Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) spherical parasporal crystal contains several insecticidal proteins used as environmentally safe alternative to toxic chemical pesticides. The exploration of a Bti strain ...

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) plays an important role in health and agriculture due to its insecticidal activities. In this study, six Bt strains isolated from Qatar soil were used to explore their crystals morphologies and ...

This study was designed to investigate the antifungal activity of Bacillus pumilus 344-3 against toxigenic fungi. In vitro co-incubation assay revealed that A. carbonarius AC82, A. niger AN8 and P. digitatum PD43 are most ...

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of some fungal species and represent important contaminants of food and feed. This study aimed to explore the biological control activity of Bacillus megaterium BM344-1 volatile organic ...

To overcome the partial or complete failure of oil hydrocarbon bioremediation due to weathering processes, occurring in most oil producing and spilling areas, nutritional requirements of the most widely used bacterium, ...

To overcome the economic losses associated with fungi and their toxic metabolites, environmentally safe and efficient approaches are needed. To this end, biological control using yeasts and safe bacterial strains and their ...

In order to overproduce bioinsecticides production by a sporeless Bacillus thuringiensis strain, an optimal composition of a cheap medium was defined using a response surface methodology. In a first step, a Plackett-Burman ...

Fungal infection and synthesis of mycotoxins in coffee leads to significant economic losses. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of toxigenic fungi, their metabolites, and the effect of traditional roasting and ...

The presence of mycotoxins in food and feed is a significant issue, especially in fish farming where it can negatively impact farmed fish species. In this study, samples of aquaculture feed and fishes tissues were collected ...

This study assessed the bacteriocin-producing capability of 140 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated from Qatar. Numerous Bt strains exhibited strong antibacterial activity against both the foodborne pathogen B. ...
