Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for nosocomial infections, and is often involved in airway infections of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.P.aeruginosa virulence is related to its ability to form biofilm, trigger different types of motilities, and produce toxins (for example, bacterial pigments).In this scenario, essenti
Ethanol has significant potential for the reduction of fuel consumption and the emissions of engines.In this paper, a dual-fuel combined engine test rig with ethanol injected in the intake port and gasoline injected directly into the cylinder are developed and the effects of ethanol/gasoline ratio (Re) on the combustion and emission of particle num
Pastures are the basis of bovine feeding in Brazil.However, productivity levels are much lower than what could be reached with adoption of appropriate management of pasture areas.Numerous factors contribute for these results, especially the low availability FIJI NATURAL SPR.

We spend the majority of our lives indoors where we are constantly exposed to bacteria residing on surfaces.However, the diversity of these surface-associated communities is largely unknown.We explored the biogeographical patterns exhibited by bacteria across ten surfaces within each of twelve public restrooms.Using high-throughput barcoded pyroseq
