Pellet diameter of ganoderma lucidum in a repeated-batch fermentation for the trio total production of biomass-exopolysaccharide-exopolysaccharid and its anti-oral cancer beta-glucan response
(AIMS, 2020-10-22)
The pellet morphology and diameter range (DR) of Ganoderma lucidum were observed in a
repeated-batch fermentation (RBF) for the trio total production of biomass, exopolysaccharide (EPS) and
endopolysaccharide (ENS). Two ...
Addressing challenges and opportunities of the European seafood sector under a circular economy framework.
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
The European seafood and aquaculture sectors are facing important challenges in terms of environmental threats (climate change, marine debris, resources depletion), social development (worker rights, consumer's awareness) ...
In-vivo toxicity of bioreactor-grown biomass and exopolysaccharides from Malaysian Tiger milk mushroom mycelius for potential future health applications
(Nature Research, 2021-08-12)
Natural mycelial biomass (MB) and exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced from bioreactor-grown Malaysian Tiger Milk Mushroom Lignosus rhinocerus are considered high-end components due to their high commercial potential value in ...
Integrative genomics of the mammalian alveolar macrophage response to intraceullular mycobacteria
(BMC, 2021)
Bovine TB (bTB), caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis, is a major endemic disease affecting
global cattle production. The key innate immune cell that first encounters the pathogen is the alveolar
macrophage, ...
Purified β‐glucans from the Shiitake mushroom ameliorates antibiotic‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae‐induced pulmonary sepsis
(Society for Applied Microbiology, 2020-07-24)
Bacterial infection remains the main cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome and is a leading cause of death and disability in critically ill patients. Here we report on the use of purified β‐glucan (lentinan) extracts ...
Development of a low-temperature extrusion process for production of GRAS bioactive-polymer loaded compounds for targeting antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria
(Elsevier, 2021-08-10)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised globally as one of the greatest threats to human and animal health; thus, discovery of alternative antibacterial agents to address AMR is a priority challenge. This study ...
The European media portrayal of climate change: implications for the social mobilization towards climate action
(MDPI, 2020-10-09)
Beyond other social actors, such as policymakers and scholars, common citizens are also expected to actively engage with climate change, by adopting sustainable actions and supporting environmental policies. However, and ...
β-Glucan extracts from the same edible shiitake mushroom Lentinus edodes produce differential in-vitro immunomodulatory and pulmonary cytoprotective effects — Implications for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) immunotherapies.
(Elsevier, 2020-05-11)
Coronavirus pneumonia is accompanied by rapid virus replication, where a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine storm may lead to acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and death. ...
Unlocking the surge in demand for personal and protective equipment (PPE) and improvised face coverings arising from coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic – Implications for efficacy, re-use and sustainable waste management
(Elsevier, 2021)
Currently, there is no effective vaccine for tackling the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 with the occurrence of repeat waves of infection frequently stretching hospital resources beyond capacity. Disease ...
