Soil Type and Associated Microbiome Influence Chitin's Growth Promotion Effect in Lettuce

Phytobiomes Journal
Chitin amendment of peat substrate has been proven effective in promoting lettuce growth and increasing phenolic compounds in lettuce seedlings. However, the effect of chitin soil amendment on lettuce growth in mineral soil remains unexplored. The effect

Affinity of rhizobacterial chitinases towards chitin polymers from shrimp exoskeleton and fungal cell wall: Optimization for effective biocontrol potentials

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Bacteria that can hydrolyze shrimp shell chitin and fungal cell wall chitin were isolated from tomato rhizosphere soil in an effort to find chitin-degrading enzymes. Extracellular nature of chitinase was confirmed in agarose-chitin.

Circularly Polarized Structural Color Pigments Tunable Across the Full Visible Spectrum

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
By infusing black dye into spherical shells of polymerized cholesteric liquid crystal, blue, green and red omnidirectional retroreflectors of circularly polarized structural color are achieved. They can be laid out on arbitrary surfaces without any need for index matching binder to define graphical information for robots and Augmented Reality devices ...
