Enhanced Biocide Treatments with D-amino Acid Mixtures against a Biofilm Consortium from a Water Cooling Tower

Different species of microbes form mixed-culture biofilms in cooling water systems.They cause microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and biofouling, leading to increased operational and maintenance costs.In this work, two D-amino acid mixtures were found to enhance two non-oxidizing biocides [tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate (THPS)

An Extracellular Redox Signal Triggers Calcium Release and Impacts the Asexual Development of Toxoplasma gondii

The ability of an organism to sense and respond to environmental redox fluctuations relies on a signaling network that is incompletely understood in apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii.The impact of changes in redox upon the development of this intracellular parasite is not Ceramic Backing known.Here, we provide a revised collection of
