Similar to soil and sediment, activated sludge (AS) is a highly complex system of eukaryotes (protozoa and fungi), bacteria, archaea and viruses, in which bacteria are dominant. Despite its importance ...

DNA sequencing has markedly changed the nature of biomedical research, identifying millions of polymorphisms along the human genome that now require further analysis to study the genetic basis of ...

Dental caries, or tooth decay, is the dissolution of tooth structure by acids formed by bacteria as a result of the fermentation of dietary carbohydrate, particularly sucrose. Streptococcus mutans was ...

Pyrosequencing can be used to detect DNA and RNA from almost any source, and has applications in bacteria resistance screening, drug development, epigenetics, and many other fields. If no light is ...
