Sustainable Power Production in a Membrane-less and Mediator-less Wastewater Microbial Fuel Cell [PDF]

, 2009
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) fed with wastewater are currently considered a feasible strategy for production of renewable electricity at low cost. A membrane-less MFC with biological cathode was built from a compact wastewater treatment reactor.

Evolution and ecology of antibiotic resistance genes [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2007
A new perspective on the topic of antibiotic resistance is beginning to emerge based on a broader evolutionary and ecological understanding rather than from the traditional boundaries of clinical research of antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. Phylogenetic insights into the evolution and diversity of several antibiotic resistance genes suggest ...

First complete genome of a multidrug-resistant strain of the novel human pathogen Kalamiella piersonii (GABEKP28) identified in human saliva

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2023
: Objectives: Kalamiella piersonii is a newly identified bacterial species, first isolated from surfaces of the International Space Station (ISS). It also appears as a novel human pathogen reported to be implicated in bacteremia and kidney stone disease.

Embracing ecology to limit antimicrobial resistance [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2009
Headlines declaring “the end of the antimicrobial era” and “superbugs kill patients” are becoming commonplace. Such headlines engender anxiety, anguish and questions among the public. Is there a crisis? Does “something need to be done”?

Long-Distance Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]

, 2014
Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

Evolutionary-thinking in agricultural weed management [PDF]

, 2009
Agricultural weeds evolve in response to crop cultivation. Nevertheless, the central importance of evolutionary ecology for understanding weed invasion, persistence and management in agroecosystems is not widely acknowledged.

Virus satellites drive viral evolution and ecology [PDF]

, 2015
Virus satellites are widespread subcellular entities, present both in eukaryotic and in prokaryotic cells. Their modus vivendi involves parasitism of the life cycle of their inducing helper viruses, which assures their transmission to a new host. However,
