Peptidoglycan (PGN), a protective wall surrounding bacterial cells, protects bacteria from a variety of environmental factors. This glycan polymer, interconnected by pentapeptide chains, is composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetyl muramic acid (NAM) joined through a beta...
aIts antibacterial mechanism is that it hydrolyses the β-(1,4)-glycosidic bond in the alternating N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) of the peptidoglycan, causing rupture of Gram positive bacteria cell walls under the effect of osmotic pressure,and the occurrence of bacte...
This study quantified Cd, Pb, and Cu content, and the soil–plant transfer factors of these elements in rice paddies within Cam Pha, Quang Ninh province, northeastern Vietnam. The rice paddies are located at a distance of 2 km from the large Coc Sau open-pit coal mine. Electron micropro...
In order to detect targets based on electrical, thermal and other signals, biosensors often use biochemical reactions aided by biological receptors, including bacteria, enzymes and antibodies. In order to identify pollutants in wastewater such as organics, inorganics, hazardous pollutants, microbes, and...
