PLoS ONE, 2014 Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL OXIDATION OF DISPERSED OIL IN SEAWATER
Water Science and Technology, 1988 With an understanding of the different physical, chemical and biological weathering processes, a series of laboratory experiments were conducted to describe biological and chemical oxidation processes at realistically low concentrations of physically and chemically dispersed oil in seawater by incubating living and sterilized samples spiked with oil ...

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

The Immobilization of Hyaluronic Acid in 3D Hydrogel Scaffolds Modulates Macrophage Polarization
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.This study explores the use of collagen‐hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels for the 3D culture of macrophages, providing a useful tool for modelling macrophage behavior in tissues and diseases. It highlights how hydrogel composition, mechanical properties, and preparation methods influence macrophage behavior, revealing for the first time that HA's ...

Driver's Seat: Understanding Divergent Zoochorous Dispersal of Propagules
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The functional role, relative importance, and the spatial and temporal parameters of different vector species, which underpin the passive dispersal (zoochory) of organisms (or their propagules), are frequently poorly understood. Accordingly, a conceptual

Inverse Problems of Spectroturbidimetry of Biological Disperse Systems: An Overview
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 1999 The obtainment of stable solutions of inverse problems for studying the disperse composition of suspensions using effects of elastic light scattering was discussed. Versions of a regularization of solving the inverse problems of the spectroturbidimetric method were considered, taking into account unavoidable restrictions on the scope of the necessary ...
