Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Different Sanitizers on Microbial, Sensory and Nutritional Quality of Fresh-Cut Jalapeno PeppersSaul Ruiz-Cruz, Emilio Alvarez-Parrilla, Laura A. de la Rosa et al.Problem statement: Sanitation is a critical step to insure safety of fresh-cut produce. The inadequacies of chlorine, currently used as a sanitizer, have stimulated interest in finding safer, more effective sanitizers, however little is known on the impact of these novel sanitizers on sensory and nutrimental quality of the treated products. Approach: The effect of four sanitizers: Sodium hypochlorite (OCl), … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,124 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicrobial Growth, Sensory Characteristic and pH as Potential Spoilage Indicators of Chinese Yellow Wet Noodles from Commercial Processing PlantsSuwaibah Ghaffar, Abdulamir AS, Fatimah Abu Bakar et al.Problem statement: This study was conducted to evaluate the potential use of microbial growth, sensory characteristic (odour) and pH as potential spoilage indicators of Chinese yellow wet noodles. Approach: Samples were collected from 3 commercial processing plants namely, Automated Processing (AP), Semi-automated Processing (SP) and Manual Processing (MP). The samples were kept at ambient temperature (28±2 °C) and monitored microbiologically … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of Microbial Inoculants and the Impact of Soil Application on Rice Seedlings GrowthHayyan Ismaeil Al-Taweil, Mohammad Bin Osman, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YussofProblem statement: The present study was undertaken to assess the Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) as carrier of Biofertilizer and microbial inoculants interaction. A study in Malaysia had shown a strain of Trichoderma viride and Bacillus megaterium were isolated from the soil. Questions were raised whether the tow inoculants compatible to be mixed in same carrier? It is important to develop … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicrobial Response to the Application of Amendments in a Contaminated Soil with Trace ElementsA. Branzini, M. S. Zubillaga, M. M. ZubillagaProblem Statement: The anthropogenic activities can cause adverse effects in soils, increasing in some situations trace elements contents, impacting negatively both the microbial biomass and activity. Among the practices used for the recovery of soil quality we can find the application of organic amendments or the product of their composting. These can adsorb trace elements decreasing their availability and increasing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of the Application of Sewage Sludge and Presence of Pesticides on the Development of the Microbial Population of the Soil and on the Transformation of Organic Carbon and Nutrient ElementsM.E. Sánchez, I. B. Estrada, O. Martínez et al.The laboratory trial consisted in incubating samples of soil and soil treated with sewage sludge, with the application of organophosphate pesticides with different active ingredients under controlled conditions of temperature and moisture. On the basis of a previous study of the influence of the application of sludge on the degradation of pesticides in the soil, a kinetic study is included … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessEvery word in the titleHistopathology of Microbially Induced Corrosion and Cluster Failure of Moderately Rough Surface Oral Implants in a Resident Bone MicrobiotaStephen Nelson, Helen Hu et al.This case report presents as a maxillary "cluster-failure", where six moderately rough-surface oral implants (1-2 microns) were installed to support a full-arch hybrid bridge. Understanding cluster failures requires the acknowledgment of biofilm science that recognizes the persistence of bacterial infection in bone following extraction and the need to bioremediate the bone-bed, by surgical debridement, before implant installation. The patient, a … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2024 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMicrobial Consortia from Taptapani Hot Water Springs for Mining Effluent TreatmentPoonam Nasipuri, Gauri G. Pandit, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: Soluble sulfate load in effluent is a crucial problem from mining industries. The study involved isolation of efficient Sulfate Reducing Bacterial (SRB) consortium from hot water spring for bioremediatrion of sulfate contaminated waste water. Approach: The enriched bacterial consortium was isolated in medium DSMZ 16695. The sulfate reduction efficiency was measured by turbidometric method. The Km and Rmax … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCyclodextrin Glucanotransferase Activity of Microbial Strains Isolated from Yam-Cultivation Soils in Northwestern BeninCyrille Alode Vodounon, Ténor Dias-Mendel Allode et al.β-Cyclodextrin, an industrially important oligosaccharide, is produced by microbial enzymes such as cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). This study investigated ways to optimize the enzymatic activity of CGTase from Bacillus cereus, Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus brevis, and Bacillus subtilis strains isolated from soils in north-western Benin. Cyclization activity of CGTase and the influence of pH, temperature, and metal ions were assessed using conventional … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2026 · 652 accessesView PDFCite
