Glucocorticoids (GCs) are an important anti-inflammatory drug, used widely, regardless of its side effects. GCs can affect intestinal flora directly or indirectly, though few studies have focused on the changes of gut microbiota composition. In this study, ICR mice were randomly divided into three groups, gavage administration with saline, and diff...

Temperature is supposed to be one of the primary drivers for the bacterial diversification as well as hydrocarbon formation process of oil reservoirs. However, the bacterial community compositions are not systematically elucidated in oil reservoirs with different temperatures. Herein, the diversity of indigenous bacteria and the functional species ...

Aeromonas veronii is one of the main pathogens causing sepsis and ulcer syndrome in freshwater fish. Analysis of the results of epidemiological investigations in recent years has revealed that the virulence of A. veronii and its tolerance to drugs have been increasing year by year. Currently, most of the research on A. veronii focuses on its isolat...

Iron (Fe) deficiency is one of the major limiting factors affecting crop yields. Trichoderma asperellum Q1, a biocontrol and plant growth promoting fungus, can produce the siderophore which has a high affinity to Fe3+ in the absence of iron. In this study, Trichoderma asperellum Q1 was found to be able to promote growth of Arabidopsis thaliana in a...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, commonly found in environments, can cause chronic lung disease in immunocompromised patients. In previous study, an aerobic desaturase (DesB) in P. aeruginosa exerted considerable effects on virulence factor production. The objective of this study was to analyze the role of DesB on the virulence traits of P. aeruginosa in th...

The increasing mandate for fresh-like food products and the possible hazards of chemically preserved foods necessitate the search for alternatives. Bacteriocins represent a promising food biopreservative. In the present study, one hundred enterococci isolates recovered from Egyptian raw cow milk and homemade dairy products were screened for bacteri...
