Active edible packaging is a food made of comestible bioproducts and active compounds that interacts with the food. The bioproducts, usually biopolymers, must be recognized as safe characteristics to consumed by humans—comestible—and not toxic capable carrying an compound, like anti-browning agents, colorants, flavors, nutrients, antimicrobial and/or antioxidant compounds, in order extend produ...

Here we report the complete genomic sequence of the bacterium Arthrobacter sp. strain LS16, consisting of a single circular chromosome of 3.85 Mb with no identified plasmid. Data contained within will facilitate future genetic modification and engineering of the Arthrobacter sp. LS16 metabolic network to enhance traits relevant to bioremediation and bioproducts.

Microalgae have been considered a promising and sustainable candidate for wastewater treatment valuable bioproducts, such as feedstocks food, nutrients, energy. However, many challenging bottlenecks, low biomass productivity, expensive harvesting techniques, inefficient extraction of biofuels restrict its large-scale commercial production. Symbiotic relationships between microalgae bacteria, al...

The global trend for production of biofuels and bioproducts from renewable resources is currently steered by three important drivers: 1) increasing demand and prices of petroleumderived fuel; 2) increasing food needs; and 3) increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Biomass is the single renewable resource that has the potential to supplant the use of liquid transportation fuels now and help create ...

Antibodies were compared for use in the spin-amplified shell vial method for rapid cytomegalovirus detection. Commercial antibodies by Du Pont Co., Whittaker M.A. Bioproducts, Bartels Immunodiagnostic, Virostat, and Serono Diagnostics were compared at incubation times of 16 to 48 h on 22 patient specimens. Only the Du Pont antibody showed 100% sensitivity and specificity and no nonspecific reac...

In this work, air lime mortars were bioformulated with two innovative bioproducts, one resulting from iron supplemented Escherichia coli cultures and a second exploiting microbial mixed grown crude glycerol as substrate. The bioproducts lyophilized and, for the mortar formulation, suspended in water used mixing liquid. Workability of was evaluated by flow table consistency 90-days-old samples t...
