This review discusses bacteriophages' roles in soil ecosystems, highlighting their impact on nutrient cycling, plant health, and soil remediation, as well as animal‐mediated phage dispersal mechanisms. Overall, while bacteriophages have potential biotechnological applications, their negative effects on microbial functions and nutrient cycling highlight

This review highlights how plasma‐enhanced atomic layer deposition enables atomic‐scale control of interfacial composition, defects, and energetics. By linking plasma–surface interactions to macroscopic performance, PE‐ALD provides a versatile platform for engineering functional interfaces in photocatalytic, membrane, and energy‐conversion systems ...

Consuming prenatal supplements, farmed chicken/eggs, and vegetables during pregnancy and the first 3 years of life showed protective relation with ASD compared with healthy controls. Consuming farmed fish and fruits during the same period, alongside maternal substance/drug misuse during pregnancy linked to increased ASD odds.

A sequential system using magnesium‐impregnated rice husk biochar was evaluated through techno‐economic and life‐cycle assessment. The biochar first removes nitrate and phosphate from water and is then reused as a soil amendment, though high magnesium chloride costs constrain feasibility, highlighting the need for process optimization for large‐scale ...

Abstract Provision of safely managed drinking water is a key pillar in achieving public health. Particularly in regions where water quality data may be limited, participatory science approaches offer the potential to bridge data gaps with allied benefits such as community engagement and knowledge exchange.

ABSTRACT It is clear that many of the inorganic materials of antiquity have been used both as medicines for human ills and also as agents in technological processes. This paper speculates that there might have been a stronger link between these two functions in the past, based on the concept of “active agents”—materials that are efficacious at curing ...

Summary Plant root‐associated anoxic microsites may influence the fate of nutrients and contaminants in the rhizosphere, but their dynamics remain relatively unknown. To examine the formation of root‐induced anoxic microsites over space and time, we use microfluidic devices integrated with transparent, planar oxygen sensors in a wheat (Triticum ...

ABSTRACT This research examines the spatial and geochemical interactions between mat‐forming microorganisms and thalassinid shrimp in an intertidal flat situated on the shores of Willapa Bay, Washington, USA. The study serves as a contemporary analog for the relationships between mats and burrowing organisms in deep time.

Abstract The food enzyme thermolysin (EC 3.4.24.27) is produced with the non‐genetically modified Anoxybacillus caldiproteolyticus strain DP‐Fzj32 by Danisco US Inc. The food enzyme was considered free from viable cells of the production organism. It is intended to be used in three food manufacturing processes.
