Differing preferences of Antarctic soil nematodes for microbial prey [PDF]
, 2004 We tested the preferences of three nematode taxa, Geomonhystera villosa, Plectus spp. and Teratocephalus spp., extracted from moss at Signy Island in the Maritime Antarctic, for two microalgae, three microfungi and six heterotrophic bacteria, each also ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Filamentous microorganisms exhibit complex morphologies that influence product formation and are affected by various bioprocess parameters. Consistent morphology is therefore essential for comparable results during scale‐up. This study investigates the scale‐up of Streptomyces species (Streptomyces spp.) cultivations from shake flasks to ...

Analysis &Sensing, EarlyView.The graphical abstract shows an eco‐friendly approach to fabricating a biodegradable electrochemical sensor. Carbon quantum dot/nickel oxide (CQD/NiO) nanocomposites are synthesized using Aloe arborescens leaf extract, which served as a natural reducing and stabilizing agent.

Impact of shortened crop rotation of oilseed rape on soil and rhizosphere microbial diversity in relation to yield decline [PDF]
, 2013 Oilseed rape (OSR) grown in monoculture shows a decline in yield relative to virgin OSR of up to 25%, but the mechanisms responsible are unknown. A long term field experiment of OSR grown in a range of rotations with wheat was used to determine whether ...
