This study was aimed to measure the impact of the application of a bio-fungicide against Botrytis cinerea on the microbiota involved in the alcoholic fermentation (AF) of Tempranillo Rioja wines. For this purpose, a bio-fungicide composed of the biological control bacterium Bacillus subtilis QST713 was applied to the vineyard. The microbial diversity was analyzed from grape biofilm to wine. Imp...

A biotinylated nucleotide analog containing a disulfide bond in the 12-atom linker joining biotin to the C-5 of the pyrimidine ring has been synthesized. This analog, Bio-SS-dUTP, is an efficient substrate for Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I. Bio-SS-dUTP supported DNA synthesis in a standard nick-translation reaction at 35%-40% the rate of an equal concentration of the normal nucleotide, TTP....

In the present study, bio reduction of hexavalent Chromium, a transition metal, known for its high solubility and carcinogenicity, using a sewage isolate was tested under controlled laboratory conditions. The objective of the study included determination of the extent of bio degradation of Cr[VI] by the isolate, characterization of the isolate and testing the degradation potential of the isolat...

The concept of bioavailability enhancer is new to the modern system of medicine. Basically, this concept originated in Ayurveda and being used in this system of medicine since centuries. Bio-enhancers augment the bioavailability or biological activity of drugs when co-administered with principal drug at low doses. Ayurveda is using several drugs such as Piper longum Linn., Zingiber officinale R...

The co-production of bio-char and upgraded bio-oil by fast pyrolysis raw sulfuric-acid pretreated agro-industrial wastes (corn cob, sugarcane bagasse sunflower seed hull) was investigated to valorize as sources value-added products (VAPs) following the circular bio-economy system. To this end, proximate elemental analyses were performed, adsorption properties determined in products. Bio-char yi...

The trends in the current developments for utilising available natural resources as bio-renewable/sustainable supplies have captured attention of scientists/industrialists recent past. unlimited alarms that are interrelated with health and environment due to exhaustive piling up unwanted discarded stocks damages caused, indirectly interwound foreseeable reduction fossil/mineral wealth. hence, o...

The catalytic properties of various metal nanoparticles have led to their use in environmental remediation. Our aim is to develop and apply an efficient bioremediation method based on in situ biosynthesis of bio-Pd nanoparticles and hydrogen. C. pasteurianum BC1 was used to reduce Pd(II) ions to form Pd nanoparticles (bio-Pd) that primarily precipitated on the cell wall and in the cytoplasm. C....

This study utilized three-dimensional micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to evaluate the regenerative response to Bio-Oss Collagen when used alone or in combination with a Bio-Gide bilayer collagen membrane for the treatment of four intrabony defects (5 to 7 mm) around single-rooted teeth. The micro-CT observations are compared to the clinical, radiographic, and histologic results, which have...
