Aedes aegypti lines for combined sterile insect technique and incompatible insect technique applications: the importance of host genomic background
(2020)Aedes aegypti L. (Diptera: Culicidae), being the primary vector of pathogenic arboviruses, is a target for the development of novel genetic approaches to complement current conventional vector control strategies such as ... -
Ammonia-induced inhibition of manure-based continuous biomethanation process under different organic loading rates and associated microbial community dynamics
(2021)Three Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors (CTSRs) were operating at steady state conditions with Organic Loading Rates (OLR) of 2.09, 3.024 and 4.0 g VS L−1 d−1. Glucose was used as the sole factor for increasing the OLR, ... -
Ancestral Absence of Electron Transport Chains in Patescibacteria and DPANN
(2020)Recent discoveries suggest that the candidate superphyla Patescibacteria and DPANN constitute a large fraction of the phylogenetic diversity of Bacteria and Archaea. Their small genomes and limited coding potential have ... -
Anthropogenic effects on bacterial diversity and function along a river-to-estuary gradient in Northwest Greece revealed by metagenomics
(2016)Studies assessing the effects of anthropogenic inputs on the taxonomic and functional diversity of bacterioplankton communities in lotic ecosystems are limited. Here, we applied 16S rRNA gene amplicon and whole-genome ... -
Antimicrobial properties of lyophilized extracts of olive fruit, pomegranate and orange peel extracts against foodborne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria and fungi in vitro and in food matrices
(2021)Several novel antimicrobials with different concentrations of olive, pomegranate, and orange fruit pulp extracts were produced from agricultural byproducts and, after lyophilization, their antimicrobial activity and potential ... -
Application of bioassays and soil column test for toxicity evaluation of selected pesticides
(2008)The toxic effects of an organophosphate nematicide (Fosthiazate) and a benzenoid fungicide (Metalaxyl-M) have been evaluated by the use of thefresh water algae P. subcapitata. The effects of copper (Cu+2), an ingredient ... -
Assessment of plant growth promoting bacteria strains on growth, yield and quality of sweet corn
(2022)The use of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) is increasingly gaining acceptance from all the stakeholders of the agricultural production. Different strains of PGPB species had been found to have a vast variety of ... -
Assessment of the effects of oxamyl on the bacterial community of an agricultural soil exhibiting enhanced biodegradation
(2019)Modern agricultural practices largely rely on pesticides to protect crops against various pests and to ensure high yields. Following their application to crops a large amount of pesticides ends up in soil where they may ... -
Assessment of the impact of three pesticides on microbial dynamics and functions in a lab-to-field experimental approach
(2018)The toxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms is as an emerging area of concern. Novel and well-standardized tools could be now used to provide a robust assessment of the ecotoxicity of pesticides on soil microorganisms. ... -
Atrazine, chlorpyrifos, and iprodione effect on the biodiversity of bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi in a pilot biopurification system with a green cover
(2017)The use of biopurification systems can mitigate the effects of pesticide contamination on farms. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pesticide dissipation on microbial communities in a pilot ... -
Bacterial and archaeal phylotypes associated with distinct mineralogical layers of a white smoker spire from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent site (9°N, East Pacific Rise)
(2006)A diffusely venting chimney spire from the East Pacific Rise (9°N) was analysed by petrographic thin sectioning and 16S rRNA gene cloning and sequencing in parallel, to correlate microbial community composition with ... -
Bacterial communities and potential spoilage markers of whole blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) stored under commercial simulated conditions
(2019)Bacterial communities composition using 16S Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) profile of whole blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) stored at 4 and 10 °C (proper and abuse temperature) ... -
Beyond the Microbiome: Germ-ganism? An Integrative Idea for Microbial Existence, Organization, Growth, Pathogenicity, and Therapeutics
(2022)The advances made by microbiome research call for new vocabulary and expansion of our thinking in microbiology. For example, the life-forms presenting in both unicellular and multicellular formats invite us to rethink ... -
Bioaugmentation of thiabendazole-contaminated soils from a wastewater disposal site: Factors driving the efficacy of this strategy and the diversity of the indigenous soil bacterial community
(2018)The application of the fungicide thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruit packaging plants (FPP) results in the production of effluents which are often disposed in adjacent field sites. These require remediation to prevent further ... -
Bioprocess performance, transformation pathway, and bacterial community dynamics in an immobilized cell bioreactor treating fludioxonil-contaminated wastewater under microaerophilic conditions
(2022)Fludioxonil is a post-harvest fungicide contained in effluents produced by fruit packaging plants, which should be treated prior to environmental dispersal. We developed and evaluated an immobilized cell bioreactor, operating ... -
Biotreatment and bacterial succession in an upflow immobilized cell bioreactor fed with fludioxonil wastewater
(2021)The large quantities and the persistent nature of fungicide wastewaters have increased the efforts towards a sustainable technological solution. In this context, fludioxonil-contaminated wastewater was treated in an upflow ... -
Blame it on the metabolite: 3,5-dichloroaniline rather than the parent compound is responsible for the decreasing diversity and function of soil microorganisms
(2018)Pesticides are key stressors of soil microorganisms with reciprocal effects on ecosystem functioning. These effects have been mainly attributed to the parent compounds, while the impact of their transformation products ... -
Characterization of the biodegradation, bioremediation and detoxification capacity of a bacterial consortium able to degrade the fungicide thiabendazole
