Spatial characteristics of soil enzyme activity and bacterial diversity in Chinese egret habitat

Microbiology Spectrum
The egret activities, including the deposition of feces and feathers, significantly alter soil properties and the local ecosystem. Two villages of Hainan Province serve as “the haven of egret,” a crucial habitat along the migratory route of egrets in ...

Responses of soil bacterial communities and maize yields to sulfur application across four soil types

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThis study assessed the effects of S application on maize yields and soil bacterial communities across four sites with different soil types and three S application rates (0 kg ha-1, 30 kg ha-1, and 90 kg ha-1).MethodsChanges in soil ...

Biomanufacturing of L‐Lactic Acid from Inulin Exploiting Kluyveromyces marxianus and Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cell Factories

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to sustainable lactic acid (LA) biomanufacturing necessitates a shift from first‐generation feedstocks toward residual biomass and low‐pH fermentation, eliminating the costly, waste‐intensive salt purification and acidification steps. This study presents a novel, two‐yeast strategy designed to valorize inulin, a fructose polymer

Biochar‐based fertilizers improve nutrient use efficiency in sunflower grown on a subtropical tidal soil

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Improving fertilizer use efficiency is essential for reducing environmental pollution, sustaining agricultural production, and maximizing the economic profitability of crop production systems. This study tested the hypothesis that the formulation strategy of biochar‐based fertilizers, rather than nutrient addition alone, is associated with ...

Acidogenic fermentation of pretreated food waste under psychrophilic conditions for volatile fatty acids production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed‐culture fermentation generally produces volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as a mixture of C2–C6 acids. Among operational parameters, temperature has a distinct effect on the microorganisms' metabolic activity, which can shift the composition of the metabolites.

Bioeconomy, sustainability, and digital technologies in Haematococcus lacustris biomass and astaxanthin production: advances and outlook

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant properties, used in research on cancer treatment, ocular injuries, and neurological disorders. When produced by the microalgae Haematococcus lacustris, its antioxidant potential is even higher than that of the synthetic molecule, making it particularly attractive for pharmaceutical and ...

Biogas production from Opuntia stricta Haw.: microbial diversity and solid load influence on sludge recycle systems

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Microbial diversity in contaminated soil [PDF]

, 2002
Little is known about soil population dynamics: how microbial communities are affected by environmental stress; whether they respond adversely, or adjust to it; what the extent and duration of these adjustments might be; which genera of bacteria are ...

More‐than‐gender? Moving beyond gendered expectations of divergent learners in early childhood education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we explore how neurodivergent ways of being in early education are often gendered. The intersectionalities of gender and neurodivergence often lead to fixed expectations that perpetuate binary interpretations, pathologisations, missed diagnoses and a lack of curated support.

Morphological and biochemical characterization of bacterial isolates from diverse soil habitats in the Amhara region, Ethiopia

Open Life Sciences
Soil harbors diverse microbial communities that play essential roles in ecosystem functioning; however, many microbial populations remain unexplored. In this study, bacterial isolates obtained from 11 selected soil sampling sites in the Amhara region of ...
