The role of cydB gene in the biofilm formation by Campylobacter jejuni.

Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of food- and water-borne bacterial infections in humans. A key factor helping bacteria to survive adverse environmental conditions is biofilm formation ability. Nonetheless, the molecular basis underlying biofilm formation by C.

Threats to inland wetlands and uncertainty around global soil carbon stocks and sequestration rates.

Wetlands are vital in climate change mitigation, carbon and nutrient cycling, water quality improvement, flood regulation, wildlife habitat provision, and biodiversity maintenance. However, various threats undermine their integrity and capacity to provide these ecosystem services. In this review and quantitative analysis, we identified the most significant threats to inland wetlands, estimated soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and sequestration rates across regions and climate zones, and pinpointed the sources of uncertainties in global estimates.

Antibiofilm and Antimicrobial Potentials of Novel Synthesized Sulfur Camphor Derivatives.

The question being posed by scientists around the world is how different chemical modifications of naturally occurring compounds will affect their antimicrobial properties. In the current study, sulfur derivatives of camphor containing a sulfur atom were tested to detect their antimicrobial and antibiofilm potentials. The new compounds were tested on eight Gram-positive strains ( (3 isolates), (4 isolates), and (1 isolate)) and eight Gram-negative strains ( (6 isolates), (1 isolate), and (1 isolate)).

Comparison of the Effects of Essential Oils from and on Selected Bacteria, Rumen Fermentation, and Methane Production-In Vitro Study.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of essential oils (EOs) extracted from L. and Lam. on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics, selected rumen microbial populations, and methane production.
