Homogeneous vs. heterogeneous photo-Fenton elimination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria bearing intracellular or extracellular resistance: Do resistance mechanisms interfere with disinfection pathways?

César Pulgarin, Stefanos Giannakis, Truong-Thien Melvin Le, Jérémie Decker

The present study aimed to fill the knowledge gap between the implications of intracellular and extracellular antibiotic resistance mechanisms may inflict on the inactivation pathways of the photo-Fenton process under mild conditions. It was thus designed ...

Infectious disease spread in connected communities

Cristiano Trevisin

Ecohydrology and epidemiology share a deep bond in infectious disease modelling. The former focuses on the interaction among species and their water-controlled environment (i.e., the study of water controls on the biota). The latter revolves around specif ...

Host-Pathogen Interactions Through the Genomic Lens

Zhi Ming Xu

Hosts and pathogens are involved in a long-standing evolutionary arms race characterized by successive rounds of evolution. Specifically, while hosts evolve resistance against infections, pathogens adapt to re-establish virulence. Since the signatures of t ...

Difference in astringency of the main pea protein fractions

Francesco Stellacci, Hanna Fanny Clarisse Lesme

Interactions between food and saliva govern complex mouthfeel perceptions such as astringency. Herein, we present a study of the interactions of salivary proteins with the main pea protein fractions that are obtained by isoelectric and salt precipitation ( ...

Anaerobic arsenic methylation as a microbial warfare strategy

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Karin Lederballe Meibom, Nicolas Louis Maurice Jacquemin, Hugo Sallet, Jiangtao Qiao

Microbial arsenic methylation is established as a detoxification process under aerobic conditions (converting arsenite to monomethylated arsenate) but proposed to be a microbial warfare strategy under anoxic conditions due to the toxicity of its main produ ...

RNA Sequencing of Arabidopsis thaliana Seedlings after Non-Thermal Plasma-Seed Treatment Reveals Upregulation in Plant Stress and Defense Pathways

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Alexandra Waskow

Not all agricultural practices are sustainable; however, non-thermal plasma treatment of seeds may be an eco-friendly alternative to improve macroscopic plant growth parameters. Despite the numerous successful results of plasma-seed treatments reported in ...

Phenotypic plasticity versus ecotypic differentiation under recurrent summer drought in two drought-tolerant pine species

Christoph Bachofen

Despite worldwide reports of high tree mortality, growing evidence indicates that many tree species are well adapted to survive repeated dry spells. The drought resilience of trees is related to their phenotypic plasticity and ecotypic differentiation. Whe ...

Novel insights into the design of stretchable electrical systems

Fabien Sorin, Pierre-Luc Eloi Piveteau, Louis Marie Philippe Martin-Monier

Soft electronics have recently gathered considerable interest because of their biomechanical compatibility. An important feature of deformable conductors is their electrical response to strain. While development of stretchable materials with high gauge fac ...

Human commensal gut Proteobacteria withstand type VI secretion attacks through immunity protein-independent mechanisms

Melanie Blokesch, Sandrine Stutzmann, Candice Stoudmann, Nicolas Olmo Flaugnatti, Leonardo Filipe Lemos Rocha, Nina Vesel, Sandrine Natacha Isaac, Thibault Géry L Sana

While the major virulence factors for Vibrio cholerae, the cause of the devastating diarrheal disease cholera, have been extensively studied, the initial intestinal colonization of the bacterium is not well understood because non-human adult animals are re ...

Seasonal and spatial variability of antibiotic resistance genes and Class I integrons in the rivers of the Mekong delta, Vietnam

Pierre Rossi, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Emmanuelle Rohrbach

Aquaculture activities are steadily expanding in Vietnam, covering an estimated 700,000 ha, with 89% of these culture ponds located in the Mekong Delta. Since 2009, large-scale bacterial epidemics have spread in response to this intensive cultivation. Anti ...
