Effect of an indigenous AM and PGPR combination on chilli growth and productivity in lateritic soil

Biotecnología Vegetal, 2020
Infertile lateritic soil is particularly deficient in phosphorus (P) and Nitrogen (N). Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (AM) has a key role to uptake bound P from the soil and provide to the plants growing under P-poor conditions and improve water and nutrient ...

Minimal ATP‐Independent N2‐Reducing Systems Defined by L‐Cluster‐Bound Nitrogenase Assembly Platforms

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 24, 8 June 2026.
Association of the L‐cluster with the nitrogenase assembly proteins NifEN (NifENL) or NifB (NifBL) intrinsically endows these proteins with N2‐reducing activity, enabling in vitro N2‐reduction by NifENL and NifBL when supplied with chemical reductants or photoexcited quantum dots while supporting in vivo N2‐fixation in NifENL‐ and NifENL‐expressing ...

A Plasmonic Biohybrid With an Intracellular Biogenic S‐Scheme Nano‐Heterojunction Toward Wide‐Spectrum Solar‐To‐Chemical Conversion Beyond Nature

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bioinorganic hybrids show promise for solar‐to‐chemical conversion, yet are limited by poor light absorption and charge separation. A plasmonic biohybrid (CuS/CdS@yeast), featuring an intracellular S‐scheme heterojunction to achieve efficient electron‐hole separation, is fabricated via in‐situ mineralization for wide‐spectrum solar‐to‐chemical ...
