Microbial mediated, especially the fungi mediated asymmetric reduction of ketone is one most promising tools for synthesis chiral alcohols. Many fungal cultures were isolated from soil and screened stereo selective bioreduction acetophenone. The potential isolates are characterised using molecular techniques found to be Penicillium rubens VIT SS1 (Genbank ID: MK063869) citrinum SS2 MW960208). B...

Biological control agents are a promising substitute for chemical pesticides in agricultural pest management. In this study, Penicillium sp. with high pathogenicity to the pests oriental leafworm moth (Spodoptera litura) and diamondback (Plutella xylostella) were isolated from naturally infected insects grown on different residues as an inexpensive substrate their sporulation. Ten strains of (P...

Abstract This study was designed to investigate chemical and antioxidant properties, as well the antimicrobial antibiofilm behaviour of Cinnamomum cassia essential oil (CCEO). MALDI-TOF MS Biotyper mass spectrometry applied evaluate biofilms Stenotrophonomonas maltophilia Bacillus subtilis , while ability CCEO assessed on wooden glass surfaces. The activity by disc diffusion method, microdiluti...

Mycotoxins are low-molecular-weight natural products. That is produced as secondary metabolites by filamentous fungi. Assessment of mycotoxin producing fungi isolated from dried tomatoes chips sold in Keffi, Nigeria. Fungi species were using standard microbiological methods. Sixty (60) dry purchased 5 different shops Keffi market. The percentage occurrence was 73.3 %. highest new market 13(86.6...
