Grazing enhances belowground carbon allocation, microbial biomass, and soil carbon in a subtropical grassland

Global Change Biology, 2018
Abstract Despite the large contribution of rangeland and pasture to global soil organic carbon ( SOC ) stocks, there is considerable uncertainty about the impact of large herbivore grazing on SOC , especially for understudied ...

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Plant and soil microbe responses to light, warming and nitrogen addition in a temperate forest [PDF]

, 2018
1. Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the 1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition and climate warming. Denser tree canopies result in lower

Seasonal variations in soil characteristics control microbial respiration and carbon use under tree plantations in the middle gangetic region

Heliyon
Seasonal variations directly impact the biochemical and microbial properties of the soil, influence carbon and nutrient cycling within the soil system. Soils under tree plantation (TP) are rich in organic matter and microbial population, making them more

Sustainable Power Production in a Membrane-less and Mediator-less Wastewater Microbial Fuel Cell [PDF]

, 2009
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) fed with wastewater are currently considered a feasible strategy for production of renewable electricity at low cost. A membrane-less MFC with biological cathode was built from a compact wastewater treatment reactor.

Artificial Symbiosis for Bulk Production of Bacterial Cellulose Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Co‐cultivation of the cellulose‐producing bacterium with the microalga enables bulk formation of bacterial cellulose under static incubation, with photosynthetically active oxygen‐generating sites throughout the medium. This symbiotic platform supports 3D cellulosic constructs with geometries dictated by the vessel shape.
