The Impact of Essential Oils From Aromatic Plants on Microbial Dynamics and Nutrition in Lacto‐Fermented Systems

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
Bioactive compounds found in essential oils (EOs), which are obtained by distilling certain plants, have been shown to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms and also support the growth of probiotic bacteria. In this context, EO nutraceuticals have properties that can improve the shelf life and sensory properties of products.

A Multi-Analytical Approach to Infer Mineral–Microbial Interactions Applied to Petroglyph Sites in the Negev Desert of Israel

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Petroglyph sites exist all over the world. They are one of the earliest forms of mankind’s expression and a precursor to art. Despite their outstanding value, comprehensive research on conservation and preservation of rock art is minimal, especially as ...

Development of Optimized Bioactive Nanocomposite Films Using a Central Composite Design for Control of Microbial Contamination in Stored Rice

open access: yesJournal of Food Science, Volume 90, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) and polylactic acid (PLA)‐based nanocomposite films were developed as active packaging materials for stored rice. The composition and synergistic effect of the active formulations (AF‐1 and AF‐2), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and glycerol (Gly) as independent variables were tested to reach the ...

Functional Characterisation of Microbial Communities Related to Black Stain Formation in Lascaux Cave

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
Excessive anthropization can lead to black stain alterations on cave walls. The present work reports the first metagenomic analysis of black stains threatening artwork in Lascaux Cave. Findings show new microbial taxa and genetic potential associated with black stains.

Biocidal Activity of Phyto-Derivative Products Used on Phototrophic Biofilms Growing on Stone Surfaces of the Domus Aurea in Rome (Italy)

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Hypogean or enclosed monuments are important cultural heritage sites that can suffer biodegradation. Many of the stone walls of the prestigious Domus Aurea are overwhelmed by dense biofilms and so need intervention.

Investigating the Atmospheric Microbial Ecosystem Through Theory, Bioenergetics, and Numerical Modeling: A Breath of Fresh Air for Aeromicrobiology

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The atmosphere may constitute the Earth's largest microbial ecosystem, yet it remains the least understood. While microorganisms can persist and may even thrive in the polyextremes of the Earth's atmosphere, it is still unknown whether the atmosphere sustains an active microbial community.
