Citrus fruits are the most produced fruits in the world, but they are threatened by several pathogens, including the fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa, the causal agent of citrus black spot (CBS). The fungus affects most citrus species and the infection results in economic losses in citrus-producing areas. This disease causes the aesthetic depreciatio...

Xylanolytic enzymes are involved in xylan hydrolysis, the main ones being endo-β-1,4-xylanases (xylanases). This can be applied in the bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials into value-added products such as xylooligosaccharides (XOS). This study aimed to establish a protocol for the purification of xylanases, as well as to characterize and app...

The Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been widely employed in biotechnology industry and academia. However, the bioproduct manufacturing driven by E. coli is prone to the phage contamination. Good laboratory/factory hygiene may decrease but not avoid completely the chances of the phage contamination. The present study aims to resolve this problem by e...

AbstractAvilamycin, an excellent growth-promoting feed additive, produced by Streptomyces viridochromogenes, was widely used to promote the growth of poultry by inhibiting Gram-positive bacteria. In this work, the methods of combinational mutagenesis of UV (Ultraviolet) and ARTP (Atmospheric and room temperature plasma), and rational screening by h...

The surface of aboveground plant parts, known as the phyllosphere, is a habitat for various microorganisms called epiphytes establishing biotrophic interactions with their hosts. However, these communities can be affected by environmental and anthropogenic variations such as the application of agrochemicals. Thus, epiphytes have the capacity to sur...

The conventional baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is the indispensable baking yeast of all times. Its monopoly coupled to its major drawbacks, such as streamlined carbon substrate utilisation base and a poor ability to withstand a number of baking associated stresses, prompt the need to search for alternative yeasts to leaven bread in the e...

Biodiesel generated by transesterification of triglycerides from renewable sources is a clean form of energy that is currently used in many countries in blends with petrodiesel. It is mainly produced from food-grade vegetable oils obtained from oleaginous crops. High prices of these oils have made the sustainability of biodiesel production question...

Multi-drug resistant bacteria are not effectively managed with current treatments, making it a serious global problem. Therefore, there is an essential need for finding new antimicrobial agents. In this regard, silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) have been projected as a new generation of antimicrobial agents. Ag-NPs were biomediated by Egyptian Streptom...

The number of studies on the removal of hazardous metals from water using genetic engineering technologies is growing. A high rate of metal ion removal from the environment is ensured, particularly through the expression of cysteine and thiol-rich proteins such as metallothioneins in bacterial cells. In this study, we used recombinant strains creat...

Recent omics approaches have revealed the prevalent microbial taxa that constitute the microbiome of various plant species. Across global scales and environmental conditions, strains belonging to the bacterial genus Caulobacter have consistently been found in association with various plant species. Aligned with agroecological relevance and biotechn...
