The beneficial endophytic fungus fusarium solani strain K alters tomato responses against spider mites to the benefit of the plant
(2018)Beneficial microorganisms are known to promote plant growth and confer resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors. Soil-borne beneficial microbes in particular have shown potential in protecting plants against pathogens ... -
Bioactivities, chemical composition and nutritional value of Cynara cardunculus L. seeds
(2019)In the present study, the nutritional value, bioactive properties, and chemical composition of various cardoon (Cynara cardunculus L.) genotypes cultivated in central Greece were investigated. The results demonstrated that ... -
Challenges in microbially and chelate-assisted phytoextraction of cadmium and lead – A review
(2021)Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are ubiquitously present in surface soils, due to anthropogenic activities, causing threat to ecological and human health because of their carcinogenic nature. They accumulate in large quantities ... -
Chemical composition and bioactive properties of: Sanguisorba minor Scop. under Mediterranean growing conditions
(2019)Sanguisorba minor Scop. is a perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region which exhibits several medicinal activities. In the present study, plant growth, chemical composition, and antitumor and antimicrobial properties ... -
Cotton and cardoon byproducts as potential growing media components for Cichorium spinosum L. commercial cultivation
(2019)The intensification of horticultural crops cultivation makes urgent the seeking for alternative growth substrates that could substitute non-renewable and/or synthetic growing media, such as peat and rock wool. The aim of ... -
The dissipation and microbial ecotoxicity of tebuconazole and its transformation products in soil under standard laboratory and simulated winter conditions
(2018)Tebuconazole (TBZ) is a widely used triazole fungicide at EU level on cereals and vines. It is relatively persistent in soil where it is transformed to various transformation products (TPs) which might be environmentally ... -
The evolution of knowledge on seafood spoilage microbiota from the 20th to the 21st century: Have we finished or just begun?
(2022)Backround: The modern dietary trends have led to a continuously increasing demand for seafood. Both high quality and extended shelf-life of seafood is required to satisfy the nowadays dietary tendency, as well as the ... -
Impact of twenty pesticides on soil carbon microbial functions and community composition
(2022)Pesticides are known to affect non-targeted soil microorganisms. Still, studies comparing the effect of multiple pesticides on a wide range of microbial endpoints associated with carbon cycling are scarce. Here, we employed ... -
Irradiation treatments
(2017)Numerous factors (e.g., growth of pathogenic microorganisms) affect the preservation and safety of slightly processed foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits. There is an increasing trend to centrally process fresh fruits ... -
Irrigation of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) with microcystin-enriched water holds low risk for plants and their associated rhizopheric and epiphytic microbiome
(2020)Microcystins (MCs) are toxins produced during cyanobacterial blooms. They reach soil and translocated to plants through irrigation of agricultural land with water from MC-impacted freshwater systems. To date we have good ... -
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, ... -
Land spreading of wastewaters from the fruit-packaging industry and potential effects on soil microbes: Effects of the antioxidant ethoxyquin and its metabolites on ammonia oxidizers
(2016)Thiabendazole (TBZ), imazalil (IMZ), ortho-phenylphenol (OPP), diphenylamine (DPA), and ethoxyquin (EQ) are used in fruitpackaging plants (FPP) with the stipulation that wastewaters produced by their application would be ... -
Microbiological confinement of two adjacent water wells in Lake Karla Basin, Greece
(2015)We analyzed the bacterial and archaeal community structure of two adjacent irrigation well waters of the Lake Karla Basin, Central Greece, in order to elucidate their connectivity or confinement by using 454 tag pyrosequencing ... -
Optimizing Microalgal Biomass Feedstock Selection for Nanocatalytic Conversion Into Biofuel Clean Energy, Using Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making Processes
(2021)Biofuel production from microalgae non-food feedstock is a challenge for strengthening Green energy nowadays. Reviewing the current technology, there is still reluctance in investing towards the production of new algal ... -
Pesticide effects on nitrogen cycle related microbial functions and community composition
(2022)The extensive application of pesticides in agriculture raises concerns about their potential negative impact on soil microorganisms, being the key drivers of nutrient cycling. Most studies have investigated the effect of ... -
Pesticide soil microbial toxicity: Setting the scene for a new pesticide risk assessment for soil microorganisms (IUPAC Technical Report)
(2022)Pesticides constitute an integral part of modern agriculture. However, there are still concerns about their effects on non-target organisms. To address this the European Commission has imposed a stringent regulatory scheme ... -
Prokaryotic diversity in biodeteriorated wood coming from the Bükkábrány fossil forest
(2016)The oldest standing paleo-forest in the world is located at Bükkábrány in Hungary. Some 7 million years ago a sudden and rapid deposition of sands from a prograding delta resulted in rise of the level of Lake Pannon that ... -
Role of microbial diversity for sustainable pyrite oxidation control in acid and metalliferous drainage prevention
