Ferriphaselus amnicola GF-20 is the first Fe-oxidizing bacterium isolated from the continental subsurface. It was isolated from groundwater circulating at 20 m depth in the fractured-rock catchment observatory of Guidel-Ploemeur (France). Strain GF-20 is a neutrophilic, iron- and thiosulfate-oxidizer and grows autotrophically.

Poultry wastes are rich in organic matter, allowing their use as substrates for biogas production by anaerobic digestion (AD). The major difficulty in the anaerobic digestion of this protein-rich waste is ammonia inhibition. Different results of biochemical methane potential (BMP) were obtained after the mesophilic anaerobic digestion of different avian waste in batch mode.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study focuses on congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), a serious birth defect that affects 1 in 4000 births, and aims to analyze genetic variations (CNVs) linked to this condition using advanced genetic testing methods.
  • - Researchers examined 47 fetuses and newborns with CDH and discovered an average of 10.2 CNVs per individual, identifying a total of 480 CNVs categorized by their potential significance.
  • - The analysis suggests a connection between 11 candidate genes and the occurrence of CDH, which may enhance diagnostic approaches and understanding of this complex condition.

Despite increasing insight into the genetics of infertility, the developmental disease processes remain unclear due to the lack of adequate experimental models. The advent of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has provided a unique tool for in vitro disease modeling enabling major advances in our understanding of developmental disease processes. We report the full characterization of complex genetic abnormalities in two infertile patients with either azoospermia or XX male syndrome and we identify genes of potential interest implicated in their infertility.

Background: Terminal deletions of the long arm of chromosome 7 are well known and frequently associated with syndromic holoprosencephaly due to the involvement of the SHH (aliases HHG1, SMMCI, TPT, TPTPS, and MCOPCB5) gene region. However, interstitial deletions including CNTNAP2 (aliases Caspr2, KIAA0868, and NRXN4) and excluding the SHH region are less common.

Methods: We report the clinical and molecular characterization associated with pure 7q35 and 7q35q36.
