Cell-mediated living fabrication has great promise for generating materials with versatile, programmable functions. Here, we demonstrate the engineering of living materials consisting of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (sIPN). The fabrication proc
Diplomonads are a group of anaerobic, commonly endobiotic, flagellates that belong to the group Metamonada.Giardia intestinalisandSpironucleus salmonicidaare the most widely known diplomonads, as they are the causative agents of diarrheal disease in humans and other mammals and systemic infections in ...
subtilis is not only beneficial for human health as probiotics67,68,69, but also aids the growth of plants as biocontrol agents70. These advantages suggest the feasibility of fabrication and application of industrial BC TPUs utilizing the presented strategy. The incorporation of heat-shock tolerized...
bioactive component. Microorganisms can provide complex responses to environmental stimuli, and they can be genetically engineered to allow user control over responses and integration of numerous inputs. The engineered microorganisms can either generate their own matrix, such as in biofilms, or they can...
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of fungal inoculants, the present invention provides improved inoculating agents and methods of using such agents. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides business methods, processes and compositions for packaging...
This is based on the hypothesis that bioaerosols emitted from PCSs may be a source of such pathogens, including A. fumigatus. Methods Study design and population We used a semi-individual cross-sectional study design to investigate the impact of living near a PCS on lung function, PEx, and...
lytic agents, enzymes, bacteriocins, and “defective prophages” [37]. LAB are known to be producers of metabolic products exerting antimicrobial activity: organic acids, especially lactic acid (giving the name as LAB to this vast group of bacteria), hydrogen peroxide, and diacetyl. The LABS. ...
The continuous evolution in various aspects ofLThas led to a marked improvement in outcomes after PLDLT [18,19]. The development of increasingly potentimmunosuppressive agentsallowed a reduction in the incidence of rejection but, in turn, has increased the risk of infection. The rates may vary ...
to mineral substrates on the other. Because they also possess a broad spectrum of weathering capabilities ranging from local acidification to biomechanical forcing at the submicron scale86,87,88, as outlined in the following sections, they are potentially efficient and versatile weathering agents, ...
solution in water per pot. A unique control treatment with water, the solvent used to dissolve the extracts, was used. For each of the four treatments studied (i.e., each of the three fungal extracts and a sterile distilled water-control), 15 replications were performed. The treated ...
