Bioaccumulation of molybdate ions by alkanotrophic Rhodococcus leads to significant alterations in cellular ultrastructure and physiology.

Alkanotrophic Rhodococcus strains from the Regional Specialised Collection of Alkanotrophic Microorganisms (acronym IEGM, www.iegmcol.ru) were screened for accumulation and sorption of MoO ions.

Phenotypic and metabolic adaptations of strain IEGM 1243 to separate and combined effects of diclofenac and ibuprofen.

Introduction: The increasing use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has raised concerns regarding their environmental impact. To address this, understanding the effects of NSAIDs on bacteria is crucial for bioremediation efforts in pharmaceutical-contaminated environments. The primary challenge in breaking down persistent compounds lies not in the biochemical pathways but in capacity of bacteria to surmount stressors.

Distinct Effects of Moxifloxacin and Bedaquiline on Growing and 'Non-Culturable' .

has recently emerged as the cause of an increasing number of human infections worldwide. Unfortunately, it is highly resistant to existing drugs, and new specific agents to combat have not yet been found. The discovery of antibiotics that are effective not only against replicating but also against dormant and often recalcitrant cells is a daunting challenge.

Highly purified DNA-containing cell envelopes from fungi for direct use in PCR.

Efficient DNA sample preparation from fungi with the rigid cell walls is still critical for successful polymerase chain reaction (PCR), one of the basic platforms in molecular diagnostics of fungi, especially in medical mycology. Common methods that involve different chaotropes to yield DNA samples have found a limited application for fungi. Here we describe a novel procedure for efficient production of permeable fungal cell envelopes with DNA inside as suitable templates for PCR.
