Nitrifying niche differentiation in biofilms from full-scale chloraminated drinking water distribution system by Cruz, Mercedes Cecilia, Woo, Yissue, Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…In cluster HD, with more biomass, chemical reactions involving nitrite increased the MCA demand, releasing ammonia and allowing more nitrifiers to grow, like AOA and NOB. From this study, we conclude that an MCA residual gradient along the DWDS drives and shapes the microbial community assembly and should be considered when designing effective disinfection strategies.…”

In-situ monitoring of oil emulsion fouling in ultrafiltration via electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS): influence of surfactant by Tian, Ju, Trinh, Thien An, Kalyan, Muppalla Naga, Ho, Jia Shin, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Therefore, this study provided clear evidence that the surfactant oppositely charged to the membrane (i.e., CTAB) adsorbed extensively initially to give negligible flux decline, which was not the case for the surfactants that were similarly negatively charged like the membrane. This only lasted for 0.5 h beyond which fouling became pronounced per dictated by DLVO interaction energy.…”

Development of immunomodulatory RNA therapeutics for immune disorders by Iyer, Vaishnavi Srinivasan

“…As ASOs have the potential to target any gene, thus greatly expanding the universe of potential drug targets, it represents a viable therapeutic approach to modulate aberrant pathways in diseases like RA. In paper I, we present a present a novel way of using CRISPR-mediated gene knock out to validate the role of target genes in particular cellular pathways of interest. …”
