Understanding the lipid production mechanism in Euglena gracilis with a fast-response AIEgen bioprobe, DPAS
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DPAS is a highly effective biocompatible and photostable fluorophore for rapid and sensitive visualisation of lipid droplets and is more sensitive than BODIPY for semiquantitative in vivo fluorescence measurements.

Inhibition of anaerobic digestion process: A review
TL;DR: This review provides a detailed summary of the research conducted on the inhibition of anaerobic processes and indicates that co-digestion with other waste, adaptation of microorganisms to inhibitory substances, and incorporation of methods to remove or counteract toxicants before an aerobic digestion can significantly improve the waste treatment efficiency.
