New growth medium based on inedible substrate - meat processing waste products of slaughterhouses - was developed. New medium was characterized by physical, chemical, and biological properties using exacting and non-exacting microorganisms, as well as by periodical cultivation of Corynebacterium diphtheriae strain and obtaining the preparation of its antigens. The experimental medium provided the growth of chosen test-strains with typical properties. From biomass obtained during the periodic cultivation of model toxigenic strain of C. diphtheriae on liquid experimental growth medium, preparation with antigenic properties was extracted. It has been shown that biologic characteristics of experimental growth medium did not differ from those of meat-peptone medium that allows to use it for cultivation of bacteria from various taxonomic groups.

Water systems can act as an important reservoir for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can pose public health risks during human contact. Carbapenem resistance is one of the most concerning resistances in P. aeruginosa making it a high-priority pathogen according to the World Health Organization (WHO), due to its ability to cause difficult-to-treat infections.

Delivered a day after Britain's National Health Service (NHS) reached its 75th year since its opening on the Appointed Day of 5 July 1948, the Pimlott Lecture for 2023 explored the culture of NHS anniversary-making. What can the marking of these anniversaries tell us about changing attitudes towards the service, and indeed, the British state? Here, examining evidence from the media, government archives, and Mass Observation, we argue that NHS anniversaries have long functioned as points of reflection but that their role as moments of national celebration and even communion has come to the fore only recently and culminated in the apparent 'anniversary fever' of 2018. We will explore the reasons behind the growing public fervour, what it can tell us, and the lessons offered by our work on this (still) best-loved of British institutions for historians working on highly politicized objects in 'fevered' times.

Genetic variation for malting quality as well as metabolomic and near-infrared features was identified. However, metabolomic and near-infrared features as additional omics-information did not improve accuracy of predicted breeding values. Significant attention has recently been given to the potential benefits of metabolomics and near-infrared spectroscopy technologies for enhancing genetic evaluation in breeding programs.

Wastewater and livestock waste can be used as a cheap source of nutrients for microalgae growth. In this work, a cocktail waste medium (CWM) was developed using 75% Chhalera municipal wastewater (C-MWW), 25% Parag dairy wastewater (P-DWW), and 15 g L of poultry litter extract (PLE-15) for low-cost cultivation of Chlorella sp. BRE4.

Background: We have developed a technology for isolating extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from the central nervous system present in plasma.
Method: Initially, we differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) into neurons to examine the membrane surface molecules of neuron-derived EVs in culture media. Our analysis revealed a specific interest in neuron-specific APLP1.
