Food packaging is multifunctional: it protects from harvest to table. Four main groups of
materials for direct food contact are mentioned in the literature: wood, glass, plastic, and …

Biofilm formation and microbial adhesion are two related and complex phenomena. These
phenomena are known to play an important role in microbial life and various functions with …

In the current study, two molds, Aspergillus flavus (ACC# LC325160) and Penicillium
chrysogenum (ACC# LC325162) were inoculated into two types of wood to be examined …

Optically pure lactic acid (LA) is needed in PLA (poly-lactic acid) production to build a
crystalline structure with a higher melting point of the biopolymer than that of the racemic …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) printed resins are increasingly being used in clinical
practice due to their simple processing, satisfactory biocompatibility, and mechanical …

Wood, as a contact surface, has been used for centuries but is usually questioned because
of its porosity and organic composition. It has natural antimicrobial properties and …

Bioactive compounds are naturally occurring substances that have the ability to have
physiological impacts on the human body. Due to their potential health advantages and their …

The resistance of microbial consortia to environmental challenges offers great stability to its
members. In this work, biofilms of heavy-metal resistant microbial consortia supported on …

Adhesion of bacteria is a key step in the functioning of antimicrobial surfaces or certain types
of on-line sensors. The subsequent removal of these bacteria, within a∼ 10–30 min time …

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of crude extracts of Thymus vulgaris on
wood surface physicochemical characteristics. Thus, the Lifshitz-van der Waals (), acid …
