Interplay between particle size and microbial ecology in the gut microbiome [PDF]

open access: greenThe ISME Journal
ABSTRACTPhysical particles can serve as critical abiotic factors that structure the ecology of microbial communities. For non-human vertebrate gut microbiomes, fecal particle size (FPS) has been known to be shaped by chewing efficiency and diet. However, little is known about what drives FPS in the human gut.

Viral ecology of organic and inorganic particles in aquatic systems: avenues for further research [PDF]

open access: bronzeAquatic Microbial Ecology, 2009
Viral abundance and processes in the water column and sediments are well studied for some systems; however, we know relatively little about virus-host interactions on particles and how particles influence these interactions. Here we review virus-prokaryote interactions on inorganic and organic particles in the water column.

Particles, environments, and possible ecologies in the Jovian atmosphere [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1976
The eddy diffusion coefficient is estimated as a function of altitude, separately for the Jovian troposphere and mesosphere. Complex organic molecules produced by the Ly alpha photolysis of methane may possibly be the absorbers in the lower mesosphere which account for the low reflectivity of Jupiter in the near ultraviolet.

Inversion of Soil Salinity Using Multisource Remote Sensing Data and Particle Swarm Machine Learning Models in Keriya Oasis, Northwestern China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
Soil salinization is a global problem that damages soil ecology and affects agricultural development. Timely management and monitoring of soil salinity are essential to achieve the most sustainable development goals in arid and semi-arid regions.

Investigation of the Uniformity of Gel Shrinkage by Imaging Tracer Particles Using X‐Ray Microtomography

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView., 2023
A novel method for tracking structural changes in gels using widely accessible microcomputed tomography is presented and validated for various hydro‐, alco‐, and aerogels. The core idea of the method is to track positions of micrometer‐sized tracer particles entrapped in the gel and relate them to the density of the gel network.

Ecology and Determinants of a Tropical Rainforest Landscape

open access: yesResearch in Ecology, 2023
Tropical ecosystems are bio-diverse ecosystems that differ according to varied environmental features. This work assessed the tree diversity and environmental variables that define a rainforest ecosystem in southeast Nigeria. 30 forest plots were used to

Conserved Viral Transcription Plays a Key Role in Virus-Like Particle Production of the Parasitoid Wasp Venturia canescens

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2022
This study shows that endogenization of a nudivirus genome in a Campopleginae parasitoid wasp has led to the conservation, as for endogenized nudiviruses in braconid parasitoid wasps, of the viral RNA polymerase function, required for the transcription ...

Organosolv lignin particles as an ecological reagents in the Kupfershiefer copper ore flotation

open access: yesPhysicochemical Problems of Mineral Processing, 2023
Mineral separation relies heavily on the process of flotation. This study explored the feasibility of using organosolv lignin nanoparticles and microparticles (OLP) as a greener alternative to xanthates in the flotation process for mineral separation. Xanthates are widely used but pose environmental and health risks. The efficiency of OLP as collectors
