Microscopic and qPCR comparison of fungal growth in residential carpets with different carpet fiber materials, at varying relative humidity levels, and presence of household dust [PDF]
, 2018 People spend 90% of their time indoors exposed to the microbiome of the built environment. Fungal species are part of this indoor microbiome that have been found to grow on various components of residential homes including house dust, wallpaper, gypsum ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Plastic mulching and fungicides are frequently applied agricultural practices in strawberry cultivation, which may have an impact on the structure and function of the soil microbiome. Aim To understand their combined effects on soil quality, this study investigated the impact of the fungicides fenhexamid, cyprodinil, and fludioxonil

How Effective Are Cleaners With “Effective Microorganisms”?
Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbial‐based cleaning products containing active microorganisms, such as Bacillus spores and “Effective Microorganisms” (EM)—a blend of lactic acid bacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, and yeast—are marketed for their potential to clean and displace pathogens. This study evaluated the efficacy of EM‐based cleaners by analyzing their microbial

Modeling branching and chiral colonial patterning of lubricating bacteria
, 1998 In nature, microorganisms must often cope with hostile environmental conditions. To do so they have developed sophisticated cooperative behavior and intricate communication capabilities, such as: direct cell-cell physical interactions via extra-membrane ...

Antagonistic activity of two yeasts against Penicillium expansum in stone fruits
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Stone fruits are vulnerable to contamination by Penicillium expansum (PE), a patulin‐producing mould. The use of yeasts as biocontrol agents could be an effective strategy to combat this pathogen. This study evaluated the ability of Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 (L672) and Pichia kudriavzevii L40 (L40) as biocontrol strategies on ...

Active chitosan coating to inhibit decay and maintain mango postharvest quality
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Microbial decay limits the storage, quality and trade of mangoes (Mangifera indica). We developed an active chitosan coating containing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) and Eucalyptus radiata essential oil (EEO) to inhibit decay and preserve postharvest quality of mango. Chitosan (cationic) can disrupt microbial membranes; ZnO‐NPs
