Case-control design identifies ecological drivers of endemic coral diseases
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Endemic disease transmission is an important ecological process that is challenging to study because of low occurrence rates. Here, we investigate the ecological drivers of two coral diseases growth anomalies and tissue ... -
Different molecular pathways are disrupted in Pyoderma gangrenosum patients and are associated with the severity of the disease.
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare inflammatory skin disease classified within the spectrum of neutrophilic dermatoses. The pathophysiology of PG is yet incompletely understood but a prominent role of genetics facilitating ... -
Emergent community architecture despite distinct diversity in the global whale shark (Rhincodon typus) epidermal microbiome
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Microbiomes confer beneficial physiological traits to their host, but microbial diversity is inherently variable, challenging the relationship between microbes and their contribution to host health. Here, we compare the ... -
Energy depletion and opportunistic microbial colonisation in white syndrome lesions from corals across the Indo-Pacific
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Corals are dependent upon lipids as energy reserves to mount a metabolic response to biotic and abiotic challenges. This study profiled lipids, fatty acids, and microbial communities of healthy and white syndrome (WS) ... -
Environmental impact of utilization of “produced water” from oil and gas operations in turfgrass systems
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)© 2020, The Author(s). This study attempted to use produced water (PW) to irrigate turfgrass species, Cynodon dactylon and Paspalum sp. Assessment on established grasses, heavy metal accumulation and germination tests for ... -
Experimental measurements and modelling of viscosity and density of calcium and potassium chlorides ternary solutions
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Measured viscosity and density data for ternary aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and KCl are presented at temperatures between 293 and 323�K with 5�K increment. A modified Jones?Dole was introduced by adding extra terms and ... -
Genetic diversity of Prosopis juliflora in the state of Qatar and its valuable use against postharvest pathogen of mango fruits
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)Mango (Mangifera indica) is the second most internationally traded tropical fruit in the world. The fruit has high nutritional value. Its susceptibility to postharvest diseases and chill injuries increases its storage cost ... -
Holistic health record for Hidradenitis suppurativa patients.
( Nature Research , 2022 , Article)Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a recurrent inflammatory skin disease with a complex etiopathogenesis whose treatment poses a challenge in the clinical practice. Here, we present a novel integrated pipeline produced by ... -
Influence of temperature, salinity and Mg:Ca ratio on microbially-mediated formation of Mg-rich carbonates by Virgibacillus strains isolated from a sabkha environment.
( Nature Research , 2019 , Article)Studies have demonstrated that microbes facilitate the incorporation of Mg into carbonate minerals, leading to the formation of potential dolomite precursors. Most microbes that are capable of mediating Mg-rich carbonates ... -
Isolation and evaluation of Qatari soil rhizobacteria for antagonistic potential against phytopathogens and growth promotion in tomato plants
( Nature Research , 2023 , Article)Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria are a diverse group of microorganisms that enhance the growth of plants under various conditions. In this study, 55 isolates of endogenous rhizobacteria were collected from the rhizosphere ... -
Lead (Pb) bioaccumulation and antioxidative responses in Tetraena qataranse
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)Lead (Pb) is the second most toxic metal on Earth and is toxic to humans and other living things. In plants, Pb commonly inhibits growth when it is at a concentration in the soil of 30�mg/kg or more but several Pb tolerant ... -
Mechanistic understanding of the adsorption and thermodynamic aspects of cationic methylene blue dye onto cellulosic olive stones biomass from wastewater
( Nature Research , 2020 , Article)In the current study, the mechanistic understanding of the adsorption isotherm and thermodynamic aspects of cationic methylene blue (MB) dye adsorption onto cellulosic olive stones biomass from wastewater were investigated. ... -
Novel composite materials of modified roasted date pits using ferrocyanides for the recovery of lithium ions from seawater reverse osmosis brine
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)In this paper, novel composite materials from modified roasted date pits using ferrocyanides were developed and investigated for the recovery of lithium ions (Li+) from seawater reverse osmosis (RO) brine. Two composite ... -
Novel Prosopis juliflora leaf ethanolic extract as natural antimicrobial agent against food spoiling microorganisms
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Fresh produces spoilage is a worldwide concern that accompany the global increase in food demand. Adverse human health and environmental effects of commercial spoilage control agents are major public concern. In this study, ... -
Patterns of livestock depredation and Human–wildlife conflict in Misgar valley of Hunza, Pakistan
( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)Throughout the world, livestock predation by mammalian carnivores causes significant economic losses to poor farmers, and leads to human–wildlife conflicts. These conflicts result in a negative attitude towards carnivore ...
