Metal-enzyme nanoaggregates eradicate both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and their biofilms
(2018-11-13)
Article
Accés obertTo palliate the appearance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the use of bactericidal agents acting differently than conventional antibiotics and the elimination of bacterial biofilm, are the two most promising strategies. ... -
Microbial communities from different types of natural wastewater treatment systems: vertical and horizontal flow constructed wetlands and biofilters
(2014-05-15)
Article
Accés obertThe prokaryotic microbial communities (Bacteria and Archaea) of three different systems operating in Denmark for the treatment of domestic wastewater (horizontal flow constructed wetlands (HFCW), vertical flow constructed ... -
On the wireless microwave sensing of bacterial membrane potential in microfluidic-actuated platforms
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-05-14)
Article
Accés obertThe investigation of the electromagnetic properties of biological particles in microfluidic platforms may enable microwave wireless monitoring and interaction with the functional activity of microorganisms. Of high relevance ... -
Predicting fecal sources in waters with diverse pollution loads using general and molecular host-specific indicators and applying machine learning methods
(2015-03-15)
Article
Accés obertIn this study we use a machine learning software (Ichnaea) to generate predictive models for water samples with different concentrations of fecal contamination (point source, moderate and low). We applied several MST methods ... -
Prevalence study of Simkania negevensis in cooling towers in Spain
(2011-06)
Article
Accés obertSimkania negevensis is an obligate intracellular bacterium grouped into the order Chlamydiales. This new amoeba-resistant intracellular bacterium might represent a novel etiologic agent of bronchiolitis and community-acquired ... -
Satellites in the prokaryote world
(2019-09-18)
Article
Accés obertBackground Satellites or tandem repeats are very abundant in many eukaryotic genomes. Occasionally they have been reported to be present in some prokaryotes, but to our knowledge there is no general comparative study ... -
Smart sensing fabrics for live bacteria detection
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2018-11-27)
Article
Accés obertA smart textile for live bacteria detection of antimicrobial hospital tissues is here proposed. The capacity to detect viable bacteria is based on the use of Prussian Blue (PB) as electrochromic compound, with a clear ... -
Sonochemical synthesis and stabilization of concentrated antimicrobial silver-chitosan nanoparticle dispersions
(Wiley, 2017-08)
Article
Accés obertThis work reports on a green synthetic route to produce concentrated aqueous dispersions of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) employing high-intensity ultrasound (US) and chitosan (CS) as a non-toxic reducing agent for Ag1 salts ... -
Tailoring the self-assembly of a tripeptide for the formation of antimicrobial surfaces
(2019-05-14)
Article
Accés obertThe accumulation of bacteria on surfaces is currently one of the greatest concerns f or the supply of proper health, water and energy. Here, we describe the mechanism by which a single peptide forms two ... -
Tandem repeats in Bacillus: Unique features and taxonomic distribution
(2021-05-20)
Article
Accés obertLittle is known about DNA tandem repeats across prokaryotes. We have recently described an enigmatic group of tandem repeats in bacterial genomes with a constant repeat size but variable sequence. These findings strongly ... -
The effects of sediment depth and oxygen concentration on the use of organic matter: an experimental study using an infiltration sediment tank
(2015-04-02)
Article
Accés obertWater flowing through hyporheic river sediments or artificial recharge facilities promotes the development of microbial communities with sediment depth. We performed an 83-day mesocosm infiltration experment, to study ... -
Tracking of antibiotic resistance transfer and rapid plasmid evolution in a hospital setting by Nanopore sequencing
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020)
Article
Accés obertInfections with multidrug-resistant bacteria often leave limited or no treatment options. The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) carrying plasmids between bacterial species by horizontal gene transfer represents ... -
What ecological factors shape species-area curves in neutral models?
(2012-06-04)
Article
Accés obertUnderstanding factors that shape biodiversity and species coexistence across scales is of utmost importance in ecology, both theoretically and for conservation policies. Species-area relationships (SARs), measuring how the ...
