Rapid mercury removal using living indigenous microalgal communities for water treatment applications by Amr Nasr Fekry (22521185)

“…Comprehensive isotherm analysis revealed the Dubinin-Radushkevich model provided the best fit (R² = 0.998), indicating physical adsorption as the predominant mechanism, as the calculated mean free energy (E = 5.00 kJ/mol) falls within the 1–8 kJ/mol range characteristic of physical adsorption. …”

Proteomic analyses of the cell walls of candida albicans PGA1 and PIR32 null mutants. (c2017) by Khoury, Pamela Milad El

“…The pga1 null strain was less adherent and virulent than the wild type strain and exhibited reductions in chitin deposition, biofilm formation, filamentation, and resistance to stress. The pir32 null strain on the other hand showed more pronounced phenotypes such as hyperfilamentation ability, and increased resistance to oxidative stress in part due to a two fold increase in chitin deposition. …”
