Exposure to Environmental Microorganisms and Childhood Asthma

New England Journal of Medicine, 2011
BACKGROUND: Children who grow up in environments that afford them a wide range of microbial exposures, such as traditional farms, are protected from childhood asthma and atopy. In previous studies, markers of microbial exposure have been inversely related to these conditions. METHODS: In two cross-sectional studies, we compared children living on farms

Genetically engineered microorganisms for environmental remediation

Chemosphere, 2023
في العصر الحديث، يؤثر الاستمرار المتزايد للملوثات الخطرة بشكل سيء على العالم من نواح كثيرة. بسبب التلوث البيئي المرتفع، تواجه كل الأنواع الثانية تقريبًا على وجه الأرض أسوأ مشكلة في بقائها. قد يساعد التقدم في مناهج المعالجة الأحدث في تعزيز جودة المعالجة الحيوية، في حين فشلت الإجراءات التقليدية في إزالة المركبات الخطرة من البيئة.

Deciphering chloramphenicol biotransformation mechanisms and microbial interactions via integrated multi-omics and cultivation-dependent approaches

Microbiome, 2022
Background As a widely used broad-spectrum antibiotic, chloramphenicol is prone to be released into environments, thus resulting in the disturbance of ecosystem stability as well as the emergence of antibiotic resistance genes. Microbes play a vital role

A feasible approach for azo dye degradation using natural magnetite in heterogeneous Fenton oxidation

Water Cycle, 2022
Azo dyes, which are widely used in the textile industry, are typical toxic and refractory pollutants in wastewater. Heterogeneous Fenton oxidation is effective in degrading organic compounds; however, it may induce Fe-leaching. Therefore, it is necessary

Plastic biodegradation by in vitro environmental microorganisms and in vivo gut microorganisms of insects

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Traditional plastics, such as polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyurethane (PUR), and other plastic polymers, are difficult to degrade and are gradually accumulated in the environment to cause a serious environmental problem, which is urgently needed to develop novel ...

An Enhanced Framework of Generative Adversarial Networks (EF-GANs) for Environmental Microorganism Image Augmentation With Limited Rotation-Invariant Training Data

IEEE Access, 2020
The main obstacle to image augmentation with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is the need for a large amount of training data, but this is difficult for small datasets like Environmental Microorganisms (EMs). EM image analysis plays a vital role in

Revealing the membrane fouling mechanism caused by the denitrification filter effluent during ozonation by model assessment

Water Reuse, 2021
Membrane fouling has been a major obstacle for stable operation of ultrafiltration. In this study, prevailing fouling models were applied to assess the fouling behavior of the denitrification filter (DNF) effluent during ozonation.
