Under-ice environmental conditions, planktonic communities and ichthyofauna in dystrophic lakes
High content of humic substances and low pH values are factors limiting the species richness and abundance of some organisms in dystrophic lakes. Unfavourable winter conditions (i.e.

Wall Drag on Free-Moving Ciliated Micro-Organisms [PDF]
It is generally assumed that wall drag on free-moving, self-propelled or passively moving micro-organisms is not significant under normal observation conditions. Yet the point at which such drag becomes significant has not been determined quantitatively.

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Structure and dynamics of the protoplankton community in an environmentally protected urban stream [PDF]
We aimed to investigate spatial and temporal scales, abundance, and factors that structure the communities of protozoans in a tropical urban stream. Methods: Samples of water for analysis of biological communities (testate amoebae, ciliates and bacteria)

Objectives Evaluate the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in paediatric patients with active JIA‐U or chronic anterior ANA‐positive uveitis, who had an inadequate response to MTX or bDMARDs. Methods JUVE‐BRIGHT was an open‐label, active‐controlled, Phase‐3 multicentre trial which utilized a novel design, including 1:1 randomization to an active ...

Assessment of the microbial communities associated with white syndrome and brown jelly syndrome in aquarium corals [PDF]
Bacterial and ciliate assemblages associated with aquarium corals displaying white syndrome (WS) and brown jelly syndrome (BJS) were investigated. Healthy (n = 10) and diseased corals (WS n = 18; BJS n = 3) were analysed for 16S rRNA gene bacterial ...

Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

BIOASSAY OF ORGANIC SOIL POLLUTION DEGREE USING CILIATES PEDOBIONTS IN AZERBAIJAN
Aim. It is known that free-living ciliates quickly react to the slightest changes in environmental conditions. This feature of physiological reactions on the basis of long-term studies made it possible to use some species of free-living ciliates to ...
