    Abstract The introduction of fish skin as a biological dressing for treating burns and wounds holds great promise, offering an alternative to existing management strategies. However, the risk of disease transmission is a significant concern. Therefore, this study aimed to examine how established sterilization and preservation procedures affected fish skin grafts' microbiological and histological properties for long-term usage. Lyophilization of the fish skin graft followed by rehydration in normal saline for 15 min did not change the collagen content. Furthermore, gamma irradiation of the lyophilized fish skin graft at different lengths 5, 10, and 25 KGy showed a significant reduction in microbial growth (aerobic bacteria, aerobic yeasts, and fungi) at 15- and 30 days after the irradiation. However, exposure to 10 KGy was found to be the most effective intensity among the different gamma irradiation lengths since it preserved the collagen fiber content and intensity in the lyophilized fish skin grafts at 15- and 30 days after the irradiation. These findings provide efficient preservation and sterilization methods for long-term usage of the fresh Tilapia skin grafts used for biological dressings.

    Abstract Kojic acid is a wonderful fungal secondary metabolite that has several applications in the food, medical, and agriculture sectors. Many human diseases become resistant to normal antibiotics and normal treatments. We need to search for alternative treatment sources and understand their mode of action. Aspergillus flavus ASU45 (OL314748) was isolated from the caraway rhizosphere as a non-aflatoxin producer and identified genetically using 18S rRNA gene sequencing. After applying the Box-Behnken statistical design to maximize KA production, the production raised from 39.96 to 81.59 g/l utilizing (g/l) glucose 150, yeast extract 5, KH

    Abstract Collagen integrity should be considered on using a sterilizing agent for fish skin grafts. This study defined the optimal concentration of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) for sterilization of fish skin grafts without disrupting collagen content based on microbiological and histological evaluation. Strips of tilapia skin (n = 5) were randomly allocated to be immersed in Ag NPs solution at different concentrations of 25, 50, 100, and 250 µg/mL, respectively, for 5 min. The treated skin strips underwent bacteriological and histological evaluation. Yeast and fungi were more sensitive to Ag NPs than bacteria. On increasing the nanoparticles concentration, the total counts of aerobic bacteria decrease giving 933.3 ± 28.67, 601 ± 27.66, 288 ± 16.8, 15 ± 4.08 (CFU/cm

    Abstract By increasing the environmental pollution, crop losses, and side effects of chemically synthesized vitamins; new vitamin sources should be included. Through this study, we introduce novel riboflavin bacterial producer Novosphingobium panipatense-SR3 (MT002778) and tested various nutritional factors with interactions effects on the production abilities. Yeast extract, maltose, and glycine were the best nitrogen, carbon, and amino acid sources for enhancing the production, respectively. The interaction between the previous factors with three concentrations of each (+, 0, -) studied statistically using Box-Behnken statistical quadric design 13- run. The perfect interaction increases the production to 497.12 mg/l (predicted 489.45 mg/l) using 30 g/l maltose, 10 g/l yeast extract, and 1 g/l glycine.

    Abstract AIM: This study aims to use fermentation waste of ethanol production (solid and liquid) for riboflavin and recycling of bacterial biomass as biofertilizers to enhance the growth of some oily crop plants. METHODS AND RESULTS: Out of 10 yeast isolates from fresh milk, Clavispora lusitaniae ASU 33 (MN583181) was able to ferment different concentrations of glucose (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) into ethanol with high efficiency at 10%. Among seven non‐Lactobacillus bacterial isolates recovered from cheese samples, two bacterial isolates Bacillus subtlis‐SR2 (MT002768) and Novosphingobium panipatense‐SR3 (MT002778) were selected for their high riboflavin production. Different media (control medium, fermentation waste medium and a mixture of the fermentation waste medium and control medium [1:1]) were used for riboflavin production. These media were inoculated by a single or mixture of B. subtlis‐SR2, N. panipatense‐SR3. The addition of the waste medium of ethanol production to the control medium (1:1) had a stimulatory effect on riboflavin production whether inoculated with either a single strain or a mixture of B. subtlis‐SR2 and N. panipatense‐SR3. A mixture of fermentation waste and control media inoculated with N. panipatense produced a high riboflavin yield in comparison with other media. Inoculation of Zea mays and Ocimum basilicum plants with either the bacterial biomass waste of riboflavin production (B. subtlis or N. panipatense) or a mixture of B. subtlis and N. panipatense) shows a stimulatory effect on the plant growth in comparison with control (uninoculated plants). CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate the possibility of minimizing the cost of riboflavin and biofertilizer manufacturing via interlinking ethanol and riboflavin with the biofertilizer production technology. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: This study outlines the methods of evaluating the strength of spent media by applying procedures developed in the vitamin production industries. Furthermore, bacterial biomass waste can act as an environmentally friendly alternative for agrochemicals.

    Abstract A cerium-based metal-organic framework (Ce-MOF, denoted as AU-1) was synthesized using a solvothermal method by employing 4,4',4''-nitrilotribenzoic acid (H3NTB) as the linker and cerium clusters as the metal center. The material was considered as a MOFzyme based on the peroxidase-like activity of Ce-MOF that could eliminate and kill fungi, such as Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus terreus, Candida albicans, and Rhodotorula glutinis. Ce-MOF showed high antifungal activity against airborne opportunistic human pathogens isolated from the outside of a hospital. The antifungal activity of CeMOF was evaluated using the colony-forming units, dry mass method, soluble proteins, and microscopic imaging. It exhibited an inhibition efficiency of 93.3-99.3% based on the colony-forming unit method. The Ce-MOF caused extensive deformation of the conidiophores, vesicles, and phialides with growth inhibition between 7.55-77.41% (based on the dry mass method). Ce-MOF showed different efficiencies in inhibiting the different fungal species. The biological activity of Ce-MOF was due to its enzymatic activity, such as those of antioxidants, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and peroxidase. Ce-MOF exhibited excellent enzymatic activity towards the fungal cells. Our results may facilitate the design of a MOFzyme system and pave the way for more profound applications of nanozymes.
