Application of low-fermenting yeast Lachancea thermotolerans for the control of toxigenic fungi Aspergillus parasiticus, Penicillium verrucosum and Fusarium graminearum and their mycotoxins
(
MDPI
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Mycotoxins are important contaminants of food and feed. In this study, low fermenting yeast (Lachancea thermotolerans) and its derivatives were applied against ...
Towards novel Cry toxins with enhanced toxicity/broader: a new chimeric Cry4Ba / Cry1Ac toxin
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2017 , Article)
Attempts have been made to express or to merge different Cry proteins in order to enhance toxic effects against various insects. Cry1A proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis form a typical bipyramidal parasporal crystal and ...
Investigation of Bacillus Thuringiensis Plasmid Instability and its Effect on the Synthesis of Crystals
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
In order to explore plasmid instability in Bt, four Bt strains belonging to two Bt subspecies were cultured at 42°C for 9 days. HD1 and QBT376 belong to subspecies kurstaki, while H14 and QBT218 belong to subspecies ...
Monitoring the presence and investigation of toxigenic fungi and mycotoxins in poultry feed and its products
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Contaminating poultry feed and their products with mycotoxins produced by fungi may cause many health effects on animals and human if they were at high concentrations. Therefore, it is imperative to regularly monitor the ...
Characterization of the Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) of Virgibacillus strains capable of mediating the formation of high Mg-calcite and protodolomite
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
The origin of dolomite -a common carbonate mineral- is the subject of an ongoing debate. It has been proposed that extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) excreted by microbes contain specific organic molecules that ...
Assessment of Anti-proliferative and Anti-bacterial Activity of a Desert Microalgal Strain Desmodesmus sp.
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Microalgae are believed to be a promising sources of different high value products (HVP). HVP are metabolites which are produced during the growth of microalgae and their production is triggered by the physiochemical growth ...
Biological Control of Mycotoxigenic Fungi and Ochratoxin A by The In-Vitro Application of a Qatari Burkholderia cepacia Strain (QBC03)
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites synthesized by mycotoxigenic fungi belonging mainly to three major fungal genera that are Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium. The latter mycotoxigenic fungi contaminate plants and ...
Biocontrol Activities of Bacillus megaterium Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Against Mycotoxigenic Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium fungi
(
Qatar University Press
, 2020 , Poster)
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites that are produced by toxigenic fungi once the temperature and humidity are appropriate. Mycotoxins are known to have adverse health effects. There are chemical, physical, thermal and ...
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ...
Isolation, screening and activity of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria from harsh soils
(
Avestia Publishing
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The study of microbial communities in relation to their ecology, interaction, and genetics must be covered in Qatar with special soil, weather and water. Microorganisms of an environment never having been exposed to such ...
