Diverse Environmental Microbiota as a Tool to Augment Biodiversity in Urban Landscaping Materials
Human activities typically lead to simplified urban diversity, which in turn reduces microbial exposure and increases the risk to urban dwellers from non-communicable diseases.

Nonlinear spread of rumor and inoculation strategies in the nodes with degree dependent tie strength in complex networks [PDF]
In earlier rumor spreading models, at each time step nodes contact all of their neighbors. In more realistic scenario it is possible that a node may contact only some of its neighbors to spread the rumor. Therefore it is must in real world complex networks, the classic rumor spreading model need to be modified to consider the dependence of rumor spread

Motile Geobacter Dechlorinators Migrate into a Model Source Zone of Trichloroethene Dense Non-aqueous Phase Liquid: Experimental Evaluation and Modeling [PDF]
Microbial migration towards a trichloroethene (TCE) dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) could facilitate the bioaugmentation of TCE DNAPL source zones. This study characterized the motility of the Geobacter dechlorinators in a TCE to cisdichloroethene dechlorinating KB-1TM subculture. No chemotaxis towards or away from TCE was found using an agarose

Slime mould solves maze in one pass ... assisted by gradient of chemo-attractants [PDF]
Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell, visible by unaided eye, which exhibits sophisticated patterns of foraging behaviour. The plasmodium's behaviour is well interpreted in terms of computation, where data are spatially extended configurations of nutrients and obstacles, and results of computation are networks of protoplasmic tubes ...
