DNA Renaturation at the Water-Phenol Interface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
We study DNA adsorption and renaturation in a water-phenol two-phase system, with or without shaking. In very dilute solutions, single-stranded DNA is adsorbed at the interface in a salt-dependent manner.

Prebiotics, faecal transplants and microbial network units to stimulate biodiversity of the human gut microbiome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Accumulating evidence demonstrates the intimate association between human hosts and the gut microbiome. Starting at birth, the sterile gut of the newborn acquires a diverse spectrum of microbes, needed for immunological priming.

Prebiotic developments

open access: yesMicrobial Ecology in Health & Disease, 2012
Prebiotics have been defined recently more as a concept then a functional ingredient group: ‘The selective stimulation of growth and/or activity(ies) of one or a limited number of microbial genus(era)/species in the gut microbiota that confer(s) health benefits to the host’.

Prebiotic metabolic networks? [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2014
A prebiotic origin of metabolism has been proposed as one of several scenarios for the origin of life. In their recent work, Ralser and colleagues (Keller et al, ) observe an enzyme‐free, metabolism‐like reaction network under conditions reproducing a possible prebiotic environment.

Vortex‐Generated Microdroplets Enable Simple, Rapid, and Low‐Volume Measurement of Condensate Volume and Concentration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work leverages vortex‐generated microdroplets to encapsulate condensates and quantify their volumes and concentrations. Compared to conventional bulk methods, the technique substantially reduces sample volume, cost, and processing time. Its broad utility sheds light on a wide range of applications, particularly those that require high‐throughput ...
