Microbial forensics: next-generation sequencing as catalyst
W hen Antonie van Leeuwenhoek experimented with his microscopes in the late 17 century, he observed, among many other small things, bacteria from the mouth cavity. van Leeuwenhoek’s detailed descriptions of bacteria, spermatozoa, and cells marked the beginning of microbiology; his successors Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur stoked further interest in the microbial world with their discoveries of t...
متن کاملBayesian-integrated microbial forensics.
In the aftermath of the 2001 anthrax letters, researchers have been exploring ways to predict the production environment of unknown-source microorganisms. Culture medium, presence of agar, culturing temperature, and drying method are just some of the broad spectrum of characteristics an investigator might like to infer. The effects of many of these factors on microorganisms are not well underst...
متن کاملUbiquitous Computing for Microbial Forensics and Bioterrorism
abstract Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their presence. They are present in air, soil, water, and all kinds of living creatures. Varieties of microbes have been linked to diseases of humans, animals, and plants. Advances in molecular biology, electronics , nanotechnology, computer sciences, and information technology have made it possible to hybridize these to create ubiquitous devices and bi...
متن کاملA novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for decolorization and degradation of Congo red
Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...
