Abstract BACKGROUND The new European Union Wastewater Directive 2024/3019 requires upgrading sewage treatment plants to achieve 80% removal of micropollutants. This study aimed to compare different Powdered Activated Carbon dosing strategies within a hybrid Moving Bed‐Membrane Bioreactor (PAC‐MB‐MBR) system, to evaluate its performance and to study the

ABSTRACT The interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host immunity is central to food science. The Lachnospiraceae family ferments dietary fibers to produce short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), notably butyrate and propionate, with immunomodulatory potential. This critical review distinguishes established findings from hypotheses.

Beyond Bactericidal: Plasma Surface Engineering to Defeat Food Matrix‐Conditioning Layers
ABSTRACT The persistence of foodborne pathogens on industrial food contact surfaces continues to challenge global food safety despite advances in sanitation technologies. A central limitation of current antimicrobial strategies lies in their validation under simplified laboratory conditions that overlook the physicochemically driven formation of food ...

Biofilm Engineering for Efficient Substrate‐Enzyme Interactions to Enhance Enzymatic PET Degradation
Engineered curli biofilms localize FAST‐PETase at the PET surface through SpyTag/SpyCatcher‐mediated immobilization, enhancing substrate‐enzyme contact during interfacial plastic depolymerization. This biofilm‐confined strategy improves PET film degradation, providing a proof‐of‐concept framework for biofilm‐assisted plastic biotransformation ...

Bacteriophages—viruses that kill bacteria—are promising weapons against bacterial biofilms: sessile communities notoriously resistant to antibiotics. Yet phages evolved not so much to eradicate bacteria as to obtain new bacteria to infect. That goal, however, may conflict with the physician's objective of complete bacterial clearance.

From Dysbiosis to Disease: How Vaginal Microbiota Shape Group B Streptococcus Pathogenesis
Lactobacillus crispatus plays a critical role in the vaginal microbiome. Limiting glucose shifts metabolism toward HMO consumption and amino acid metabolism. These actions enable alkali production and competition. Homeostasis, characterized by dense Lactobacilli colonization and suppression of pathogens, provides resistance to dysbiosis.

Abstract Particle size and physical properties such as stiffness and adhesiveness affect sinking velocity and flux in the ocean, yet conventional two‐dimensional measurements lack accuracy and mechanical information. In this study, we applied atomic force microscopy (AFM) to quantify three‐dimensional size and physical properties of marine particles ...
