therapeutic action: mold growth inhibition

Intermittent low-dose far-UVC irradiation inhibits growth of common mold below threshold limit value

mycolabadmin

This study shows that a special type of ultraviolet light called far-UVC, operating at 222 nanometers, can effectively stop common household mold from growing. The light works best when it cycles on and off throughout the day, and importantly, the doses used are safe enough for people to be in the same room. This technology could help prevent mold problems in homes and hospitals without requiring chemicals or forcing people to leave the area.

Biocontrol of Aflatoxigenic Maize Molds Using Lactobacillus spp.-Based Formulations

mycolabadmin

This study shows that beneficial bacteria called Lactobacillus, found in traditional fermented foods like fura and gapal, can effectively reduce dangerous mold toxins (aflatoxins) in maize. Researchers tested these bacteria on contaminated maize samples and found they could reduce fungal contamination by up to 68% and completely eliminate some toxins. This natural approach offers a safer, cheaper alternative to chemical treatments while preserving food quality and safety.
