The mutualistic symbiosis between stony corals and unicellular algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae forms the base of coral reef ecosystems. However, anthropogenic stressors, such as rising seawater temperatures, cause a breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis, so-called coral bleaching, which leads to mass mortalities…

Human hair is a keratin-based fiber with mechanical properties relevant to load-bearing biomaterials; however, its smooth cuticle limits fiber-fiber cohesion during textile-style processing. This study examines how controlled chemical decuticularization influences surface morphology and tensile behavior of intact human…

Optical imaging of gene expression by RNA-fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) in whole-mount sensory appendages of insects is often impeded by their highly pigmented cuticle. Since most chemical bleaching agents are incompatible with imaging fluorescent-labelled nucleotides, we developed a RNA interference-based…

Historically, chemicals such as alcohols, aldehydes, chlorinated compounds and hypochlorous acid have been used to eliminate or inactivate infectious agents. Since bibliometrics is a powerful tool for uncovering scientific literature, we decided to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature on the use of…

Coral gastrovascular cavities (GVCs) host diverse microorganisms and, as semi-closed compartments, are characterized by elevated nutrient concentrations and pronounced diel fluctuations in oxygen (O2) and pH. However, their broader chemical microenvironment and associated microbial activities remain poorly understood.…

This study presents a modified disinfection kinetics model to evaluate the potential effect of organic content on the chlorine inactivation coefficient of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in fresh produce wash processes. Results show a significant decrease in the bactericidal efficacy of free chlorine (FC) in the presence of…

Targeted cell ablation is an important strategy for dissecting the function of individual cells within biological tissues. Here we developed an amplified femtosecond laser-coupled two-photon microscopy (AFL-TPM) system that allows instantaneous and targeted ablation of individual cells and real-time monitoring of…

Textile dye industry waste is one among the foremost serious issues within the atmosphere. The dye wastes are severely harmful to surface water bodies. The dye degradation and decolorisation processes, that embody several physical and chemical strategies having inherent drawbacks, like cost accounting, economically…

The elimination of hazardous compounds in chemical wastes can be a complex and technically demanding task. In the search for environmental-friendly technologies, fungal mediated remediation and removal procedures are of concern. In this study, we investigated whether there are fungal species that can survive and grow…

When whitewater circuits in the paper industry are closed, organic compounds accumulate and cause adverse production problems, such as the formation of slime and pitch. Since wood-free whitewater is usually a mixture of additives for paper production and an efficient cost-effective purification technology for their…

The high production volume of azo dyes for manufacturing and treating various consumer products leads to deleterious environmental consequences. Bacterial agents present in the environment can degrade these dyes. We, hereby, report the isolation, decolourization and degradation of a mono (Methyl orange) and di-azoic…

Azo dyes, released by the textile industries causes severe damage to the environment and living organisms. The degradation of azo dyes is widely studied using enzymatic methods. Laccase, is a copper containing enzyme that degrades the azo dyes into less toxic compounds. In this work, Laccase enzyme produced by the…
