Abstract A dual chamber microbial fuel cells was developed using biomass derived reduced graphene oxide (E-rGO) synthesized from Ensete ventricosum corm waste as an anode material for simultaneous bioelectricity generati...

This paper presents data obtained using an indigenous microbial community contained in anaerobic sediments (mud) collected from the shore of the Río de La Plata River (South America). After the sedimentary microbial fue...

In microbial fuel cell (MFC), the anode is the carrier of microbial attachment and growth, and its material and surface structure play a vital role in MFC electricity generation. Therefore, anode surface optimization is ...

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) research is a rapidly evolving field that lacks established terminology and methods for the analysis of system performance. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare devices on an equiv...

The alarming worldwide increase in antibiotic resistance amongst microbial pathogens necessitates a search for new antimicrobial techniques, which will not be affected by, or indeed cause resistance themselves. Light-med...

Biofilm development is a survival strategy for majority of bacteria to adapt to their living environment. These biofilms are prevalent on most surfaces in nature. Microbial cells in biofilm exhibit significantly enhanced...

Abstract Background Gas-phase bioprocesses that immobilize microbial cells on solid carriers enable efficient conversion of volatile or poorly water-soluble substrates. Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 is a highly adhesive bacter...

Abstract Dormancy, as a microbial survival strategy, plays a crucial role in sustaining microbial diversity. However, the large-scale distribution patterns of microbial dormancy and drivers remain poorly understood. Here...

Nanoparticles have gained immense interest as probable drug molecules against microbial infections. Metal nanoparticles synthesized via exploring the reduction potential and capping activity of plants were found to have ...

The photodynamic inactivation mediated by 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-[4-(N,N,N-trimethylamino)phenyl]-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene 3 and 8-[4-(3-(N,N,N-trimethylamino)propoxy)phenyl]-4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-di...

In 2019, the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) convened a panel of experts specializing in nutrition, microbial physiology, gastroenterology, paediatrics, food science and microbi...

To understand the impact of gut microbes on human health and well-being it is crucial to assess their genetic potential. Here we describe the Illumina-based metagenomic sequencing, assembly and characterization of 3.3 mi...

Abstract The significant economic burden of colorectal cancer (CRC) necessitates the development of innovative therapeutic approaches. Interest in the gut microbiota’s role in CRC has increased. Capecitabine, as a chem...

AbstractUV-C light is an alternative for preserving clear fruit-based drinks, replacing existing thermal treatments that degrade product quality and are ineffective against some microorganisms, including Alicyclobacillus...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) harness the metabolic machinery of electro-active bacteria to transfer electrons from organic molecules to polarized anodes. In this context, increasingly higher anode surface areas have been ...

Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) that detects microbial metabolites presented by the nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–like molecule MR1. Th...

We have established the possibility of using ZnO nanoparticles to inhibit microbial corrosion with simultaneous inhibition of growth and sulfate-reducing activity of bacteria of the corrosive active group. The search for...

Abstract Background The complex relationship between the gut microbiome and immune system development during infancy is considered a key factor in the rising rates of pediatric allergic diseases. Food protein-induced all...

Background: Febrile illness in pediatric populations often poses a diagnostic challenge due to overlapping clinical features across various etiologies. While respiratory infections are common, urinary tract infections (U...

Abstract Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from essential fluorescent amino acids, such as lysine (Lys), phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), and tryptophan (Trp) by two routes, microwave and teflon-lined au...

Next-generation metagenomic sequencing (mNGS) enables the direct and unbiased detection of pathogens from clinical samples, overcoming the limitations of standard methods. It is particularly valuable in immunocompromised...

ABSTRACT Microorganisms are expected to play vital roles in the development of sustainable societies, but this idea is still poorly understood by the general public. In addition, it would also be important for the future...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Bone infection is a severe disease caused by microbial invasion of bone tissue, characterized by inflammatory responses, bone destruction, and impaired repair. Its high recurrence rate and refractory nature have posed si...
