Microbial bioremediation of feather wastes and eco-friendly production of keratinase and collagenase enzymes by Didymella keratinophila, the first-recorded fungus from Assiut, Egypt

, 2022
Abstract During a routine examination of Coelomycetes isolated from various fruit juices in Assiut Governorate, Egypt, a unique isolate was discovered and visually identified as a Didymella member. The fungus was confirmed as Didymella keratinophila based on sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS), since it had 100% identity to the ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
