Bioinorganic Synthesis of Polyrhodanine Stabilized Fe3O4/Graphene Oxide in Microbial Supernatant Media for Anticancer and Antibacterial Applications by Seyyed Mojtaba Mousavi, Seyyed Alireza Hashemi, Ahmad Gholami, Navid Omidifar, Maryam Zarei, Sonia Bahrani, Khadije Yousefi, Wei-Hung Chiang, Aziz Babapoor

“…Considering the viability percent of cells in the PR/GO/Fe3O4 compound and comparing it with GO/Fe3O4, it can be understood that the toxic effects of polyrhodanine can diminish the metabolic activity of cells at higher concentrations (mostly more than 50 µg/mL), and PR/Fe3O4/Ko exhibited some promotive effects on cell growth, which enhanced the viability percent to more than 100%. …”

How resistant is anammox biofilm against antibiotics: A special insight into anammox response towards fluoroquinolones by Faysal-Al Mamun, Rohit Kumar, Kelvin Ugochukwu Anwuta, Sovik Das, Madis Jaagura, Koit Herodes, Tetyana Kyrpel, Agnieszka Fiszka Borzyszkowska, Anna Zielińska-Jurek, Zane Vincevica-Gaile, Juris Burlakovs, Andrey E. Krauklis, Mohamad Nor Azra, Md Salauddin, Jiexi Zhong, Taavo Tenno, Kai Bester, Ivar Zekker

“…In this context, anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria carry a great potential to degrade PhACs through their innate metabolic pathways. This study investigates the influence of short-term exposure to lower and higher concentrations (0.8 mg L−1, 0.06 mg L−1, respectively) of antibiotics on the anammox process under distinct operational conditions (starvation/non-starvation) in moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR). …”
