We previously described X-ray histotomography, a high-resolution, non-destructive form of microtomography (micro-CT) imaging customized for three-dimensional (3D), digital histology, allowing quantitative, volumetric tissue and organismal phenotyping (Ding et al., 2019). Here, we have combined micro-CT with novel application ionic silver staining to characterize melanin distribution in whole ze...

In this numerical investigation, tangent hyperbolic nanofluid past a wedge-shaped surface filled with gyrotactic micro-organisms has been examined. The simulations have performed in the presence of Ohmic heating and linear thermal radiation effect. After using similarity transformation to convert modeled PDEs into ODEs, system ODEs is tackled aid shooting technique. For authenticity code, prese...

The relation between diarrhoea and vomiting, the excretion of stool micro-organisms, and the passive intestinal permeability in 20 infants living in a deprived urban area was studied prospectively from birth to age 6 months. Intestinal permeability was measured from the ratio of lactulose to mannitol recovered in the urine of infants receiving feeds containing both markers. Micro-organism excre...

Drinking water is one of the most valuable resources available to mankind. The presence of pathogens in drinking water is highly undesirable. Because of the Lateritic soil, the iron concentrations were high in ground water. High concentration of iron and other trace elements could restrict bacterial growth and modify their metabolic pattern as well. The bacterial growth rate reduced in the pres...

A bacterium isolated from a contaminated site in Sydney, Australia, utilized benzene in the liquid phase as a sole carbon source at levels toxic to other micro-organisms. The organism was a short Gram-positive rod which grew at 6% NaCl, 0-37 degrees C and pH 2-10. Biochemical tests, fatty acid analysis, and 16S rDNA sequencing identified the organism as a member of the genus Rhodococcus. Vapour...

INTRODUCTION Gordonia spp. infections are uncommon. However, a few clinical cases have been reported in the literature, particularly those involving immunocompromised hosts. Advanced microbiology diagnosis techniques, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS (MALDI-TOF MS), have been recently introduced in clinical microbiology laboratories in order to improve micro...
