Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has emerged as a promising technique for environmental remediation, particularly for heavy metal removal. This study explores the potential of MICP for Cr(iii) removal, analyzing the effects of temperature, pH, calcium source addition, and initial Cr(iii) concentration on removal efficiency. The results show that Cr(iii) can be efficiently removed with a removal rate approaching 100% under optimal conditions (25 °C, pH 7.0, 1.0 g CaCl). The presence of Cr(iii) induces the transformation of CaCO crystals from calcite to spherulitic aragonite, forming Cr-bearing carbonate compounds and hydroxides. This study provides insights into the mechanisms and optimal conditions for MICP-mediated Cr(iii) removal, highlighting its feasibility and effectiveness for large-scale environmental remediation and offering an economical and environmentally friendly solution to Cr contamination.

Background/aims: Digestive disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) are very common, predominant in females, and usually associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, dysbiosis, and stress. We previously found that females have increased susceptibility to intestinal barrier dysfunction in response to acute stress. However, whether this is associated with changes in the small bowel microbiota remains unknown.

Animals infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae not only develop respiratory diseases, but also cause digestive diseases through the lung-gut axis mediated by the intestinal flora, and vice versa. Antimicrobial peptides are characterized by their bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal flora-regulating properties. However, the effect of cecropin AD (CAD) against mycoplasma pneumonia remains unclear.

Objective: Peri-implant diseases (peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis) are inflammatory conditions that affect the peri-implant tissues and are induced by microbial biofilms (dental plaque) formed around the implant. Removal of biofilm is the fundamental step in managing peri-implant diseases. Interdental cleaning aids such as interdental brush, unitufted brush, or oral irrigation along with regular toothbrushing are recommended for effective plaque control around implants.
