there is a long period between harvested beets and their transfer to the sugar factory. sugar beet crop is damaged and injured during harvest and transport which provides a suitable place for various saccharoliytic microorganisms growth in terms of temperature, moisture, ph and glucose concentration. in this study, samples were randomly selected from the roots stored in spring 2010 and also the...

Introduction: The presence of pathogenic microbial agents and pathogens in organic fertilizers causes health problems and disease transmission. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of vermicomposting process in improve the microbial quality of the compost produced. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted as a pilot-scale one, in the laboratory of school of...

silver has been known and used as a potent antimicrobial and wound healing agent since ancient time. silver compounds have had other ancient applications through which greeks, romans and egyptians had used silver compounds as food and water preservative. silver and silver-based antimicrobials were put away after the discovery of antibiotics. meanwhile, with almost a century application of antib...

background: date is one of the foodstuff s that are produced in tropical areas and used worldwide. conventionally, methyl bromide and phosphine are used for date disinfection. the toxic side effects of these usual disinfectants have led food scientists to consider safer agents such as ozone for disinfection, because food safety is a top priority. the present study was performed to investigate t...

an important part of plant in vitro techniques is the sterilization of explants and the maintenance of aseptic conditions. ideally, sterilizing materials should be effective on a vast range of microorganisms at low density. nowadays, the use of compounds such as essential oils (eos) and nanoparticles is applicable in microbiology studies. the main objective of this experiment was to study the s...

Recent developments on antimicrobial quinoline chemistry were shortly reviewed covering six important topics: Historical aspects of the quinoline-based antimicrobial drug development; Increasing resistance problems and reasons for developing new antimicrobial agents; Molecular quinoline-based hybrids in the design and development of novel antimicrobial agents; Structural evolution of the quinol...
