Scale‐up of Streptomyces species cultivations based on the morphological response to the energy dissipation rate

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 ...

Restoring soil quality and root morphology of peanut under simulated topsoil erosion: effects of fertilization strategies in a controlled study

Scientific Reports
Soil erosion and deposition are critical processes affecting soil quality and crop productivity, particularly in hilly agricultural regions. Topsoil removal reduces soil fertility and degrades root development, threatening sustainable crop production ...

Experiments with soil morphological characteristics as a didactic resource for soil teaching

, 2020
Soil is a finite natural resource that provides important ecosystem services for societies, such as food production and water purification. Formed by minerals, organic matter, water and air. It is fundamental for the maintenance of terrestrial ecosystems. Due to its importance, soil education should provide a theoretical and practical basis that allows

An Attention‐Assisted Machine Learning System for Deep Microorganism Image Classification

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An attention‐assisted DenseNet201 framework was developed for the classification of eight microorganism classes from microscopic images. The proposed model improved classification performance and achieved an accuracy of 87.38%. Advances in microbiology and environmental health fundamentally depend on precise and timely microorganism identification ...

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.
