Article Synopsis
  • CuNi-ZrO nanocomposites were created using a simple technique that involved combining copper, nickel, and zirconium ions with potassium carbonate.
  • The nanocomposite showed remarkable effectiveness in converting levulinic acid into γ-valerolactone, achieving 100% conversion and over 99.9% selectivity under specific conditions.
  • The enhanced performance is linked to the improved properties of nickel oxide within the composite, making it a promising option for cost-effective liquid fuel production from biomass.

Zostera marina, a critical keystone marine angiosperm species in coastal seagrass meadows, possesses a photosensitive oxygen evolving complex (OEC). In harsh environments, the photoinactivation of the Z. marina OEC may lead to population declines.

Emerging evidence confirms beneficial properties of probiotics in promoting growth and immunity of farmed chicken. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the host-microbiome interactions mediated by probiotics are not fully understood. In this study, the internal mechanisms of Lacticaseibacillus chiayiensis-mediated host-microbiome interactions and to elucidate how it promotes host growth were investigated by additional supplementation with L.

The growing issue of antibiotic resistance has restrained the utilization of antibiotics as growth enhancers in the poultry industry. Probiotics are candidates for replacing antibiotics in the poultry industry. However, probiotics are strain-specific and their efficacy needs to be investigated before applying them.

, a foundation species of the angiosperm-dominated marine blue carbon ecosystems, has been recognized to be a vulnerable seagrass. Its degradation has previously been reported to be associated with environmental changes and human activities, while there has been a limited number of studies on its inherent characteristics. In this study, both the physiological and molecular biological data indicated that the oxygen-evolving complex (OEC) of is prone to photoinactivation, which exhibits the light-dependent trait.
