Surfactant Enhanced Bioremediation of Saline Diesel Contaminated Water by a Novel Bacterial Halophilic Consortium

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of microorganisms is an evolving method for the degradation of hydrocarbon contaminants. In this aim, halophilic hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were isolated from oil contaminated soil in Tunisia. A lipopeptide biosurfactant produced by Bacillus subtilis SPB1 was tested to increase diesel biodegradation along with co‐inoculation with ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

In Vitro Bactericidal Activity of a Neomycin-Polymyxin B-Nystatin Combination Compared to Metronidazole and Clindamycin Against the Main Bacteria Involved in Bacterial Vaginosis and Aerobic Vaginitis

Pharmaceuticals
Background/Objectives: Aerobic vaginitis (AV) and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are vaginal infections requiring the fast elimination of pathogens. The frequent confusion of these infections may justify the use of a rapidly acting broad-spectrum antibiotic ...

Punicalagin‐enriched edible coatings from revalorized pomegranate peels for quality enhancement of fresh‐cut celery

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Pomegranate peel is a rich source of phenolics, particularly punicalagin, but its valorization for fresh produce preservation requires stabilization. This study aimed to develop and evaluate freeze‐dried encapsulates of pomegranate peel extracts as ingredients in edible coatings for fresh‐cut celery. Pomegranate peels were extracted

Degradation kinetics of postharvest quality attributes of rocket leaves grown under different nitrogen rates

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diplotaxis tenuifolia L. cv Dallas (rocket leaves) is one of the most widely consumed fresh‐cut salad vegetables in Europe, especially in southern Italy, being appreciated for its pungent taste and health promoting phytochemicals. However, its short postharvest shelf‐life is still a major drawback.
