Recovery and cultivation of diverse environmentally-relevant microorganisms from the terrestrial subsurface remain a challenge despite recent advances in modern molecular technology. Here, we applied complex carbon (C) sources, i.e., sediment dissolved organic matter (DOM) and bacterial cell lysate, to enrich groundwater microbial communities for 3...

The richness of high-value bio-compounds derived from microalgae has made microalgae a promising and sustainable source of useful product. The present work starts with a review on the usage of open pond and photobioreactor in culturing various microalgae strains, followed by an in-depth evaluation on the common harvesting techniques used to collect...

Despite increasing popularity of farmer-led irrigation in Ethiopia, little is known about socio-economics of farmers who receive public support in accelerating its expansion. We investigate this question by combining spatial land suitability for groundwater- and solar irrigation with pre-existing socioeconomic data. We find that if public support i...

Membranes
Cross-flow microfiltration is a broadly accepted technique for separation of microbial biomass after the cultivation process. However, membrane fouling emerges as the main problem affecting permeate flux decline and separation process efficiency. Hydrodynamic methods, such as turbulence promoters and air sparging, were tested to improve permeate fl...

The growing need for Lactobacillus bacteria usage in industry and the expending probiotic market led to a search for new cost-efficient fermentation media from which a high yield of these bacteria could be obtained. The following study aimed to elaborate cultivation medium, for Lactobacillus spp. growth, which main components would be wheat, maize,...

Naturally occurring 210Pb and artificial 137Cs fallouts are widely used as radioactive tracers for the determination of water-induced soil erosion for different time scales equal to 50 and 100 years, respectively. There exist several calibration models useful to convert the variation of the inventory of these radiotracers in cultivated soil compare...

Abstract—Deep biosphere is an prolific source of novel prokaryotes. A phylogenetically distant lineage of Firmicutes was reported in 2019 as a new genus Thermoanaerosсeptrum. Ecology of this group remains uncertain, since the only known species, T. fracticalcis, gains energy from the use of fumarate, and the source of the latter in groundwater is n...

Multi-omics approaches, including metagenomics and single-cell amplified genomics, have revolutionized our understanding of the hidden diversity and function of microbes in nature. Even in the omics age, cultivation is an essential discipline in microbial ecology since microbial cultures are necessary to assess the validity of an in silico predicti...

Objectives The aim of the study was comparison of PCR-based molecular methods to cultivation and evaluation of their role in bacterial diagnostics of different syndromes. We wanted to further investigate the first hospital outbreak of carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae and other isolates circulating in the population. We also wanted to e...

AbstractRussian and international publications on the antiviral activity of medicinal mushrooms against influenza, which have been studied in cell culture and animal models, on the presence of sialidase (neuraminidase) inhibitors and RNA polymerase inhibitors of influenza virus are considered. The activity against influenza of both aqueous extracts...
