The compromised biocompatibility and biological features of present nanorobotic design have limited their development in biomedical community due to the dependence on inorganic materials. Here we ...

The most common method of measuring urease activity is to add a colorimetric assay agent for ammonia (e.g., Nessler’s reagent) to a solution of hydrolyzed urea. The absorbance of the solution at a ...

Quantifying urease activity is an important task for Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation research. A new urease activity microplate assay using a fluorescent pH indicator is presented. The method ...

Cryptococcus neoformans is a facultative intracellular pathogen and its interaction with macrophages is a key event determining the outcome of infection. Urease is a major virulence factor in C.

Microbially-induced CaCO 3 precipitation (MICP) is a naturally occurring process wherein durable carbonates are formed as a result of microbial metabolic activities. In recent years, MICP technology ...

Edited by James M. Tiedje, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, and approved July 29, 2015 (received for review April 2, 2015) Ureolytic activity of a N. moscoviensis pure culture during ...

Bacterial genomic DNA was extracted from pure culture with the fast spin kit (Invitrogen) following the manufacturer's instructions. Amplification of 16S rRNA gene was performed in 50 μL of reaction ...

Urease is a virulence factor found in various pathogenic bacteria. It is essential in colonization of a host organism and in maintenance of bacterial cells in tissues. Due to its enzymatic activity, ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...
