Malt flour represents a potential clean label bread improver, but a high enzymatic activity can lead to some bread defects. Thus, this study was focused on applying different thermal treatments (10 and 40 min; 70-90 °C) to green barley malt in order to promote a partial enzyme inactivation. The addition of 1.5 g of thermally treated malt (TTM) per ...

Biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces has become a major public health concern because of the serious problems they can cause in various fields. Biofilm cells are extremely resistant to stressful conditions, because of their complex structure impedes antimicrobial penetration to deep-seated cells. The increased resistance of biofilm to currently ap...

Petroleum hydrocarbons and toxic metals are sources of environmental contamination and are harmful to all ecosystems. Fungi have metabolic and morphological plasticity that turn them into potential prototypes for technological development in biological remediation of these contaminants due to their ability to interact with a specific contaminant an...

Digestion is a fundamentally important process for an individual's life. However, the physical process of digestion is hidden inside the body, making it challenging to understand and a particularly difficult topic for students to learn in the classroom. Traditional approaches to teaching body processes include a mixture of textbook teaching and vis...

Previous studies noted the scantiness of diagnostic instruments for the assessment of students' understanding of fundamental biochemistry concepts. Consequently, within this study, a four-tier test for the examination of secondary school students' conceptual understanding of amino acids, proteins, and enzymes has been developed. Items in the test c...

Metabolic enzymes tend to evolve towards catalytic efficacy, precision and speed. This seems particularly true for ancient and conserved enzymes involved in fundamental cellular processes that are present virtually in every cell and organism and converting and producing relatively limited metabolite numbers. Nevertheless, sessile organisms like pla...

Plant signaling & behavior
Nitrogen application could alleviate salt stress on crops, but the specific physiological mechanism is still unclear. Therefore, in this study, a pot experiment was conducted to explore the effects of different application rates of nitrogen (0, 0.15, 0.30, and 0.45 g·kg-1) on the growth parameters, osmotic adjustment, reactive oxygen species scaven...

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Despite the co-occurrence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) in the field, to date, knowledge on the bioremediation of benzene and benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) mixed contaminants is limited. In this study, the mechanisms underlying the biodegradation of benzene and BaP under individual and co-co...
