MICROORGANISMS VS. SYNTHETIC POLYMERS. ECOLOGY AND BIODEGRADATION

open access: yes, 2012
Despite synthetic polymers have been considered little or no deteriorable for many years, now we know they can undergo to chemical, physical and biological damage. Effects of biological degradation on polymers include masking of surface properties due to the presence of microorganisms inhabiting surfaces, embrittlement and loss of stability due to ...

The putative β-glucosidase BGL3I regulates cellulase induction in Trichoderma reesei

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei (anamorph of Hypocrea jecorina) displays increased cellulase expression while growing on inducers such as lactose or cellulose. However, the mechanism of cellulase induction in T.

Chemical ecology of Chrysopidae: prospects for synthetic attractants

open access: yes, 2019
Acquisition or exchange of information by means of chemical substances is a very ancestral form of interaction between an individual and its environment. Several organisms use chemical stimuli for orientation to food sources, partners or to avoid potential hazards.

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.
