Biochar-Based Materials from Plant Waste: Physicochemical and Structural Characteristics, Zearalenone Binding in Vitro

Contamination of feed with zearalenone (ZEN) poses a threat to animal and human health, which drives interest in low-cost sorbents derived from plant waste. For non-activated biochars, the properties that govern ZEN binding remain not fully studied. A hypothesis was proposed stat...

Lignin Degradation Potential of Novel Streptomyces Isolates from the Juniperus turcomanica Rhizosphere via Broad-Spectrum Enzymatic Activities

This study provides a comprehensive characterization of Streptomyces isolates associated with the rhizosphere of the centenarian Juniperus turcomanica. Screening for ligninolytic activity revealed that isolates—ATM9, ATM14, ATM15, ATM16, ATM18, and ATM19 synthesize enzymes capabl...

Lysozyme-Based Microspherical Particles for Delivery of Nalidixic Acid: Preparation, Composition Optimization, and Solubility Study

Abstract The development of effective delivery systems for poorly soluble pharmaceuticals remains a critical challenge in modern pharmaceuticals. This study explores the use of lysozyme, a biopolymer with unique immunological and stabilizing properties, as a matrix for creating a...
