| Abstract |
Bacterial contamination is one of the major challenges faced by yeast fermentation industries as the contaminating microorganisms produce lactic acid and acetic acid, which reduces the viability of yeast, and hence fermentation yields. The primary bacterial contaminants of yeast fermentations are lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study aims to identify potential natural antibacterial fractions from raw and pretreated lignocellulosic biomasses found in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in terms of LAB inhibition capacity, allowing growth of the yeast. The analysis was carried out using plating technique. Pretreatment liquid of the mangrove stem Avicennia marina hydrothermally pretreated at 210 °C exhibited the widest inhibition zone with an average diameter of 14.5 mm, followed by the pretreatment liquid of mangrove leaf pretreated at 190 °C, Salicornia bigelovii pretreated at 202 °C and rachis of date palm Phoenix dactylifera pretreated at 200 °C. The compounds responsible for the antibacterial activity will be characterized in further study. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2018.
All research outputs
#15,016,514
of 23,099,576 outputs
Outputs from AMB Express
#350
of 1,245 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#198,494
of 330,726 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AMB Express
#9
of 46 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,099,576 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,245 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 330,726 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 46 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
