It is with the greatest of pleasures that I preface this book dedicated to the life and work of Professor John Marsden Goldsmid. John Goldsmid studied entomology at Rhodes University in South Africa, graduating with an M.Sc. based on finding the host behaviour of tick larvae.
In this scenario, the present book offers novel research insights recently published as a part of the Nanomaterials Special Issue Green Synthesis of Nanomaterials and Their Biological Applications, with the aim to provide an updated overview on the green synthesis of nanomaterials as well as on their possible practical uses in the fields of entomology, parasitology, biomedicine, and environment…
Currently, new health benefits of probiotics have been identified, and new strains with probiotic potential have been discovered and continue to be investigated. Likewise, prebiotics and their interaction with the microbiota have been the focus of research in human and animal health, as well as to counteract zoonotic pathogenic microorganisms. Probiotics and prebiotics can be found in food and …
