Composition of Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum radix oil from different extraction methods and activities against human body odor-producing bacteria.

Journal of food and drug analysis
In this study, oils from Asarum heterotropoides were extracted by traditional solvent extraction and supercritical CO (SC-CO) extraction methods and their antioxidant activities along with antimicrobial and inhibitory activities against five human bo...

MicrO: an ontology of phenotypic and metabolic characters, assays, and culture media found in prokaryotic taxonomic descriptions.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: MicrO is an ontology of microbiological terms, including prokaryotic qualities and processes, material entities (such as cell components), chemical entities (such as microbiological culture media and medium ingredients), and assays. The o...

Artificial Intelligence for the Evaluation of Operational Parameters Influencing Nitrification and Nitrifiers in an Activated Sludge Process.

Microbial ecology
Nitrification at a full-scale activated sludge plant treating municipal wastewater was monitored over a period of 237 days. A combination of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) were use...

DectICO: an alignment-free supervised metagenomic classification method based on feature extraction and dynamic selection.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Continual progress in next-generation sequencing allows for generating increasingly large metagenomes which are over time or space. Comparing and classifying the metagenomes with different microbial communities is critical. Alignment-free...

Genome-wide prediction of prokaryotic two-component system networks using a sequence-based meta-predictor.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Two component systems (TCS) are signalling complexes manifested by a histidine kinase (receptor) and a response regulator (effector). They are the most abundant signalling pathways in prokaryotes and control a wide range of biological pro...

Design, synthesis and antimicrobial activity of 6-N-substituted chitosan derivatives.

Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters
Three novel 6-N-substituted chitosan derivatives were designed and synthesised and characterized by FTIR and NMR. The degree of substitution was calculated by elemental analysis results. The antimicrobial activities of the target compounds were evalu...

Accurate contact predictions using covariation techniques and machine learning.

Proteins
Here we present the results of residue-residue contact predictions achieved in CASP11 by the CONSIP2 server, which is based around our MetaPSICOV contact prediction method. On a set of 40 target domains with a median family size of around 40 effectiv...

The contribution of co-reference resolution to supervised relation detection between bacteria and biotopes entities.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: The acquisition of knowledge about relations between bacteria and their locations (habitats and geographical locations) in short texts about bacteria, as defined in the BioNLP-ST 2013 Bacteria Biotope task, depends on the detection of co-...

Detection and categorization of bacteria habitats using shallow linguistic analysis.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Information regarding bacteria biotopes is important for several research areas including health sciences, microbiology, and food processing and preservation. One of the challenges for scientists in these domains is the huge amount of inf...

A Novel Feature Extraction Approach Using Window Function Capturing and QPSO-SVM for Enhancing Electronic Nose Performance.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this paper, a novel feature extraction approach which can be referred to as moving window function capturing (MWFC) has been proposed to analyze signals of an electronic nose (E-nose) used for detecting types of infectious pathogens in rat wounds....
