sciforum-074555	Protein Characterization, Functional Annotation, Active Site Analysis of Novel Uncharacterized Conserved Protein of Bacteroides xylanisolvens: An In Silico Approach ^† Mohammed Emon Submitted: 26 Aug 2023 Abstract: Show Abstract	Mohammed Emon	N/A	N/A	Show Abstract
Bacteroides xylanysolvens is a gram-negative, anaerobic rod alongside xylan-degrading bacterium identified from human feces samples. An In silico technique can help us better comprehend the uncharacterized protein of Bacteroides xylanysolvens (accession ID: CUN90054) by examining its functional annotations, identification, and structural characterization. In silico pathways are used to investigate the protein's physiochemical properties, functional annotation, structure prediction, active site analysis, and sub-cellular localization. The annotated hypothetical protein is connected to Metal-independent alpha-mannosidase (MIAM) including both bacterial and fungal glycoside hydrolases (GH125), according to the current study. This finding may be of considerable relevance to future bacterial genetics research.
sciforum-080077	Microbial Heat Shock Proteins: Roles other than Just Stress Proteins Dr. Jasleen Kour , Dr. B. V. Sunil Kumar Submitted: 25 Aug 2023 Abstract: Show Abstract	Dr. Jasleen Kour , Dr. B. V. Sunil Kumar	N/A	N/A	Show Abstract
Heat Shock Proteins are so named stress proteins or stress molecules due to their secretion triggered by stress encountered by living beings. Although their primary documented role has been maintaining and regulating protein conformations to reduce effects of aberrant conditions faced by the host, heat shock proteins have been found to have therapeutic effects in treatments of many diseases and conditions. Those derived from certain bacteria, in particular, have been found to have high immunomodulatory potential and are being considered as adjuvants and immunostimulators in immunocompromised individuals. Extensive research has been done establishing their role as potential vaccine antigens or epitopes targeted in cancer therapies. Certain neuropathies and assumed incurable auto immune diseases have also seen light in terms of therapeusis mediated by heat shock proteins. This review focuses on giving an extensive study about multiple moonlighting roles of heat shock proteins derived from microorganisms, at molecular level, which are being used to immunize and treat diseases in many mammalian species, including humans.
sciforum-080062	Antimicrobial properties of select plant species within the Asteraceae Family Randriatsalama Angelo , Njakarinala RANARIVELO , Vahinalahaja RAZAFINTSALAMA , Rianatiana Hasina RANAIVOARISOA, Submitted: 25 Aug 2023 Abstract: Show Abstract	Randriatsalama Angelo , Njakarinala RANARIVELO , Vahinalahaja RAZAFINTSALAMA , Rianatiana Hasina RANAIVOARISOA,	N/A	N/A	Show Abstract
The Asteraceae family stands as the largest among flowering plants, encompassing over 1,600 genera grouped into 17 tribes and distributed across the globe. 25,000 different plant species are represented in the global distribution, 750 of which are native to Madagascar. Among the flowers and leaves of numerous plants within this family, reports have surfaced about their potential antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. This has led to their integration into traditional medicinal practices. This particular research aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of 12 native plants from the Asteraceae family. These included 11 species from the Helichrysum genus and one species from the Catatia genus. Their efficacy was tested against 11 bacterial strains. The methodology employed the liquid microdilution technique to establish the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the crude methanolic extracts obtained from each plant. The findings unveiled that all 12 plant species exhibited MIC values ranging from 0.125 to 1 mg/ml, while their MBC values ranged from 0.25 to 4 mg/ml. This demonstrated their effectiveness against a range of bacterial strains, encompassing two Gram-negative strains (E. cloacae and P. mirabilis) as well as four Gram- positive strains (L. monocytogenes, B. cereus, B. megaterium, and S. pneumoniae). These results underscore the potent antibacterial attributes of Asteraceae species. In order to fully harness their therapeutic potential, future investigations could delve into identifying the specific molecules responsible for these activities.
