Reducing Ammonia Losses By Adding FeCI3 During Composting Of Sewage Sludge [PDF]
, 1999 The release of ammonia nitrogen during composting of sewage sludge mixed with a lignocellulosic bulking agent leads to a reduction in the agronomic value of the final compost and to harmful effects on the environment. We propose adding a cheap salt FeCl3

Over-expression of Tgs1 in Mycobacterium marinum enhances virulence in adult zebrafish
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020 Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), can persist in the host for decades without causing TB symptoms and can cause a latent infection, which is an intricate challenge of current TB control.

Eukaryogenesis From FECA to LECA: Radical Steps Along the Way
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.How did the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) population evolve? Recent evidence shows an Asgard archaeon‐like organism acquiring a bacterium, the future mitochondrion, going from symbiosis to endosymbiosis. I postulate that almost all salient LECA characteristics could have resulted from the ensuing enhanced ATP generation and internal reactive ...

Presence of multiple bacterial markers in clinical samples might be useful for presumptive diagnosis of infection in cirrhotic patients with culture-negative reports [PDF]
, 2016 Bacterial infections in cirrhotic patients with ascites are associated with a severe prognosis and an increased risk of death. The microbiological standard tests for the diagnosis of suspected infection, based on culture test of blood and ascitic fluid ...

The Role of the [2Fe‐2S] Cluster of Escherichia coli IscR in Responding to Redox‐Cycling Agents
Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 5, Page 433-448, November 2025.Redox cycling agents like phenazine methosulfate (PMS) are known for upsetting cellular redox balance. Here we describe how PMS leads to upregulation of the ISC and SUF Fe‐S cluster biogenesis pathways in Escherichia coli when PMS oxidizes the [2Fe‐2S]1+ cluster of the transcription factor IscR, thereby derepressing the operon encoding ISC and, when a ...
