Abstract:
Swimming bacteria explore their environment by performing a random walk, which is biased in response to, for example, chemical stimuli, resulting in a collective drift of bacterial populations towards ‘a better life’. This phenomenon, called chemotaxis, is one of the best known forms of collective behaviour in bacteria, crucial for bacterial survival and virulence. Both single-cell and macroscopic assays have investigated bacterial behaviours. However, theories that relate the two scales have previously been difficult to test directly. We present an image analysis method, inspired by light sca

Abstract:
Dynamic behaviour of microbial film and BOD removal characteristics in an aerobic submerged biofilter packed with ceramic balls were investigated. The effects of BOD loading and temperature on the populations of bacteria and protozoa inhabiting microbial film were investigated. It was ascertained that the BOD removal rate by the microbial film was controlled by the bacterial population, while the microbial concentration in the biofilter was due to the growth of protozoa when the temperature and the BOD loading were low.

Abstract:
Stainless steel is an important material used in many applications due to its mechanical strength and corrosion-resistant properties. The high corrosion resistance of stainless steel is provided by the passive film. Different stainless steels have different alloy elements and surface properties which could have a significant influence on bacterial attachment to the surface and thus might result in different microbial corrosion behaviours. In this study, the effect of adhesion of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) on corrosion behaviour in artificial seawater on different stainless steels was inve

Abstract:
We have investigated the dynamics of a monotrichous bacteria cell near a wall boundary, taking elastic hook flexibility into consideration. Combining theoretical linear stability analysis and direct numerical computations via the boundary element method, we have found that the elastohydrodynamic coupling between the hook elasticity and cell rotational motion enables a stable vertical spinning behaviour like a low-Reynolds-number spinning top. The forwardly rotated flagellum, which generates the force exertion pushing towards the cell body, typically destabilizes the vertical upright position a

Abstract Staphylococcus aureus infections are a growing concern worldwide due to the increasing number of strains that exhibit antibiotic resistance.

However, individuals carrying the infection can be classified as only intermittent carriers versus persistent carriers, being able to eliminate the bacteria and later colonized again.

In nature, biofilms are the most common form of bacterial growth. In biofilms, bacteria display coordinated behaviour to perform specific functions. Here, we investigated electrical signalling as a possible driver in biofilm sociobiology. Using a multi-electrode array system that enables high spatio-temporal resolution, we studied the electrical activity in two biofilm-forming strains and one non-biofilm-forming strain. The action potential rates monitored during biofilm-forming bacterial growth exhibited a one-peak maximum with a long tail, corresponding to the highest biofilm development. Th

Bacterial pathogens cause disease in man and animals. They have unique biological properties, which enable them to colonize mucous surfaces, penetrate them, grow in the environment of the host, inhibit or avoid host defences and damage the host. The bacterial products responsible for these five biological requirements are the determinants of pathogenicity (virulence determinants). Current knowledge comes from studies in vitro , but now interest is increasing in how bacteria behave and produce virulence determinants within the infected host.

Chemotaxis allows flagellated bacteria to navigate in complex chemical environments, following nutrients and escaping toxins. The sensory system made up of chemoreceptors is constantly monitoring the extracellular concentrations of nutrients and toxins, while the signalling pathway processes and transmits the external information to the flagellated motors for movement. In the case of Escherichia coli, the chemotaxis pathway has been extensively characterised experimentally using genetics, biochemistry, and a wide range of imaging tools.

Using a combination of microscopy and image analysis, genetics, microbiology and biochemistry, the initial approach of Rhodobacter sphaeroides cells to a solid surface has been characterised. Interestingly, these data suggest that for R. sphaeroides alterations in motility and swimming behaviour may result in differences in biofilm formation simply by changing the number of cells which reach the surface.

Abstract:
Abstract It has been shown that the main protagonists of Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC) in waters injected for the secondary recovery of crude oil and in general for any MIC process, are Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB), found in their sessile stage adhering to the metal surfaces. This study consisted of evaluating sessile bacterial growth behavior of a pure strain of SRB identified as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subspecies desulfuricans, on a pure iron sheet during different exposure periods: 3, 6, 9, 15, 18, 21 and 24 hours; and its correlation with open-circuit potential, hydrogen

Abstract:
Abstract Two aspects of ozone utilization as sole chemical treatment for cooling water demand a better understanding: a) the effect of dissolved ozone on the corrosion behavior of heat exchanger structural materials and b) the biocidal action of ozone on bacterial biofilms. To assess the effect of ozone dissolved in synthetic cooling water on the corrosion behavior of different structural materials (stainless steel; 70:30 copper-nickel; aluminum brass and titanium), voltamperometric experiments and corrosion potential vs. time measurements were made at ozone concentrations between 0.1 and 1.2

Abstract:
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased the use of single-use medical fabrics such as surgical masks, respirators, and other personal protective equipment (PPE), which have faced worldwide supply chain shortages. Reusable PPE is desirable in light of such shortages; however, the use of reusable PPE is largely restricted by the difficulty of rapid sterilization. In this work, we demonstrate successful bacterial and viral inactivation through remote and rapid radio frequency (RF) heating of conductive textiles. The RF heating behavior of conductive polymer-coated fabrics was measured for sev

Abstract:
This project was based on the hypothesis that nematodes interacting with plants as either parasites or beneficial saprophytes are attracted to their host by natural products. This concept was supported by numerous observations that parasitic nematodes are attracted to root exudates. Our overall goal was to identify nematode sensory compounds from root exudates and to use that information for reducing nematicide applications. We applied skills of the investigators to achieve three specific objectives: 1) Identify nematode behavioral cues (e.g., attractants or repellents) in root exudates; 2) Id

Abstract:
The overall goal of this project was to elucidate the role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil retention, bioavailability and plant uptake of silver and cerium oxide NPs. The environmental risks of manufactured nanoparticles (NPs) are attracting increasing attention from both industrial and scientific communities. These NPs have shown to be taken-up, translocated and bio- accumulated in plant edible parts. However, very little is known about the behavior of NPs in soil-plant system as affected by dissolved organic matter (DOM). Thus DOM effect on NPs behavior is critical to assessing the

Abstract:
Soil-side corrosion control is a major challenge for Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) operators. Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs) are increasingly being used as an additional corrosion control mitigation tool. A PRCI-sponsored Phase 1 study established baseline performance and evaluated monitoring methods for the VCIs. One focus of this study included VCIs' performance comparison with effective cathodic protection (CP) systems. The investigation concluded that VCIs' corrosion mitigation performance is equivalent to that of an effective CP system. This study also evaluated tank bottom corrosion

Towards this end we reviewed critically the relevant scientific literature and performed theoretical and experimental studies of bacterial growth and activity in modeled, idealized and real unsaturated soils. The natural wetting-drying cycles common to agricultural soils affect water content and liquid organization resulting in fragmentation of aquatic habitats and limit hydraulic connections. Consequently, substrate diffusion pathways to soil
