Prions Are Adsorbed onto ASL Particles and Retain Infectivity. N2a-PK1 cells are inoculated with the supernatant (SN, upper lane), or pellet (sedimented fraction, PT, lower lane), derived from centrif
Despite the importance of microbial activity in mobilizing arsenic in groundwater aquifers, the phylogenetic distribution of contributing microbial metabolisms is understudied. Groundwater samples fro
The study investigated the spatial distribution of microbes in soils of a Pb/Zn smelter and evaluated the effects of heavy metals on the microbial diversity and community composition.
The clay layer, generally considered to protect the aquifer from contamination, could act as a source to exacerbate the enrichment of arsenic (As) in the aquifer. However, microbial processes in the c
