Foods with extended shelf life motivate the development of active packaging materials. The addition functional fillers to polysaccharide-based films is a promising approach. In this line, biochar-ZnO (C–ZnO) composites were obtained from sucrose and glucosamine pyrolyzed in presence ZnO particles, resulting Suc-ZnO GlcN-ZnO composites, respectively. influence different amounts (10%, 30%, 50 wt%) C–ZnO structures on properties thermoplastic starch-based was studied, demonstrating that wt%...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern with significant neurological, social, and economic impacts. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) surgical intervention used to manage severe TBI refractory intracranial hypertension (ICH), aiming reduce mortality by alleviating pressure. Despite its life-saving potential, DC associated high rates of disability long-term complications, including hydrocephalus infections. This study aims systematically analyze compare the postoperative...
Carbonaceous materials derived from biomass have been used as sustainable platforms for the growth of ZnO particles aiming production functional composite fillers. Kidney-bean pods were pyrolyzed by applying an experimental design that demonstrates specific surface area (SBET) biochar is improved with increasing pyrolysis temperature combined a short air-oxidation time. Meanwhile, graphitization degree and electrical conductivity (EC) biochars negatively affected The sample higher EC one...
Secondary metabolites (SMs) from environmental bacteria offer viable solutions for various health and challenges. Researchers are employing advanced bioinformatic tools to investigate less-explored microorganisms unearth novel bioactive compounds. In this research area, our understanding of SMs Gram-negative lags behind that its Gram-positive counterparts. regard, Pedobacter spp. have recently gained attention, not only their role as plant growth promoters but also potential in producing...
Microbial metabolomics allows understanding and to comprehensively analyse metabolites, their related cellular metabolic processes, that are produced released the extracellular environment under specific conditions. In regard, main objective of this research is understand impact culture media changes in profile Pedobacter lusitanus NL19 (NL19) himalayensis MTCC 6384 (MTCC6384) respective influence on production biotechnologically relevant compounds. Solid-phase microextraction combined with...
Secondary metabolites (SMs) produced by bacteria from unusual environments can contribute to mitigate some of the health and environmental challenges we face. The knowledge diversity applicability SMs Gram-negatives is lagging behind that Gram-positives. Examples include members genus Pedobacter produce nonribosomal peptides active against listed WHO as a priority for R&D new drugs. Herein, total 233 biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) were identified in Pedobacter´s pangenome, which...
