Soil salinity, due to natural phenomena or human activities, alters the water potential, which in turn affects plant growth, negatively influencing their nutrient and uptake. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be used counteract these negative effects, especially glycophytes. The aim of our study was characterize physiologically, genetically, biochemically novel halotolerant/halophilic bacteria isolated previous work. We evaluated plant-growth-promoting (PGP) features NaCl...
Rare Earth Elements (REE), also known as Lanthanides (Ln3+), are a group of 17 elements showing peculiar physical and chemical properties. Unlike technological applications, very little is about the physiological role toxicity Ln3+ on biological systems, in particular microorganisms (e.g., bacteria), which represent most abundant domains our planet. Up to now, limited studies have been conducted due precipitation with some anions commonly present culture media. Therefore, development minimal...
We obtained Multi-QACs (quaternary ammonium compounds) by introducing tetraalkylammonium groups on the wider rim of resorcin[4]arenes. These new compounds exhibit significant bacteriostatic activity and a surprising multivalent effect.

This research is focused on the formulation and testing of green visual pH-sensitive indicators based natural extracts from Curcuma Longa (CUR) Lambrusco wine pomace (LAM), an Italian variety, incorporated into rice starch/pectin/alginate matrixes for non-destructively detecting shrimps freshness in real-time. The effect mixed their synergic combination properties performances was investigated. Both extract showed pronounced pH responsiveness. Films were widely characterized terms...
