Prophylaktische Operationen bei Inzidentalomen der Nebenniere

Aerosol-assisted low pressure plasma deposition of antimicrobial hybrid organic-inorganic Cu-composite thin films for food packaging applications

“…This effect may involve substitution of essential ions and block of functional groups of proteins, inactivation of enzymes, production of hydroperoxide free radicals by membranebound copper and alterations of membrane integrity. Other studies suggested that DNA in bacteria exposed to copper surfaces might become degraded, since copper ions affect the sulfhydryl groups of proteins causing DNA damage (Nies, 1999.…”

Functional activity and functional gene diversity of a Cu-contaminated soil remediated by aided phytostabilization using compost, dolomitic limestone and a mixed tree stand

“…The increase of genes encoding for TE-resistance in soil microorganisms in the OMDL soils was not expected. High TE concentrations are considered the main factors inducing the selection of resistance mechanisms within the microbial communities (Nies, 1999), and Cu impact on soil microorganisms in soils polluted by wood preservation activities has been reported (Turpeinen et al, 2004). In fact, all the measured microbiological endpoints showed that the OMDL incorporation into the Cu polluted soil significantly increased the microbial biomass and activity, as compared to the sole plants (Unt).…”
