Identification of bacterial taxa in archaeological waterlogged wood

Conservation Science in Cultural Heritage, 2014
The microscopic and molecular techniques described in this study are aimed at understanding the degradation processes of the anatomical structure of submerged archaeological wood, correlating it to the degradation induced by bacteria. The SEM micrographs

Diversity and enzymatic activity of the microbiota isolated from compost based on restaurant waste and yard trimmings

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
IntroductionThe bad management of organic waste negatively affects environmental quality and composting has been a viable recycling alternative. Microorganisms are responsible for waste degradation during the composting process and, consequently, for ...

New primers for amplification of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I barcode region designed for species of Decapoda (Crustacea)

Nauplius
We designed 14 new primers for amplification of the COI barcode region of decapod crustacean species. We tested, with high level of success, the generation of ~ 640 ± 49 base-pair sequences in selected groups of decapods (hermit crabs, squat lobsters ...

High temperatures and low humidity promote the occurrence of microsporidians (Microsporidia) in mosquitoes (Culicidae)

Parasites & Vectors
Background In the context of climate change, a growing concern is that vector-pathogen or host-parasite interactions may be correlated with climatic factors, especially increasing temperatures.

Microsporidian infection of mosquito larvae changes the host-associated microbiome towards the synthesis of antimicrobial factors

Parasites & Vectors
Background Microsporidians (Microsporidia) are a group of obligate intracellular parasites that commonly infect mosquitoes. Recently, it has been shown that infection by these parasites can alter the composition and functionality of the mosquito ...

Cultures in periprosthetic joint infections, the imperfect gold standard?

EFORT Open Reviews, 2023
Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are commonly described in the literature. By implementing a routine diagnostic workup and by optimizing tissue sampling and processing, the culture-negative rate can easily be reduced. When faced

Spatial coding techniques for molecular MIMO [PDF]

2017 IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW), 2017
This paper studies spatial diversity techniques applied to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) diffusion-based molecular communications (DBMC). Two types of spatial coding techniques, namely Alamouti-type coding and repetition MIMO coding are suggested and analyzed.
