The impact of molecular biology on assessment of water quality: advantages and limitations of current techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
The advent of molecular biology has had a dramatic impact on all aspects of biology, not least applied microbial ecology. Microbiological testing of water has traditionally depended largely on culture techniques.

Pre‐, Pro‐, Post‐, and Synbiotics for Skin Health: A Narrative Review of Cosmetic and Dermatological Applications

open access: yesDermatological Reviews, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, and synbiotics have been increasingly investigated and incorporated into cosmetic formulations to preserve or restore skin health, function, and esthetics. Objective To review biotics applications in cosmetology, discussing their concepts, general characteristics, and potential benefits and ...

Microbial community response reveals underlying mechanism of industrial-scale manganese sand biofilters used for the simultaneous removal of iron, manganese and ammonia from groundwater

open access: yesAMB Express, 2018
Most studies have employed aeration–biofiltration process for the simultaneous removal of iron, manganese and ammonia in groundwater. However, what’s inside the “black box”, i.e., the potential contribution of functional microorganisms behavior and ...

Lost in translation: the quest for Nitrosomonas cluster 7‐specific amoA primers and TaqMan probes

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, 2020
Summary The choice of primer and TaqMan probes to quantify ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in environmental samples is of crucial importance. The re‐evaluation of primer pairs based on current genomic sequences used for quantification of the amoA gene ...

Nitrosomonas europaea expresses a nitric oxide reductase during nitrification. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In this paper, we report the identification of a norCBQD gene cluster that encodes a functional nitric oxide reductase (Nor) in Nitrosomonas europaea. Disruption of the norB gene resulted in a strongly diminished nitric oxide (NO) consumption by cells ...

Media Optimization, Strain Compatibility, and Low-Shear Modeled Microgravity Exposure of Synthetic Microbial Communities for Urine Nitrification in Regenerative Life-Support Systems

open access: yes, 2019
Urine is a major waste product of human metabolism and contains essential macro- and micronutrients to produce edible microorganisms and crops. Its biological conversion into a stable form can be obtained through urea hydrolysis, subsequent nitrification,

Energetics and Ecological Implications of Bacterial Electron Transport Chains

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesises vast knowledge on bacterial electron transport chains with an emphasis on the energetics and underlying design principles. It further explores the varied respiratory chain compositions across different bacterial species using diverse energy sources to reveal potential implications of energy metabolism in supporting bacterial ...

A mathematical model of bacteria capable of complete oxidation of ammonium predicts improved nitrogen removal and reduced production of nitrous oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The removal of excess nutrients from water ecosystems requires oxidation of toxic ammonium by two types of bacteria; one oxidizes ammonium to nitrite and the other oxidizes nitrite to nitrate.

Community analysis of betaproteobacterial ammonia-oxidizing bacteria using the amoCAB operon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The genes and intergenic regions of the amoCAB operon were analyzed to establish their potential as molecular markers for analyzing ammonia-oxidizing betaproteobacterial (beta-AOB) communities.

Probiotic Bacillus subtilis enhances production efficiency in biofloc‐raised Cherax quadricarinatus via microbiome remodeling and host antioxidant capacity upregulation

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Biofloc technology (BFT) presents a sustainable approach to aquaculture intensification by recycling nutrients and reducing water exchange. However, probiotic supplementation for optimization in emerging species such as redclaw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) remains unexplored. This study investigated how Bacillus subtilis (B.
