Current rates of population growth require the development new agricultural strategies to feed world human and livestock. The massive use chemicals causes serious damage environment, animal health. For this reason, endophytic fungi represents a biological alternative in increasing productivity sustainable way. This group microorganisms, which inhabit plant tissues organs without causing symptom...

Both unicellular and filamentous cyanobacteria exhibit diverse types of motility, including the ability to move on surfaces and to swim in liquids. Motile behaviour can be regulated such that cyanobacteria can respond to important environmental signals such as light or chemical gradients. In some cases, components of the motility machinery, such as Type IV pili that allow certain unicellular sp...

The health and yield of grapes are affected by the microorganisms associated with grapevine. diversity present on wine grape varieties is well defined whereas, information table remains scarce. In study, culture-dependent method was used to isolate microbes surface commercial white seedless cultivar, Thompson Seedless at different stages berry development. microbial load increased as progressed...

European grapevine is a complex holobiont composed of two plant genomes, that the scion (Vitis vinifera L.) and rootstock spp.), multitude microbial genomes collectively form microbiome. The microbiome has been extensively described over last decade, primarily using metabarcoding approaches. Unfortunately, data alone provide little information on functions outcomes plant-microbe interactions. H...

Control of sludge bulking in an SBR-plant treating slaughterhouse wastewater Linda Jonsson In December 2003 the new plant treating slaughterhouse wastewater from KLS was taken into operation. Läckeby Water Group was entrepreneur and responsible for the maintenance during the following two years. The treatment plant is of SBR-type and has biological nitrate removal and chemical precipitation of ...

BACKGROUND In the activated sludge process, problems of filamentous bulking and foaming can occur due to overgrowth of certain filamentous bacteria. Nowadays, these microorganisms are typically monitored by means of light microscopy, commonly combined with staining techniques. As drawbacks, these methods are susceptible to human errors, subjectivity and limited by the use of discontinuous micro...

background the search for novel antibiotics continues to be of immense importance in research programs around the world for pharmaceutical, industrial and agricultural applications. filamentous soil bacteria, belonging to the streptomyces genus, are widely used as an important biological tool for their ability to produce a wide range of novel secondary metabolites, such as “antibiotics”. object...

Biorefineries are facilities in which lignocellulosic biomasses converted a wide range of bioproducts facilitating the transition from use petrochemical resources to renewable ones. Organic acids considered very attractive for their utilization different industrial areas as building blocks or final leading considerable market growth. They metabolites naturally produced by microbials. The produc...
