In order to improve the reuse degree of Rubrivivax gelatinosus (R. gelatinosus) resource in soybean producing wastewater (SPW) treatment, impacts diverse illumination strength on R. biomass and organic contaminant abatement were discussed. It was reported that with best (6,000 lux), production (3,800 mg/L) increased by sixty percent dark group. COD removal protein rate got 85 80%. Influence gro...

Intervention: The intervention consisted of five weeks of daily sessions of light treatment in the participant’s home. Participants were advised to complete their session before 10:00 each morning, sitting at a distance of 40 cm with the head directed towards the light. The treatment sessions lasted for one hour a day (intensity: 10000 lux at 40 cm) while the placebo involved dim red light for ...

Vibrio fischeri isolates from Euprymna scolopes are dim in culture but bright in the host. We found the luminescence of V. fischeri to be correlated with external osmolarity both in culture and in this symbiosis. Luminescence enhancement by osmolarity was independent of the lux promoter and unaffected by autoinducers or the level of lux expression, but the addition of an aldehyde substrate for ...

In healthy young men, administration of a single light pulse (5000 lux for 3 hr) or a single melatonin pill (5 mg) at 20:40 hr under controlled constant routine conditions of <10 lux, yielded a phase delay and a phase advance, respectively, in the circadian marker of dim light melatonin onset 24 hr later. Phase shifts after combining the two interventions were additive. Melatonin suppression is...

Some autonomous bacteria coordinate their actions using quorum-sensing (QS) signals to affect gene expression. However, noise in the gene environment can compromise the cellular response. By exercising precise control over a cell's genes and its microenvironment, we have studied the key positive autoregulation element by which the lux QS system integrates noisy signals into an epigenetic memory...

the aim of this study was to examine the effects of salinity and light intensity on the chlorophylls, ?-carotene and protein contents in dunaliella salina teod. the algae were grown in inorganic medium containing 0, 0.9, 1.8 (control), 2.6 and 3.5 m nacl under three illumination regimens [4500 (control), 9000 and 11000 lux]. the results showed that most electrophoresis protein bands were separa...

A panel of Escherichia coli strains harbouring different stress-responsive promoters fused to a lux reporter system was used to assess the potential toxicity of 17 unknown model water samples. Using liquid cultures, nine out of 14 toxic samples were properly identified as toxic, whereas five were false negatives. All three non-toxic controls were identified correctly (no false positives). Two s...

Let N be the set of natural numbers and let a: N -* N be an injection having no periodic points. Let M0 be the set of o-invariant means on lx. When / G lx let da(f) = sup X(/), where the supremum is taken over all X G M„. It is shown that when/ e lx, there is a sequence (\)TM=2 of extreme points of M„ which has no extreme weak* limit points and such that \s(f) = dQ(f) for s = 2, 3, .... As a co...
