The impact of temperature on the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in mineral waters originated from different wells: A predictive approach.

This study aimed to evaluate the behavior of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSA) in natural mineral water sourced from three different extraction wells and stored at various temperatures (10, 12, 20, 23, and 30 °C) to calculate the kinetic growth parameters of this microorganism through predictive modeling. The physicochemical characterization of waters was also evaluated at the time of collection, and included the analysis of 40 different minerals, and quality parameters such as pH, conductivity, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), total dissolved solids (TDS), salinity (PSU), and temperature (T). PSA survived in raw mineral water incubated at 12, 20, 23, and 30 °C; however, no growth was observed at 10 °C.

Dengue virus non-structural protein 3 inhibits mitochondrial respiration by impairing complex I function.

Unlabelled: Dengue virus (DENV) infection is known to affect host cell metabolism, but the molecular players involved are still poorly known. Using a proteomics approach, we identified six DENV proteins associated with mitochondria isolated from infected hepatocytes, and most of the peptides identified were from NS3. We also found an at least twofold decrease of several electron transport system (ETS) host proteins.

Metal-doped niobate pyrochlores and double-perovskites for glycerol valorization: structural and electronic properties and DFT calculations.

In this study, metal-doped niobates and perovskites were obtained by a solid-state reaction. The solids were evaluated in the esterification of glycerol in the presence of acetic acid to produce valuable esters of glycerol. The structural features of the solids indicated the ZnNbO, PbNbO and CuNbO columbite main phases and LaMnFeO double-perovskite.

Effects on structure by spectroscopic investigations, valence state and morphology properties of FeCo-containing SnO catalysts for glycerol valorization to cyclic acetals.

The effects on the structure, valence state and morphological properties of FeCo-containing SnO nanostructured solids were investigated. The physicochemical features were tuned by distinct synthesis routes e.g.
