ABSTRACT A one-step reverse transcription and real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) test was developed for rapid screening (40 minutes) of the Spike N501Y HV69-70del mutations in SARS-CoV-2 positive samples. The also targets a conserved region Orf1ab as an internal control. samples containing both are concluded VOC-202012/01 positive. Samples suspected to be B.1.351 or P.1 negative cases. Limit detection (LOD) kit target is 500 copies/mL, while that N501, Y501 5000 copies/mL. assay applied 165 clinical...
Abstract Aim To detect the unknown components of oral microbiome and effects root canal treatment in a Turkish population to evaluate changes microbial diversity canals before after treatment. Methodology Single‐rooted central lateral maxillary incisors with one were chosen from 20 patients. Baseline samples intact intracanal microbiota collected permanent teeth necrotic pulps using sterile paper points. After preparation, filled calcium hydroxide paste for 7 days. Calcium was removed 2.5%...
Abstract In this study, changes in microbial diversity and polyhydroxyalkanoate storage ability of activated sludge under aerobic dynamic feeding conditions were investigated. Two sequencing batch reactors operated with without nitrogen limitation, by applying a moderate retention time. Polymer abilities the biomasses improved significantly conditions, terms specific polymer rate, yield content sludge. Moreover, together nutrient limitation further mixed population. yields biomass enriched...
Abstract In this study, two full‐scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors, namely TUASB and CUASB, at the wastewater treatment plants of Tekirdaǧ Alcohol (Raki) Canakkale (Cognac) distilleries were investigated in terms performance, acetoclastic methanogenic capacity microbial composition. The results compared with a previously studied other UASB reactor (IUASB) plant Istanbul Distillery from which reactors (TUASB CUASB) seeded. IUASB performed well achieving COD removal...
Group A streptococci (GAS) are the most common bacterial cause of acute pharyngitis and account for 15-30 % cases in children 5-10 adults. In this study, a real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) based GAS detection assay pharyngeal swab specimens was developed.The qPCR compared with gold standard culture rapid antigen test (RADT) to evaluate its clinical performance 687 patients. The analytical sensitivity 240 cfu/swab. Forty-five different potential cross-reacting organisms did not react test....
In this study, specific methanogenic activity (SMA) test and fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) were respectively used to determine acetoclastic capacity, composition number of sulphate reducing bacterial (SRB) populations within a full scale anaerobic contact reactor treating pulp paper industry effluent. The sludge samples collected from three different heights along the having difficulty completely stirring. Performance terms COD removal efficiency varied between 47 55% at organic...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect toluene on an anaerobic sludge taken from a full-scale upflow blanket (UASB) reactor in terms potential activity and composition acetoclastic methanogens. Specific methanogenic (SMA) test results showed that 5%, 9.5%, 14%, 24%, 29%, 38% 62% inhibition occurred methane production (PMP) rate at concentrations 0.1 mM, 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 mM 1 respectively. Fluorescence situ hybridization (FISH) relative abundance archaeal cells approx. 19%...
Vibrio anguillarum expresses several virulence factors and causes hemorrhagic septicemia accompanied by serious losses in marine fish. Transferrin is a glycoprotein, also known as multitasking protein, which mainly synthesized the liver. It has fundamental role immune system. In present study, transferrin gene expression of sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) was investigated during an experimental infection with V. anguillarum. Fish samples were examined hematological serological methods well...
Seven different PCR primers targeting 18 myxomycetes genera were designed and ribosomal DNA ITS1-5.8SrDNA-ITS2 regions of 52 morphologically characterized species from Turkey amplified sequenced. The studied belong to the Arcyria, Badhamia, Ceratiomyxa, Collaria, Comatricha, Cribraria, Diachea, Diderma, Didymium, Enerthenema, Lamproderma, Lycogala, Perichaena, Physarum, Reticularia, Stemonitis, Stemonitopsis, Trichia. Significant ITS region size sequence variations observed among analyzed...
In this study, the distribution, morphology and relative abundance of Sulfate Reducing Bacterial (SRB) Methanogenic Archaeal (MA) populations in Black Sea sediments were investigated by using situ hybridization with fluorescently labeled rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes. Results discussed respect to characteristics sampling points. MA SRB showed a great diversity all sediment samples. Higher (20–30%) (30–35%) observed within from deeper parts than shallower (10–11% 13–14% SRB)....
A full-scale upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor was investigated in terms of archaeal composition, acetoclastic methanogenic capacity and performance over a 2-year period. Performance the COD removal efficiency varied between 60% 80% at organic loading rates (OLRs) range 2.5–12 kg m− 3d− 1. The had been operated under F/M (food to microorganisms) ratio 0.02–0.03 gCOD gTVS− 1 d− 1, which is much lower than typical values reported for similar reactors. According specific activity...
Avian mycoplasmas are associated with respiratory disease, synovitis, poor quality of day-old chicks and performance. The main approach used for the diagnosis avian is isolation identification microorganism. Since bacteria slow growing fastidious organisms, conventional methods time consuming, laborious require experienced personnel. For this reason, we aimed to develop a rapid detection method Mycoplasma gallisepticum synoviae by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)....
Abstract BACKGROUND The investigation of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to (DNRA) pathways has improved our insight into nitrogen removal from wastewater. detection dominant is beneficial for gaining knowledge on fate during wastewater treatment. aim this study explore in case fluctuation loading rate (NLR). For purpose, effect NLR under different feeding strategies (short‐term long‐term feeding) relative abundance functional genes related were...
