Altering Microbiomes with Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles: A Metagenomic Analysis

Abstract: Hydroxyapatite (HAp), the most abundant biological material among mammals, has been recently demonstrated to possess moderate antibacterial properties. Metagenomics provides a series of tools for analyzing the simultaneous interaction of materials with larger communities of microbes, which may aid in optimizing the antibacterial activity of a material such as HAp. Here, a microbiome intrinsic to the sample of sandy soil collected from the base of an African Natal plum (Carissa macrocarpa) shrub surrounding the… Show more

“…The same goes for homemade research, carried out in more intimate settings than those of the mainstream labs of academic institutions and industrial sites: they connect to the young people, according to my experience, much better than the formally conducted research, alongside transmitting the noble idea that everyone at any time can be a creator and conductor of experiments that can change the world. At this spot, an excursion is made to the aforementioned research from my personal oeuvre in the early 2020s, when the excommunication from academia for political reasons, the loss of employment and the closure of an institutional lab inspired me to involve myself and children in research carried out in home bedrooms 75 , garages 76 , kitchens 77,78 , backyards 79 , lakes 80 , parks 81 , pools 82 and playgrounds 83,84 , arriving at far more stimulating findings and presenting them in far more inspirational ways than ever before. At the time this game was played, in May 1991, a bigger conflict was looming over my world than that taking place on the chessboard before me.…”
