Cell-in-Bead-in-Droplet Platform for pH-Based Microfluidic Screening of Ureolytic Bacteria. [PDF]

Small
Efficient high‐throughput microbial screening in droplet microfluidics is often challenged by chemical crosstalk between droplets. This is particularly difficult in pH‐changing biological processes, for which more effective biochemical assays are needed.

Bioprospecting Microbial Consortia for Tebuthiuron Degradation in Agricultural Soils: An Alternative Bayesian-Driven Colorimetric Protocol. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Microbial consortia from sugarcane soils, particularly ratoon cane environments, showed tebuthiuron‐degrading potential. Bayesian factor estimation of kernel density curves based on logarithmic response ratios enabled interpretation of non‐sigmoidal spectrophotometric data, revealing native microbiota's bioremediation capacity and offering a novel ...

Discovering PETases: An Interlink Between Engineering Enzymes and Microbiomes. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
In this review‐type article, we discuss some recent trends in the identification of polyethylene terephthalate‐degrading enzymes (PETases) from nature. We highlight that the discovery of novel PETases can be improved by an interlink between reshaping microbiomes and engineering proteins.

<i>In Silico</i> Bioprospection of <i>Daniellia oliveri-</i>Based Products as Quorum Sensing Modulators of <i>Escherichia coli</i> SdiA. [PDF]

Biochem Res Int
Escherichia coli is a common pathogen responsible for various gut‐related infections, and it utilizes the SdiA‐mediated quorum sensing (QS) system to regulate biofilm formation, other virulence factors, and pathogenicity. With rising antibiotic resistance, there is a pressing need to discover alternative QS inhibitors (QSIs) targeting SdiA.

Antimicrobial potential of extracts from leaves and culms of an Amazonian native bamboo [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023
Antibiotics have shown less efficiency against resistance of pathogenic microorganisms. As a result, research centers have sought therapeutic alternatives against multidrug resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, one of which is using plant extracts ...

Comparison of Near Infrared Spectra of Three Lichen Substances and Several Common Synthetic Organic Sunscreens. [PDF]

J Cosmet Dermatol
ABSTRACT Background Near‐infrared (NIR) and UV radiation have been reported to alter skin physiology, causing oxidative stress, mitochondrial genetic damage, and potentially leading to cancer and photoageing. NIR screening is recommended, but only inorganic sunscreens such as zinc and titanium oxide are known to absorb, reflect, and scatter NIR ...

Bioprospecting Marine Plankton [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2013
The ocean dominates the surface of our planet and plays a major role in regulating the biosphere. For example, the microscopic photosynthetic organisms living within provide 50% of the oxygen we breathe, and much of our food and mineral resources are extracted from the ocean.

Ecology and bioprospecting [PDF]

Austral Ecology, 2010
AbstractBioprospecting is the exploration of biodiversity for new resources of social and commercial value. It is carried out by a wide range of established industries such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and agriculture as well as a wide range of comparatively new ones such as aquaculture, bioremediation, biomining, biomimetic engineering and ...
