Degradation of crude oil and pure hydrocarbon fractions by some wild bacterial and fungal species [PDF]
The use of biodegradation as a method for cleaning up soil that has been contaminated by spilt petroleum can be an effective strategy. So, this study investigated the existence of the wild microorganism in soil contaminated with oil and study their ability to degrade petroleum in vitro.

This study explores the effectiveness of essential oils in controlling postharvest phytopathogenic fungi for fruits and vegetables revealing how essential oils could offer sustainable solutions for reducing fungal contamination. By testing various oils in two methods, we identify Origanum vulgare, Syzygium aromaticum, and Cymbopogon citratus as potent ...

Nitrification by Aflatoxigenic Strains of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus [PDF]
Summary: Four toxigenic strains each of Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus were grown in Schmid peptone--glucose medium to determine their ability to carry out nitrification and in a yeast extract--sucrose (YES) medium to test their toxigenicity. Two nitrifying strains each of A. flavus and A.

An investigation into the transcription factors and regulatory mechanisms of Aspergillus
Foodborne pathogen Aspergillus, a prevalent etiologic agent among filamentous fungi, are distinguished by a significant repertoire of transcription factors encoded within their genomes. These regulatory proteins are instrumental in orchestrating key biological processes, including cellular growth, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, mycotoxin production,
