The predictiveness minimum biofilm eradication concentration (MBEC) assay as a tool antibiotic susceptibility testing was also assessed. inhibitory (MIC) MBEC tetracycline, tetracycline-based commercial spray, silver nitrate, gentian violet, iodine tincture, sucrose laboratory mixture violet were...
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) grain is prone to microbial and insect infestation. This study evaluated some quality properties of sorghum irradiated with low energy electron beam (LEEB), high (HEEB), gamma rays. The experimental samples were at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 kGy, while the unirradiated sample served as a control. experiments LEEB HEEB involved accelerators ILU-6 (250 keV) ELEKTRONIKA 10-10 (9 MeV), respectively. A Chamber 5000 Co-60 device provided irradiation. phytochemical,...
