A biochar-based medium in the biofiltration system: removal efficiency, microorganism propagation and the medium penetration modelling
(Journal of the air & waste management association, 2016)Four strains of microorganisms (including micromycetes Aspergillus versicolor BF-4 and Cladosporium herbarum 7KA, as well as yeast Exophiala sp.BF1 and bacterium Bacillus subtilis B20) were selected. At the inlet loading ... -
A novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer strain secreting the X factor related to killer activity and inhibition of S. cerevisiae K1, K2 and K28 killer toxins
(Indian journal of microbiology, 2016)It was determined that Kx strains secrete an X factor which can inhibit all known Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxins (K1, K2, K28) and some toxins of other yeast species—the phenomenon not yet described in the scientific ... -
A quick and reliable method for genome-wide host factor screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxins
(Biologija, 2016)Numerous yeasts produce toxic compounds to fight the competitors. Such compounds include small molecules (like antibiotics), antibiotic peptides, and also larger proteins, including killer toxins. Their ability to affect ... -
Accumulation of heavy metals in different body tissues of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., exposed to a model mixture (Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd) and singly to nickel, chromium, and lead
(Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014)One-year-old Atlantic salmon smolts were exposed for 2 weeks either to six priority heavy metal mixture or to Ni, Pb, and Cr singly at a concentration corresponding to Lithuanian inland water standards: Cu – 0.01, Zn – ... -
Accumulation of heavy metals in different body tissues of Gibel carp Carassius gibelio separately exposed to a model mixture (Cu, Zn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd) and nickel
(Journal of environmental engineering and landscape management, 2014)The highest amounts found were of Zn (15.2 mg kg), while the lowest of Cd (0.012 mg/kg). In the muscle and gills, HMs were accumulated in the following order: Zn > Cu > Ni > Cr > Pb > Cd, while in the liver: Zn > Cu > Pb ... -
Adaptive response of Saccharomyces hosts to Totiviridae L-A dsRNA viruses Is achieved through intrinsically balanced action of targeted transcription factors
(Journal of fungi, 2022)Totiviridae L-A virus is a widespread yeast dsRNA virus. The persistence of the L-A virus alone appears to be symptomless, but the concomitant presence of a satellite M virus provides a killer trait for the host cell. The ... -
Algae cell wall disruption by electrohydraulic shock
(Journal of vibroengineering, 2016)Biofuel production from algae oil is one of the most attractive process technologies. Few principles of algae cell disruption are presented on the market and introduced on the conference. Mainly, mechanical, thermal and ... -
Alterations in selected haematological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss) exposed to complex mixtures of contaminants
(Environment Protection Engineering, 2010)The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare changes in the selected haematological parameters of rainbow trout after long-term (14 days) exposure to sublethal concentrations of two kinds of contaminants: 1) highway ... -
Antimicrobial activity of L-lysine and poly-L-lysine with pulsed electric fields
(Applied science, 2021)For the first time, the possibility to use L-lysine (Lys) and poly-L-lysine (PLL) as additives with pulsed electric fields (PEF) for antimicrobial treatment is reported. The antimicrobial efficacy of Lys and PLL for ... -
Application of pulsed electric fields for the elimination of highly drug-resistant Candida grown under modelled microgravity conditions
(International journal of astrobiology, 2019)Candida lusitaniae and C. guilliermondii are perfect model organisms for the study of Candida genera behaviour in various conditions. Both of them are rare pathogens capable to cause candidiasis in the patients with weakened ... -
Assesment of tritium activity in groundwater at the nuclear objects sites in Lithuania
(International Journal of Nuclear Energy, 2014)The assessment of nuclear objects sites in Lithuania, including groundwater characterization, took place in the last few years. Tritium activity in groundwater is a very useful tool for determining how groundwater systems ... -
Assessment of heavy metal (Ni, Cu) interactions in binary mixture to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at early life stages
(Food and environment safety, 2012)Lethal toxicity test and sublethal short-term and long-term toxicity tests on embryos and larvae of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (beginning from “eye-egg” embryos and from 1-day old larvae) were performed. Lethal and ... -
