BACKGROUND The results showed that the deciding factor is the culture medium in which the bacteria and the graphene oxide (GO) are incubated at the initial manipulation step. These findings allow better use of GO and GO-based materials more and be able to clearly apply them in the field of biomedical nanotechnology. RESULTS To study the use of GO sheets applied in the field of biomedical nano...

In the food industry, microbial adhesion to equipment surfaces and subsequent development of biofilm are very serious issues because of potential to cause cross-contamination, which leads to lowered shelf-life, food spoilage, and transmission of disease [1-4]. Adhesion and subsequent growth on surfaces is a common strategy of bacteria for survival in both natural habitats and man-made environme...

Let $G$ be a finitely generated abelian group and $M$ be a $G$-graded $A$-module. In general, $G$-associated prime ideals to $M$ may not exist. In this paper, we introduce the concept of $G$-attached prime ideals to $M$ as a generalization of $G$-associated prime ideals which gives a connection between certain $G$-prime ideals and $G$-graded modules over a (not necessarily $G$-graded Noetherian...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Building on previous conceptual and empirical work, the purpose of this investigation was to examine place attachment’s effect on several variables purportedly related to the construct. The place attachment construct has been used by recreation researchers and managers to explain a variety of leisure behaviors (e.g., recreationists’ setting preferences, management preferences...

be the semisimple Galois representation associated to f by Deligne and Serre; here S is any finite set of primes containing all primes dividing N and GQ,S∪{l} is the Galois group of the maximal extension of Q unramified outside S ∪{l}. The representation ρ̄f,λ is absolutely irreducible for almost all λ; for such λ let R S f,λ denote the universal deformation ring parameterizing lifts of ρ̄f,λ (up...

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a major constraint on agricultural production. They significantly impede crop yield. To complete their parasitism, they need to locate, disguise, and interact with plant signals exuded in the rhizosphere of host plant. A specific subset soil microbiome can attach surface manner. We hypothesized that plants recruit species microbes as helpers against attacking nemat...

Anaerobic digestion is a process that can produce renewable energy through the fermentation of biodegradable biomass. Industrial anaerobic tanks are usually made concrete but production various aggressive compounds (CO2, NH4+ and volatile fatty acids) during microbial leads to deterioration structure. In addition, formation biofilm on cementitious material surface could generate even more inten...
