Open AccessModeling human enteric dysbiosis and rotavirus immunity in gnotobiotic pigs
Rotavirus vaccines have poor efficacy in infants from low- and middle-income countries. Gut microbiota is thought to influence the immune response to oral vaccines. Thus, we developed a gnotobiotic (Gn) pig mo...

Open AccessProbiotics and virulent human rotavirus modulate the transplanted human gut microbiota in gnotobiotic pigs
We generated a neonatal pig model with human infant gut microbiota (HGM) to study the effect of a probiotic on the composition of the transplanted microbiota following rotavirus vaccination and challenge. All ...

Photobiodegradation of phenol with ultraviolet irradiation of new ceramic biofilm carriers
Activated sludge acclimated to biodegrade phenol was allowed to attach on and in light porous ceramic carriers and to function as a biofilm in a photolytic circulating-bed bioreactor (PCBBR). Phenol degradatio...

H2-Producing bacterial communities from a heat-treated soil inoculum
Hydrogen gas (∼60% H2) was produced in a continuous flow bioreactor inoculated with heat-treated soil, and fed synthetic wastewater containing glucose (9.5 g l−1). The pH in the bioreactor was maintained at 5.5 t...
