Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractConcentric Circles Painting Versus Back-and-Forth Scrubbing: A Comparison Between Two Skin Disinfection TechniquesKai Beng Tan, Yu Cheng Chiu, Audrey Tham et al.Traditionally, skin disinfection is performed in concentric circles. In recent years, there are studies which suggest that back-and-forth scrubbing could be a better technique. However, there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate which disinfection technique is better in reducing microbial load prior to invasive procedures. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of concentric circles painting and back-and-forth scrubbing skin disinfection … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2021 · 10,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNanowire Mediated Effect of Interspecies Electron Transfer in Organic Solid Waste Co-FermentationJingkang Chen, Daicheng Liu et al.Low efficiency of Interspecific Electron Transfer (IET) among microorganisms constrains organic matter degradation and biogas production in organic solid waste co‑fermentation. This work investigates the underlying bottleneck and evaluates the nanowire‑mediated enhancement of IET. Surface plasmon resonance‑enhanced electrochemical impedance spectroscopy coupled with metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing was applied to regulate endogenous nanowire formation in anaerobic reactors. Surface Plasmon Resonance-Enhanced Electrochemical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2026 · 591 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynergistic Effects of Wheat Bran and Inoculants on Fermentation and Nutritional Quality of Soybean Straw SilageLie Yang, Rundong Qin, Jiahuan Liu et al.The efficient valorisation of lignocellulosic biomass from soybean straw into high-quality silage remains a pressing challenge for sustainable livestock production. This study employed a 3×3 factorial design to systematically investigate the interactive effects between wheat bran additions (0%, 10%, 20% of fresh weight) and microbial inoculant regimes (control, Effective Microorganisms, EM+Trichoderma longibrachiatum) on soybean straw silage quality. Two-way ANOVA revealed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,109 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Ultrasonication on Milk Fat Globule Size and Inhibition of Salmonella enteritidis GrowthUmiatin Umiatin, Dalia Sukmawati, Taryudi Taryudi et al.One significant effect of ultrasonic treatment is the inactivation of microorganisms. This characteristic causes ultrasound to be widely used in food processing, healthcare devices, and water treatment. Ultrasonication is an innovative technology that holds promise for accelerating processes and producing high-quality products. The ultrasonic process in milk processing includes homogenization and sterilization. Milk homogenization standardizes fat globule size, while sterilization … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 8 May 2026 · 1,507 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate on the Microbial Community in Vegetables PhyllosphereXiaowei Fu, Dan WuA panel count method and a phospholipid fatty acid analysis technique were used to investigate the responses of Di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) pollutants to the phyllosphere microbial communities of Chinese Cabbage. The results of plate count analysis showed that the number of culturable microorganisms could be lower than that of water spray after treated with a certain amount of DEHP pollutant. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2020 · 7,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization and in Silico Analysis of Phytochemical Compounds from Plants with Immunomodulatory PotentialHermin Pancasakti Kusumaningrum, Rejeki Siti Ferniah, Siti Nur Jannah et al.The immune system works to protect the body against foreign antigens from microorganisms and abnormal cells. The use of herbal plants as immunomodulators are used to prevent disease attacks. TNFα and interleukin-6 are pro-inflammatory immune systems that cause disease in uncontrolled synthesis. Herbal plants as inhibitors of TNFα and interleukin-6 need to be identified molecularly to reduce the occurrence of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 27 Nov 2025 · 1,954 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Degradation of Paracetamol in Pharmaceutical Wastewater: A ReviewYahya Seun Yisau, Naeif Hamoud Al-Makishah, Mohamed Abou El-Fetouh BarakatParacetamol (4′-hydroxyacetanilide or N-acetyl-p-aminophenol or Acetaminophen) is an analgesic and antipyretic over-the-counter commonly used drug. Paracetamol has been detected in, surface waters, wastewater, and drinking water globally because of its significant utilization and unregulated release into the surroundings which have been a great concern and require an urgent approach. Microbial degradation of paracetamol is considered a desirable choice because of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 3 Aug 2024 · 6,917 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Bacteria Leading to Microbial Spoilage of Sweet Potato and Screening for Antistaling Agents Running HeadDaoqi Liu, Huili Liu, Yuanyuan Dang et al.To develop natural preservatives tailored for sweet potatoes, the control effect of essential oils on the spoilage microorganisms of sweet potatoes is uncertain. Therefore, we first isolated and identified the dominant spoilage bacteria from spoiled sweet potatoes. Micrococcus aloeverae, Priestia aryabhattai, and Glutamicibacter arilaitensis were identified through screening, morphological observation, gram staining, and 16S rDNA assays. Subsequently, five plant essential … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2024 · 5,221 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Composition and Antibacterial Activity of Subcritical CO2 Extract of Beta vulgaris L.Aidana Yerubay, Saule Akhmetova et al.The perpetual quest for novel antimicrobial agents is an ongoing endeavor within the scientific community. Contemporary investigations concerning members of the family Amaranthaceae, Beta vulgaris, have disclosed significant therapeutic properties in plants that were formerly exclusively employed as dietary resources. The roots and stems of red beets (Beta vulgaris L. var. conditiva) have been found to possess medicinal properties attributed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 2 · 4 Jan 2024 · 4,970 accessesView PDFCite
