Journal ArticleDOI
Phytostabilization of mine tailings in arid and semiarid environments--an emerging remediation technology.
Monica O. Mendez,Raina M. Maier +1 more
TL;DR: Phytostabilization of mine tailing is a promising remedial technology but requires further research to identify factors affecting its long-term success by expanding knowledge of suitable plant species and mine tailings chemistry in ongoing field trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innate Immunity and Asthma Risk in Amish and Hutterite Farm Children
Michelle M. Stein,Cara L. Hrusch,Justyna Gozdz,Justyna Gozdz,Catherine Igartua,Vadim Pivniouk,Sean E. Murray,Julie G. Ledford,Mauricius Marques dos Santos,Rebecca Anderson,Nervana Metwali,Julia W. Neilson,Raina M. Maier,Jack A. Gilbert,Mark Holbreich,Peter S. Thorne,Fernando D. Martinez,Erika von Mutius,Donata Vercelli,Carole Ober,Anne I. Sperling +20 more
TL;DR: The results of these studies in humans and mice indicate that the Amish environment provides protection against asthma by engaging and shaping the innate immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pseudomonas aeruginosa rhamnolipids: biosynthesis and potential applications
TL;DR: Rhamnolipid production is dependent on central metabolic pathways, such as fatty acid synthesis and dTDP-activated sugars, as well as on enzymes participating in the production of the exopolysaccharide alginate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhamnolipid-Induced Removal of Lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Effect on Cell Surface Properties and Interaction with Hydrophobic Substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, two Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were grown on glucose and hexadecane to investigate the chemical and structural changes that occur in the presence of a rhamnolipid biosurfactant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoremediation of mine tailings in temperate and arid environments
Monica O. Mendez,Raina M. Maier +1 more
TL;DR: There are two approaches to phytoremediation of mine tailings, phytoextraction and phytostabilization as discussed by the authors, both of which focus on establishing a vegetative cap that does not shoot accumulate metals but rather immobilizes metals within the tailings.
