ActinOmics: bioprospecting and genomics of actinobacteria isolated from the Marchica lagoon
The massive and excessive use of antibiotics in medicine has led to the emergence and spread of multi-resistant pathogens, rendering treatment with the usual antibiotics ineffective. Added to this phenomenon of antibiotic resistance is the emergence of new infectious diseases, often zoonotic, in humans. Hence the ...

BioDeTox - Microbial reduction of zearalenone, a grain-relevant mycotoxin
Wheat is one of the world's most important staple foods and offers high nutritional value, especially as a whole grain. Especially with crops such as wheat, food safety faces a major challenge due to mould infestation: an estimated 25 % of all crops worldwide are infested with moulds, including species that form ...
