Bile Esculin Agar as a Screening Medium for Detecting β-Glucosidase Activity in Fungi Isolated from Fruit Waste Dump Sites

UMYU Journal of Microbiology Research
Fungi are widely recognized for their ability to produce β-glucosidase, an enzyme of significant industrial and biotechnological importance. However, conventional screening methods often rely on substrates that are difficult to access. Bile esculin agar,

β-Glucosidase of Penicillium funiculosum. II. Properties and mycelial binding

, 1985
The properties of two isozymes of β-glucosidase of Penicillium funiculosum (part I of this series) are described. The molecular weights of isozyme 1 was 2.3 × 105 by gel filtration and 1.2 × 105 by SDS gel electrophoresis, indicating two subunits.

Gymnema sylvestre: Bioactive constituents, health benefits, and emerging applications in nutraceuticals and functional foods

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R.Br. ex‐Schult., commonly known as “gurmar” or “sugar destroyer,” belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is traditionally used in Ayurveda for diabetes management. This review synthesizes ethnomedicinal evidence with contemporary pharmacological studies, to evaluate the therapeutic properties and mechanistic actions ...

Effects of Straw Incorporation and Tillage Depth on Soil Quality in Mollisol Profiles

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although improvements in soil quality under straw incorporation have been well documented, responses across soil profiles under different tillage depths remain unclear. To address this issue, a field experiment was established in 2011 in Mollisols with conventional tillage (20 cm depth) without straw (CT) and with straw (SCT), no tillage with ...

Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Optimized Fertilization Balances Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Use Efficiency: Evidence From Microbial Communities

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Optimized fertilization involving reduced mineral N input and organic substitution can alter resource stoichiometry, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). However, how fertilization‐induced resource imbalance reshapes microbial community to regulate CUE and NUE remains unclear. We conducted a field experiment

Biochar‐Induced Shifts in Resource Stoichiometry Shape Potential Nitrogen Limitation and Estimated Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency in Tropical Soils

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biochar is widely recognized as a promising amendment for enhancing soil carbon sequestration and microbial functioning, yet how biochar properties and application levels jointly influence potential microbial nutrient limitation and estimated microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) remains unclear, especially in tropical farmland soils.

Improving Soil Health and Crop Yields Through Conservation Agriculture and Nutrient Management in Central India

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Maintaining soil health and crop productivity in the semi‐arid Vertisols of central India poses a significant challenge under intensive agricultural practices. This 6‐year field study assessed the combined impact of different tillage methods, maize‐based crop rotations, and nitrogen management on soil's physical, chemical, and biological ...

Storage treatment and diluent cause inconsistencies in commonly used fluorometric microplate enzyme assays conducted with saltmarsh soils

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Fluorometric enzyme assays are a tool for determining potential enzyme activity in soils. A wide array of methodological approaches is adopted by different studies, making comparisons difficult. An important consideration is whether assay conditions replicate the environment of the samples or optimize potential enzyme activity.
