Evaluation of the possibility of Spirulina Spirulina platensis culture in the deep aquifer well, Seistan, Southeastern Iran by Abdolali Rahdari, Ali Khosravanizadeh, Sahel Pakzad Toochaei, Roghayeh Karami

“…At the end of the test period, the growth indicators and pigment concentration of the produced algae were measured, and by comparing the data obtained in different treatments, the ability of deep aquifer well water to grow Spirulina algae was determined.Results and discussion: The results showed that the highest biomass was obtained in the treatment of tap water and Urmia salt (2.91 ± 0.14 g/L) and the growth rate in the treatments containing deep aquifer water was lower than the other treatments.Conclusions: The cultivation of Spirulina in the water of deep well (No. 1 Seistan) has a low efficiency compared to tap water, and it is necessary to modify and change its composition in some way so that Spirulina can be cultivated in with proper efficiency. …”

Role of outer membrane vesicles of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from bovine uterine discharge in pro-inflammatory dysregulation by A. F. Daham, A. H. Jaber, A. Neamah, H. Al-Karagoly

“…Notably, incubating THP-1 cells with high con-centrations of hvKP OMVs inhibited IL-1β and TNF responses, indicating that these OMVs may not only facilitate the internalisation of the bacterium by THP-1 cells but also suppress the cells’ innate immune response to hvKP infection. This ability of hvKP OMVs to evade the immune system and modulate host responses contributes significantly to the bacterium’s pathogenicity.…”
