Abstract Two submerged anaerobic membrane bioreactors (SAMBRs) with essentially 100% cell recycle (150 days retention time, SRT), one powdered activated carbon addition (PAC 1.7 g L −1 ) and without, were continuously fed a low‐strength feed (450 mg COD in order to investigate fouling characterize the foulants. The SAMBR which did not receive PAC experienced more fouling, molecular weight (MW) distribution showed that there was greater amount of high‐MW compounds this reactor when compared...

Exposure to the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) is toxic neurons and other cell types, but mechanism(s) involved are still unresolved. Synthetic Aβ oligomers can induce ion-permeable pores in synthetic membranes, whether this ability damage membranes plays a role of tau hyperphosphorylation, or disease-relevant pathological changes, unclear. To examine cellular responses exposure independent possible receptor interactions, we have developed an vivo C. elegans model that allows us visualize these...
