Bioreactor Scalability: Laboratory-Scale Bioreactor Design Influences Performance, Ecology, and Community Physiology in Expanded Granular Sludge Bed Bioreactors

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials.

Biofilm‐Binding Phages Enhance Biofilm Eradication by Synergistic Photothermal and Photodynamic Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered phage‐based trifunctional nanofibers are developed for synergistic biofilm eradication. Biofilm‐binding phages, armed with AuNPs and TCPP, serve as both warheads and scaffolds, endowing the phototherapy agents with biofilm‐anchoring ability. Upon light irradiation, AuNPs induce photothermal therapy, while TCPP generates 1O2 for photodynamic ...

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 ...

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

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.

Linking soil structure and microbial communities to predict CO2 emissions from drained arable peatlands [PDF]

Understanding interactions between soil structure, microbial communities, and greenhouse gas dynamics is critical for predicting carbon losses from drained agricultural peatlands.

Light structures phototroph, bacterial and fungal communities at the soil surface [PDF]

, 2013
The upper few millimeters of soil harbour photosynthetic microbial communities that are structurally distinct from those of underlying bulk soil due to the presence of light. Previous studies in arid zones have demonstrated functional importance of these

Microblasting Wound Dressings Mechanically Disrupt Polymicrobial Biofilms to Enhance Healing in Treatment‐Resistant Wounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Treatment‐resistant wounds caused by polymicrobial biofilms are refractory to conventional therapies due to the dense extracellular matrices. We developed μBLAST, a microblasting wound dressing that combines MnO2‐doped biosilica and a H2O2‐releasing mesh to generate localized oxygen microbubbles that mechanically disrupt biofilms.

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 ...
