Anti-microbial Activity Of Graphene Oxide Against Bacteria And Fungi
( Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press) , 2014 , Conference Paper)Graphene Oxide (GO) is a promising material for various applications. The team prepared GO from graphite and studied the interaction with different microorganisms. Anti-microbial properties were detected for the prepared ... -
Application of MALDI-TOF MS for identification of environmental bacteria: A review
( Academic Press , 2022 , Article)Bacteria play a variety of roles in the environment. They maintain the balance in the ecosystem and provide different ecosystem services such as in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients, biodegradation of toxic pollutants, ... -
The date palm microbiome: A review
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is a significant crop grown in warm, tropical, and arid regions. The microorganisms associated with plants can have positive and negative effects on the growth and yield of crops. Thus, there ... -
Discrepancy in MALDI-TOF MS identification of uncommon Gram-negative bacteria from lower respiratory secretions in patients with cystic fibrosis
( Dovepress , 2015 , Article)Introduction: Early identification of microbial organisms from respiratory secretions of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is important to guide therapeutic decisions. The objective was to compare the accuracy of ... -
Effects of electron acceptors on removal of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli, resistance genes and class 1 integrons under anaerobic conditions
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)naerobic biotechnologies can effectively remove antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), but there is a need to better understand the mechanisms. Here we employ bioelectrochemical systems ... -
High voltage pulse generator based on DC-to-DC boost converter with capacitor-diode voltage multipliers for bacterial decontamination
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2015 , Conference Paper)High voltage pulse generators can be used effectively in water treatment applications, as applying a pulsed electric field on the infected sample guarantees killing of harmful germs and bacteria. In this paper, a new high ... -
Insights into the interaction between mineral formation and heavy metals immobilization, mediated by Virgibacillus exopolymeric substances
( Elsevier , 2024 , Article)Heavy metal pollution poses significant risks to both the environment and human health due to their toxicity, long residence times, and their ability to bioaccumulate and bio magnify across the food chain. To address this ... -
Multi-module high voltage pulse generator based on DC-DC boost converter and CDVMs for drinking water purification
( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)High pulsed electric field (PEF) can be used effectively in drinking water purification, by applying it across the water sample to be treated. Application of sufficient high PEF guarantees killing of harmful germs and ... -
Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Operational Parameters to Remove Ciprofloxacin from Contaminated Water in the Presence of a Bacterial Consortium
( American Chemical Society , 2022 , Article)Ciprofloxacin (CFX) is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is widely used to treat bacterial infections in humans and other animals. However, its unwanted occurrence in any (eco)system can affect nontarget ... -
The use of principle component analysis and MALDI-TOF MS for the differentiation of mineral forming: Virgibacillus and Bacillus species isolated from sabkhas
( Royal Society of Chemistry , 2020 , Article)Occurrence of mineral forming and other bacteria in mats is well demonstrated. However, their high diversity shown by ribotyping has not been explained, although it could explain the diversity of formed minerals. Common ... -
UNCONVENTIONAL ANIMAL MODELS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE RESEARCH
( Frontiers , 2021 , E-Book)Apart from genetics and physiology, our understanding of other important aspects of the biological life, such as host-pathogen interactions stayed at its infancy for many years. Back then, many infectious diseases lacked ...
