Fluoxetine (FLX), an antidepressant extensively used worldwide is considered emerging pollutant. The present work intends to investigate for the first time capacity of a bacterial community containing sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) enriched from anaerobic sludge biodegrade and use FLX as sole carbon source, since current literature suggests that this drug poorly biodegraded being mainly remov...

The aim of this study is to compare the acute effects different creatine loading methods on anaerobic performance in soccer players. Totally 21 healthy male players participated study. was conducted a randomized and double-blind design. Athletes were loaded with 3 days. supplementation as follows; athletes took supplement 4 times day for 15 days, 4x5 grams first 5 days g following 10 In other c...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation on exercise performance and contractile variables in aerobic-anaerobic training rats. Twenty 90-day-old male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into two groups - creatine (Cr) and controls (K). The creatine group received creatine monohydrate as a nutritional supplement, whereas the control group was ...

BACKGROUND Bacteriophage-prokaryote dynamics and interaction are believed to be important in governing microbiome composition and ecosystem functions, yet our limited knowledge of the spatial and temporal variation in phage and prokaryotic community compositions precludes accurate assessment of their roles and impacts. Anaerobic digesters are ideal model systems to examine phage-host interactio...

Nasal and oral exclusive breathing modes have benefits and drawbacks during submaximal exercise. It is unknown whether these responses would extend to anaerobic work performed at high intensity. Nine individuals (males N = 7, females N = 2) performed a standard Wingate Anaerobic cycle test on a cycle ergometer under nose (N) and mouth (M) only respiratory conditions, performed in a counterbalan...

The wastewater discharged by poultry slaughterhouse industries are characterized mainly by high biochemical oxygen demand, high suspended solids and complex mixture of fats, proteins and fibers requiring systematic treatment prior to disposal. In this study, the performance of an upflow anaerobic filter reactor for treating Indian poultry slaughterhouse wastewater under low upflow velocity of 1...
