Bacterial viability in self-healing concrete: A case study of non-ureolytic bacillus species
(Microorganisms, 2023)Cracking is an inevitable feature of concrete, typically leading to corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement and massive deterioration because of the freezing–thawing cycles. Different means have been proposed to ... -
Baker’s yeast-based microbial fuel cell mediated by 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone
(Membranes: Special issue: Membranes for electrochemical devices, 2021)Microbial fuel cell (MFC) efficiency depends on charge transfer capability from microbe to anode, and the application of suitable redox mediators is important in this area. In this study, yeast viability experiments were ... -
Biochemical pathways leading to the formation of wyosine derivatives in tRNA of archaea
(Biomolecules, 2020)Tricyclic wyosine derivatives are present at position 37 in tRNAPhe of both eukaryotes and archaea. In eukaryotes, five different enzymes are needed to form a final product, wybutosine (yW). In archaea, 4-demethylwyosine ... -
Biodistribution of multimodal gold nanoclusters designed for photoluminescence-SPECT/CT imaging and diagnostic
