Hospital wastewater treated with a novel bacterial consortium (Alcaligenes faecalis and Bacillus paramycoides spp.) for phytotoxicity reduction in Berseem clover and tomato crops

Water Science and Technology, 2021
Hospital wastewaters are produced in large volumes in Pakistan (∼362–745 L/bed.day) and are discharged without proper treatment. They are widely used by farmers for crop irrigation and induce a phytotoxic effect on plant growth.

Polysaccharide Adjuvants as Innate Immune Trainers: Bridging Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR) Activation and Metabolic Reprogramming for Synthetic Vaccine Design

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 48, December 29, 2025.
Polysaccharides modulate immune responses by engaging pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to induce T‐cell activation. In vaccine design, their particle size critically influences lymph node targeting and activation mechanisms. By engineering structural complexity and multivalent PRR engagement, polysaccharides enable precise modulation of immune ...

Chitosan, Gelatin, Aloe vera, and Carvacrol Nanoemulsion–Based Edible Coatings: Effects on Physicochemical, Microbiological, and Sensory Qualities of Vacuum‐Packed Chicken Fillets

Food Bioengineering, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 612-627, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Chicken meat contains high‐quality protein and is prone to postharvest quality deterioration due to high moisture and lipid content. Thus, in this study, edible coatings were developed from natural biomaterials, that is, chitosan (CH), gelatin (GL), Aloe vera gel (AVG), and carvacrol nanoemulsion (CNE), and their effects on shelf life of ...

Compost mixed fruits and vegetable waste biochar with ACC deaminase rhizobacteria can minimize lead stress in mint plants

Scientific Reports, 2021
High lead (Pb) concentration in soils is becoming a severe threat to human health. It also deteriorates plants, growth, yield and quality of food. Although the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), biochar and compost can be effective ...
