Biochemical characterisation and production kinetics of high molecular-weight (HMW) putative antibacterial proteins of insect pathogenic Brevibacillus laterosporus isolates

BMC Microbiology
Background Bacterial genomes often encode structures similar to phage capsids (encapsulins) and phage tails which can be induced spontaneously or using genotoxic compounds such as mitomycin C.

Toxicity of essential oils from Nordic plants against different pathogenic organisms and pests of cultivated plants

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 1, Page 160-169, January 2026.
Plant essential oils (EOs) represent a potentially effective, safe, and eco‐friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides that cause negative effects for human health and the environment. The present study evaluated in airtight glass chambers the toxicity of vapours produced by EOs obtained from sweet gale, balsam poplar, Labrador tea, jack pine, and ...

Microscopic mechanism of protein cryopreservation in an aqueous solution with trehalose [PDF]

, 2013
In order to investigate the cryoprotective mechanism of trehalose on proteins, we use molecular dynamics computer simulations to study the microscopic dynamics of water upon cooling in an aqueous solution of lysozyme and trehalose.

Effects of Habitat Fragmentation on Alien Plant Invasion in Native Shrublands

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Habitat fragmentation is one of the main reasons for high rates of alien plants in natural areas. This study investigated the influence of multiple factors (grazing, fragment size, and habitat structure) on alien plant invasion of kānuka shrublands.

Le « printemps silencieux » des monuments, les milieux scientifiques de la restauration et la biosphère

Les Cahiers de Framespa, 2022
The monument suffers from the absence of a natural environment. Today, restored sites do not support a biosphere or reappropriation by the living. In the course of research linked to restoration, techniques and solutions provided by private and public ...

Self‐Aggregation‐Induced Polymerization for Constructing Multifunctional Dynamic Zwitterionic Hydrogels

Aggregate, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study presents a self‐aggregation‐induced polymerization mechanism that enables the spontaneous formation of multifunctional zwitterionic hydrogels under mild aqueous conditions, which exhibit rapid spontaneous gelation, controlled depolymerization, robust mechanical properties, high water content, exceptional antioxidant capacity, and superior ...
