Preservation of rhizobia by lyophilization with trehalose [PDF]
The objective of this study was to determine if trehalose can effectively enhance the viability and storage lifetime of Rhizobium tropici and Rhizobium etli after lyophilization as compared to the traditional protective combination of sucrose and peptone.

Thermodynamic Analysis of the Graphite Flake Formation of Low Manganese and Sulfur Gray Cast Iron [PDF]
Low manganese and sulfur gray irons were produced by adding inoculant base Fe-Si with small amounts of Al and Ca in the ladle. The effect of the cast thickness, inoculant amount and shakeout time of the green sand molds were studied on the graphite flake

Deep-sequencing of the Peach Latent Mosaic Viroid Reveals New Aspects of Population Heterogeneity [PDF]
Viroids are small circular single-stranded infectious RNAs that are characterized by a relatively high mutation level. Knowledge of their sequence heterogeneity remains largely elusive, and, as yet, no strategy attempting to address this question from a population dynamics point of view is in place.
