Nano-CeO2 activates physical and chemical defenses of garlic (Allium sativum L.) for reducing antibiotic resistance genes in plant endosphere

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
The transmission of manure- and wastewater-borne antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) to plants contributes to the proliferation of antimicrobial resistance in agriculture, necessitating effective strategies for preventing the spread of antibiotic ...

Arctic marine fungi: biomass, functional genes, and putative ecological roles [PDF]

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2019
Abstract Recent molecular evidence suggests a global distribution of marine fungi; however, the ecological relevance and corresponding biological contributions of fungi to marine ecosystems remains largely unknown. We assessed fungal biomass from the open Arctic Ocean by applying novel biomass conversion factors from cultured isolates to

Photosynthesis under far‐red light—evolutionary adaptations and bioengineering of light‐harvesting complexes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phototrophs evolved light‐harvesting systems adapted for efficient photon capture in habitats enriched in far‐red radiation. A subset of eukaryotic pigment‐binding proteins can absorb far‐red photons via low‐energy chlorophyll states known as red forms.

Plant clonal morphologies and spatial patterns as self-organized responses to resource-limited environments

open access: yes, 2014
We propose here to interpret and model peculiar plant morphologies (cushions, tussocks) observed in the Andean altiplano as localized structures. Such structures resulting in a patchy, aperiodic aspect of the vegetation cover are hypothesized to self ...

The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim

The application of biomass ashes for improvement of sewage sludge dewatering

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2017
In compliance with the requirements of the EU climate and energy package (3 × 20 %), the biomass consumption in energetic industry is systematically growing. As a consequence, a large amount of ashes is produced which requires the management in line with

Production of antibacterial compounds by a Steely hybrid polyketide synthase in Dictyostelium

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
By selecting appropriate production species under optimised culture conditions, new chlorinated dibenzofuran compounds, which previously could not be analysed in sufficient quantities, were identified from cellular slime mould fruiting bodies. The strong antibacterial activity exhibited by these compounds suggests a link to the ecological function of ...

Is Young's Modulus a Critical Coating Property Determining Fouling‐Release Performance of Marine Coatings?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The release of foulers from protective marine coatings is determined by several interrelated material properties, including the strength of Young's modulus, the flexibility of chain segments, the surface free energy, and the magnitude of hydrodynamic stress.

Metagenomic analysis revealed the bioremediation mechanism of lead and cadmium contamination by modified biochar synergized with Bacillus cereus PSB-2 in phosphate mining wasteland

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionPhosphate mining wasteland is contaminated with heavy metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd), which pose significant environmental risks.

Assessment of water quality and pollution load in Logung reservoir, Indonesia [PDF]

open access: yesBIO Web of Conferences
The Logung Reservoir in Central Java Province is one of 18 new reservoirs developed to support the National Food and Water Security Program. Despite fully operating recently, its water quality is potentially degraded due to existing human activities ...
