conglomeration of an array of well established fields, such as microbial genomics, phylogenetics, forensic informatics and classical microbiology. Unlike public health investigations, microbial forensic investigation goes further to associate the source of the causative agent with a specific individual or group. Microbial forensics will be most effective if there is sufficient basic scientific ...

Silver nano-particles (AgNPs) are widely used in a range of consumer products as a result of their antimicrobial properties. Given the broad spectrum of uses, AgNPs have the potential for being released to the environment. As a result, environmental risks associated with AgNPs need to be assessed to aid in the development of regulatory guidelines. Research was performed to assess the effects of...

In 125 years since Metchnikoff proposed the use of Metarhizium anisopliae to control the wheat cockchafer and brought about the first field trials, microbial control has progressed from the application of naturalists' observations to biotechnology and precision delivery. This review highlights major milestones in its evolution and presents a perspective on its current direction. Fungal pathogen...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) typically called Methi is an annual herb belonging to own circle of relatives Fabaceae. It decreases the bad cholesterol stage reduces frame weight through lowering plasma triglycerides tri glycerides. thought have hypocholesterolemic, antioxidant potency, digestive stimulant movement, and hepatoprotective effect. anticarcinogenic, antioxidant, antibacteria...

Concrete is the most widely used material in civil engineering, but due to its inherent brittleness, generation of cracks easily occurs. Crack healing an effective method for restoring mechanical properties concrete and improving durability. Of all current crack methods, microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation technology incredibly promising self-healing strategy that has received wid...

noroviruses (novs), an important pathogenic agent of foodborne illness, lead to acute and chronic gastroenteritis in humans of all ages and to travelers’ diarrhea. many genotypes exist in nature; gii.4 is widely known as the most predominant. outbreaks mostly occur in semi-closed settings. although the disease is self-limited to person, many cases have resulted in death, which has raised more c...

The authors present an agent-based stochastic simulation model of NOM transformations and its implementation using Java/Swarm. An autonomic self-manageable infrastructure is designed to facilitate remote invocation of simulations, analysis and reports of the resulting large simulation datasets. The NOM simulation system may be useful in many areas including chemistry, geology, microbial ecology...

background: saffron, the dried stigmas of crocus sativus, is the world's most expensive spice which has been used as food additive and flavoring agent. the aim of the present study has been to investigate the combination effects of gamma irradiation and silver nano particles packing on the chemical properties of saffron during storage time. a combination of hurdles can ensure stability and...

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in edible agricultural products, especially crops, has raised worldwide concerns regarding food safety consumption. This review summarizes the current knowledge of applicable methods and perspectives for reducing Cd products. Agricultural approaches soil amendments, irrigation management, microbial agent, cropping patterns were systematically concluded to illustrate d...
