When soils dry, water flow and nutrient diffusion cease as the hydraulic microenvironments vital for soil life become fragmented. To delay drying locally related adverse effects, bacteria plants modify their surroundings by releasing extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). As a result, physical properties of hotspots like biological crusts or rhizosphere differ from those surrounding bulk soi...

Two polymeric substances, a poly{N-[tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]acrylamide} (THMMA) substituted with adamantyl moieties and a beta-cyclodextrin/epichlorohydrin polycondensate, formed a host-guest type complex, which resulted in the gel formation upon mixing of these two compounds at appropriate conditions. Introduction of a drug molecule, i.e., naproxen, that was able to fill the beta-cyclodextri...

The highly selective and efficient capture of heterogeneous types of phosphopeptides is critical for comprehensive and in-depth phosphoproteome analysis, but it still remains a challenge since the lack of affinity material with large binding capacity and controllable specificity. Here, a new affinity material was prepared to improve the enrichment capacity and endue the tunable specificity by i...

objective: tissue engineering is an (interdisciplinary field that applies polymeric scaffolds to control tissue formation in three-dinemtion (3d). the scaffold provides the microenvironment (synthetic temporary extracellular matrix) for regenerative cells, supporting cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation, and neo tissue genesis due to their suitable chemical, physical and biological s...

Acinetobacter baumannii is a common cause of nosocomial infections. This bacterium able to survive in hostile environments (desiccation, antimicrobial therapies, nutrient unavailability) beside colonization biotic and abiotic surfaces form biofilm hospitals long-term care institutions. Biofilm three-dimensional structure multicellular complex which the cells are embedded an Extracellular Polyme...

Anaerobic digestion (AD) appears to be a popular unit operation in wastewater treatment plant treat waste activated sludge (WAS) and the produced methane gas can harvested as renewable energy. However, WAS could inhibit hydrolysis stage during AD hence pre-treatment is required overcome issue. This paper aimed study effect of electrochemical (EP) towards efficiency using titanium coated with ru...

Scarcity of water resource recommended developing innovative technology to reclaim wastewater. Greywater is an appropriate source reuse through advanced treatment. Meanwhile, MBRs are novel techniques wastewater, which composed activated sludge processes and membrane filtration. Characteristic application Hybrid MBR, MBMBR OMBR were reviewed in this article. And sources, analysis methods contro...

To evaluate and develop methodologies for the extraction of gel-forming extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), EPS from aerobic granular sludge (AGS) was extracted using six different methods (centrifugation, sonication, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), formamide with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), formaldehyde with NaOH and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) with heat and constant mixing). AGS was ...

Biopolymers are considered a potential alternative to conventional chemical polymers because of their ease of biodegradability, high efficiency, non-toxicity and non-secondary pollution. Recently, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS, biopolymers produced by the microorganisms) have been recognised by many researchers as a potential flocculent for their applications in various water, wastewa...
