Newest firstHemp field retting is a bioprocess that facilitates fibre extraction by degrading pectin and other matrix components surrounding fibre bundles. However, traditional methods rely on empirical practices, often resulting in inconsistent fibre quality. This study investigates the biodiversity-function relationship in the hemp retting ecosystem to identify microbial and enzymatic indicators for improved process control…
Open article record in new tab ↗The article presents the impact of ecological additives on selected parameters and the microbiological distribution of marine engine oil (Marinol). With the development of industry and the automotive sector in general, it has become apparent that the problem of microbial contamination is still relevant and is becoming increasingly widespread. The author decided to investigate the impact of additives, namely silver…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabis plants are susceptible to microbial contamination, including fungi capable of producing harmful mycotoxins. The presence of these toxins in cannabis products poses serious health risks, especially when used for medical purposes in immunocompromised people. This study evaluated the presence of fungi and mycotoxins in dried cannabis buds following gamma irradiation, using culture-based techniques, PCR/qPCR,…
Proper retting process of hemp stems, in which efficient separation of cellulose fiber from the rest of the stem is promoted by indigenous microorganisms able to degrade pectin, is essential for fiber production and quality. This research aimed to investigate the effect of a pre-treatment dew retting in field of hemp stalks on the pectinolytic enzymatic activity and microbiota dynamic during lab-scale water rettin…
Open article record in new tab ↗Cannabinoid receptor ligands are renowned as being therapeutically crucial for treating diverse health disorders. Phenylspirodrimanes are meroterpenoids with unique and varied structural scaffolds, which are mainly reported from the Stachybotrys genus and display an array of bioactivities. In this work, 114 phenylspirodrimanes reported from Stachybotrys chartarum were screened for their CB2 agonistic potential usi…
Plant pathogens infecting marijuana (Cannabis sativa L.) plants reduce growth of the crop by affecting the roots, crown, and foliage. In addition, fungi (molds) that colonize the inflorescences (buds) during development or after harvest, and which colonize internal tissues as endophytes, can reduce product quality. The pathogens and molds that affect C. sativa grown hydroponically indoors (in environmentally contr…
Open article record in new tab ↗The gut microbiome of animals consists of diverse microorganisms that include both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Complex interactions occur among these inhabitants, as well as with the immune system of the host, and profoundly influence the overall health of both the host and its microbial symbionts. Despite the enormous importance for the host to regulate its gut microbiome, the extent to which animals generate imm…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer on earth, is an alternative for fossil fuels as a renewable feedstock for the production of second-generation biofuels and other chemicals. The discovery of novel, highly efficient β-glucosidases remains as one of the major bottlenecks for cellulose degradation. In this context, the ascomycete Talaromyces amestolkiae, isolated from cereal samples, has been studied…
