Phylogenetic Profiling of the Diabetic Foot Ulcer Microbiome of an Afro‐Caribbean Population

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Illumina amplicon sequencing revealed diverse bacterial and fungal communities in chronic diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and adjacent normal skin from Afro‐Caribbean patients. Corynebacterium striatum dominated both sites. DFUs had higher relative abundance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the antifungal‐resistant Candida duobushaemulonii, with significantly

Burkholderia thailandensis harbors two identical rhl gene clusters responsible for the biosynthesis of rhamnolipids

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Rhamnolipids are surface active molecules composed of rhamnose and β-hydroxydecanoic acid. These biosurfactants are produced mainly by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and have been thoroughly investigated since their early discovery.

Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Cu‐ and Ag‐Decorated MWCNT Hybrid Nanofluids Synthesized via Probe Ultrasonication

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2026.
Surfactant‐free Ag/MWCNT–EG and Cu/MWCNT–EG hybrid nanofluids are prepared via probe ultrasonication at ultralow loadings. The nanofluids show stable dispersion at the lowest concentration and measurable thermal conductivity enhancement, reaching approximately 5.5% and 8% for Ag/MWCNT–EG and Cu/MWCNT–EG, respectively, highlighting their potential for ...
