preferably disposable absorbent articles like sanitary napkins and pantiliners, which comprise spore-forming lactic acid-producing microorganisms, preferably the species These articles have the ability to exhibit long lasting antagonistic properties against undesirable strains of microorganisms, typically long last...
In contrast to the adverse effects of many spore-forming bacteria, some nonpathogenic strains of these microorganisms recently have found attraction in their use as probiotics on the basis of their beneficial and functional properties. Future research has to be performed in this field, due to the...
(20-times cell length per second) is typical for a chytrid. Zoospores can swim for many hours in a culture dish or glass microscope chamber. They spend most of the time swimming in straight lines or following circular paths. Unlike the flagellate cells of many other eukaryotic microorganisms,...
(i.e., the clade comprising Metazoa, Choanoflagellatea, and Filasterea)16, the sister group to the rest of Holozoa17,18, or as the sister group to Corallochytrea forming what is known as the Teretosporea clade19,20,21,22. Further taxon sampling across Holozoa is needed to decipher ...
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sporulation inhibiting and spore germination inhibiting agent enabling the sterilization and preservation of a food, etc., contaminated with microorganisms forming heat-resistant spore by a treatment of the level of cold sterilization avoiding the conventional hot steri...
A number of microorganisms from different groups (e.g.,Lactobacillus,Bifidobacterium,Enterococcus) have been evaluated for their functional use. As demand for probiotics has grown, so has the range of delivery systems expanded into more types of functional foods. However, most of them lose the via...
The Dictyosteliomycota are the cellular slime molds or “social amoebae” and are among the most bizarre of microorganisms. These members of the Protista are free-living amoebae with no cell walls, indistinguishable from garden-variety amoebae until they begin to run out of food. At that poi...
(2) the interactions with other microorganisms, (3) the early events of infection, which include rhizosphere-mediated attraction, adhesion and aggregation at the site of infection. We also draw some possible developments that would increase the understanding of the mechanisms underlying zoospores ...
