Microbial biotechnology is essential for the development of circular economy in wastewater treatment by integrating energy production and resource recovery into the production of clean water. A comprehensive knowledge about identity, physiology, ecology, and population dynamics of process-critical microorganisms will improve process stability, reduce CO2 footprints, optimize recovery and bioene...

For decades, microbiologists have considered uncertainties as an undesired side effect of experimental protocols. As a consequence, standard microbial system modeling strives to hide uncertainties for the sake of deterministic understanding. However, recent studies have highlighted greater experimental variability than expected and emphasized uncertainties not as a weakness but as a necessary f...

Surface-active agents or surfactants are amphiphilic compounds derived naturally chemically synthesized. Natural so-called biosurfactants can be obtained from bacteria, yeasts, and fungi as well plants. Due to their hydrophilic hydrophobic molecules, offer the ability reduce surface interfacial tension create microemulsion between aqueous organic phases. Many studies have suggested a better sub...

BACKGROUND Manual validation of laboratory test results is time-consuming, creating a demand for expert systems to automate this process. We have started to set up the program "LabRespond", which covers five validation levels: administrative, technical, sample, patient, and clinical validation. We present the evaluation of a prototype of an automated patient validation system based on statistic...

the method has been developed and validated for the determination of hydroquinone in liposomal formulation. the samples were dissolved in methanol and evaluated in 293 nm. the validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, limit of detection (lod) and limit of quantitation (loq) were determined. the calibration curve was linear in 1-50 µg /ml range of hydroquinone an...

some biochemical characteristics of common carp (cyprinus carpio) and silver carp (hypophtalmichthys moltrix) surimi prepared by a conventional washing method and protein isolated using alkaline-acid-aided processes were investigated. solubility of protein in silver carp and common carp were found to be highest by using the conventional washing method. decreases in myoglobin and lipid contents ...

BACKGROUND To identify associations between polyphenol intake and health and disease outcomes in cohort studies, it is important to identify biomarkers of intake for the various compounds commonly consumed as part of the diet. OBJECTIVE The objective of this systematic review was to assess the usefulness of polyphenol metabolites excreted in urine as biomarkers of polyphenol intake in humans....
