Microorganisms can respond fast to the environmental changes, and well suited for environmental assessment. DNA and RNA are generally extracted by extraction kits. After extraction, molecular biological methods including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics are applied to characterize the genetic and functional diversity of microorganisms. Quantitative PCR, FISH and mass sequence of amplicons are also described. This review provides environmental engineers and microbiologists an overview of important advancements in molecular techniques and highlights the application of these methods in diverse environments.

“…The biological indicator system contains a population of spores of a non-pathogenic microorganism, appropriate for a given type of sterilization, with the highest resistance to the action of a particular sterilizing agent. Microorganisms are most often placed on paper strips and stainless-steel discs [ 14 , 15 ].…”

In addition to looking for effective drugs and a vaccine, which are necessary to save and protect human health, it is also important to limit, or at least to slow, the spread of coronavirus. One important element in this action is the use of individual protective devices such as filtering facepiece masks. Currently, masks that use a mechanical filter, such as a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, are often used. In some countries that do not have a well-developed healthcare system or in exceptional situations, there is a real and pressing need to restore filters for reuse. This article presents technical details for a very simple device for sterilization, including of HEPA polymer filters. The results of biological and microscopic tests confirming the effectiveness of the sterilization performed in the device are presented. The compact and portable design of the device also allows its use to disinfect other small surfaces, for example a small fragment of a floor, table, or bed.
