Biosurfactant Production from Pineapple Waste and Application of Experimental Design and Statistical Analysis
Appl Biochem Biotechnol. 2022 Sep 9. doi: 10.1007/s12010-022-04159-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe use of non-conventional carbon sources for biosurfactant-producing microorganisms is a promising alternative in fermentation to substitute costly substrates. So, the current research used pineapple peel as a cost-effective and renewable substrate because of its rich composition in minerals and sugars and high availability. Following a 22 full factorial design, a bacterial strain of Bacillus subtilis produced biosurfactants in fermentative media containing different concentrations of glucose and concentrated pineapple pee...

Profiles of Odorant Specific Performance in Olfactory Testing
CONCLUSIONS: Identification and discrimination rates of specific odorants may provide unique information regarding the etiology of OD, however psychophysical testing is a complex interplay of olfactory and trigeminal function, the strength of target odorant, distractor choices, and familiarity with odorants.PMID:36069003 | DOI:10.1177/19458924221124692 (Source: American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy)

Effect of fruit smoothie supplementation on psychological distress among people with substance use disorders receiving opioid agonist therapy: protocol for a randomised controlled trial (FruktBAR)
This study will inform on the relative advantages or disadvantages of fruit supplementation in addition to the current medically and psychologically oriented treatment of people receiving opioid agonist therapy. If the supplementation is efficacious, it can be considered for further scale-up.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Registered 2022-02-08 in ClinicalTrials.gov , identifier NCT05229770.PMID:36057629 | DOI:10.1186/s40795-022-00582-z (Source: Cancer Control)

The genetic adaptations of Toxoptera aurantii facilitated its rapid multiple plant hosts dispersal and invasion
Genomics. 2022 Aug 30:110472. doi: 10.1016/j.ygeno.2022.110472. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTToxoptera aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe (Hemiptera: Aphididae) can attack many plant hosts, including tea (Camellia sinensis L.), citrus (Citrus spp.), lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.), banana (Musa spp.), and pineapple (Ananas comasus L.) among others. It is a widely distributed hexapod and one of the most destructive pests in tea plantations, causing enormous economic losses in tea production each year. A high-quality reference genome is important to study the phylogenetics and evolution of T. aurantii because its genome is highl...

Analysis of public domain plant transcriptomes expands the phylogenetic diversity of the family Secoviridae
AbstractSecoviruses are mono-/bipartite plant-infecting, icosahedral RNA viruses that incite economically important diseases in plants. In the present study, nine secoviruses tentatively named as Ananas comosus secovirus (AcSV), Artocarpus altilis secovirus (AaSV), Boehmeria nivea secovirus (BnSV), Gynostemma pentaphyllum secovirus (GpSV), Orobanche cernua secovirus (OcSV), Paris polyphylla secovirus 1 (PpSV1), Paris polyphylla secovirus 2 (PpSV2), Rhododendron delavayi secovirus (RdSV), and Yucca gloriosa secovirus (YgSV) were identified by probing publicly available transcriptomes of eight plant species. Coding-complete ...

Identification of a novel vitivirus from pineapple in Reunion Island
We report the complete genome sequence of a novel member of the genusVitivirus (familyBetaflexiviridae, subfamilyTrivirinae) infecting pineapple. The complete genome sequence of this virus was obtained from total RNA extracted from pineapple leaf samples collected in Reunion Island, using a combination of high-throughput sequencing technologies. The viral genome is 6,757 nt long, excluding the poly(A) tail, and shares all the hallmarks of vitiviruses. Phylogenetic analysis performed on the replication-associated protein and capsid protein gene sequences unambiguously place this new virus, for which we propose the name “p...
