Enhanced self-healing capacity in cementitious materials by use of encapsulated carbonate precipitating bacteria : from proof-of-concept to reality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this study, two bacteria-based self-healing systems were developed for the proof-of-concept and approach to a realistic self-healing. A self-healing system with glass capillaries and silica sol gel carried bacterial cells was first built.

Biological control and biomass evaluation of Botrytis cinerea : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The efficacy of biocontrol agents is often judged by symptom development on inoculated plants. This process can involve long delays, as with Botrytis infection of kiwifruit and an alternative, quicker approach would be useful.

Efficacy of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge for inactivating airborne pathogens [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Atmospheric pressure plasmas have gained attention in recent years for several environmental applications. This technology could potentially be used to deactivate airborne microorganisms, surface-bound microorganisms, and biofilms.

Scale‐up of Streptomyces species cultivations based on the morphological response to the energy dissipation rate

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Filamentous microorganisms exhibit complex morphologies that influence product formation and are affected by various bioprocess parameters. Consistent morphology is therefore essential for comparable results during scale‐up. This study investigates the scale‐up of Streptomyces species (Streptomyces spp.) cultivations from shake flasks to ...

Surface appendages of bacterial spores [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 2006
SummaryBacilli and Clostridia generate dormant, highly resistant cells, called spores, in response to stress. Spores of many species are decorated by morphologically diverse structures of unknown function called appendages that have yet to be studied at the molecular level. In this issue, Walker et al. employ reverse genetics to identify genes encoding

Shaping research in marine functional connectivity for integrated and effective marine science and management

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Effective knowledge of ecological connectivity at sea and at the land–sea interface is key to supporting global policy goals to conserve and restore ocean biodiversity and function. However, a persistent lack of commonality in terminology and understanding around the concept of connectivity in marine ecological studies hampers its integration ...

The spread of non‐native species

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
