pathogensurvival, etc ; Weibull statistics; linear models; Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... The first-order kinetics for microbial inactivation was derived more than 100 years ago and is still used, although more and more researchers are aware of very common non-linear survival curves. The Weibull model is just a simple alternative to the linear model and can be used to describe convex, concave, and linear survival curves. The objective of this review is not to criticize the first-order ...

Abstract:
... The microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) process has been identified as a promising alternative to conventional enhanced oil recovery methods because it is eco-friendly and economically advantageous. Despite its various advantages, the technique is not widely applied because the reservoir conditions such as temperature, pressure, and salinity are extremely harsh for microbial survival. In this s ...

Abstract:
... Vibrio parahaemolyticus produces two types of IV pili: mannose-sensitive haemagglutinin type IV pili (MSHA) and chitin-regulated pili (ChiRP). Both of them are required for biofilm formation and the pathogen persistence in hosts. However, there are few reports on the regulation of their expression. In the present study, we showed that the master quorum sensing (QS) regulators AphA and OpaR opposit ...

Abstract:
... Ice-binding proteins (IBPs) are well-characterized proteins responsible for the cold-adaptation mechanisms. Despite extensive structural and biological investigation of IBPs and antifreeze proteins, only a few studies have considered the relationship between protein stabilization and thermal hysteresis (TH) activity as well as the implication of hyperactivity. Here, we investigated the important r ...

Abstract:
... Manure as a resource is a major issue in the agricultural sector. Mesophilic anaerobic fermentation is the most common treatment modality for livestock manure, but it cannot completely eliminate human pathogens. Recently several reports characterized bacteria and human pathogens after manure treatment by mesophilic anaerobic fermentation. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to analyz ...
... The plant dormancy period in the riparian zone affects the activity of microorganisms and their related nitrogen (N) process, which necessitates an investigation of the influence of the dormancy period on the microbial community. This study sampled two groups of soils (ashore and offshore soils) of two typical plants (Acorus calamus, Canna indica) in rhizosphere soils and bulk soils during the dor ...

Abstract:
... The epidemiological and demographic dynamics of plant–pathogen interactions in natural environments are strongly affected by spatial and temporal influences. Here we assess the interaction between Filipendula ulmaria and its rust pathogen Triphragmium ulmariae by analysing a 30‐year long dataset that has followed pathogen and plant population dynamics in a metapopulation of ~230 host patches growi ...
... Cryopreservation is a widely used long-term preservation method to ensure the quality and vitality of microbes in laboratories and biological resource facilities. However, freeze-thaw damage and osmotic pressure changes during cryopreservation adversely impacts microbial survival. Significant expenditure of resources and expertise are required to select the right cryoprotectant and optimize its co ...

Abstract:
... Probiotics are increasingly used in aquaculture to protect cultivated organisms from pathogens and improve water quality and feed efficiency. Shrimp are the most commonly cultivated aquaculture species worldwide. In this current review, we will explore the current challenges that impact shrimp aquaculture and summarize how probiotics are utilized to improve production. Probiotics are live microorg ...

Abstract:
... Crassaminicella sp. 143-21, a putative new species isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney on the Central Indian Ridge (CIR), is an anaerobic, thermophilic and rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the family Clostridiaceae. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence of strain 143-21, comprising 2,756,133 bp with a G + C content of 31.1%. In total, 2427 protein coding genes, 121 t ...
... Intimately coupled photocatalysis and biodegradation (ICPB) is an attractive novel technology for the mineralization and detoxification of persistent organics. Good photocatalytic performance is essential for an advanced ICPB operation, and the photocatalyst coating and illumination conditions are strong determining factors. In this work, response surface methodology (RSM) involving the central co ...
... Stored topsoil acts as a microbial inoculant for ecological restoration of land after disturbance, but the altered circumstances frequently create unfavourable conditions for microbial survival. Nitrogen cycling is a critical indicator for ecological success and this study aimed to investigate the cornerstone taxa driving the process. Previous in silico studies investigating stored topsoil discove ...

Abstract:
... Sugar efflux from host plants is essential for pathogen survival and proliferation. Sugar transporter‐mediated redistribution of host sugar contributes to the outcomes of plant–pathogen interactions. However, few studies have focused on how sugar translocation is strategically manipulated during host colonization. To elucidate this question, the wheat sugar transport protein (STP) TaSTP3 respondin ...

Abstract:
... Golf course superintendents are often under pressure to maintain high-quality turf. Such demand entails use of inputs, which can include biostimulants that are often marketed as a way of combating plant stress and improving turf quality. However, the extent of their use by superintendents and their level of efficacy are not well understood. This survey study was designed to better describe biostim ...
... Primary and secondary models were developed for quantitatively characterizing the survival of Listeria monocytogenes in soy-sauce based acidified Asian style products that do not undergo a thermal treatment. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of food matrix properties on L. monocytogenes' survival in soy sauce-based products. This quantification enables a product-specific estim ...
... In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the immobilization of plant growth-regulating microorganisms in various carriers, showing different degrees of effectiveness. Among the carriers, polymeric materials, including alginate-based, have attracted considerable attention. This review aims to provide an overview of research related to matrix selection for the effective encapsulation o ...
... Restoring enzyme function in barren, brownfield soils using green strategies can improve microbial functioning and enable phytoremediation. It is known that adding simple, readily metabolized substrates secreted by growing plant roots (root exudates) or a laboratory prepared solution of root exudates (artificial root exudates) can stimulate soil microbial function. It is not known whether and how ...

Abstract:
... It is important to investigate the possibility of pathogen transmission between cultivated and uncultivated hosts due to the role of the latter in pathogen evolution and the creation of new pathotypes which may break resistance genes of cultivated hosts. Wild hosts can also act as a pathogen reservoir offseason and cause pathogen survival. Spot form of net blotch (SFNB), caused by the fungus Pyren ...

There is, therefore, an upsurge in marketing of air decontamination technologies, but with no proper validation of their claims. We addressed the gap through the construction and use of a versatile room‐sized (25 m³) chamber to study airbo ...
