Phylogenetically informed Bayesian truncated copula graphical models for microbial association networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Microorganisms play a critical role in host health. The advancement of high-throughput sequencing technology provides opportunities for a deeper understanding of microbial interactions. However, due to the limitations of 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing, microbiome data are zero-inflated, and a quantitative comparison of microbial abundances cannot be made

Composting of common organic wastes using microbial inoculants [PDF]

open access: yes3 Biotech, 2011
It is important to use renewable resources to maximize crop yields and minimize the environmental hazards associated with chemical residues. Composting is an age old practice for the biological conversion of organic waste to a humus-like substance which can enhance physical, chemical and biological soil properties.

Atomic Layer Deposition of ZnO Coating on Biodegradable Fe‐Based Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A biodegradable Fe69Mn30C1 alloy is coated with ZnO using atomic layer deposition at 100 °C. Coating thickness impacts surface roughness, wettability, and in vitro degradation while maintaining hydrophilicity. The ZnO coating exhibits significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, achieving an inhibitory rate of up to 99.2%, and can ...

Correlation tests between relative light unit and colony forming unit for improving adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence analysis in bacterial consolidation treatments on palaeontological heritage

open access: yesLuminescence, Volume 37, Issue 12, Page 2129-2138, December 2022., 2022
Bacterial mineralization treatments can be effective, nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and chemically compatible with fossil heritage. However, accurate monitoring should be carried out to detect bacteria viability during and after treatments. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is proposed as a fast, affordable, portable, and easy‐to‐use system for ...

Microbiome abundance patterns as attractors and the implications for the inference of microbial interaction networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Inferring microbial interaction networks from abundance patterns is an important approach to advance our understanding of microbial communities in general and the human microbiome in particular. Here we suggest discriminating two levels of information contained in microbial abundance data: (1) the quantitative abundance values and (2) the pattern of ...

A Systematic Study of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm Formation on Thiol‐Ene Polymers: Toward the Development of Microfluidic Bacterial Biofilm Models

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work presents a systematic characterization of an emerging polymer platform, off‐stoichiometry thiol‐ene, in terms of its ability to support the formation, growth, and metabolic activity of Staphylococcus aureus biofilms. The findings indicate that thiol‐enes promote S.

Computational fluid dynamics simulation improves the design and characterization of a plug‐flow‐type scale‐down reactor for microbial cultivation processes

open access: yesBiotechnology Journal, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary The heterogenous production conditions in large‐scale bioreactors cause scale‐up problems, such as reduced biomass or product yield, to occur during bioprocesses. In this study, we designed a two‐compartment scale‐down reactor and used it to simulate large‐scale heterogenous production conditions, allowing us to ...

Agroecological Transformation: Implementation of an Agroforestry System in a Construction Debris Area Focusing on Vegetables Development through Microbial Treatments

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Soil microorganisms play an important role on plant development and the homogenization of soil microbiomes is harmful to agri-environments. It is essential that agricultural practices are carried out by taking soil microbiome preservation in ...
