Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-biofilm activity two essential oils from Varronia curassavica Jaq. Two genotypes (VCUR-202 and VCUR-302), previously identified as exhibiting high antimicrobial against Xanthomonas campestris, were selected for study. Use Crystal Violet (CV) Phenol Red (PR) staining biofilm biomass demonstrated that both Essential Oils (EOs) had strong effect on formation preformed biofilm. EOs effects confirmed with scanning electron microscopy...
Xylanases have gained increasing importance due to their diverse applications in the food, paper, and pharmaceutical industries, however, production of these enzymes currently uses expensive substrates. It has already been estimated that more than 30% enzyme cost originates from substrate. The present study aimed optimize extracellular xylanases by Bacillus sp. TC-DT 13 using solid-state fermentation with agro-industrial residues, a view at reducing enzymes. All residues were tested...
