Prediction of bioavailability and toxicity of complex chemical mixtures through machine learning models.

Empirical data from a 6-month mesocosms experiment were used to assess the ability and performance of two machine learning (ML) models, including artificial neural network (NN) and random forest (RF), to predict temporal bioavailability changes of complex chemical mixtures in contaminated soils amended with compost or biochar. From the predicted bioavailability data, toxicity response for relevant...

New bacitracin-resistant nisin-producing strain of and its physiological characterization.

Nisin A belonging to the class I bacteriocins and produced by subsp. is widely used in many countries as highly efficient and safe preservative preventing growth of undesirable bacteria in food products. Though this compound is efficient at very low concentrations, reduction of its manufacturing cost is still relevant problem. An increased nisin A production requires improved resistance of its p...
