In this work, sunlight inactivation of two indicator bacteria in freshwater, with and without solid particles, was studied and the persistence of culturable cells and total DNA was compared. Environmental water was used ...

Photoinactivation of Streptococcus mitis induced by zinc(II) 2,9,16,23-tetrakis[2-(N,N,N-trimethylamino)ethoxy]phthalocyanine (ZnEPc4+) was studied under different experimental condition in order to obtain information about ...

Photodynamic inactivation of Candida albicans produced by 5-(4-trifluorophenyl)-10,15,20-tris(4-N,N,N-trimethylammoniumphenyl)porphyrin (TFAP3+), 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-N,N,N-trimethylammoniumphenyl) porphyrin (TMAP4+) and ...

Herein we report a simple fluorescence microscopy methodology that, jointly with four photosensitizers (PSs) and a cell viability marker, allows monitoring of phenotypic bacterial resistance to photodynamic inactivation ...

Chronic metabolic alterations may represent a risk factor for the development of cognitive impairment, dementia, or neurodegenerative diseases. Hyperglycemia and obesity are known to imprint epigenetic markers that compromise ...

Nonsyndromic clefts of the lip and/or palate are common birth defects with a strong genetic component. Based on unequal gender ratios for clefting phenotypes, evidence for linkage to the X chromosome and the occurrence of ...

The ethanolic extract of propolis, especially the Brazilian green type, is widely and mainly used for therapeutic purposes despite the lack of knowledge about its effects and its cellular mode of action. This type of ...
