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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Characterization of Microbiota Composition and Presence of Selected Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Carriage Water of Ornamental Fish
(Public Library of Science, 2014-08-01)International trade with ornamental fish is gradually recognized as an important source of a wide range of different antibiotic resistant bacteria. In this study we therefore characterized the prevalence of selected ... -
Cisplatin enhances cell stiffness and decreases invasiveness rate in prostate cancer cells by actin accumulation
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019-02-07)We focused on the biomechanical and morphological characteristics of prostate cancer cells and their changes resulting from the effect of docetaxel, cisplatin, and long-term zinc supplementation. Cell population surviving ... -
A Comparative Analysis of Methods for Evaluation of ECG Signal Quality after Compression
(Hindawi, 2018-07-18)The assessment of ECG signal quality after compression is an essential part of the compression process. Compression facilitates the signal archiving, speeds up signal transmission, and reduces the energy consumption. ... -
Complete genome sequence of Pragia fontium 24613, an environmental bacterium from the family Enterobacteriaceae
(ASM, 2015-07-09)The complete genome sequence of Pragia fontium 24613 was determined using PacBio RSII, Roche 454 and SOLiD sequencing. A total of 3,579 genes were predicted, including 3,338 protein-coding sequences and 146 pseudogenes. ... -
Complex study on compression of ECG signals using novel single-cycle fractal-based algorithm and SPIHT
(Springer Nature, 2020-09-25)Compression of ECG signal is essential especially in the area of signal transmission in telemedicine. There exist many compression algorithms which are described in various details, tested on various datasets and their ... -
