Practical applications of disinfection technologies for engineered waters require an in‒
depth understanding of disinfection profiles and mechanisms of pathogenic bacteria in a …

Exopolymeric substances (EPS) have an important role in bioaccumulation and toxicity of
nanoparticles (NPs) to algae, which warrants specific studies. The interaction of EPS with …

The ability to manipulate the structure of food and increase the shelf life by enhanced
stability using natural (eg, biological) agents instead of synthetic surfactants is of interest to …

Background Some bacteria enter the viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state to survive harsh
environmental conditions and external stresses. This alters cell physiology and has …

The potential of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to act as a plant-growth promoter or as a
bioremediator of toxic compounds can be affected by desiccation. In the present work, the …

ABSTRACTWe evaluated a method for the assessment of bacterial viability that is based on
ultraviolet and visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy analysis. The quantities of intracellular …

Sewage sludges from wastewater treatment plants may contain live parasite eggs, which
can be a source of humans and animals infection. According to the current rules …

In this study, a rapid and sensitive method that combines ethidium bromide monoazide
(EMA) staining with real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (Rti-LAMP) assay was …

UV radiation is a spread method used worldwide for the disinfection of water. However,
much of the research on the disinfection of bacterial cells by UV has focused on planktonic …

Polychlorinated aromatic compounds, including pentachlorobenzenes and
hexachlorobenzenes, are recalcitrant industrial pollutants that cause adverse effects on …
