Biocalorimetric experiments were performed to investigate the aerobic growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, isolated from tannery saline wastewater. Growth factors (pH, Inoculum size, carbon source, temperature, aeration rate, and agitation rate) were optimized in shaker and calorimeter based on the growth of P. aeruginosa and heat generation rates. A limiting value of 0.2% glucose concentration was found to be optimum for the growth of P. aeruginosa in a complex growth medium, and the heat flux (q(r)) profiles resulting from the metabolic activity of P. aeruginosa further confirmed this observation. The bacterial growth profile was found to correlate well with the metabolic heat generated. Heat-yield values were calculated for both glucose consumption and the growth of P. aeruginosa from the calorimetric results. Metabolic shifts in substrate uptake from glucose to peptone present in growth medium was observed by the variations in heat-flux profile. The calorimetric data presented in this study should be useful in understanding the behavior of the isolated bacterial strain in degrading complex and mixed substrates commonly observed in tannery saline waste stream, and further to extend the results for scale-up studies.

Unlabelled: Current laboratory protocols for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) involve a standard 10- to 14-day incubation period. However, recent evidence indicates considerable variability in the time to diagnosis (TTD) between acute and chronic PJIs. TTD is also influenced by the employed culture media and sample types.

Unlabelled: Remote polar regions offer unique opportunities and significant challenges for antimicrobial resistance research in a near-pristine environment. While core microbiology techniques continue to have an important role in supporting environmental research, the severe cold climate presents considerable challenges to laboratory research. We explore adaptations required for core bacteriology investigations in polar regions on an unsupported remote expedition c.

Objective: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are considered diagnostic and prognostic indicators of dementia and are attributable to neurodegenerative processes. Little is known about the prognostic value of early NPS on executive functioning (EF) decline in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). We examined whether baseline NPS predicted the rate of executive function (EF) decline among older adults with ADRD.

Quantifying changes in the properties of smoke aerosols under varying conditions is important for understanding the health and environmental impacts of exposure to smoke. Smoke composition, aerosol liquid water content, effective density (ρ), and other properties can change significantly as smoke travels through areas under different ambient conditions and over time. During this study, we measured changes in smoke composition and physical properties due to oxidative aging and exposure to humidity.
