The present work performs the polyphasic characterization of a novel cyanobacterial species Scytonema ambikapurensis isolated from an Indian hot spring and evaluates its wastewater bioremediation potential. While the physicochemical analyses of the wastewater indicated high load of nutrients and metals, the wastewater bioremediation experiment performed using the test cyanobacterium denoted the removal of 70 and 86% phosphate, 49 and 66% sulfate, 96 and 98% nitrate, 91 and 92% nitrite, 95 and 96% ammonia, 66 and 72% chloride, 79 and 81% zinc, 68 and 80% nickel, 81 and 90% calcium, and 80 and 90% potassium from the autoclaved and un-autoclaved wastewater, respectively, after 20 days of culturing. The kinetics study of zinc and nickel removal from wastewater revealed that the cyanobacterium employed sequential biosorption (by following pseudo-second-order kinetics model) and bioaccumulation methods to remove these two metals.

Background: This investigation aimed to determine the influence of multiple autoclave cycles on the cyclic fatigue resistance of three heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) files: EdgeTaper Platinum (ETP), ProTaper Gold (PTG), and TruNatomy Prime (TN).
Materials: Sixty NiTi files, twenty of each NiTi file type: ETP 25/.06, PTG 25/.

The objective of this study was to determine the energy utilization responses of growing pigs and broiler chickens to poultry meal that was autoclaved at 134 °C for 0 to 180 min. Poultry meal from the same batch was autoclaved at 134 °C for 7 autoclaving times of 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, or 180 min to generate 7 samples. Eight experimental diets consisting of a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal, and seven test diets in which 15% of energy-contributing ingredients in the basal diet were replaced with each of the seven poultry meal samples were used.

Aim: The survival of Clostridioides difficile (previously Clostridium difficile) vegetative cells and endospores was compared at different levels of indigenous microflora using autoclaved and unautoclaved dairy composts with different moisture contents (MCs).
Methods And Results: Both types of composts adjusted to 20, 30 and 40% MCs were inoculated with a suspension of C. difficile that contained both vegetative cells (c.
