Microbial indication of pollution in the surface waters of Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea) by heavy metals [PDF]
Известия ТИНРОWater quality is assessed in some coastal areas of Peter the Great Bay, Japan Sea, by means of microbial indication. In the areas polluted with heavy metals, the number of metal-resistant forms of bacteria in heterotrophic microbial communities varies in

Microbial indicators in natural biofilms developed in the riverbed [PDF]
Water Science and Technology, 2010 Microbial indicators such as heterotrophic bacteria, total coliforms, and Escherichia coli in naturally developed riverbed biofilms were investigated. Pebbles covered with natural biofilm were sampled directly from the riverbed at sampling stations ranging from the upstream region within a quasi-national park to the midstream in the urban district ...

Functional dissection of velvet DNA-binding region in Aspergillus nidulans VelB uncovers an essential conserved arginine cluster [PDF]
IMA FungusVelvet regulators, characterized by a conserved velvet domain, function as central hubs that coordinately govern fungal development, secondary metabolism, stress adaptation, and pathogenicity. The velvet domain is organized into an N-terminal DNA-binding

Effect of energy limitation on microbial epigenetic modifications [PDF]
, 2021 M.S.Epigenetic modifications are often induced in eukaryotic organisms in a response to stress. These modifications can alter gene expression by methylating the genome which can turn genes on or off.

Effect of long-term influx of tertiary treated wastewater on native bacterial communities in a dry valley topsoil: 16S rRNA gene-based metagenomic analysis of composition and functional profile [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Although dumping treated wastewater into soil might provide nutrients and organic matter, it can also expose the ecosystem to biological and chemical risks. A vital indication of soil health and quality is the soil microbial community.
