Bioproduction of xylitol by oleaginous yeast yarrowia lipolytica.

Thomas, Dominic James (Cranfield UniversitySWEE, 2020-01)

Xylitol is a commercially important chemical with multiple applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. According to the US Department of Energy, xylitol is one of the top twelve platform chemicals that can ...
Ecophysiological approaches to enhance production of the anti-cancer drug taxol by paraconiothyrium variabile and epiccocum nigrum and lysozyme by pichia pastoris

Somjaipeng, Supunnika (Cranfield University, 2013-07)

This study has investigated the interaction of ecophysiological factors such as water activity (aw), temperature, pH and solute types on (a) the production of the anti-cancer drug taxol by the endophytic fungi Parachoniothyrium ...
Ecophysiology and water relations of growth and ochratoxin A production by Penicillium verrucosum adn Aspergillus westerdijkiae, impacts of climate change and control using preservatives.

Abdel Mohsen, Shaimaa Ibrahim (2019)

Penicillium verrucosum and Aspergillus westerdijkiae contaminate cereal grains and coffee beans with ochratoxin A (OTA) for which legislative limits exist. These fungi reside in soil and contaminate grain during harvesting ...
Fungal diversity, pest damage and biocontrol of aflatoxins in GM and conventional Brazilian maize cultivars under existing and future climate change scenarios.

Marcon Gasperini, Alessandra (Cranfield UniversitySWEE, 2018-11)

This study (a) evaluated the fungal biodiversity, toxigenic mycobiota and mycotoxin profiles associated with conventional (non-GM) and genetically modified (GM) isogenic maize cultivars (cvs) from Brazil, (b) studied the ...
Fungal interactions and control of aflatoxins in maize, pre-and post-harvest under different climate change scenarios.

Rodriguez Sixtos Higuera, Alicia (2017-03)

Aspergillus flavus is a ubiquitous fungus that contaminates maize, the main risk from infection is the production of the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁). One strategy to control A. flavus contamination is the ...
Identification of volatile organic compounds (vocs) as biomarkers of potato rots during cold storage and ecophysiological study of the pathogens involved.

Gutierrez-Pozo, Maria (Cranfield UniversitySWEE, 2021-03)

Potato tubers are stored for up to ten months. Therefore, controlling the conditions (temperature and relative humidity) in the storage environment is essential to reduce the risk of appearance of potato diseases. ...
Impact of ecophysiological factors on biocontrol of aflatoxin contamination of maize by atoxigenic aspergillus flavus strains

Mohale, Sejakhosi Alexis (Cranfield University, 2013-10)

This study has (a) evaluated the biodiversity in toxigenic mycobiota associated with maize from subsistence farmers’ stores in five climatic regions of Lesotho in two seasons, (b) compared the effect of ecophysiological ...
Metabolites of lactic acid bacteria (Labs) from Malaysian fermented foods and a streptomyces SP. for control of fungal growth and mycotoxin production.

Mohd Danial, Azlina Binti (Cranfield UniversitySWEE, 2018-11)

This study examined metabolites produced by (a) lactic acid bacteria (LABs) from Malaysian fermented foods and (b) from a Streptomyces AS1 strain on the control of human fungal pathogens (Trichophyton rubrum, Aspergillus ...
Optimising the use of biocontrol agents to improve the control of botrytis cinerea in key vegetable and fruit crops.

Tut, Gurkan (Cranfield UniversitySWEE, 2019-07)

For sustainable agriculture, efficient usage of biocontrol agents (BCAs) is crucial. As BCAs are living organisms effective biocontrol ability is governed by complex ecological processes. Because of this, biocontrol of ...
Potential for control of spoilage and mycotoxigenic species using mixtures of anti-oxidants, aliphatic acids and molecular approaches using RNAi

Leite, Goncalo M. (Cranfield University, 2013-01)

In recent years, consumer perceptions are that they would like minimum levels of preservatives or even preservative free food. However, this leads to higher risks of microbial spoilage problems, especially due to growth ...
Understanding the resilience of soil beneficials to combat apple replant disease (ARD).

Cook, Christopher (2022-09)

Apple Replant Disease (ARD), caused by an accumulation of soil-borne fungal and oomycete pathogens in the soil, is an economically important disease of apples. Current management relies on the use of broad-spectrum chemical ...
