The accumulation of plastic waste in the environment has become a serious environmental problem worldwide. Biodegradable plastics, such as polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), could serve green alternatives to petroleum-based plastics. In this study, mixed microbial culture was enriched under feast/famine conditions using sequencing batch reactor (SBR) with acetate carbon source. enrichment accumulate maximum PHA concentration 32.3% gPHA/g liquor suspended solids (MLSS) 12th cycle SBR operation....
Novel and alternative vector control approaches using a sterile male-based release to suppress Aedes aegypti mosquito vectors have recently been tested in the field many countries. These included insect technique (SIT), incompatible (IIT), combination of both techniques. In this study, we conducted series experiments compare quality between radiation-based Wolbachia -induced males terms flight ability, sterility, mating competitiveness, survival rate, longevity. mosquitoes irradiated at 50...
This study explored the gut health potential of green seaweed Ulva rigida (SW-U) and red Gracilaria fisheri (SW-G), as well polysaccharide-enriched extracts (PF-U PF-G, respectively). The were not digestible by small intestinal enzymes, but morphology samples was changed. After 24 h in vitro fermentation, seaweeds significantly increased (p < 0.05) production total short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (29.4–35.4 µmoL/mL) compared to control (17.9 µmoL/mL). G. showed more for improving than U....
The versatility of plastic has resulted in huge amounts being consumed annually. Mismanagement post-consumption material led to waste pollution. Biodegradation by microorganisms emerged as a potential solution this problem. Therefore, study aimed investigate the microbial communities involved biodegradation polypropylene (PP). Mangrove soil was enriched with virgin PP sheets or chemically pretreated comparing between 2 and 4 months enrichment promote growth bacteria biodegradation. diversity...
Abstract Wolbachia bacteria are common endosymbionts of insects and have recently been applied for controlling arboviral vectors, especially Aedes aegypti mosquito populations. However, several medically important species in Sri Lanka were present with limited information the infection status. Therefore, screening indigenous mosquitoes is required prior to a successful application -based vector control strategy. In this study, 78 collected from various parts country revealed that 13 positive...
Peri-urban aquacultures produce nutritious food in proximity to markets, but poor surface water quality rapidly expanding megacities threatens their success emerging economies. Our study compared, for a wide range of parameters, downstream Bangkok with aquaculture regulations and standards. For parameters not meeting those requirements, we sought establish whether practice or external factors were responsible. We applied conventional advanced methods, including micropollutant analysis,...
The aims of this work were to study the gold leaching by isolated bacteria from silicate ore. Three strains and identified as Macrococcus caseolyticus, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Bacillus sp. MBEA40. However, only M. caseolyticus A. calcoaceticus capable bioleaching. In order examine effect microorganisms involved in bioleaching process, minimal medium ethanol mineral salt without amino acids used for culturing respectively. result showed that growth supernatant (in absence microorganisms)...
Microbial regrowth causes problems during water reuse. Comprehensive understanding of the microorganisms that can regrow in reclaimed and their substrate requirements are necessary. In this study, potential organisms were isolated from seven reclamation plants Japan. Based on 16S rDNA analysis, isolates grouped into 34 operational taxonomic units, belonging to Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes. Substrate utilization...
Microbial regrowth, microbial growth after disinfection, is an important problem that deteriorates water quality during the storage and distribution of reclaimed water. Biodegradable organic matter (BOM) remains reclamation processes directly promotes regrowth. In this study we propose a novel assay called ‘bacterial fingerprint (BGF)’ to characterise BOM based on maximum bacterial strains, which extension conventional assimilable carbon for drinking Nine strains were selected from nearly...
The study aims are to investigate the people perception on flood response, awareness and information dissemination during 2011 flood, discuss proper needed for preparedness, understand drinking water preferences emergency periods. A question-naire survey was conducted collect preparedness from residing in a suburb of Bangkok that one most severely affected areas. Re-sults showed more than 90% public realized necessity awareness. Flood risk per- ception level positively correlated with age....
Background Wolbachia is an endosymbiont bacterium generally found in about 40% of insects, including mosquitoes, but it absent Aedes aegypti which important vector several arboviral diseases. The evidence that trans-infected Ae . mosquitoes lost their vectorial competence and became less capable transmitting arboviruses to human hosts highlights the potential using Wolbachia- based approaches for prevention control Recently, release has been deployed widely many countries mosquito-borne...
, a wild edible mushroom, has attracted increasing interest for consumption due to its unique taste and beneficial health benefits. This study determined the chemical components in so-called fruiting body during egg mature stages investigated gut microbiota-modulating activities. The stage contained higher total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, glucans, ash, fat, while protein content was lower than stage. Two forms, including cooked mushrooms mushroom aqueous extract from both stages, were...
Background Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), Incompatible (IIT) and a combination become the alternative promising vector control approaches. In these approaches, targeted mosquitoes need to be sterilized released. So far, irradiation of has been conducted at pupae or adult stages. this study, we investigated possibility X-ray egg stage also assessed effect on development sterility both wild-type Wolbachia trans-infected Aedes aegypti mosquito vectors. Methodology/Principal Findings The eggs...
