We pre-grew shrimp under polyculture (shrimp-tilapia 'ST' and shrimp-mullet 'SM') and monoculture (P-control) conditions until they reached the size of 10-12 g. Then, the shrimps were collected and injected with Vibrio alginolyticus (2.1 x 10(5) CFU shrimp(-1)). Some shrimp, originating from the shrimp monoculture, was also injected with sterile sa...
A recent exhaustive analysis of lithic assemblages from four wetland sites belonging to the 5th and early 4th millennium cal BC, all situated in the Lower-Scheldt basin of NW Belgium (East Flanders), has revealed the presence of numerous faceted tools.

Oxygen (O2) quantification is essential for assessing cell metabolism, and its consumption in cell culture is an important indicator of cell viability. Recent advances in microfluidics have made O2 sensing a crucial feature for organ-on-chip (OOC) devices for various biomedical applications. OOC O2 sensors can be categorized, based on their transdu...
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) explores the potential of chemolithoautotrophs for the production of value-added products from CO2. However, the enrichment of chemolithoautotrophs on a cathode is relatively slow and the separation of the products is energy intensive. In this study, a novel and multifunctional cathode configuration, enabling the si...
