Assessment of anaerobic wastewater treatment failure using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2005-12-01)Aims: The suitability of genetic fingerprinting to study the microbiological basis of anaerobic bioreactor failure is investigated. Methods and Results: Two laboratory-scale anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors, ... -
Biological characterization ofcampylobacter fetuslipopolysaccharides
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 1996-08-01)Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of three strains of Campylobacter fetus (subspp. fetus and venerealis, and serotypes A and B), a bacterium of veterinary importance but also a cause of various infections in humans, were assessed ... -
Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-05-01)Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials. However, it is rarely determined whether laboratory-scale ... -
Identification of putative adhesins and carbohydrate ligands of Lactobacillus paracasei using a combinatorial in silico and glycomics microarray profiling approach
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-11-11)Commensal bacteria must colonize host mucosal surfaces to exert health-promoting properties, and bind to gastrointestinal tract (GIT) mucins via their cell surface adhesins. Considerable effort has been directed towards ... -
Stable-isotope probing and metagenomics reveal predation by protozoa drives e. coli removal in slow sand filters
(Springer Nature, 2014-10-03)Stable-isotope probing and metagenomics were applied to study samples taken from laboratory-scale slow sand filters 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h after challenging with C-13-labelled Escherichia coli to determine the mechanisms and ... -
Synthesis of a-o- and a-s-glycosphingolipids related to sphingomonous cell wall antigens using anomerisation
(MDPI AG, 2013-09-12)Analogues of glycolipids from Spingomonadacaece with O- and S- and SO2-linkages have been prepared using chelation induced anomerisation promoted by TiCl4. Included are examples of the anomerisation of intermediates with ...
