Essential oils (EOs) are complex chemical matrices on which whole cell biotransformations have not had much success due to their well-known antimicrobial activities. The approach in this work is to use endophytic microorganisms ...

The profile of volatile compounds from the aerial parts of Eupatorium buniifolium was assessed by capturing the aroma of fresh plants using three commercial SPME phases. These headspace solid phase microextraction procedures ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces biofilm and several virulence factors coordinated by quorum sensing (QS) in food. The interruption of QS is a target to control the bacterial virulence. Chemical preservatives used to control ...

The sterile insect technique is currently used to control the fruit fly pest, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann. The problem with this technique is a decreased sexual competitiveness of the sterile males. We tested the semiochemical ...

The distribution and ultrastructure of capitate glandular trichomes (GTs) in Flourensia species (Asteraceae) have been recently elucidated, but their metabolic activity and potential biological function remain unexplored. ...

Organic peroxy radicals (RO2) play a pivotal role in the degradation of hydrocarbons. Theautoxidation of atmospheric RO2 radicals produces highly oxygenated organic molecules(HOMs), including low-volatility ROOR dimers ...
