Acetic acid can be directly produced from glucose in one-step fermentation by using yeasts of the genus Brettanomyces bruxellensis , hence increasing the industrial application to manufacture products with simplified bioprocesses. Thereby, this work evaluates…

As determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the reduction of selenate and selenite by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans , a sulfate-reducing bacterium, produces spherical (Se, S) sub-micro particles outside the cell. The particles are crystalline or am…

Biofilms are recognised as an important contributor to bacterial resistance towards traditional antimicrobial treatments. Assessment of biofilm formation currently relies on a 96 well microtitre plate assay, which usually involves the colourimetric detection…
