Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular approaches to nontoxic antifouling

TL;DR: The nature of the fouling problem and a new technology that is emerging to address it are discussed and a melding of the technologies of foul-release and foul-deterrence may be required to develop broad spectrum, nontoxic antifouling coatings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function

TL;DR: More work is required to realize robust, quantitative relationships between microbial community structure and functions such as methane production rate and resilience after perturbations and to describe microbial communities in digester function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a new thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii, gen. nov. and sp. nov.: its phylogenetic relationship to Thermodesulfobacterium commune and their origins deep within the bacterial domain.

TL;DR: The divergence in the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences between the new isolate and Thermodesulfobacterium commune suggests that these two thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria represent different genera, and these two bacteria depict a lineage that branches deeply within the Bacteria domain and which is clearly distinct from previously defined phylogenetic lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioaugmentation for improved recovery of anaerobic digesters after toxicant exposure.

TL;DR: In conclusion, bioaugmentation with an H(2)-utilizing culture is a potential tool to decrease the recovery period, decrease propionate concentration, and increase biogas production of some anaerobic digesters after a toxic event.
Journal ArticleDOI

An in vitro comparison of new irrigation and agitation techniques to ultrasonic agitation in removing bacteria from a simulated root canal.

TL;DR: In a plastic simulated canal, ultrasonic agitation was significantly more effective than needle irrigation and EndoVac irrigation at removing intracanal bacteria.
