Banana: cultivars, biotechnological approaches and genetic transformation
(2008)Genetic modification of banana has been considered as a path towards increasing the value of this crop according to health and nutrition in developing countries. Banana as a crop is one of the most important and widely ... -
Biotechnological Utilization with a Focus on Anaerobic Treatment of Cheese Whey: Current Status and Prospects
(2012)Cheese whey utilization is of major concern nowadays. Its high organic matter content, in combination with the high volumes produced and limited treatment options make cheese whey a serious environmental problem. However, ... -
Biotechnology for the production of essential oils, flavours and volatile isolates. A review
(2010)Various applications of biotechnological methods for the production of volatile compounds useful to the food and pharmaceutical industries are discussed. The yields obtained from intact or genetically modified plants are ... -
Dissolved oxygen technologies as a novel strategy for non-healing wounds: A critical review
(2021)Non-healing wounds are steadily becoming a global-health issue. Prolonged hypoxia propagates wound chronicity; yet, oxygenating treatments are considered inadequate to date. Dissolved oxygen (DO) in aqueous solutions ... -
Isolation and characterisation of a Sphingomonas strain able to degrade the fungicide ortho-phenylphenol
(2016)BACKGROUND: Ortho-phenylphenol (OPP) is a fungicide used in fruit packaging plants for the control of fungal infestations during storage. Its application leads to the production of large wastewater volumes which according ... -
Isolation of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole: the key role of a Sphingomonas phylotype
(2017)Thiabendazole (TBZ) is a fungicide used in fruit-packaging plants. Its application leads to the production of wastewaters requiring detoxification. In the absence of efficient treatment methods, biological depuration of ... -
Isolation, characterization and industrial application of a Cladosporium herbarum fungal strain able to degrade the fungicide imazalil
(2022)Imazalil (IMZ) is an imidazole fungicide commonly used by fruit-packaging plants (FPPs) to control fungal infections during storage. Its application leads to the production of pesticide-contaminated wastewaters, which, ... -
Managing Viral Emerging Infectious Diseases via current Molecular Diagnostics in the Emergency Department: the Tricky Cases
(2022)Introduction: Emerging infectious diseases’ diagnosis has been a major problem in most hospitals and other senior care facilities, especially for the current Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The various clinical ... -
Microbial adaptation to high ammonia concentrations during anaerobic digestion of manure-based feedstock: biomethanation and 16S rRNA gene sequencing
(2020)BACKGROUND: Microbial consortia resistant to high ammonia concentrations may facilitate biogas production from high ammonia-containing wastes and manures during anaerobic digestion. Microbial communities were gradually ... -
The pivotal role of protein phosphorylation in the control of yeast central metabolism
(2017)Protein phosphorylation is the most frequent eukaryotic post-translational modification and can act as either a molecular switch or rheostat for protein functions. The deliberate manipulation of protein phosphorylation has ... -
Proteomics challenging medicine
(2005)The study of the genome dictated that the whole is more than the sum of its parts; genes do not function independently but in networks. The impact of this understanding was explosive. It acknowledged the concept that this ... -
Rapid test ag 2019-nCoV (PROGNOSIS, BIOTECH, Larissa, Greece); performance evaluation in hospital setting with real time RT-PCR
(2021)Introduction: Rapid antigen tests (RATs) are convenient for SARS-CoV-2 detection be-cause they are simpler and faster than nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs). This study aimed to assess the accuracy of a locally ... -
Time to integrate biotechnological approaches into fish gut microbiome research
(2022)Like for other vertebrates, the fish microbiome is critical to the health of its host and has complex and dynamic interactions with the surrounding environment. Thus, the study of the fish microbiome can benefit from the ...
