The effect of trait choice on hybrid species distribution model projections under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) have been increasingly combined with thermal performance data to enhance their transferability and to provide a physiological explanation for the predicted geographic patterns. Yet, while it is widely acknowledged that thermal sensitivities may vary among biological traits, it remains largely unexplored to what extent

SpoIVA is an essential morphogenetic protein for the formation of heat- and lysozyme-resistant spores in Clostridium sporogenes NBRC 14293

Frontiers in Microbiology
Clostridium sporogenes is an anaerobic spore-forming bacterium genetically related to Clostridium botulinum but lacks toxin genes. The sporulation mechanism and spore structures of anaerobic bacteria, including C.

Waste to Hydrogen: Transforming Food Waste Into Biohythane (Bio‐H2 + Bio‐CH4) in a Two‐Stage Reactor With the Aid of a Metal‐Ion Catalyst

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a two‐stage catalytic bioreactor system that converts real food waste into high‐purity biohydrogen and biohythane. In Stage‐1, an enriched Clostridium thermocellum culture combined with Ni2+─Fe2+ bimetallic catalysis enhances hydrolysis efficiency and hydrogenase activity, resulting in a 77% increase in H2 yield and 75.8% purity

Cytotoxicity of 19 Pesticides in Rainbow Trout Gill, Liver, and Intestinal Cell Lines

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rainbow trout gill cell line (RTgill‐W1), via test guideline 249 of the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development, has been established as a promising New Approach Methodology, although to advance confidence in the method more case studies are needed that: 1) expand our understanding of applicability domains (chemicals with ...

Bacillus subtilis Spore Resistance to Simulated Mars Surface Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
In a Mars exploration scenario, knowing if and how highly resistant Bacillus subtilis spores would survive on the Martian surface is crucial to design planetary protection measures and avoid false positives in life-detection experiments.

The transcription factor Spores Absent A is a PKA dependent inducer of Dictyostelium sporulation [PDF]

, 2018
Sporulation in Dictyostelium fruiting bodies evolved from amoebozoan encystation with both being induced by cAMP acting on PKA, but with downstream components still being unknown. Using tagged mutagenesis to find missing pathway components, we identified

Edible Antifungal Coatings Based on Litchi Chinensis Seed Starch Enriched With Pericarp Procyanidins for the Postharvest Preservation of Strawberries

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Lychee starch coatings enriched with procyanidins showed strong antifungal activity and effectively preserved strawberry quality postharvest, reducing weight loss, decay, and senescence. This highlights their potential as a sustainable natural alternative for shelf‐life extension and fungal control in fresh produce.

Bioremediation of lead using spore surface displayed proteins [PDF]

, 2017
Lead is a toxic pollutant very harmful to human health since it accumulates in the body and affects the brain, liver, kidney, and bones. Fetuses can be exposed to lead during pregnancy, which can cause problems with learning later on in the baby’s life ...

Effect of Acacia nilotica Gum on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Sterilised Flavoured Milk

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acacia nilotica gum fortification improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sterilised flavoured milk. A. nilotica gum significantly increased the dietary fibre content of sterilised flavoured milk (1.9 g per 100 g). ABSTRACT Flavoured milks are widely preferred by people of all age groups globally. There is also a significant rise in
