Abstract Fluctuations in redox conditions bioprocesses can alter the end‐products, reduce their concentration, and lengthen process time. Electrofermentation enables rapid metabolic modulation of biosynthesis allows control imbalances biofilm‐based fermentation processes. In this study, electrofermentation is used to boost production bacterial biopolymer poly‐γ‐glutamic acid (γ‐PGA) from Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6051. When compared experiments (3.3 ± 0.99 g L −1 ), application an electrode...

Abstract Acinetobacter baumannii is an infectious agent of global proportion and concern, partly due to its proficiency in development antibiotic resistance phenotypes biofilm formation. Dithiocarbamates (DTC) have been identified as possible alternatives the current antimicrobials. We report here evaluation several DTC-metal complexes against A. planktonic cells biofilms. Among DTCs tested, ZnL1 ( N -methyl-1-phenyldithiocarbamato-S,S′ Zn(II)), originally designed antitumor agent, effective...

Drug-eluting stents (DES) are mostly used in percutaneous coronary intervention, which is the main treatment for artery occlusion. This procedure aims to restore natural lumen, while minimizing risk of restenosis. However, stent insertion increases infections, due contamination device or hub with normal skin flora. While infection a rare complication, it can be fatal. Currently, there little information on biofilm formation everolimus-eluting stents. Although everolimus not designed as an...

Tap water in Kazakhstan is rich carbonate due to contamination of surface and insufficient drinking treatment. This leads scaling home appliances such as cooking ware. Fermented whey a by-product small-scale farming, lactic acid, with pH ~ 2.8. Thus, it can be used formulate low-cost, environmentally friendly descaling agent. In this work, mild steel coupons were scaled through precipitation boiling water. Scale removal immersion fermented whey, DI water, food-grade vinegar was then carried...

Abstract Helicobacter pylori is a widespread bacterium that has effectively colonized half of the global population, with Africa having over 70% total burden H. infections (HPI). Considering its acknowledged classification as bacterial carcinogens and their significant contribution to development gastrointestinal disorders such gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric neoplasia, together growing resistance antibiotics. Gaining insight into etiology this organism crucial in order investigate develop...

Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis is a model organism for the biotechnology industry and has recently been characterized as weakly electroactive in both planktonic cultures biofilms. Increasing extracellular electron transfer (EET) rate B. biofilms will help to develop an efficient microbial electrochemical technology (MET) improve bioproduction of high-value metabolites under electrofermentative conditions. In our previous work, we have shown that addition compatible solute precursors such...
