Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Inhalability and Bioactivity of Spray‐Dried versus Pressurized Gas eXpanded Liquid Technology‐Processed Yeast Beta‐Glucan Microparticles for Anti‐Fibrotic Therapies

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
PGXTEC) liquid technology is utilized to develop highly respirable yeast beta‐glucan (YBG) microparticles for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis. Compared to conventionally processed spray‐dried YBG, PGXTEC‐YBG exhibits greatly improved aerodynamic properties, enhanced pro‐fibrotic macrophage uptake, and effective downregulation of pro‐fibrotic ...

Inhibition of Fungal Growth in the Cultural Isolation of Mycobacteria [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Microbiology, 1972
Antifungal antibiotics were compared to determine their usefulness in primary mycobacterial cultures. Amphotericin B was found to be more effective in preventing fungal growth from bovine fecal specimens than were cycloheximide, nystatin, and tetracycline.
