Biofouling in industrial equipment: a look at quorum sensing and quorum quenching as anti-fouling strategies in membrane bioreactors

open access: yesEnvironmental Technology Reviews
One of the major techniques used in various industrial processes and separation techniques is membrane technology, among which membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are a key component. While the demand for membrane technology is rising, membrane fouling remains a

Achieving superior therapeutic effects on methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection via simple sulfonation process for preparing zwitterionic photosensitizer

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
The sulfonated zwitterionic photosensitizer (PYSO3) is synthesized by reacting maleic anhydride derivatives with 4‐aminopyridine to form PY, followed by sulfonation with 1,4‐butane sultone. It exhibits both photothermal and photodynamic properties, enabling effective eradication of MRSA and biofilms, as well as promoting wound healing in mice ...

Artichoke Bracts and Stems Residues as Active Filler for Poly(Butylene Succinate‐Co‐Adipate) (PBSA) Composites: From Agro‐Waste to a New Sustainable Material

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
PBSA‐based biocomposites made from artichoke bract and stem powders have been characterised and formulated for agricultural and food applications, such as active mulching films. ABSTRACT In the context of a growing bioeconomy and the drive for sustainable materials, new biocomposites were formulated by incorporating poly(butylene succinate‐co‐adipate) (

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Navigating Gravity: Competing Effects Result in Opposing Taxis for Different Janus Swimmers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The combined effects of gravity and wall‐induced hydrodynamics on the motion of Janus colloids are investigated. Platinum‐ and copper‐coated silica microswimmers show distinct gravitactic alignment near surfaces due to different hydrodynamic couplings. This distinct gravitactic behavior enables separation of initially mixed active particles.
