The detection efficiency of digital PCR for the virulence genes of waterborne pathogenic bacteria
Water Supply, 2021 Waterborne pathogens are the primary concern for the safe reuse of wastewater. Although digital PCR (dPCR) is considered promising for absolutely quantitating genes, the detection efficiency of dPCR is affected by many factors.

Encounter rates between bacteria and small sinking particles [PDF]
, 2019 Bacteria in aquatic environments often interact with particulate matter. A key example is bacterial degradation of marine snow responsible for carbon export from the upper ocean in the biological pump. The ecological interaction between bacteria and sinking particles is regulated by their encounter rate, which is therefore important to predict ...

Quantum superposition, entanglement, and state teleportation of a microorganism on an electromechanical oscillator [PDF]
Science Bulletin 2016, 61(2):163-171, 2015 Schr\"odinger's thought experiment to prepare a cat in a superposition of both alive and dead states reveals profound consequences of quantum mechanics and has attracted enormous interests. Here we propose a straightforward method to create quantum superposition states of a living microorganism by putting a small cryopreserved bacterium on top of an ...

EMDS-6: Environmental Microorganism Image Dataset Sixth Version for Image Denoising, Segmentation, Feature Extraction, Classification and Detection Methods Evaluation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Environmental microorganisms (EMs) are ubiquitous around us and have an important impact on the survival and development of human society. However, the high standards and strict requirements for the preparation of environmental microorganism (EM) data have led to the insufficient of existing related databases, not to mention the databases with GT ...

Critique on Vindication of Panspermia [PDF]
Aperion Vol 16. No. 3. pp 463-474 July 2009, 2009 In January 2001, air samples were collected from Earth's stratosphere. From these air samples, cultures of three microorganisms were obtained. It was reasoned that these microorganisms are of cometary origin and thereby cometary panspermia stood vindicated.

Life in Complex Fluids: Swimming in Polymers [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Many microorganisms live and evolve in complex fluids. Examples include mammalian spermatozoa in cervical mucus, worms (e.g., \textit{C. elegans}) in wet soil, and bacteria (e.g., \textit{H. pylori}) in our stomach lining. Due to the presence of (bio)polymers and/or solids, such fluids often display nonlinear response to (shear) stresses including ...
