In the scope of the young researcher's doctoral thesis in the economy Simon Guštin (Farma Ihan dd), we developed a procedure for removing ammoniacal nitrogen from anaerobically processed pig slurry. The process of nitrogen stripping through the exhaust port tower filled with plastic carriers, were tested in laboratory and pilot level, and was transferred to industrial scale

COBISS.SI-ID: 2786440Intestinal disorders can result from pathogens like bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses, but the causes remain to be elucidated. Disturbances to the normal gut flora are central to the development of many, if not all, of these disorders. Disturbed gut microbiota is a prelude to public health issues like traveller’s diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and colorectal cancers. This book discusses the way intestinal disorders affect the microbiota, how the disturbed microbiotal balance leads to enteric disorders and the ways to prevent these disorders

COBISS.SI-ID: 2826376Vitamin E is one of the most important inhibitors of lipid oxidation in animals. The aim of this study was to establish the effect of different vitamin E concentrations and isomers on oxidative stability of chicken meat. Vitamin E supplementations reduced lipid oxidation in meat in comparison to control groups. The supplementation of vitamin E in RRR85 and AllRac85 group was not able to prevent lipid oxidation in all treated meat samples but in AllRac200 group lipid oxidation was reduced in all samples. We confirmed that natural isomer of vitamin E has better activity than synthetic form

COBISS.SI-ID: 2763144Nisin is the most studied bacteriocin of lactic acid bacteria, typical for Lactococcus lactis sp. In the presentation the dynamics of 11 gene expression involved in the production of nisin by Lc. lactis M78 in model cheese was described. The presence of nisin in model cheese was confirmed also by biological assay. The work is important because it shows a new approach (RNA isolation, RT real-time PCR) for the study of bacteriocins in a complex environment such as food or digestive tract, which can be used also in studies of other bacteriocins.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2653832Microbiologists have laid foundations of environmental microbiology in Slovenia in the last 50 years and today this is a rapidly growing and important research field. Molecular techniques have prompted a revolution in the understanding of microbial ecology over the past fifteen years. However, a number of issues in the field of microbial ecology remain unanswered, e.g. we do not understand the effects of microbial diversity on ecosystem functioning or vice versa. These and other issues that are linked to microbial interactions in the environment remain a challenge for microbial ecologists.