sciforum-080007	*Potential Probiotic Bacillus* Strains Isolated from Contaminated Soil in North Macedonia: Salmonella Growth Inhibition** Sofija Kostandinovska , Dzoko Kungulovski , Natalija Atanasova-Pancevska Submitted: 24 Aug 2023 Abstract: Show Abstract	Sofija Kostandinovska , Dzoko Kungulovski , Natalija Atanasova-Pancevska	N/A	N/A	Show Abstract
Salmonellosis, which occurs most frequently (85%) as a result of consuming contaminated food, is brought on by salmonellae, which are bacteria that can infect both humans and animals. By assisting with the absorption of some critical nutrients, probiotics have the potential to exert growth-promoting effects by competitively excluding pathogens and boosting feed conversion rates. In the prevention and treatment of Salmonella illnesses, probiotics are seen as an alternative to antibiotics. To utilize probiotica as previously suggested, it is necessary to thoroughly assess their features and choose the bacteria that will work best for the intended purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the probiotic properties of three Bacillus spp. strains isolated from contaminated soil in North Macedonia and their antimicrobial activity against Salmonella enterica ATCC 10708 using the agar-well diffusion method. For identification, isolates were characterized morphologically and biochemically. Additionally, their ability to survive in the presence of bile salts and at low pH, high osmotic concentrations of NaCl and their susceptibility to antibiotics were examined. The capacity of isolates to metabolize various sources of carbohydrates was also assessed. Each tested strain demonstrated antagonistic activity against Salmonella enterica ATCC 10708. The three different Bacillus strains were all resilient to an acidic environment (pH 3.0) and a high osmotic pressure (NaCl at 6.5%). This research indicates that new Bacillus strains' probiotic qualities are also promising and exhibit strong inhibition activity against Salmonella enterica ATCC 10708.
sciforum-080005	Evaluation of the effects of food safety training on the microbiological load present in equipment’s, surfaces, utensils, and food manipulator`s hands in restaurants Miguel Castro , Kamila Soares , Carlos Ribeiro , Alexandra Esteves Submitted: 24 Aug 2023 Abstract: Show Abstract	Miguel Castro , Kamila Soares , Carlos Ribeiro , Alexandra Esteves			Show Abstract
Restaurants are a place were a lot of people go to have a delicious meal and have a good time however it’s in the hands of the restaurant staff to proportionate that good environment and ensure the tasty meals are microbiologically safe. Food training comes a long way in this regard to help give that quality to the consumer but there is a lot of restaurants that the workers don’t have the proper training for handling food or to keep the establishment food safe. This study was aimed to proportionate the knowledge of food safety and to help the workers follow the right path. It was evaluated if the training given to the food manipulators was helpful and had a significant impact in reducing the load of microbiological contamination present during the work. For the present work were carried out four moments of analyses at four restaurants, two moments analyses were done before food safety training and the other two were done after food safety training. In each visit, thirty-two swabs were performed from the equipment’s, surfaces, and utensils all together and eight swabs were performed of four manipulators (right and left hand). Also, we evaluated the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in drains using absorbent sponges. This study analysed mesophilic microorganisms in Plate Count Agar® (PCA), Enterobacteriaceae in Violet Red Bile Glucose Agar® (VRBG), Escherichia coli in Tryptone Bile X-Glucuronide Agar® (TBX), Staphylococcus aureus in Baird Park Agar® (BP) and Listeria monocytogenes in Chromagar Listeria and enrichment medium Fraser I and Fraser II. The results were analysed based on the microbial criteria of Pablo., B. Moragas, M. (2013) K. Soares et al. (2019) and Labović et al. (2023) It was evaluated global hygienic conditions among the four restaurants. Of the 208 swabs performed, before food safety training, to equipment’s, surfaces, and utensils, 15% of the results for Enterobacteriaceae and 26% of the results for mesophilic microorganisms weren’t compliant with the hygienic safety limits and for the 64 swabs done to the hands of the food manipulators 31% of the Enterobacteriaceae and 64% of the mesophilic values were well above the safe limits. In this study we also searched for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in the drains of 4 restaurants turning out 25% of the analysis to be positive. After the training the presence of Listeria monocytogenes on the drains was absent. Using Statistica software we determined the existence of significative positive differences when comparing the analysis before training and after training with p-values below 0.05. On average across the 4 restaurants there was a reduction of more than 90% of the load of microorganisms like Enterobacteriaceae and Mesophilic microorganisms on the surfaces referred above and on the manipulator’s hands. With these results we can conclude that food safety training is vital in the food industry, mainly, in catering units. There is always something new that the food handlers can learn, and it can have a huge impact in serving meals with a better quality and safety. *Acknowledgments: This work was supported by National Funds from FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, under the projects UIDB/CVT/00772/202,* and LA/P/0059/2020 and UIDB/04033/2020.
