Biological Degradation of Spent Coffee Grounds by White Rot Fungi
Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are an extensively generated byproduct of coffee production and consumption. This study demonstrates the ability of white rot fungi to degrade SCG, achieving more than 40% carbohydrate reduction and producing active lignocellulose‐degrading enzymes, highlighting a potential biological approach for the valorization of this ...

Exploring the Antimicrobial Potential of Vanadium‐Based MXenes for Biomedical Applications
Vanadium‐based MXenes (V₂CTₓ and V₄C₃Tₓ) exhibit moderate antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus, mainly through mechanical “nano‐knife” membrane disruption rather than ROS generation. These nanomaterials show good biocompatibility and highlight the importance of standardized experimental models for evaluating MXene antimicrobial ...

Viruses and drinking water [PDF]
There is no evidence to indicate that there is a risk of acquiring a virus infection through the consumption of properly treated drinking water, provided the integrity of the distribution system is maintained and there is no post-treatment contamination.

Unveiling Marine Vesicle Uptake in Vibrio spp: Taxonomic and Environmental Insights
Extracellular vesicles are involved in diverse functions in nature from microbial interactions to pathogenesis. Here, we investigate whether taxonomy represents a boundary that constrains the uptake of vesicles between different marine bacteria including ubiquitous Vibrio spp. involved in marine organism diseases, such as corals.

Bacteriological water quality in the Bay of Quinte
Data collected by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) in 1981 and 1982, and by the local Health Unit in 1982, determined that Bay of Quinte waters in the vicinity of Trenton, Belleville, and Picton displayed zones of elevated fecal coliform (FC) levels as a result of unchlorinated urban discharges. These discharges appeared to be intermittent,

Pseudomonas strains R32 and R47 inhibit Phytophthora infestans, which causes late blight in potato. To assess the importance of pyoverdine, a high‐affinity siderophore both strains produce, in P. infestans inhibition, we produced pyoverdine‐deficient mutants and tested their antagonistic activity at different developmental stages of the pathogen ...

A large intracellular drug‐repurposing screen identifies a potent synergy between 5‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxycytidine and rifapentine, acting through dual host–pathogen targeting to reduce Staphylococcus aureus burdens across strains, cell types, and infection models (created with BioRender).
