/kg complex probiotics and enzyme (CPE).

  8. Cranberry Extract for Symptoms of acute, Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infection: A Systematic Review

    • Antibiotics

    • Effective alternatives to antibiotics for alleviating symptoms of acute infections may be appealing to patients and enhance antimicrobial stewardship. Cranberry-based products are already in wide use for symptoms of acute urinary tract infection (UTI). The aim of this review was to identify and critically appraise the supporting evidence. Methods: The protocol was registered on PROSPERO.

  9. Structural Variability, Expression Profile, and Pharmacogenetic Properties of TMPRSS2 Gene as a Potential Target for COVID-19 Therapy

    • Genes

    • The human serine protease serine 2 TMPRSS2 is involved in the priming of proteins of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and represents a possible target for COVID-19 therapy. The TMPRSS2 gene may be co-expressed with SARS-CoV-2 cell receptor genes angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and Basigin (BSG), but only TMPRSS2 demonstrates tissue-specific expression in alveolar cells according to single-cell RNA sequencing data.

  25. Impact of Unadorned Carbon Nitride on Photodegradation and Bioavailability of Multifungicides in the Environment

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Unadorned carbon nitride was synthesized via different nitrogen-rich precursors by thermal polymerization and applied to multifungicides for simultaneous photodegradation in the present study. Urea-derived carbon nitride (UCN) was verified to be most efficient in fungicide removal. The influences of catalyst dosage and pH were studied during the photodegradation process.
