Pyocin QDD1: A highly thermostable bacteriocin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa QDD1 for the biocontrol of foodborne pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)This study was designed to explore alternative antibacterial bioresource products, bacteriocins produced by local strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa QDD1. This bacteriocin (termed as Pyocin) has high inhibitory activity ... -
Pyocyanin pigment from Pseudomonas aeruginosa modulates innate immune defenses in macrophages
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a well-known opportunistic pathogen. The gram-negative bacillus, commonly associated with hospital-acquired infections, utilizes the host's impaired immune responses to establish ... -
A Pyramidal Security Model for Large-Scale Group-Oriented Computing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks: The Key Management Study
( IEEE , 2009 , Article)In mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), many applications require group-oriented computing among a large number of nodes in an adversarial environment. To deploy these large-scale cooperative applications, secure multicast ... -
Pyridoxine non-responsive p.R336C mutation alters the molecular properties of cystathionine beta-synthase leading to severe homocystinuria phenotype
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)The prevalence of homocystinuria in Qatar is 1:1800, mainly due to a founder missense mutation p.R336C. • The cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) R336C mutant was bacterially expressed, purified and its molecular properties ... -
Pyrite (FeS2)-supported ultrafiltration system for removal of mercury (II) from water
( Springer , 2021 , Article)This study investigated the Hg(II) removal efficiencies of the reactive adsorbent membrane (RAM) hybrid filtration process, a removal process that produces stable final residuals. The reaction mechanism between Hg(II) and ... -
