Probiotic supplementation plays a key role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis due to its ability to modulate gut microbiota. Although their potential as potent antioxidants have previously been explored, their ability to affect the redox status in the gut lumen of

The aim of this study was to assess the sensitivity, specificity and time to results of mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) 960, microscopic observation drug susceptibility (MODS) assay and nitrate reductase assay (NRA) compared with the gold standard agar proportion
Microalgal starch is a potential feedstock for biofuel production. The effects of KNO(3) and MgSO(4) concentrations and light intensity on biomass and starch production by the marine microalga, Tetraselmis subcordiformis, were investigated. Under 200 μmol m(-2) s(-1) irradiance and sulfur-deprived
Applied and environmental microbiology, 80(1), 29-42 (2013-10-01)
Bacteria play important roles in mineral weathering and soil formation. However, few reports of mineral weathering bacteria inhabiting subsurfaces of soil profiles have been published, raising the question of whether the subsurface weathering bacteria are fundamentally distinct from those in

A highly efficient Zn(2+) "turn-on" fluorescent sensor, [4'-benzo-15-crown-5]N=CH-(2-OH-C(6)H(4)) (HL), has been synthesized. In the presence of Zn(NO(3))(2), displays high selectivity and sensitive enhancement of fluorescence intensity in water with the formation of [ZnL(2)]. Addition of an equimolar amount of KNO(3)
