Application of rapid Nanopore metagenomic cell-free DNA sequencing to diagnose bloodstream infections: a prospective observational study

Microbiology Spectrum
Bloodstream infections are a major cause of mortality, often leading to sepsis or septic shock. Rapid initiation of effective antimicrobial therapy is essential for survival; however, the current gold standard for identifying pathogens in bloodstream ...

A New 3D Colon on a Chip to Decipher the Influence of Mechanical Forces on the Physiological Cellular Ecosystem

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
To dissect how mechanical forces influence intestinal physiology, we developed a stretchable 3D colon‐on‐chip that integrates tunable topography, stiffness and peristalsis‐like motion within a physiologically relevant microenvironment. We showed that stretching is a dominant factor governing epithelial behavior, markedly enhancing proliferation and ...

A country-wide survey into the composition and transformation of short-chain organic acids in anaerobic sludge digesters at wastewater treatment plants in Denmark

Scientific Reports
Short chain organic acids (SCOAs) containing 1–6 carbons are important intermediates in anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge, and transformation of SCOAs is often the rate-limiting step.

Reproducible, high-yielding, biological caproate production from food waste using a single-phase anaerobic reactor system

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Nowadays, the vast majority of chemicals are either synthesised from fossil fuels or are extracted from agricultural commodities. However, these production approaches are not environmentally and economically sustainable, as they result in the ...

Factors Associated with the Diversification of the Gut Microbial Communities within Chimpanzees from Gombe National Park. [PDF]

, 2012
The gastrointestinal tract harbors large and diverse populations of bacteria that vary among individuals and within individuals over time. Numerous internal and external factors can influence the contents of these microbial communities, including diet ...

Artificial Symbiosis for Bulk Production of Bacterial Cellulose Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐cultivation of the cellulose‐producing bacterium with the microalga enables bulk formation of bacterial cellulose under static incubation, with photosynthetically active oxygen‐generating sites throughout the medium. This symbiotic platform supports 3D cellulosic constructs with geometries dictated by the vessel shape.

Energy Gradients Structure Microbial Communities Across Sediment Horizons in Deep Marine Sediments of the South China Sea [PDF]

, 2018
The deep marine subsurface is a heterogeneous environment in which the assembly of microbial communities is thought to be controlled by a combination of organic matter deposition, electron acceptor availability, and sedimentology.

Microenvironment Modulation‐Based Nanomaterial‐Loaded Hydrogel Dressings for Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Research Progress and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
xx xx. ABSTRACT Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a chronic complication of diabetes, primarily caused by hyperglycemia, peripheral vascular disease, and neuropathy. Characterized by persistent hyperglycemia, impaired perfusion, inflammation, and infection, DFUs pose significant challenges to healing and are associated with high morbidity and amputation ...
