Without remorse, fossil fuels have made a huge contribution to global development in all of its forms. However, the recent scientific outlooks are currently shifting as more research is targeted towards promoting carbon-free economy addition use electric power from renewable sources. While energy sources may be solution anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions fuel they yet season-dependent faced with major atmospheric drawbacks which when combined annually varying, but steady, demand, results excesses or deficits. Therefore, it essential devise long-term storage medium balance their intermittent demand and supply. Hydrogen (H2) an vector has been suggested viable method achieving objectives meeting increasing demand. successful implementation full-scale H2 requires large-scale (as highly compressible). As such, geological formations considered potential where can withdrawn again at larger stage for utilization. Thus, this review, we focus on underground hydrogen (UHS) both conventional non-conventional UHS options were examined depth. Also, insights into some probable sites, related criteria selection highlighted. The hydrodynamics influencing factors (including solid, fluid, solid–fluid interactions) summarized exclusively. In addition, economics reaction perspectives inherent examined. findings study show that UHS, like other systems, still infancy. Further needed address significant hurdles gaps found, particularly replaceable parameters. result, valuable resource researchers.

The Role of Bacterial Biofilm in Antibiotic Resistance and Food Contamination

International Journal of Microbiology, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 2020, С. 1 - 10

Опубликована: Авг. 25, 2020

Biofilm is a microbial association or community attached to different biotic abiotic surfaces environments. These surface-attached communities can be found in food, medical, industrial, and natural critical problem the medical sector since it formed on implants within human tissue involved multitude of serious chronic infections. Food food processing surface become an ideal environment for biofilm formation where there are sufficient nutrients growth attachment. Therefore, these surfaces, especially becomes challenge safety health. Microorganisms encased matrix extracellular polymeric substances that act as barrier recalcitrant hostile conditions such sanitizers, antibiotics, other hygienic conditions. Generally, they persist exist environments source cross-contamination foodborne diseases. The issue with their antibiotic resistance which makes medication difficult, use physical, physiological, gene-related factors develop mechanisms. In order mitigate production controlling methods, better understand requirements aim this review article provide overview role bacterial biofilms contamination emphasizes ways its production.

Bacterial Biofilm Inhibition: A Focused Review on Recent Therapeutic Strategies for Combating the Biofilm Mediated Infections

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 12

Опубликована: Май 12, 2021

Biofilm formation is a major concern in various sectors and cause severe problems to public health, medicine, industry. Bacterial biofilm persistent threat, as it increases morbidity mortality, thereby imposing heavy economic pressure on the healthcare sector. biofilms also strengthen biofouling, affecting shipping functions, offshore industries their natural environment. Besides, they accomplish harsh roles corrosion of pipelines industries. At state, bacterial pathogens are significantly resistant external attack like antibiotics, chemicals, disinfectants, etc. Within cell, insensitive drugs host immune responses. The development intact very critical for spreading persistence infections host. Further, bacteria form every probable substratum, have been found plants, livestock, humans. advent novel strategies treating preventing has gained great deal attention. To prevent mutants, feasible technique that may target adhesive properties without vitality needed. This stimulated research rapidly growing field applicable control measures formation. Therefore, this review discusses current understanding antibiotic resistance mechanisms intensely emphasized therapeutic combating mediated infections. forthcoming experimental studies will focus these recent lead effective inhibitors than conventional treatments.

Biofilm formation in living organisms is associated to tissue and implant infections, it has also been linked the contribution of antibiotic resistance. Thus, understanding biofilm development being able mimic such processes vital for successful antibiofilm treatments therapies. Several decades research have contributed building foundation developing vitro vivo models. However, no thing as an "all fit" or models currently available. In this review, addition presenting updated overview formation, we critically revise recent approaches improvement

Abstract Biofilms are organised heterogeneous assemblages of microbial cells that encased within a self-produced matrix. Current estimates suggest up to 80% bacterial and archaeal reside in biofilms. Since biofilms the main mode life, understanding their biology functions is critical, especially as controlling biofilm growth essential industrial, infrastructure medical contexts. Here we discuss both collections individual cells, multicellular biological individuals, introduce concept unique incubators diversity for world.

Biofilms in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Significance and Clinical Relevance

Microorganisms, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 8(10), С. 1580 - 1580

Foot infections are the main disabling complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. These can lead to lower-limb amputation, increasing mortality and decreasing quality of life. Biofilm formation is an important pathophysiology step diabetic foot ulcers (DFU)—it plays a role disease progression chronicity lesion, development antibiotic resistance, makes wound healing difficult treat. The problem difficulty distinguishing between infection colonization DFU. bacteria present DFU organized into functionally equivalent pathogroups that allow for close interactions within biofilm. Consequently, some bacterial species alone would be considered non-pathogenic, or incapable maintaining chronic infection, could co-aggregate symbiotically pathogenic biofilm act synergistically cause infection. In this review, we discuss current knowledge on formation, its presence DFU, how environment affects regulation, clinical implications.
