Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.

Beyond Chemical Compliance: A Critical Review Toward Microbiome‐Informed Ecological Exit Criteria for Bioremediated Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical compliance remains the usual endpoint for closing contaminated‐soil remediation projects, although it does not establish recovery of soil function or the durability of the post‐treatment state. This critical review examines when microbiological evidence can contribute to ecological closure decisions.

Towards a monitoring tool to quantify urease during biocementation treatment at microscale [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Biocementation consists in using urease enzyme and a solution rich in urea and in calcium to precipitate calcium carbonate (biocement). When applying this treatment in soils, the biocement minerals bond the grains improving overall soil’s hydro ...

Optimized Fertilization Balances Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency: Evidence From Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment

Mechanism of Combined Improvement of Saline‐Alkali Soil by Artificial Humic Acid and Microbial Inoculant

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To address the widespread constraints imposed by saline‐alkaline soils on agricultural production worldwide, the combined reclamation and carbon cycle regulation effects of artificial humic acid (AHA) and a multifunctional microbial inoculant were evaluated through pot experiments. Results demonstrated that co‐application of AHA (4 g·kg−1) and

Hydroxamic Acids Designed as Inhibitors of Urease

, 2009
Urease is an enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbamate. Humans infected by urease are exposed to a risk of chronic gastritis or cancer.

Gramine Suppresses Myofibroblast Activation and ECM Accumulation in Renal Fibrosis by Targeting the NF‐κB/NLRP3 and TGF‐β1/Smad Pathways

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is driven by persistent inflammation and progressive fibrosis, leading to irreversible renal damage. Gramine (GMN), an indole alkaloid, has broad pharmacological benefits. However, its therapeutic potential against renal fibrosis remains unexplored.

Evolution of Macromolecular Docking Techniques: The Case Study of Nickel and Iron Metabolism in Pathogenic Bacteria

Molecules, 2015
The interaction between macromolecules is a fundamental aspect of most biological processes. The computational techniques used to study protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions have evolved in the last few years because of the development of
