Response of microbial community in the soil of halophyte after contamination with tetrabromobisphenol A.

Coastal wetlands are subjected to increasing tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) pollution, whereas knowledge of TBBPA degradation in marine environments is lacking. The changes of bacterial communities in TBBPA-polluted soil covered with halophytes were investigated. TBBPA could be degraded in the halophyte-covered saline-alkali soil in a microcosm experiment.

Comparative study on the structures of intra- and extra-cellular polysaccharides from Penicillium oxalicum and their inhibitory effects on galectins.

Here, we compare the content and composition of polysaccharides derived from the mycelium (40.4 kDa intracellular polysaccharide, IPS) and culture (27.2 kDa extracellular polysaccharide, EPS) of Penicillium oxalicum.

Comprehensive Evaluation on Soil Properties and Growth under Combined Application of Fly Ash and Polyacrylamide in North China.

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the combined application effects of fly ash (FA) (0, 5%, 10%, and 15% (/) soil) and polyacrylamide (PAM) (0, 0.006% and 0.012% (/) soil) on the edge of Hobq Desert in Inner Mongolia, China from May 2016 to October 2018.

A stable and efficient Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation of the medicinal plant Digitalis purpurea L.

In this study, we developed a rapid and efficient method for in vitro propagation and Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Digitalis purpurea L. (syn. foxglove), an important medicinal plant.
