in western countries there is a growing incidence in obesity, inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) and colorectal cancer (crc), which places an increasingly important burden on the health care system. in the current decade, changes in intestinal microflora (i.e., dysbiosis) are likely the result of environment factors such as food, lifestyle, and medications which have been shown in obesity and ibd...

the chemical composition, in situ ruminal degradability coefficients of dry matter (dm), and nutrient digestibility in sheep were evaluated for corn silage (cs) treated (fresh weight basis) with different levels of a commercial bacterial inoculant (i) as follows: (1) untreated cs (control); (2) cs + i at half of the recommended level; (3) cs + i at the recommended level (3  1010 colony forming...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Some microorganisms, mainly members of two genera including Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium, were found to be capable of transforming and degrading of polluting agents. We herein report the isolation of a few mycobacteria with the ability to biodegrade organic and inorganic compounds from water supplies of Iranian hospitals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The water samples were...

The study combined anaerobic composting of untreated rice straw with V-shaped microbial fuel cell (V-MFC) to investigate the hydrolysis of lignocellulose and electricity generation of V-MFC. Due to the configuration for V-MFC, protons that be generated by the process of lignocellulose degradation could be accumulated with composting liquid at the bottom of V-MFC, and increased the contact area ...

objectives: with side effects of antibiotics taken into consideration, the necessity of antibiotic therapy after simple implant placement procedures is still a subject of debate and the existing literature on this topic is widely controversial. the aim of this study was to assess the effect of postoperative amoxicillin therapy on early colonization of peri-implant sulcus after implant placement...

the antifungal potential of essential oils of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.), rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.), and laurel (laurus nobilis l.) was determined. to establish this antifungal potential, two molds related to feed spoilage, namely, aspergillus flavus and aspergillus parasiticus, were selected. the agar dilution method was employed for the determination of antifungal activities. the i...

Poultry slaughterhouse wastewater contains high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSSs), fats, oil and grease (FOG), proteins carbohydrates. It is important that the treated to acceptable environmental discharge standards. In this study, poultry (PSW) was using two-stage processes consisting a biological pre-treatment biodegrading agent (Eco-flushTM) couple...

Both inosine and guanosine are precursors of uric acid that may cause the diseases hyperuricemia gout in humans. Here, a promising bacterial strain for efficiently biodegrading both was successfully isolated from healthy human intestine identified as Bacillus paranthracis YD01 with 16S rRNA analysis. An initial amount 49.6 mg·L−1 or 49.9 completely removed by within 12 h, which showed had stron...

Throughout the history of pesticide regulation, laboratory studies on microbial metabolism have been conducted in continuous darkness. This was based on a presumption that the communities responsible for pesticide degradation are predominantly bacteria and fungi. However, conducting studies in this way excludes the potential contribution of phototrophic microorganisms (algae) which will be pres...
