A Simple Culture Method Enhances the Recovery of Culturable Actinobacteria From Coastal Sediments
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Molecular methods revealed that the majority of microbes in natural environments remains uncultivated. To fully understand the physiological and metabolic characteristics of microbes, however, culturing is still critical for microbial studies.

Factors influencing the nematode community during composting and nematode-based criteria for compost maturity [PDF]
, 2018 Pilot studies indicate that shifts in the nematode species composition, life strategies and feeding behavior during composting appear to be fairly consistent and, therefore, promising as a potential tool to assess compost maturity. However, this has been

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The bioactive substances we extracted from Lycium barbarum residue (LBR) have a typical polysaccharide structure. When 1.80% LBR was used to replace maize in the diet, the average daily gain of rossbred Simmental was significantly increased, and anti‐inflammatory ability was improved. In addition, LBR improved the fecal microbial composition, increased
