Does quorum quenching matter to microbial community dynamics in long-term membrane bioreactor operation?

Quorum quenching (QQ) has effectively prevented biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) employing isolated QQ bacterial strains. However, the influence of QQ on the microbial population still needs to be fully understood. This research aims to analyze the microbial population in MBRs over an extended period (>250 days) under different conditions, such as varying aeration intensities and doses of QQ bacteria, QQ media, and types of feed.

sp. nov., an arginine biosynthesis archaeal species isolated from the Central Indian Ocean ridge.

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) as green manure modifies the soil nutrients and microbiota structure for enhanced pepper productivity.

Spinach has been suggested as a potential rotation crop for increasing crop yield by enhancing beneficial fungal microbes in continuous monocropping. However, no research on the use of spinach as a green manure has been reported. Thus, we tested the effects of spinach and Korean mustard cultivars (green and red mustards) (10 g pot ) as green manure on soil chemical properties, pepper productivity, and soil microbiome of long-year pepper-monocropped soil.

Review of the Current State of Freely Accessible Web Tools for the Analysis of 16S rRNA Sequencing of the Gut Microbiome.

Owing to the emergence and improvement of high-throughput technology and the associated reduction in costs, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has made large-scale sampling and sequencing possible. With the large volume of data produced, the processing and downstream analysis of data are important for ensuring meaningful results and interpretation. Problems in data analysis may be encountered if researchers have little experience in using programming languages, especially if they are clinicians and beginners in the field.

Bioconversion of CO to formate by artificially designed carbon monoxide:formate oxidoreductase in hyperthermophilic archaea.

Ferredoxin-dependent metabolic engineering of electron transfer circuits has been developed to enhance redox efficiency in the field of synthetic biology, e.g., for hydrogen production and for reduction of flavoproteins or NAD(P).

Dietary regulations for microbiota dysbiosis among post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and T2D-associated comorbidities, such as obesity, are serious universally prevalent health issues among post-menopausal women. Menopause is an unavoidable condition characterized by the depletion of estrogen, a gonadotropic hormone responsible for secondary sexual characteristics in women. In addition to sexual dimorphism, estrogen also participates in glucose-lipid homeostasis, and estrogen depletion is associated with insulin resistance in the female body.

Physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities and microbial communities of Ethiopian honey wine, Tej.

Ethiopian honey wine, Tej, is spontaneously fermented traditional alcoholic beverage, usually made from honey and "gesho" (Rhamnus prinoides). Till now, limited amount of information is available on the characterization of Tej. Thus, the aim of this paper is to reveal the microbiological diversity and physicochemical properties of Tej samples collected from different areas of Ethiopia.

Photolytic quorum quenching effects on the microbial communities and functional gene expressions in membrane bioreactors.

Photolytic quorum quenching by ultraviolet A (UVA) irradiation is an effective strategy for controlling membrane bioreactor (MBR) biofouling; however, its effects on MBR microbial communities and functional genes have not yet been explored. Here, we report on the effects of the UVA irradiation, which mitigates membrane biofouling, on the microbial community structures, alpha and beta diversities, and functional gene expressions in the MBR mixed liquor and biocake (membrane fouling layer) for the first time. The results show that the microbial communities become less diversified when alternating UVA is applied to the MBRs.

Alteration of the Soil Microbiota in Ginseng Rusty Roots: Application of Machine Learning Algorithm to Explore Potential Biomarkers for Diagnostic and Predictive Analytics.

Conceptualization to utilize microbial composition as a prediction tool has been widely applied in human cohorts, yet the potential capacity of soil microbiota as a diagnostic tool to predict plant phenotype remains unknown. Here, we collected 130 soil samples which are 54 healthy controls and 76 ginseng rusty roots (GRRs). Alpha diversities including Shannon, Simpson, Chao1, and phylogenetic diversity were significantly decreased in GRR ( < 0.

Effect of a bioconverted product of Lotus corniculatus seed on the axillary microbiome and body odor.

The skin microbiome, especially the axillary microbiome, consists of odor-causing bacteria that decompose odorless sweat into malodor compounds, which contributes to the formation of body odor. Plant-derived products are a cheap source of bioactive compounds that are common ingredients in cosmetics. Microbial bioconversion of natural products is an ecofriendly and economical method for production of new or improved biologically active compounds.

Can Voice Pitch Be Preserved in Patients after Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach?

Introduction: Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) has become increasingly popular. Several reports have emphasized the safety and efficacy of this new approach. However, there is no report on functional voice outcomes, including voice pitch change after TOETVA.

Gasless transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (gasless TOETVA).

Background: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) has been the subject of increasing interest from several institutions around the world over the last 2 years.

Transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery using robotic scope holder: Our initial experiences.

Background: : Transoral thyroid surgery represented by the da Vinci system is attracted attention and performed by several institutions. However, the current available da Vinci system still has some limitations to be improved for transoral thyroid surgery including high cost of equipment and expendables, larger diameter scope and instruments and no tactile sensation. It triggered us interest in more easily available robotic scope holder.

Analysis of muscular elasticity according to infrared and ultrasound therapy by sonoelastography.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of physical therapy on elasticity of muscles quantitatively by using sonoelastography equipment in infrared and ultrasound treatment commonly used in hospital physical therapy rooms.
