A Guideline Value for Dioxin‐Like Compounds in Marine Sediments
Abstract Sediments to be dredged as part of the installation of a harbor crossing in Sydney, Australia, contained measurable concentrations of dioxin‐like compounds. To assess the suitability of these sediments for ocean disposal, a defensible sediment quality guideline value (SQGV) for dioxin‐like compounds, expressed as pg toxic equivalent (TEQ)fish ...

This study characterizes a multidrug‐resistant and strong biofilm‐forming Enterococcus faecalis strain obtained from a shrimp sample in Bangladesh. ABSTRACT Enterococcus faecalis is known for its ability to form strong biofilms and its role as an opportunistic pathogen. In this study, we screened and characterized a multidrug‐resistant (MDR) and strong

Hosts, microbiomes, and the evolution of critical windows
Abstract The absence of microbial exposure early in life leaves individuals vulnerable to immune overreaction later in life, manifesting as immunopathology, autoimmunity, or allergies. A key factor is thought to be a “critical window” during which the host's immune system can “learn” tolerance, and beyond which learning is no longer possible.

Comparison of numerical simulations of reactive transport and chemostat-like models [PDF]
The objective of the paper is to evaluate the ability of reactive transport models and their numerical implementations (such as MIN3P) to simulate simple microbial transformations in conditions of chemostat or gradostat models, that are popular in microbial ecology and waste treatment ecosystems.

Impact of Salmonella genome rearrangement on gene expression
Abstract In addition to nucleotide variation, many bacteria also undergo changes at a much larger scale via rearrangement of their genome structure (GS) around long repeat sequences. These rearrangements result in genome fragments shifting position and/or orientation in the genome without necessarily affecting the underlying nucleotide sequence.

Fruit and vegetable peels, rich in nutrients such as fiber and phenolic compounds, can boost livestock productivity, enhancing milk, meat, and draught power. Their use as animal feed reduces organic waste, cuts greenhouse gas emissions, and decreases dependence on grain‐based feeds, offering a sustainable solution with significant nutritional and ...

Draft genome sequence of Massilia sp. KIM isolated from South African grassland biome soils
Massilia sp. are aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria that are found in air, water, and soils. Here we describe the draft genome sequence of Massilia sp. KIM, isolated from the South African grassland soils.
