Abstract: Antibiotic screens typically rely on growth inhibition to characterize compound bioactivity—an approach that cannot be used to assess the bactericidal activity of antibiotics against bacteria in drug-tolerant states. To address this limitation, we developed a… read more here.

Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) is considered a toxic heavy metal, nevertheless, its toxicity fluctuates for different organisms. Cadmium-tolerant bacteria (CdtB) are a diverse and non-phylogenetically related. Because of their ecological importance these bacteria become particularly relevant when… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191811590
Abstract: The high salt-alkalinity of bauxite residue (BR) hinders plant growth and revegetation of bauxite residue disposal areas (BRDA), which cause serious potential environmental and ecological risks. Bioneutralization is a promising method for improving the properties… read more here.
