The Impact of pH on the Anaerobic and Aerobic Metabolism of Tetrasphaera-Enriched Polyphosphate Accumulating Organisms [PDF]
Water Research X, 2023 Members of the genus Tetrasphaera are putative polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) that have been found in greater abundance than Accumulibacter in many full-scale enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) wastewater treatment plants ...

Intratumoral microbiome is associated with the response to cancer immunotherapy in lung cancer patients with high PD-L1 expression [PDF]
Immuno-Oncology and TechnologyBackground: High expression of tumoral programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) [high PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS)] is a predictive biomarker of response to cancer immunotherapy in lung cancer; however, its predictiveness is insufficient.
