Acidogenesis, solventogenesis, metabolic stress response and life cycle changes in Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B-598 at the transcriptomic level
(Springer Nature, 2019-02-04)Clostridium beijerinckii NRRL B-598 is a sporulating, butanol and hydrogen producing strain that utilizes carbohydrates by the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentative pathway. The pathway consists of two metabolic phases, ... -
Analysis of Visual Appearance of Retinal Nerve Fibers in High Resolution Fundus Images: A Study on Normal Subjects
(Hindawi, 2013-12-27)The retinal ganglion axons are an important part of the visual system, which can be directly observed by fundus camera. The layer they form together inside the retina is the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). This paper ... -
Apoferritin-mediated doxorubicin internalization through transferrin receptor 1
(Mendel University in Brno, 2017-12-31)This work is aimed at the possibilities of targeted drug delivery into the tumour tissue. This approach can greatly reduce the otherwise serious side effects of conventional treatment - systemic toxicity. For this purpose, ... -
Application of mini-MLST and whole genome sequencing in low diversity hospital extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae population
(PLOS, 2019-08-13)Studying bacterial population diversity is important to understand healthcare associated infections’ epidemiology and has a significant impact on dealing with multidrug resistant bacterial outbreaks. We characterised the ... -
Bioinformatics strategies for taxonomy independent binning and visualization of sequences in shotgun metagenomics
(Elsevier, 2016-12-05)One of main steps in a study of microbial communities is resolving their composition, diversity and function. In the past, these issues were mostly addressed by the use of amplicon sequencing of a target gene because of ... -
Biometric Authentication Using the Unique Characteristics of the ECG Signal
(IEEE, 2020-12-28)ECG is a biological signal specific for each person that is hard to create artificially. Therefore, its usage in biometry is highly investigated. It may be assumed that in the future, ECG for biometric purposes will be ... -
Bipartite Graphs for Visualization Analysis of Microbiome Data
(Libertas Academica, 2016-05-31)Visualization analysis plays an important role in metagenomics research. Proper and clear visualization can help researchers get their first insights into data and by selecting different features, also revealing and ... -
Blind Visualization of Task-Related Networks From Visual Oddball Simultaneous EEG-fMRI Data: Spectral or Spatiospectral Model?
(Frontiers, 2021-04-26)Various disease conditions can alter EEG event-related responses and fMRI-BOLD signals. We hypothesized that event-related responses and their clinical alterations are imprinted in the EEG spectral domain as event-related ... -
Brno University of Technology Smartphone PPG Database (BUT PPG): Annotated Dataset for PPG Quality Assessment and Heart Rate Estimation
(Hindawi, 2021-09-07)To the best of our knowledge, there is no annotated database of PPG signals recorded by smartphone publicly available. This article introduces Brno University of Technology Smartphone PPG Database (BUT PPG) which is an ... -
Cardiac Pathologies Detection and Classification in 12-lead ECG
(IEEE, 2020-12-30)Background: Automatic detection and classification of cardiac abnormalities in ECG is one of the basic and often solved problems. The aim of this paper is to present a proposed algorithm for ECG classification into 19 ... -
Cell segmentation methods for label-free contrast microscopy: review and comprehensive comparison
(BMC, 2019-07-28)Because of its non-destructive nature, label-free imaging is an important strategy for studying biological processes. However, routine microscopic techniques like phase contrast or DIC suffer from shadow-cast artifacts ... -
Challenges and Contradictions of Metal Nano-Particle Applications for Radio-Sensitivity Enhancement in Cancer Therapy
(MDPI, 2019-01-30)From the very beginnings of radiotherapy, a crucial question persists with how to target the radiation effectiveness into the tumor while preserving surrounding tissues as undamaged as possible. One promising approach is ... -
Characterisation of Waterborne Psychrophilic Massilia Isolates with Violacein Production and Description of Massilia antarctica sp. nov.
(MDPI, 2022-03-24)A group of seven bacterial strains producing blue-purple pigmented colonies on R2A agar was isolated from freshwater samples collected in a deglaciated part of James Ross Island and Eagle Island, Antarctica, from 2017-2019. ... -
Characterization of antibiotic resistance gene abundance and microbiota composition in feces of organic and conventional pigs from four EU countries
(Plos, 2015-06-28)One of the recent trends in animal production is the re-appearance of organic farming. The interest of wide public in organic farming is affected by interest in animal welfare and lower use of antibiotics in organic than ... -
Characterization of Egg Laying Hen and Broiler Fecal Microbiota in Poultry Farms in Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovenia
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-16)Poultry meat is the most common protein source of animal origin for humans. However, intensive breeding of animals in confined spaces has led to poultry colonisation by microbiota with a zoonotic potential or encoding ... -
