The rapid development of herbicide resistance in weeds, and environmental imperatives, have forced the consideration non-chemical tactics such as crop competition for weed management. This review wheat–weed examines plant traits associated with wheat competitiveness, opportunities breeding or manipulating agronomy to differentially favour growth crop. Many studies proven that enhancing competitive ability can reduce seed production yield loss, although a number difficulties conducting this...

Abstract Today, a few hundred mycotoxins have been identified and the number is rising. Mycotoxin detoxification of food feed has technically uphill task for industry. In twenty-first century, public demand healthy with minimum use chemicals preservatives. Among all fungal inhibition mycotoxin methods so far developed food, biopreservation biodetoxification found safe reliable. Nowadays, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are great interest as biological additives in owing to their Generally...

Summary In this study the feasibility of incorporation probiotic microcapsules coated with fragmented yeast cell wall in grape juice was evaluated during 60 days at 4 °C. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum were encapsulated alginate microbeads Saccharomyces cerevisiae calcium added into juice. At end storage, survival probiotics higher than recommended minimum value (10 7 cfu mL −1 ) results demonstrated that applying layer for L. significantly enhanced its while did not...

In this study, probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum were encapsulated in alginate beads with a mean diameter of 54.25 ± 0.18 µm by internal gelation. Encapsulated free cells control samples then added to the pasteurized grape juice stored for 60 days. At end storage period, survivability was significantly ( P<0.05) higher than that (8.67 0.12 7.57 0.08 log cfu mL −1 L. 8.27 0.05 7.53 0.07 B. forms, respectively). The results generally showed...

Lactococcus is a genus of lactic acid bacteria used in the dairy industry as starter. Lactococci have been found to produce altogether more than 40 different bacteriocins, ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial proteins. All known spp. bacteriocins belong classes I and II, which are mainly heat-resistant peptides. No class III bigger heat-sensitive proteins, including phage tail-like from Unlike prophage lysins not regarded possibly because contribute autolysis, degrading host's own cell...

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effects of lavender ( Lavandula angustifolia) essence on growth performance, carcass characteristics, blood parameters and caecal microflora broiler chickens. Six experimental diets were formulated include different levels as follows: 0 (control), 100, 200, 400, 600 800 mg/kg, respectively. A total 300 1-day-old male chicks (Ross-308 strain) randomly allocated treatment groups (5 replicates with 10 birds each). Diets fed mash form in both...

In this study, fungal spores were collected from the air, and mycelium was grown in Petri dishes containing potato dextrose agar medium lab. Based on morphological molecular characteristics, fungus identified as Fusarium nanum. A new double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mycovirus isolated mycelia of F. nanum tentatively named alternavirus 1 (FnAV1). The complete genome sequence FnAV1 obtained by Illumina sequencing, followed Sanger sequencing rapid amplification cDNA ends (RACE) 5′ 3′ ends. is...

Abstract Wild-type Lactococcus lactis strain LAC460 secretes prophage-encoded bacteriocin-like lysin LysL, which kills some strains, but has no lytic effect on the producer. LysL carries two N-terminal enzymatic active domains (EAD), and an unknown C-terminus without homology to known domains. This study aimed determine whether of a cell wall binding domain (CBD) for target specificity LysL. The C-terminal putative CBD region was fused with His-tagged green fluorescent protein (HGFPuv)....

Abstract The wild-type Lactococcus lactis strain LAC460 produces two bacteriocin-like phage lysins, LysL and LysP. This study aimed to produce secrete in various heterologous hosts an vitro cell-free expression system for further functional studies. Initially, the lysL gene from L. was cloned into cremoris NZ9000 N8 strains, with without usp45 signal sequence (SSusp45), under a nisin-inducible promoter. Active primarily produced intracellularly recombinant N8, some secretion supernatant....

Mycoviruses infect a wide range of fungal species, and many them have double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) genomes. Using dsRNA technique makes it easier to detect unknown mycoviruses in fungi. Previously, few studies reported extraction methods from tissues, but the procedures required significant amount starting material time, particularly growing cultures. In this study, we report an efficient quick method that is reproducible extract quality small culture short time. Extracted was subsequently...
