Suppression of Enteric Bacteria by Bacteriophages: Importance of Phage Polyvalence in the Presence of Soil Bacteria
TL;DR: It is shown that polyvalent phages can propagate in soil bacteria and significantly enhance suppression of co-occurring enteric species in environments harboring enteric pathogens and soil bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
A direct comparison between fatty acid analysis and intact phospholipid profiling for microbial identification
TL;DR: Factor analysis of the data showed that IPP is superior to the PLFA technique in microbial differentiation and identification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial fuel cells under extreme salinity: performance and microbial analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that extreme halophilic microbes can produce electricity at salinity up to 3- to 7-fold higher than sea water, which represents a great opportunity to mitigate environmental effects and recover resources associated with wastes from shale oil and gas production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid Analysis of 1,4-Dioxane in Groundwater by Frozen Micro-Extraction with Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry
TL;DR: In this paper, an innovative micro-extraction of aqueous samples coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in selected ion-monitoring mode (GC/MS-SIM) was developed to selectively analyze for 1,4-dioxane with low part-per-billion detection sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
