Genotype-Dependent Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Free Chlorine and Ultraviolet (UV) Irradiation

Tamar Kohn, Shotaro Torii, Marie-Hélène Chantal Corre

Inactivation kinetics of enterovirus by disinfection is often studied using a single laboratory strain of a given genotype. Environmental variants of enterovirus are genetically distinct from the corresponding laboratory strain, yet it is poorly understood ...

The Metal Catalyst Influences the Kinetics and Mechanisms of MS2 Inactivation in Fenton-like Systems

Tamar Kohn, Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Human enteric viruses are frequent microbial contaminants of surface water and groundwater. Waterborne viruses can be effectively inactivated by oxidants, such as those generated in Fenton-like systems. However, the mechanisms by which this inactivation oc ...

Castles fall from inside: Evidence for dominant internal photo-catalytic mechanisms during treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

In this work, the antimicrobial effects of the photo-Fenton process on yeast cells were tested (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), an essential eukaryotic unicellular model of living cells. Near-neutral pH was used in all studies, while iron sulfate and iron citra ...

From lamprey to salamander: an exploratory modeling study on the architecture of the spinal locomotor networks in the salamander

Auke Ijspeert, Andrej Bicanski

The evolutionary transition from water to land required new locomotor modes and corresponding adjustments of the spinal "central pattern generators" for locomotion. Salamanders resemble the first terrestrial tetrapods and represent a key animal for the stu ...
