S-layer protein isolated from Bacillus coagulans E38-66 could be recrystallized into large-scale coherent monolayers at an air/water interface and on phospholipid films spread on a Langmuir-Blodgett trough. Because of the asymmetry in the physiochemical surface properties of the S-layer protein, the subunits were associated with their more hydrophobic outer face with the air/water interface and...

Production of cellulosic ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass leads to the generation a hemicellulosic hydrolysate during feedstock pretreatment. This is rich in sugars, but also contains inhibitory compounds (mainly acetic acid and phenolic compounds) concentrations that may be toxic microbial growth. Currently, this side-stream production process processed as waste, due lack feasible alternat...


 1,3-Thiazole is one of the most attractive cores in heterocycles chemistry and drug discovery. Its widespread use diverse medicinal substances makes thiazole a versatile scaffold, which leads to novel generation efficient pharmaceuticals. This study was intended synthesize series N,N-disubstituted aminothiazole derivatives having various fragments at 4th 5th positions ring. The formation...

Kombucha is an acidic non-alcoholic fermented tea beverage that has surged in popularity over the past decade. A key driver of this perception kombucha contains microbes contribute to gut health, a reinforced by package claims such as “live” and “probiotic”. We surveyed retail-available (soft) alcoholic (hard) selected 39 products, which 74.4% included at least one these claims. Based upon Nucl...

To our knowledge and literature search, Staphylococcus schleiferi subspecies coagulans infection in human beings has rarely been described in the medical literature. Furthermore, we believe that this is a first detailed case report of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus schleiferi subspecies coagulans infection in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma. Because of the possible association of ...

The present investigation is focused on antibacterial potential of infusion, decoction and essential oil of oregano (Origanum vulgare) against 111 Gram-positive bacterial isolates belonging to 23 different species related to 3 genera. Infusion and essential oil exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus saprophyticus, S. aureus, Micrococcus roseus, M. kristinae, M. nishinomiyaensis...

Accurate enumeration of bacterial count in probiotic formulation is imperative to ensure that the product adheres to regulatory standards and citation in consumer product label. Standard methods like plate count, can enumerate only replicating bacterial population under selected culture conditions. Viable but non culturable bacteria (VBNC) retain characteristics of living cells and can regain c...
