Microbiological indicators of tropical soils quality in ecosystems of the north-east area of Peru

Scientia Agropecuaria, 2019
Tropical soils withstand heavy pressure due to deforestation as a result of the change in land use, decreasing their quality. Traditionally, the quality of soil has been based on physical and chemical indicators; however, the biological ones can predict ...

Treatment‐driven peripheral blood transcriptomic remodelling and baseline predictors of ESSDAI and STAR response to B‐cell therapy in Sjögren's disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To characterise whole‐blood transcriptomic profiles in adults with active Sjögren's disease (SjD) treated with anti‐CD20 or BlyS/BAFF inhibition, identify markers of clinical response, and define inflammatory pathways linked to non‐response. Methods Whole‐blood RNA sequencing was performed at baseline and week‐24 in participants (n=43) from a

Biological and microbiological attributes in Oxisol managed with cover crops

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2017
The inclusion of winter cover crops and fertilization with nitrogen to the soil can have an effect on their biological and microbiological attributes. The aim of this study was to evaluate biological and microbiological attributes in soil under different

Expanding Metabolic Online Monitoring Capabilities in 96‐Deepwell Microtiter Plates by Combining Optoelectronic O2 and CO2 Sensors

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To increase the information content in early stages of bioprocess development, various technologies have been introduced for monitoring cultivations in microtiter plates (MTPs). Besides spectroscopical measurements, like in the BioLector technology, optical measurements with luminescent sensors, placed directly in the cultivation medium ...

Leaf litter identity rather than diversity shapes microbial functions and microarthropod abundance in tropical montane rainforests

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In tropical forest ecosystems leaf litter from a large variety of species enters the decomposer system, however, the impact of leaf litter diversity on the abundance and activity of soil organisms during decomposition is little known. We investigated the

Early enteral nutrition and neurodevelopment in very low birth weight preterm infants

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants are at increased risk of neurodevelopmental impairment. Although human milk may promote brain development, the association between type of feeding at discharge and neurodevelopmental outcomes remains uncertain.
