Microbial detoxification of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol Universiteit Gent
Microbial detoxification of deoxynivalenol (DON), assessed via a Lemna minor L. bioassay, through biotransformation to 3-epi-DON and 3-epi-DOM-1 Universiteit Gent

Rhodotorula kratochvilovae outperforms Cutaneotrichosporon oleaginosum in the valorisation of lignocellulosic wastewater to microbial oil Universiteit Antwerpen
Rhodotorula kratochvilovae has shown to be a promising species for microbial oil production from lignin-derived compounds. Yet, information on R. kratochvilovae’s detoxification and microbial oil production is scarce. This study investigated the growth and microbial oil production on the phenolic-containing effluent from poplar steam explosion and its detoxification with five R. kratochvilovae strains (EXF11626, EXF9590, EXF7516, EXF3697, ...
Biogeochemical impacts of fish farming on coastal sediments Universiteit Antwerpen
Fish farming in sea cages is a growing component of the global food industry. A prominent ecosystem impact of this industry is the increase in the downward flux of organic matter, which stimulates anaerobic mineralization and sulfide production in underlying sediments. When free sulfide is released to the overlying water, this can have a toxic effect on local marine ecosystems. The microbially-mediated process of sulfide oxidation has the ...
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor blockers increase tolerance of cells to copper and cisplatin KU Leuven
The human pathology Wilson disease (WD) is characterized by toxic copper (Cu) accumulation in brain and liver, resulting in, among other indications, mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis of hepatocytes. In an effort to identify novel compounds that can alleviate Cu-induced toxicity, we screened the Pharmakon 1600 repositioning library using a Cu-toxicity yeast screen. We identified 2 members of the drug class of Angiotensin II Type 1 receptor ...
The Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota of Hyperaccumulator Plants: Small Organisms, Large Influence Universiteit Hasselt
Hyperaccumulator plants can take up large amounts of metals in their shoots without showing significant signs of toxicity. This makes hyperaccumulators ideal candidates for metal phytoremediation and phytomining. Hyperaccumulation of metals does not only depend on the bioavailability of the metals in soil and the expression of detoxification genes and metal transporters provided by the plant, but also on the plant-associated microbiota. Studies ...
Applying meta-pathway analyses through metagenomics to identify the functional properties of the major bacterial communities of a single spontaneous cocoa bean fermentation process sample Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A high-resolution functional metagenomic analysis of a representative single sample of a Brazilian spontaneous cocoa bean fermentation process was carried out to gain insight into its bacterial community functioning. By reconstruction of microbial meta-pathways based on metagenomic data, the current knowledge about the metabolic capabilities of bacterial members involved in the cocoa bean fermentation ecosystem was extended. Functional ...
Microbiome Heritability and Its Role in Adaptation of Hosts to Novel Resources KU Leuven
Microbiomes are involved in most vital processes, such as immune response, detoxification, and digestion and are thereby elementary to organismal functioning and ultimately the host's fitness. In turn, the microbiome may be influenced by the host and by the host's environment. To understand microbiome dynamics during the process of adaptation to new resources, we performed an evolutionary experiment with the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus ...
