The number of organisms that spread and invade new habitats has increased in recent org/html/previous21.html). This conference has decades as a result of drastic environmental changes such as climate change and provided a venue for the exchange of anthropogenic activities. Microbial species invasions occur worldwide in terrestrial information on various aspects of aquatic and aquatic systems and represent an emerging challenge to our understanding of invasive species since its inception in 1990. The conference continues to provide an the interplay between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Due to the difficulty opportunity for dialog between academia, of detecting and evaluating non-indigenous microorganisms, little is known about industry and environmental regulators.

The Mediterranean Sea is an oligotrophic to ultra-oligotrophic marginal sea, which neighbors northern Africa (a major source of natural aerosols) and Europe (a source of mostly anthropogenic aerosols). Previous studies demonstrated that airborne bacteria deposited during dust events over the Mediterranean Sea may significantly alter the ecology and function of the surface seawater layer, yet little is known about their abundance and diversity during ‘background’ non-storm conditions. Here, we describe the abundance and genetic diversity of airborne bacteria in 16 air samples collected over an East-West transect of the entire Mediterranean Sea during non-storm conditions in April 2011. The results show that airborne bacteria represent diverse groups with the most abundant bacteria from the Firmicutes (Bacilli and Clostridia) and Proteobacteria (Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria) phyla.

Right after sample collection, Thermo Scientific™ Target2™ Nylon Syringe Filters (0.22 μm) were used to filter water samples prior to analyses. Conventional water chemistry parameters including pH, COD, nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N), ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N), and nitrite nitrogen (NO2-N) were measured for the feed and permeate samples in duplicates according to the standard methods (Federation and Association, 2005). To measure the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and mixed liquor volatile suspended solids (MLVSS) concentration (an indicator of microbial growth), a 30 mL sludge sample was collected weekly from the middle depth of the anoxic and aerobic tanks by using a disposable syringe.

Read Full License Page 1/30 Abstract In 2017, the 560-ha area of hybrid poplar plantation in northern Poland showed symptoms of tree decline. Leaves appeared smaller, turned yellow-brown, and were shed prematurely. Twigs and smaller branches died. Bark was sunken and discolored, often loosened and split. Trunks decayed from the base. Phloem and xylem showed brown necrosis. Ten per cent of trees died in 1–2 months. None of these symptoms was typical for known poplar diseases. Bacteria in soil and the necrotic base of poplar trunk were analysed with Illumina sequencing. Soil and wood were colonized by at least 615 and 249 taxa. The majority of bacteria were common to soil and wood. The most common taxa in soil were: Acidobacteria (14.757%), Actinobacteria (14.583%), Proteobacteria (36.872) with Betaproteobacteria (6.516%), Burkholderiales (6.102%), Comamonadaceae (2.786%), and Verrucomicrobia (5.307%).The most common taxa in wood were: Bacteroidetes (22.722%) including Chryseobacterium (5.074%), Flavobacteriales (10.873%), Sphingobacteriales (9.396%) with Pedobacter cryoconitis (7.306%), Proteobacteria (73.785%) with Enterobacteriales (33.247%) including Serratia (15.303%) and Sodalis (6.524%), Pseudomonadales (9.829%) including Pseudomonas (9.017%), Rhizobiales (6.826%), Sphingomonadales (5.646%), and Xanthomonadales (11.194%).

  • Type of the Paper (Article
    Supplementary Materials S1 Clinical details recorded, Sampling, DNA Extraction of Microbial DNA, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, Bioinformatic pipeline, Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction Clinical details recorded In addition to the microbial specimen, the following clinical features were also recorded for each patient: age, gender, infection type (primary or secondary, meaning initial or revision treatment), pain, tenderness to percussion, sinus tract and size of the periapical radiolucency, to determine the correlation between these features and microbial findings (Table 1). Prevalence of all clinical signs and symptoms (except periapical lesion size) were recorded on a binary scale [0 = absent, 1 = present], while the size of the radiolucency was measured in millimetres by two endodontic specialists on two- dimensional periapical radiographs (Planmeca Romexis, Coventry, UK). Sampling After anaesthesia, the tooth to be treated was isolated with a rubber dam (UnoDent, Essex, UK), and field decontamination was carried out before and after access opening, according to an established protocol, and shown to eliminate contaminating DNA (Data not shown). An access cavity was cut with a sterile bur under sterile saline irrigation (0.9% NaCl, Mölnlycke Health Care, Göteborg, Sweden), with contamination control samples taken. Root canal patency was assessed with a sterile K-file (Dentsply-Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland). For non-culture-based analysis, clinical samples were collected by inserting two paper points size 15 (Dentsply Sirona, USA) into the root canal. Each paper point was retained in the canal for 1 min with careful agitation, then was transferred to −80ºC storage immediately before further analysis. Cases of secondary endodontic treatment were sampled using the same protocol, with the exception that specimens were collected after removal of the coronal gutta-percha with Gates Glidden drills (Dentsply-Sirona, Switzerland).

Chemical Composition Analysis Single particle mass spectra of dry dispersed TXD particles in the size range between 200 30 and 2500 nm (vacuum aerodynamic diameter) were measured in the lab using a laser ablation aerosol particle time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LAAPTOF; AeroMegt GmbH) (Shen et al., 2018; 2019). Both untreated and heat-treated samples were examined. The powder particles were generated by powder dispersion using a rotating brush generator (PALAS GmbH, RBG1000), where small volumes of dry TXD sample were dispersed by dry synthetic air.
