Isolation of a Novel Kluyveromyces marxianus Strain QKM-4 and Evidence of Its Volatilome Production and Binding Potentialities in the Biocontrol of Toxigenic Fungi and Their Mycotoxins
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
To overcome the economic losses associated with fungi and their toxic metabolites, environmentally safe and efficient approaches are needed. To this end, biological control using yeasts and safe bacterial strains and their ...
Biotechnology for gas-to-liquid (GTL)wastewater treatment: A review
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article Review)
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) technology involves the conversion of natural gas into several liquid hydrocarbon products. The Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process is the most widely applied approach for GTL, and it is the main source of ...
CD44 mediates stem cell mobilization to damaged lung via its novel transcriptional targets, Cortactin and Survivin
(
Ivyspring International Publisher
, 2020 , Article)
Beyond their role in bone and lung homeostasis, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are becoming popular in cell therapy. Various insults may disrupt the repair mechanisms involving MSCs. One such insult is smoking, which is a ...
Deregulation of cell growth and apoptosis in UV-induced melanomagenesis
(
Frontiers in Bioscience
, 2020 , Article Review)
We have previously characterized the role of p16/Rb in coordinating the early events in UVB-irradiated skin. As an extension to this work, normal melanocytes and mutant p16-inducible melanoma cell models were employed to ...
The power of phytochemicals combination in cancer chemoprevention
(
Ivyspring International Publisher
, 2020 , Article Review)
Conventional therapies for cancer treatment have posed many challenges, including toxicity, multidrug resistance and economic expenses. In contrast, complementary alternative medicine (CAM), employing phytochemicals have ...
FTIR Spectroscopy to Reveal Lipid and Protein Changes Induced on Sperm by Capacitation: Bases for an Improvement of Sample Selection in ART.
(2020 , Article)
Although being a crucial step for Assisted Reproduction Technologies (ART) success, to date sperm selection is based only on morphology, motility and concentration characteristics. Considering the many possible alterations, ...
Energy depletion and opportunistic microbial colonisation in white syndrome lesions from corals across the Indo-Pacific
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
Corals are dependent upon lipids as energy reserves to mount a metabolic response to biotic and abiotic challenges. This study profiled lipids, fatty acids, and microbial communities of healthy and white syndrome (WS) ...
Localized outbreaks of coral disease on Arabian reefs are linked to extreme temperatures and environmental stressors
(
Springer
, 2020 , Article)
The Arabian Peninsula borders the hottest reefs in the world, and corals living in these extreme environments can provide insight into the effects of warming on coral health and disease. Here, we examined coral reef health ...
Case-control design identifies ecological drivers of endemic coral diseases
(
Nature Research
, 2020 , Article)
Endemic disease transmission is an important ecological process that is challenging to study because of low occurrence rates. Here, we investigate the ecological drivers of two coral diseases growth anomalies and tissue ...
The use of principle component analysis and MALDI-TOF MS for the differentiation of mineral forming: Virgibacillus and Bacillus species isolated from sabkhas
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2020 , Article)
Occurrence of mineral forming and other bacteria in mats is well demonstrated. However, their high diversity shown by ribotyping has not been explained, although it could explain the diversity of formed minerals. Common ...
