UCL School of Pharmacy, University College London, 29-39 Brunswick Square, London, WC1N 1AX, United Kingdom.
Objectives: In this work, an isothermal microcalorimeter was applied to investigate the antipathogenic activity of three probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium bifidum) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli using the probiotics in mixed culture with the pathogenic microorganisms.
Methods: A microcalorimeter was used to monitor the growth of the microorganisms as pure cultures and as co-cultures at 37 °C. Relative growths of the probiotics and pathogenic species were determined after microcalorimetric measurements by serial dilution and plate incubation.
Correction: Enabling direct microcalorimetric measurement of metabolic activity and exothermic reactions onto microfluidic platforms via heat flux sensor integration.

Article Synopsis
- Abandoned chemical smelting sites pose significant environmental risks due to the presence of toxic substances, with soil samples analyzed for metal(loid) content revealing high ecological risk indices that vary with depth.
- Soil depth D-1 showed the highest risk, primarily attributed to cadmium (Cd), while other metals like arsenic (As) contributed less to the overall risk.
- The study utilized a modified pollution risk index to assess contamination levels, and findings indicated low microbial activity in heavily contaminated soils, suggesting heavy metal stress impacts on microbial health.
Understanding the Interaction of Uranyl Cation with Two -Pivot Tripodal Amides: Synthesis, Complexation, Microcalorimetry, and DFT Studies.

Complexation of uranyl ions with two structurally related -pivotal tripodal amides with varying spacer lengths, synthesized for the first time, was studied by optical spectroscopy. In the tripodal amides, the coordination was through the carbonyl atoms where the carbonyl groups were away from the central atom by three spacer atoms () and four spacer atoms (), respectively. Increasing the spacer atoms going from to favors the complexation with the linear uranyl cations and results in stronger complex formation.

Heat flux measurement shows potential for the early detection of infectious growth. Our research is motivated by the possibility of using heat flux sensors for the early detection of infection on aortic vascular grafts by measuring the onset of bacterial growth. Applying heat flux measurement as an infectious marker on implant surfaces is yet to be experimentally explored.
