The exploration of spatial patterns of abundance and diversity patterns along precipitation
gradients has focused for centuries on plants and animals; microbial profiles along such …

Microbial communities in soils may change in accordance with distance, season, climate,
soil texture and other environmental parameters. Microbial diversity patterns have been …

Bacteriocins produced by Enterobacteriaceae are high molecular weight toxic proteins that
kill target cells through a variety of mechanisms, including pore formation and nucleic acid …

In the oceans and seas, environmental conditions change over multiple temporal and
spatial scales. Here, we ask what factors affect the bacterial community structure across time, …

Laboratory-scale reverse osmosis (RO) flat-sheet systems were used with two parallel flow
cells, one treated with cleaning agents and a control (ie undisturbed). The cleaning efforts …

Reverse-osmosis (RO) desalination is frequently used for the production of high-quality water
from tertiary treated wastewater (TTWW). However, the RO desalination process is often …

We investigated the influence of feed-water shear rate during reverse-osmosis (RO)
desalination on biofouling with respect to microbial community composition developed on the …

The effect of dietary omega-6 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) on host
microbiome and gut associated immune function in fish is unexplored. The effect of dietary …

Lakes and other freshwater bodies are intimately connected to the surrounding land, yet to
what extent land-use affects the quality of freshwater and the microbial communities living in …

Antiscalants are organic polymers widely used for scale inhibition in seawater desalination.
While they are susceptible to biodegradation, they provide nutrients for bacterial cell growth …
