• Real-time and Dynamic Monitoring of Virus-mediated Cytopathogenicity
  

  To understand overall infectivity, virus progression and disease onset it is important to perform a detailed examination of cytopathic effects. Depending on the type of viruses and cells, different cytopathic effects might be observed dependent on the timepoint of infection (e.g., during the growth or stationary phase) and the amount of virus used. One of the most common methods for measuring lysogenic/lytic activity of viruses is the plaque test [1]. In this assay culture plates with confluent cells that are sensitive towards the specific virus type/strain are used. Lytic activity of a virus is detected by macroscopic analysis of plaques in a confluent cell layer after staining (e.g., with crystal violet). This technique is an end-point assay and it is well-suited to determine viral titers; however, it provides no information about the onset of cytopathic effects and kinetics of the viral replication. Moreover, infection with a number of viruses (e.g., attenuated mutants) leads to the formation of small and more

• Structural and Chemical 3D Imaging with AFM and Raman.
  

  In the Life Sciences and Bio-medical Research, the characterization of chemical compounds within cells or tissues is one of the most important and difficult tasks for researchers to perform. The development of pharmaceuticals such as drug delivery coatings or capsules also requires as much information as possible about their chemical and structural compositions. For the fields of nanotechnology and materials science, a thorough knowledge of the samples' surface morphology on a sub-micron scale is essential more

• Pathogen detection with VYOO(TM)
  

  Sepsis is the most common cause of death in hospitalized patients worldwide. Inadequate antibiotic therapy represents an independent determinant of patients' mortality. Promptness of pathogen detection and the appliance of appropriate antibiotics are the cornerstones of management of severe bacterial infections. Furthermore, resistance to antibiotics is an increasing public health problem that can be attributed largely to their overuse. Thus, rapid diagnostic tests with both superior positive and negative predictive values over current techniques are sorely needed. more

• Optimization of outdoor cultivation in Flat Panel Airlift reactors for lipid production by Chlorella vulgaris

  Abstract Microalgae are discussed as a potential renewable feedstock for biofuel production. The production of highly concentrated algae biomass with a high fatty acid content, accompanied by high productivity with the use of natural sunlight is therefore of great interest. In the current study more

• Genome sequences of two dehalogenation specialists ‐ Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains BTF08 and DCMB5 enriched from the highly polluted Bitterfeld region

  Abstract The genomes of two novel Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains, DCMB5 and BTF08, enriched from the heavily organohalide‐contaminated megasite around Bitterfeld (Germany), were fully sequenced and annotated. Although overall similar, the genome sequences of the two strains reveal remarkable d more
