Flow cytometry (FCM) is rapidly becoming an essential tool in the field of aquatic
microbiology. It provides opportunities for microbial analysis at both the community and …

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is a globally important biotechnological
process and relies on the massive accumulation of phosphate within special …

Flow cytometry (FCM) is a powerful technique for single-bacteria analysis via simultaneous
light-scattering and fluorescence measurements. By offering high-throughput, quantitative …

The aim of this study was to investigate the PHB and glycogen accumulation dynamics in
two photobioreactors inoculated with different monocultures of wastewater-borne …

Bacterial abundance is a fundamental measure in microbiology, but its assessment is often
tedious, especially for soil, and sediment samples. To overcome this limitation, we adopted a …

Dielectric barrier discharge plasma has been known to inactivate many different
microorganisms on surfaces when treatment times are on the order of seconds or minutes in …

Metabarcoding of the 16S rRNA gene is commonly used to characterize microbial
communities, by estimating the relative abundance of microbes. Here, we present a method …

A rapid multi-step procedure, potentially amenable to automation, was proposed for
quantifying viable and active bacterial cells, estimating their biovolume using flow cytometry …

Culture medium heterogeneity is inherent in industrial bioreactors. The loss of mixing
efficiency in a large-scale bioreactor yields to the formation of concentration gradients …

To quantitatively evaluate the impact of microbial immigration from an upstream community
on the microbial assembly of a downstream community, an ecological genomics …
