• Important protection for men and goods: Ceresana analyzes the global growth market biocides

  Biocides are used to prevent damages caused by microbes or other organisms. They protect industrial products and consumer goods as well as animals and human beings. In contrast to the closely related crop protection products that are utilized in the agricultural sector only, biocides may be used in more

• Killer silk: Making silk fibers that kill anthrax and other microbes in minutes

  A simple, inexpensive dip-and-dry treatment can convert ordinary silk into a fabric that kills disease-causing bacteria — even the armor-coated spores of microbes like anthrax — in minutes, scientists are reporting in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. They describe a range of potential more

• Brewery waste is scientific fodder for producing liquid biofuels

  Anyone cracking open a cold beer is probably not considering the wastewater left over after the beer was brewed. But for Cornell researchers, that vinegary effluent is a scientific playground for devising ways to transform wastewater into biofuels.Employing powerful genome sequencing tools, Cornell more

• Molecular composition of dissolved organic matter from a wetland plant (Juncus effusus) after photochemical and microbial decomposition (1.25 yr): Common features with deep sea ...

  Publication date: Available online 9 May 2013 Source:Organic Geochemistry Author(s): Pamela E. Rossel , Anssi V. Vähätalo , Matthias Witt , Thorsten Dittmar We hypothesized that microbial and photochemical processing of dissolved organic matter (DOM) determines its molecular formula compos more

• The molecular basis for Mucosal-Associated Invariant T cell recognition of MR1 proteins [Immunology]

  Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are an evolutionarily conserved αβ T-cell lineage that express a semi-invariant T-cell receptor (TCR) restricted to the MHC related-1 (MR1) protein. MAIT cells are dependent upon MR1 expression and exposure to microbes for their development and stimulation more

• Tracking the Fate of Microbially Sequestered Carbon Dioxide in Soil Organic Matter

  The microbial contribution to soil organic matter (SOM) has recently been shown to be much larger than previously thought and thus its role in carbon sequestration may also be underestimated. In this study we employ 13C (13CO2) to assess the potential CO2 sequestration capacity of soil chemoautotrop more
