Because of their abundance in hemicellulosic wastes arabinose and xylose are an interesting source carbon for biotechnological production processes. Previous studies have engineered several Corynebacterium glutamicum strains the utilization xylose, however, with inefficient capabilities. To improve utilization, different isomerase genes were tested C. glutamicum. The gene originating from Xanthomonas campestris was shown to highest effect, resulting growth rates 0.14 h(-1), followed by...

Mycotoxins produced by Fusarium species are secondary metabolites with low molecular weight formed filamentous fungi generally resistant to different environmental factors and, therefore, undergo slow degradation. Contamination mycotoxins in cereals and millets is the foremost quality challenge food feed industry faces across globe. Several types of chemical preservatives employed mitigation process these mycotoxins, they help long-term storage; however, can be used only some extent, so...

As significant fungal pathogens of crops, Fusaria species contaminate various food and feed commodities. Some the Fusarium spp. secondary metabolites (e.g., trichothecenes, zearalenone, fumonisins) are widely known toxic molecules (mycotoxins) with chronic acute effects on humans animals. The growing demand for safer, pesticide-free drives us to increase biological control during crop growing. Recent research suggests that lactic acid bacteria (LABs) as biocontrol best choice extenuating...
