Antibacterial Siderophores of Pandoraea Pathogens and Their Impact on the Diseased Lung Microbiota

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Genome mining of environmental and pathogenic Pandoraea species identified a conserved NRPS gene cluster and led to the discovery of novel siderophores, pandorabactins, which exert their antibacterial activity by depleting iron from competitors. Bioinformatic analysis of sputum from cystic fibrosis patients coupled with bioassays indicates that ...

Do Sustainable Agricultural Practices Boost Production and Technical Efficiency? A Case Study of Coffee Smallholders in Peru

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder agriculture remains a cornerstone for economic development and poverty reduction in Latin America. Their transition to sustainable agricultural production is critical in the face of the environmental challenges posed by conventional farming practices and is a key pathway to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development ...

Sequence Control in Sulphur‐Containing Ring‐Opening Co‐ and Terpolymerisations

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Sulphur‐containing polymers offer unique avenues for degradability, recyclability and optical performance—but their synthesis is often plagued by side reactions. This minireview outlines recent strategies to control or harness O/S scrambling in ring‐opening co‐ and terpolymerisations, enabling precise sequence control.

12. Biological control of livestock pests: entomopathogens [PDF]

, 2018
Interest in biological methods for livestock and poultry pest management is largely motivated by the development of resistance to most of the available synthetic pesticides by the major pests. There also has been a marked increase in organic systems, and those that promote animal welfare by reducing animal densities and allowing greater freedom of ...

Assessing Agricultural Green Total Factor Productivity in Latin America

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agricultural sector in Latin America plays a vital role in ensuring food security while impacting the environment. However, there remains a lack of analysis regarding the inputs responsible for pollution within its sub‐technologies. Hence, this article aims to assess agricultural green total factor productivity (TFP) through a novel ...

Xanthopinacol Boronate: A Robust, Photochemically Assembled and Cleavable Boronic Ester for Orthogonal Chemistry

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Xanthopinacol (xpin) boronates are a conceptually new class of masked boronic acids designed to alleviate many of the disadvantages of pinacol esters and other popular adducts. They can be formed directly from xanthone and UV light, undergo orthogonal transformations, and are cleavable under photoredox catalysis or oxidative conditions that recycle ...

Transcriptome analysis highlights the influence of temperature on hydrolase and traps in nematode-trapping fungi

Frontiers in Microbiology
Pine wilt disease caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus poses a serious threat to the economic and ecological value of forestry. Nematode trapping fungi trap and kill nematodes using specialized trapping devices, which are highly efficient and non-toxic ...

A Keystone Ant Species Provides Robust Biological Control of the Coffee Berry Borer Under Varying Pest Densities

PLoS ONE, 2015
Species’ functional traits are an important part of the ecological complexity that determines the provisioning of ecosystem services. In biological pest control, predator response to pest density variation is a dynamic trait that impacts the provision of

Traceability of Agri‐Food Products: The Key to Conscious Trade

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Globalization and growing concerns about sustainability have led to improvements in product traceability, quality, and sustainability. Traceability contributes to environmental protection and supports sustainable development by fostering transparency in agricultural practices and encouraging the responsible use of resources.
