Bacteria as Ovipositional Attractants for \u3ci\u3eAedes Aegypti\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
, 2017 The effectiveness of selected bacterial species as ovipositional attractants for Aedes aegypti was compared. Bacterial washes, in glass containers, were utilized as ovipositional substrates and subsequent egg counts determined the degree of ovipositional

Multicyclic D‐Stereospecific Hydrolase Dimer With High Sustained Activity
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Protein macrocyclization was applied to a thermally unstable D‐stereospecific hydrolase using in situ cyclization of proteins (INCYPRO). This site‐specific cross‐linking approach enhanced the resistance of the enzyme to heat and cosolvents.
