BACKGROUND Kombucha, a fermented tea (KT) is claimed to possess many beneficial properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and histopathological alterations of Kombucha tea and Nitrofurazone on cutaneous full-thickness wounds healing in rat. METHODS In present study 24 Wister -albino rats weighing 150-200 g were selected and divided to two treatment groups as Nitrofurazone oin...

Kombucha is a refreshing beverage obtained by the fermentation of sugared tea with a symbiotic culture of acetic bacteria and fungi, consumed for its bene®cial e€ects on human health. Research conducted in Russia at the beginning of the century and testimony indicate that Kombucha can improve resistance against cancer, prevent cardiovascular diseases, promote digestive functions, stimulate the ...

backgrounds and objective: kombucha is a several thousand years old traditional fermented beverage originated from east. while black tea infusion is the common substrate for preparing kombucha, other herbal infusions can be applied for this reason too. common medicinal herbs or even waste herbal materials, like banana peel, could be suitable substrates for preparing kombucha analogues. in this ...

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Komagatabaeicter rhaeticus strain AF1, which was isolated from Kombucha tea and is capable of producing high levels of cellulose.

Green tea kombucha made of sugar and single yeast was investigated for its antimicrobial activity and composition changes during fermentation. Individual and total tea polyphenols, caffeine, sucrose, reducing sugar, total sugar, pH, acetic acid and total acids, ethanol concentration, superoxide dismutase and hexokinase activities, yeast yield and antimicrobial activity were measured systematica...

Kombucha Tea Ferment (KT), was given to male albino rats, (1ml/Kg of body weight), via gavages, during 2 weeks before intraperitoneal administration of 3.5 mg/Kg body weight CdCl2 and/or whole body γ-irradiation with 4Gy, and during 4 weeks after each treatment. Hepatic and nephritic pathological changes included significant increases of serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase ...

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Komagataeibacter intermedius strain AF2, which was isolated from Kombucha tea and is capable of producing cellulose, although at lower levels compared to another bacterium from the same environment, K. rhaeticus strain AF1.

Kombucha Scoby is a colony consisted from bacteria, yeast and cellulosic pellicle that present fantastic performances in various fields. Besides anti-toxicity and antimicrobial specifications of Kombucha scoby, this unique colony can be used for waste water treatment and removal of heavy metals. Herein, efficiency of graphene oxide/Fe3O4 nanoparticles (GO/Fe3O4) and Kombucha Scoby in the remova...
