Tapping the rhizosphere metabolites for the prebiotic control of soil-borne bacterial wilt disease

Nature Communications, 2023
Prebiotics are compounds that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial microorganisms. The use of prebiotics is a well-established strategy for managing human gut health.

Nutrient recycling from bio-digestion waste as green fertilizers [PDF]

, 2012
In the transition from a fossil to a bio-based economy, it has become an important challenge to maximally recuperate valuable nutrients coming from waste streams. Nutrient resources are rapidly depleting, significant amounts of fossil energy are used for

Meta-analysis reveals ammonia-oxidizing bacteria respond more strongly to nitrogen addition than ammonia-oxidizing archaea [PDF]

, 2016
Shifts in microbial communities driven by anthropogenic nitrogen (N) addition have broad-scale ecological consequences. However, responses of microbial groups to exogenous N supply vary considerably across studies, hindering efforts to predict community ...

Biosynthetic gene cluster profiling predicts the positive association between antagonism and phylogeny in Bacillus

Nature Communications, 2022
Interference competition exemplified by antagonism remains controversial. Using comparative genomic analysis and antagonistic assessments, this study shows that the distribution profile of biosynthetic gene clusters within Bacillus genomes is consistent ...

Agriculture Fertilizer Distributer

, 2017
The art of growing plants for food is agriculture. Nutrients available in the soil determines the efficiency of growth of plants. These nutrients can be artificially increased by he usage of fertilizers. A machine that helps to feed plants with fertilizers will be a great source to increase the rate of agriculture. Our machine is designed to meet these

A Testis‐Specific Aralkylamine N‐Acetyltransferase Regulates Dimorphic Sperm Function and Male Fertility in Moths

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We identify a Lepidoptera‐conserved testis‐specific arylalkylamine N‐acetyltransferase (LTNAT) that governs male moth fertility via a novel mechanism. LTNAT loss disrupts eupyrene sperm mitochondrial derivatives and impairs apyrene sperm motility, offering a safe molecular target for innovative pesticides and genetic pest control.

Safety and Effectiveness of Struvite from Black Water and Urine as a Phosphorus Fertilizer [PDF]

, 2011
To ensure food supply, phosphorus must be recycled, for which an appealing method is using struvite fertilizer from human excreta. One struvite from black water and another from urine were assessed for safety under Dutch regulations, and for ...
