Carbon-dependent chromate toxicity mechanism in an environmental Arthrobacter isolate
(2018-08)Arthrobacter spp. are widespread in soil systems and well-known for their Cr(VI) reduction capabilities making them attractive candidates for in situ bioremediation efforts. Cellulose drives carbon flow in soil systems; ... -
Polynomial accelerated solutions to a LARGE Gaussian model for imaging biofilms: in theory and finite precision
(2018-06)Three-dimensional confocal scanning laser microscope images offer dramatic visualizations of living biofilms before and after interventions. Here, we use confocal microscopy to study the effect of a treatment over time ... -
Endophytic fungal production rates of volatile organic compounds are highest under microaerophilic conditions
(2017-11)Volatile organic compound (VOC) production from an endophytic fungus was quantified at four oxygen concentrations (0, 1, 13 and 21 %) throughout culture growth phases. The filamentous fungus, a Nodulisporium sp. (designated ... -
Biological treatment of selenium-laden wastewater containing nitrate and sulfate in an upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactor at pH 5.0
(2018-11)This study investigated the removal of selenate (SeO42−), sulfate (SO42−) and nitrate (NO3−) at different influent pH values ranging from 7.0 to 5.0 and 20 °C in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor using ... -
Enhancing wellbore cement integrity with microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP): A field scale demonstration
(2018-12)The presence of delaminations, apertures, fractures, voids and other unrestricted flow channels in the wellbore environment substantially reduces wellbore integrity. Compromised cement may cause a loss of zonal isolation ... -
Biogenic coal-to-methane conversion efficiency decreases after repeated organic amendment stimulation
(2018-01)Addition of organic amendments to coal-containing systems can increase the rate and extent of biogenic methane production for 60−80 days before production slows or stops. Understanding the effect of repeated amendment ... -
Reproducibility of antimicrobial test methods
(2018-08)We review reproducibility results for methods that test antimicrobial efficacy against biofilms, spores and bacteria dried onto a surface. Our review, that included test results for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella ... -
Force-Mediating Magnetic Nanoparticles to Engineer Neuronal Cell Function
(2018-05)Cellular processes like membrane deformation, cell migration, and transport of organelles are sensitive to mechanical forces. Technically, these cellular processes can be manipulated through operating forces at a spatial ... -
Competitive resource allocation to metabolic pathways contributes to overflow metabolisms and emergent properties in cross-feeding microbial consortia
(2018-02)Resource scarcity is a common stress in nature and has a major impact on microbial physiology. This review highlights microbial acclimations to resource scarcity, focusing on resource investment strategies for chemoheterotrophs ... -
Discrimination of herbicide-resistant kochia with hyperspectral imaging
(2018-03)A hyperspectral imager was used to differentiate herbicide-resistant versus herbicide-susceptible biotypes of the agronomic weed kochia, in different crops in the field at the Southern Agricultural Research Center in ... -
First characterization of a biphasic, switch-like DNA amplification
(2018-03)We report the first DNA amplification chemistry with switch-like characteristics: the chemistry is biphasic, with an expected initial phase followed by an unprecedented high gain burst of product oligonucleotide in a second ... -
Quantifying NMR relaxation correlation and exchange in articular cartilage with time domain analysis
(2018-02)Measured nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) transverse relaxation data in articular cartilage has been shown to be multi-exponential and correlated to the health of the tissue. The observed relaxation rates are dependent on ... -
Opportunities and Trade-offs among BECCS and the Food, Water, Energy, Biodiversity, and Social Systems Nexus at Regional Scales
(2018-01)Carbon dioxide must be removed from the atmosphere to limit climate change to 2°C or less. The integrated assessment models used to develop climate policy acknowledge the need to implement net negative carbon emission ... -
Microbial Functional Gene Diversity Predicts Groundwater Contamination and Ecosystem Functioning
(2018-02)Contamination from anthropogenic activities has significantly impacted Earth\'s biosphere. However, knowledge about how environmental contamination affects the biodiversity of groundwater microbiomes and ecosystem functioning ... -
Genome Context Viewer: visual exploration of multiple annotated genomes using microsynteny
(2017-12)The Genome Context Viewer is a visual data-mining tool that allows users to search across multiple providers of genome data for regions with similarly annotated content that may be aligned and visualized at the level of ... -
How long is enough? Identification of product dry-time as a primary driver of alcohol-based hand rub efficacy
(2018-05)Background The World Health Organization has called for the development of improved methodologies to evaluate alcohol-based handrub (ABHR) efficacy, including evaluation at “short application times and volumes that reflect ... -
Dynamic processing of DOM: Insight from exometabolomics, fluorescence spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry
(2018-04)Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in freshwater environments is an important source of organic carbon, supporting bacterial respiration. Frozen environments cover vast expanses of our planet, with glaciers and ice‐sheets ... -
Assessment of Nannochloropsis gaditana growth and lipid accumulation with increased inorganic carbon delivery
(2018-04)Algal biomass refineries for sustainable transportation fuels, in particular biodiesel, will benefit from algal strain enhancements to improve biomass and lipid productivity. Specifically, the supply of inorganic carbon ... -
Low-Field Borehole NMR Applications in the Near-Surface Environment
(2018-01)The inherent heterogeneity of the near subsurface (<200 m below the ground surface) presents challenges for agricultural water management, hydrogeologic characterization, and engineering, among other fields. Borehole nuclear ... -
