Deoxynivalenol (DON) is an important Fusarium mycotoxin commonly detected in foods and feeds, which has drawn global attention because of its high contamination level frequency. Applying microbial antagonists to inhibit fungal DON synthesis detoxification into low toxic metabolites are biological approaches eliminate via environment friendly manner. Therefore, it essential review the latest res...

Decontamination, i.e. cleaning by removal of chemicals or germs, is a term commonly used for the process of treating devices, instruments and surfaces in order to ensure their safe operation. It is of exceptional importance in healthcare, food and pharmaceutical industry as well as in the areas of army and public defense. The decontamination process covers several steps like simple washing with...

Objectives Periodontal diseases are one of the common oral diseases and microbial oral flora is one major factor responsible for it. Elimination of periodontal pathogens is particularly important in managing the periodontal state. This study aimed to assess the antibacterial effects of Nanosil, chlorhexidine (CHX) and probiotic mouthwashes on periodontal pathogens. Methods In this in-vitro stu...

Microorganisms do play in pulpal and periapical infection. Success of endodontic treatment aims at effective eradication bacteria from the root canal space. This, turn, prevents further microbial recolonization. Persistent colonies lead to failure treatment. With advent photodynamic therapy (PDT), a novel invasive approach is aimed complete disinfection with elimination bacteria. Therefore, thi...

The removal of hydrophobic pollutants in biofilters is often limited by gas liquid mass transfer to the biotic aqueous phase where biodegradation occurs. It has been proposed that the use of fungi may improve their removal efficiency. To confirm this, the uptake of hexane vapors was investigated in 2.6-L perlite-packed biofilters, inoculated with a mixed culture containing bacteria and fungi, w...

The incidence of celiac disease is increasing worldwide, and human tissue transglutaminase has long been considered the autoantigen of celiac disease. Concomitantly, the food industry has introduced ingredients such as microbial transglutaminase, which acts as a food glue, thereby revolutionizing food qualities. Several observations have led to the hypothesis that microbial transglutaminase is ...
