Induction and Enhancement of Bacteriocin Production (Review)
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Conventionally, bacteriocins are produced by microorganisms on complex substrates, released as semi‐purified preparations or crude fermentates. These bacteriocin‐containing products often exhibit unsatisfactory purity, low active‐substance content, and high production costs, limiting their commercialization and use. This review aims to analyze

The effect of non-chemical weed control on soil biological properties in a spring oilseed rape crop [PDF]
Zemdirbyste-Agriculture, 2017 and in 2015 – in plots where thermal weed control was applied, also in plots where smothering was used (2.8 times). The activity of saccharase significantly 1.8 times increased in 2015 in smothering plots. Soil enzymes activity depended on the soil agrochemical properties.
