Abstract The response pattern of soil bacterial communities to drought events has been characterized from short-term laboratory desiccation and in naturally arid soils, but the resistance bacteria persistently long periods remains largely unknown. This study assessed abundance composition 24 historical soils air-dried for more than 70 years, by quantification high-throughput sequencing analyses...

Given the importance of spoilage caused by Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris for the fruit juice industry, the objective of this work was to study the germination and inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores induced by moderate hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure treatment can induce the germination and inactivation of A. acidoterrestris spores. At low pH, spore germination of up to 3.59...

Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris can spoil various fruit juices, and tools to reduce the impact of this contaminant are urgently needed. Here, we describe a novel therapeutic approach in which iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) were conjugated with the known antibiotic nisin (IONPs–nisin). The size, crystalline nature, magnetic characteristics and surface charge of the nanoparticles were characte...

Production and hosting by Abstract The Rehai Geothermal Field, located in Tengchong County, in central-western Yunnan Province, is the largest and most intensively studied geothermal field in China. Awide physicochemical diversity of springs (ambient to w97 C; pH from 1.8 to 9.3) provides a multitude of niches for extremophilic microorganisms. A variety of studies have focused on the cultivatio...
