Biofouling. 2024 Apr 7:1-10. doi: 10.1080/08927014.2024.2338106. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between dysbiotic microbiota biofilm and colon cancer has recently begun to attract attention. In the study, the apitherapeutic effects of bee products (honey, bee venom, royal jelly, pollen, perga and propolis) obtained from the endemic Yığılca ecotype of Apis mellifera anatoliaca were investigated. Antibiofilm activity were performed by microplate assay using crystal violet staining to measure adherent biofilm biomass of Escherichia coli capable of forming biofilms.

The relationship between oxidative stress and apoptosis of histopathological changes in the ovary made by mad honey containing grayanotoxin
Food Chem Toxicol. 2024 Apr 4:114634. doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114634. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to determine the effects of grayanotoxin in mad honey on ovarian tissue folliculogenesis in terms of cell death and nitric oxide expression. Three groups of 18 female Sprague-Dawley rats were formed. The first group received mad honey (80 mg/kg), the second group received normal honey (80 mg/kg), and the third group was the control. The first and second groups received normal and mad honey by oral gavage for 30 days before being sacrificed under anesthesia. Caspase 3 immunostaining showed a moder...

Prospects of probiotics in beekeeping: a review for sustainable approach to boost honeybee health
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 4;206(5):205. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03926-4.ABSTRACTHoneybees are vital for global crop pollination, making indispensable contributions to agricultural productivity. However, these vital insects are currently facing escalating colony losses on a global scale, primarily attributed to parasitic and pathogenic attacks. The prevalent response to combat these infections may involve the use of antibiotics. Nevertheless, the application of antibiotics raises concerns regarding potential adverse effects such as antibiotic resistance and imbalances in the gut microbiota of bees. In response to these chall...

In vitro degradation and antibacterial activity of bacterial cellulose deposited flax fabric reinforced with polylactic acid and polyhydroxybutyrate
The objective of this study was to prepare biocomposites through the solution casting method followed by compression moulding in which bacterial cellulose (BC) deposited flax fabric (FF) produced through fermentation is coated with minimal amount of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Biocomposites incorporated with 60 % of PLA or PHB (% w/w) show enhanced tensile strength. Cross-sectional morphology showed good superficial interaction of these biopolymers with fibres of FF thereby filling up the gaps present between the fibres. The tensile strength of biocomposites at 60 % PLA and 60 % PHB improved from 3...

Standardization of honey as a tissue fixative for histopathology: A morphometric study
Conclusion: Honey is a better nuclear fixative than formalin. Cytoplasmic shrinkage of epithelial cells should be taken into consideration while fixing tissues with honey.Key Words: Epithelial cells, fixative, formalin, honey, tissue fixation  Highlight B.

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1588: Investigations of Major & alpha;-Dicarbonyl Content in U.S. Honey of Different Geographical Origins
This study aims to assess the concentrations of &amp;alpha;-dicarbonyls in honey samples from different regions across the United States. The identification and quantification of &amp;alpha;-dicarbonyls were conducted using reverse-phase liquid chromatography after derivatization with o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and detected using ultraviolet (UV) and mass spectrometry methods. This study investigated the effects of pH, color, and derivatization reagent on the presence of &amp;alpha;-dicarbonyls in honey. The quantification method was validated by estimating the linearity, precision, recovery, method limit of dete...
