Since they are so non-selective, they can kill or control beneficial microbes as well as both targeted and non-targeted ...

Cytotoxicity/genotoxicity testing indicated no harm to normal cells and no mutagenicity, while higher concentrations produced selective growth inhibition in certain ...

In a new study, scientists from the universities of Portsmouth and Manchester report that a specially engineered enzyme can significantly speed up the breakdown of PET—the plastic used in water ...

This work compares the effectiveness of different biogrout agents to improve the mechanical properties (strength and stiffness) of two sandy soils. Based on the results of unconfined compressive ...

Abstract: Conductometry is a widely used technique in enzyme studies as it allows researchers to monitor the activity of enzymes in solution. The determination of enzymatic activity, a time-dependent ...

Scientists have shown that a notorious hospital fungus has learned to survive on human skin by feeding on carbon dioxide released at the surface. That metabolic edge helps it persist where infections ...

In biocementation, the overall degree of cementation achieved is constrained by the successful completion of four individual, potentially rate-limiting steps: (i) adsorption of the biocatalyst urease ...
