In order to alleviate the problem of grouting blockage caused by the immediate action of bacteria and chemical reagents in the process of MICP reinforcement of sandy soil, this paper delays the ...

Several enzymes catalyze much of the processes that exist in the soil. Enzymes in polluted soils are usually less active due to their exposure to heavy metals. The main goal of this study was to see ...

Gut microbial metabolism of dietary choline, a nutrient abundant in a Western diet, produces trimethylamine (TMA) and the atherothrombosis- and fibrosis-promoting metabolite TMA-N-oxide (TMAO). Recent ...

Diatoms, considered as one of the most diverse and largest groups of algae, can provide the means to reach a sustainable production of petrochemical substitutes and bioactive compounds. However, a ...

In the body, mucus provides an important defense mechanism by limiting the penetration of pathogens. It is therefore also a major obstacle for the efficient delivery of particle-based drug carriers.
