Antibacterial Properties of Peptide and Protein Fractions from the Cornu aspersum Mucus

Molecules
The study of biologically active substances from natural sources shows the prospect of obtaining a new type of antimicrobial agents, highly effective against pathogenic microorganisms and non-toxic to humans. Our study reveals for the first time that Cornu aspersum mucus has the potential to act as a source of antibacterial agents against bacterial ...

The effects of loose, firm, fine, and coarse substrates on the movement of the red flour beetle

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 662-674, April 2025.
The study focused on the impact of substrate roughness on movement properties, utilizing the red flour beetle as a model organism. Findings revealed significant variations in movement behavior between rough and smooth substrates, with beetles traveling longer distances on smooth surfaces compared to sandpaper and loose sand.
