Abstract Numerous studies have shown that metagenomics has opened a dimension in reading the contents of archaeological remains as time capsules. Corn mummies are ritual objects from ancient Egypt, created by forming human-shaped figures from cereal grains grown in a mixture of water and earth. The aim of our study was to determine whether ancient DNA could be preserved in the mummy, and if so, which organisms it might have originated from.

1 Introduction Acrylates are synthetic, thermoplastic resins, widely used across various industrial, medical, and cosmetic applications. Polymerisation is a chemical reaction of monomers and their corresponding esters, occurring either spontaneously, under light emitting diode, ultraviolet (UV) light, using chemical initiators, accelerators or heat, etc. The monomers have significant allergic potential, in contrast to the polymers, which are inert substances [1-4].

Abstract Species belonging to the genus Argulus are globally distributed fish parasites. Their veterinary significance primarily lies in their disruptive presence and their role as mechanical vectors. Although Argulus japonicus Thiele, 1900 is a widely distributed representative of this genus that feeds on freshwater fish, only Argulus foliaceus (Linnaeus, 1758) had previously been reported in Hungary.
