Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria found widely in nature . They colonize the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts of humans and animals, and are present in foods such as dairy products, fermented meats, fruits and vegetables. LAB are also intentionally added to several probiotic products because of their potential health benefits. Many LAB species are generally ...

Among the Italian olive germplasm, ‘Ascolana tenera’ is one of the best varieties for table olive production. This research addressed the impact of different processing types (Greek-style and Spanish-style) on the fermentation and phenolic composition of olive fruit. In particular, the effects of a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) starter culture on the fermentation of naturally green olives processe...

    Abstract   Background: Hepatitis B virus infection is an important cause of liver morbidity and   mortality worldwide. HDV changes the natural course of HBV. The prevalence of HDV infection wasn’t determined in the various groups of HBV infection (carriers, acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and HCC) in Iran. We aimed to research the prevalence of hepatitis D virus infection in v...

Recent experimental research suggests that unpredicted behavior in the lab may result from endowment distribution and origin. We design an experiment to explore the impact of heterogeneous endowments and earned endowments on observed contributions in a linear public good game. Our results suggest that contribution levels were significantly lower when groups had heterogeneous rather than homogen...

background and objectives: lactic acid bacteria (lab) play important roles in processing of sayur asin (spontaneously fermented mustard). unfortunately, information about lab in indonesian sayur asin, prepared by traditional manufactures which is important as baseline data for maintenance of food quality and safety, is unclear. the aim of this study was to describe the diversity and distributio...

Background: Hot lab is a specially designed room in a nuclear medicine hospital where the radiopharmaceuticals are delivered, stored and prepared for dispensing. 99Mo/99mTc-generator is the major source in the hot lab used for various medical imaging. It is important to maintain a standard for hot lab procedures to optimize the patient care and minimize radiation exposure to all nuclear medicin...
