This distinction is crucial, especially given the complexities and limitations inherent in microbial classification. In microbial research, OTUs are primarily utilized to analyze gene sequence datasets, particularly those derived from modern sequencing technologies. ...
Commonalities Sample-Based Analysis: All three technologies—virome, metagenome, and amplicon—are built on the foundation of studying microbial DNA within a sample, avoiding the need for microbial isolation, cultivation, or purification. ...
The subject site is a former dry cleaning facility in Northern Europe, where a large tetrachloroethylene (PCE) plume was impacting groundwater on and off-site. In 2017, CAT 100 and BOS 100® were applied as part of a large-scale remediation program. Currently, a 95% average reduction in PCE plume concentrations has been observed in the monitoring wells located in the areas targeted by the ...
Through bioinformatics/statistical analysis, a large number of data are processed and analyzed to find the microbial community composition related to environmental factors (antibiotic use, bacterial inflammation, etc.) in the genital tract. ...
Bioinformatics is a discipline developed on the basis of biology, mathematics and computer science. It effectively acquires and analyzes biological data such as nucleic acid sequences and protein structures, so as to conduct comprehensive and accurate biological analysis. ...
These analytical approaches allow us to probe not only the representative human gut microbial structure and metabolic activity, but also to systematically analyze microbial-drug interactions by identifying related microbial metabolic pathways. ...
Welcome to our USP 1116 questions and answers blog, where Particle Measuring Systems answers commonly asked questions pertaining to the USP 1116 guidance. Listen to the webinar to learn more about microbial testing in cleanrooms and the USP 1116 ...
A large part of bacterial, archaeal, viral, and fungal microbial taxa consists of the human microbiome. While many of these microorganisms are commensal, some are harmful to humans and many are symbiotic. ...
Water pans constitute the main source of rural water supply in Baringo County. This study sought to assess the spatial-temporal variation of total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Fecal streptococcus and Salmonella species in the water pans. A sanitary survey was conducted to observe the potential sources of microbial contamination on the water pans. Water was sampled from one protected and five ...
Despite its frequent use in many religious institutions, the microbiological quality of holy water is clearly underinvestigated. We analyzed the microbial load of 54 holy water samples, repeatedly taken in five Roman Catholic churches in the greater area of Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, by means of aerobic colony counting and Matrix-Assisted Laser ...
This study describes the first Norwegian microbial source tracking (MST) approach for water quality control and pollution removal from catchment run-off in a nature-based treatment system (NBTS) with a constructed wetland. The applied MST tools combined microbial analyses and molecular tests to detect and define the source(s) and dominant origin(s) of faecal water contamination. Faecal ...
Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) processes are a promising method of recovering energy from municipal wastewater. In this study, a pilot-scale AnMBR with extremely short hydraulic retention time (HRT = 2.2 h) was operated at a flux of 6 L/(m2h) for 340 days without any membrane cleaning. The average value achieved for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal was 87% and for methane yield was ...
While traditional application of quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) models usually stops at analyzing the microbial risk under typical operating conditions, this paper proposes the use of scenario-based risk assessment to predict the impact of potential challenges on the expected risk. ...
Despite the reported health-related advantages of the use of warm water in bidets, there are health-related disadvantages associated with the use of these toilet seats, and the bacterial research is sparse. We conducted a survey on the hygienic conditions of 127 warm-water bidet toilet seats in restrooms on a university campus. The spray water from the toilet seats had less residual chlorine ...

Illumina high-throughput sequencing was applied to in-depth analyze microbial changes and results showed SWCNTs differently perturbed the alpha diversity of the six groups (one increase, two decrease, three no change). Furthermore, the microbial community structures were shifted, and specific bacterial performance in each group was different. ...
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of side-stream ratio (SSR) on performance of phosphorus (P) removal and recovery in a novel process linking biological nutrients removal (BNR) and induced crystallization (IC). Results showed that P removal efficiency was significantly enhanced when given an appropriate SSR, resulting in effluent P concentrations decreasing from 0.75 to 0.39 mg/L ...
We studied the flocculation behaviours of microbial communities in 21 soil, wastewater and activated sludge samples to clarify the effects of culture medium types on flocculation ability and screening efficiency, and to analyze diverse functions and microbial compositions. The bioflocculants produced by 33% of the ...
Drinking water disinfection techniques without the dosage of chemicals are regarded as more advantageous in terms of costs and practical use. Here we investigated the efficacy of electrochemical disinfection for inactivation of Bacillus subtilis spores – a model microorganism of highly resistant pathogens. The effect of electrochemical disinfection with TinO2n−1 ceramic electrodes ...
Effects of metal contamination on soil microbial community traits were measured along two pollution gradients in Southern Poland. Employing an experimental regression design, using two separate gradients, we aimed to control for effects of soil properties and beta‐diversity of microbial communities. General microbial activity was measured as soil ...
