PORE-SCALE MONITORING OF THE EFFECT OF MICROARCHITECTURE ON FUNGAL GROWTH IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOIL-LIKE MICROMODEL

Pore-Scale Monitoring of the Effect of Microarchitecture on Fungal Growth in a Two-Dimensional Soil-Like Micromodel

In spite of the very significant role that fungi are called to play in agricultural production and climate change over the next two decades, very little is known at this point about the parameters that control the spread of fungal hyphae in the pore space of soils.Monitoring of this process in 3 dimensions is not technically feasible at the moment.

Adaptation of Arginine Synthesis among Uropathogenic Branches of the Escherichia coli Phylogeny Reveals Adjustment to the Urinary Tract Habitat

ABSTRACT Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are predominantly caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).UPEC pathogenesis requires passage through a severe population bottleneck involving intracellular bacterial communities (IBCs) that are clonal expansions of a single invading UPEC bacterium in a urothelial superficial facet cell.IBCs occur onl

Mangiferin reduces high-starch diet-induced lipid accumulation and liver damage by modulating triglyceride metabolism in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides)

High-starch diets may lead to growth retardation, liver damage and lipid accumulation in fish.Although mangiferin (MGF) can regulate triglyceride metabolism and protect liver health in mammals, studies on its role in fish are limited.The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) were fed four different groups of diets, including a control diet (NCD),
