MICROBIOLOGICALLY INFLUENCED CORROSION OF CARBON STEEL IN SULFIDOGENIC ENVIRONMENTS: THE LINK TO THIOSULFATE REDUCTION AND BIOLOGICAL STABILITY OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS
(2015-12)
Biocorrosion or microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) refers to the mutiple underlying mechanisms wherein microbial activity directly or indirectly enhances the corrosion of metallic and non-metallic materials. ...
STUDYING THE GASTROINTESTINAL MICROBIOME OF A TRADITIONAL PERUVIAN COMMUNITY
(2018-08-24)
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is an ecosystem that is home to a plethora of bacteria, archaea, microeukaryotes, and viruses, collectively termed the “gut microbiota” or “microbiome” when referring to the genetic ...
Analysis of the functional conservation of genes in a plant single cell type: the root hair cell
(2017-12)
The evolution of plant species is tightly associated with major changes in their genome such as their allopolyploidy and autopolyploidy. These paleopolyploid events and recent genome duplications have contributed to the ...
The influence of nitrate on the short-term corrosion of steel catalyzed by marine microorganisms
(2019-12)
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is of global concern and a threat due to its economic, environmental as well as public health implications. Identifying the factors that govern or influence MIC is beneficial ...
The Role of NF-Y Transcription Factors in Plant Development
(2012)
Due to their sessile nature, plants must coordinate their growth and development based on the surrounding environmental conditions. This coordination is regulated by alterations in gene expression, leading to appropriate ...
BIOPHYSICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE THREE-WAY JUNCTION IN PHI29-LIKE BACTERIOPHAGE PROHEAD RNA
(2017-08-18)
The knowledge gained from biophysical studies of RNA can contribute to basic research and inform new directions for translational research. In particular, information that develops the relationships among RNA energetics, ...
GENETIC AND GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF BAHD ACYLTRANSFERASES THAT DECORATE CELL WALL COMPONENTS WITH PHENOLIC ESTERS AND ALTER PLANT BIOMASS RECALCITRANCE
(2018)
Next generation biofuels make use of the energy stored in plant cell walls, so called lignocellulosic biomass. However, the natural resistance of plant cell walls against deconstruction, i.e., “cell wall recalcitrance”, ...
UNDERSTANDING ECOSYSTEM CARBON DYNAMICS BY MODELING APPROACHES
(2011)
Ecosystem models are a useful tool to explore ecological processes and their responses to climate change. The basic structures of current ecosystem C cycle models are similar and robust, but their uncertainties are high, ...
