Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Microbiome-Metabolomics Reveals Prebiotic Benefits of Fucoidan Supplementation in Mice

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Fucoidan is a kind of polysaccharide with antitumor and antioxidant properties, which is mainly isolated from brown algae. Although there are many reports about the prebiotic effects of polysaccharides on hosts, there are few reports about the effects of

Vm–MSI: a Vancomycin–Antimicrobial Peptide Conjugate Combating Resistant Bacteria and Broadening the Antimicrobial Spectrum

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A series of vancomycin‐antimicrobial peptide conjugates is synthesized and evaluated to identify the optimal combination. Vm‐MSI, selected from multiple candidates, exhibited potent activity against vancomycin‐resistant and Gram‐negative bacteria by disrupting membranes and inducing oxidative stress, thereby expanding vancomycin's antibacterial ...

Inverting the Concentrations of Chlorophyll-a and Chemical Oxygen Demand in Urban River Networks Using Normalized Hyperspectral Data

Sensors
Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) are key indicators for water quality evaluation. In previous research on the inversion of Chl-a and COD concentrations using hyperspectral data, disparities in hyperspectral data types have ...

Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate
