The probiotic potential, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of Enterococcus durans LAB18s, a strain capable selenium bioaccumulation, was investigated. E. LAB18s showed resistance to acid conditions, showing ability survive in the presence simulated gastric juice at pH 3. This bacterium also survived intestinal with or without bile salts, did not show hemolytic activity. activity culture supernatant intracellular extract tested against different pathogenic microorganisms, namely...
Enterococci belong to the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) group, which are often considered provide benefit host organism when consumed. However, these microorganisms have a potential as infective agents, being necessary evaluate presence of virulence factors and resistance antibiotics warrant safe use new strains probiotic cultures. This study aimed detect genes related with adhesion, aggregation, biofilm formation vancomycin, in addition antibiotic susceptibility adhesion capacity Enterococcus...
ABSTRACT The aim was to evaluate the probiotic properties and safety aspects of isolate Pediococcus pentosaceus P107 as well its tolerance survivability in a simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) environment viability during storage natural yogurt. vitro evaluation based on GIT tolerance, bile salt resistance, acidic conditions. were assessed using gelatinase, DNAse, hemolytic activity tests, antimicrobial susceptibility, cytotoxicity. functional yogurt prepared with microbiological,...
Lead (Pb) contamination poses significant ecological and health risks due to its persistence toxicity. Bacterial-assisted phytoremediation has emerged as a promising, eco-friendly strategy for Pb removal. This review focuses on the integration of bacteria in phytoremediation, exploring mechanisms factors that influence effectiveness this process. Case studies demonstrate bacterial inoculation can increase accumulation plant tissues, enhance biomass growth, reduce contamination. Finally,...
HIGHLIGHTS A decrease in BDNF levels is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and depression. Curcumin supplementation improves symptomatology a powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidant.
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have an important role in a great variety of fermented foods. In addition to their contribution sensory characteristics, they enhance food preservation and can be used as probiotics. this study, the antimicrobial antioxidant activities culture supernatants cell free extracts 16 LAB isolated from meat dairy products were investigated. The bacterial identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. GenBank BLAST analysis revealed that all isolates belong Enterococcus faecium...
The evaluation of plants occurring naturally at contaminated environments are essential for applying this species in remediation techniques. In context, the Sagittaria montevidensis with potential phytoremediation was studied an anthropogenic polluted stream southern Brazil. nutrients and heavy metal content were determined phytomass. indexes evaluated such as bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation (TF), plant effective number (PEN), phytoremoval (mg m−2). S. then detected presenting...
Vineyard soils are frequently polluted with high concentrations of copper due application sulfate in order to control fungal diseases. Bioremediation is an efficient process for the treatment contaminated sites. Efficient sorption bacteria can be used bioremoval from In this study, a total 106 resistant were examined resistance toxicity and biosorption copper. Eighty isolates (45 vineyard Mollisol, 35 Inceptisol) obtained EMBRAPA (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária) experimental...
Indigenous plants have been grown naturally and vigorously in copper contaminated soils. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate phytoremediation ability two indigenous vineyard soils contaminated, a mining waste. However, it evaluated macro micronutrient uptake potential phytoremediation. So, greenhouse carried out with Bidens pilosa Plantago lanceolata samples (Inceptisol Mollisol) Plant growth, up take, tolerance index (TI), translocation factor (TF), metal extraction ratio (MER),...
