This study successfully achieved stable nitritation by adding hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) to the nitrification sludge whose nitritation stability had been destroyed. The batch experiment demonstrated that, the activity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) was restored more rapidly than that of nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) after the addition of H2 O2 , thereby selectively promoting AOB enrichment and NOB washout. When the H2 O2 concentration was 6.25 mg/L, the NOB activity was significantly reduced and the nitrite accumulation rate (NAR) was more than 95% after 18 cycles of nitrifying sludge restoration...

UNLABELLED: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive pathogen responsible for the majority of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). S. aureus colonizes the anterior nares of approximately 20%-30% of the population and transiently colonizes the skin, thereby increasing the risk of developing SSTIs and more serious infections. Current laboratory models that mimic the skin surface environment are expensive, require substantial infrastructure, and limit the scope of bacterial physiology studies under human skin conditions...

Cassava, a vital global food source, faces a threat from Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD). CBSD results from two viruses: Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV). These viruses frequently pose challenges to the traditional symptom-based 1-5 phenotyping method due to its limitations in terms of accuracy and objectivity. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) offers precise virus quantification, although high costs hinder its widespread adoption. In this research, we utilized qPCR to measure the viral titer/load of CBSV and UCBSV...
