Recent advances in portable devices for environmental monitoring applications.

Environmental pollution remains a major societal problem, leading to serious impacts on living organisms including humans. Human activities such as civilization, urbanization, and industrialization are major causes of pollution. Imposing stricter rules helps control environmental pollutant levels, creating a need for reliable pollutant monitoring in air, water, and soil.

Expression of genes involved in exopolysaccharide synthesis in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum VAL6 under environmental stresses.

Environmental factors can alter exopolysaccharide biosynthesis in lactic acid bacteria (LAB). To further clarify this potential relationship, the mRNA expression of genes involved in exopolysaccharide synthesis such as glmU, pgmB1, cps4E, cps4F, cps4J, and cps4H in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum VAL6 under different conditions including temperature, pH, sodium chloride (NaCl), and carbon dioxide (CO) intensification culture was studied. The transcriptomic data revealed that the exposure of L.

Network analysis and functional estimation of the microbiome reveal the effects of cashew nut shell liquid feeding on methanogen behaviour in the rumen.

The effects of cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) feeding on the methane (CH ) emission and the ruminal microbiome of Lai Sind beef cattle were investigated. Changes in the methane production and rumen microbiome by CNSL feeding were monitored by a respiration chamber and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing respectively. The results demonstrated that CNSL feeding mitigated 20.
