The choice of ionic-liquid-like monomers (ILM) for single-ion conducting polyelectrolytes (SICPs) is crucial for the performance of all-solid-state lithium batteries. In the current study, we propose a novel approach for development of SICPs via design and synthesis of a new ILM with long poly(ethylene oxide) spacer between methacrylic group and (trifluoromethane)sulfonylimide anion. Its homopolymer shows an ionic conductivity that is ∼5 orders of magnitude higher (9.

Species of are important ornamental plants used for horticultural purposes in various countries, across Asia, Europe, and North Africa. The present study is the first report on typical features of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of four local and endangered species including , and from Kazakhstan using Illumina sequencing technology. The comparative analyses revealed that the complete genomes of four species were highly conserved in terms of total genome size (152.

Endemic species are especially vulnerable to biodiversity loss caused by isolation or habitat specificity, small population size, and anthropogenic factors. Endemic species biodiversity analysis has a critically important global value for the development of conservation strategies. The rare onion is a narrow-lined endemic species, with natural populations located in the extreme climatic conditions of the Kazakh Altai.

Article Synopsis
  • Tularemia, caused by the bacteria Francisella tularensis, is a dangerous zoonotic infection, and the study aimed to analyze the strains present in Kazakhstan using advanced genetic techniques like whole genome sequencing (WGS) and MLVA.
  • The research involved genotyping 38 isolated strains from various sources, including water bodies and wildlife, categorizing them into two F. tularensis holarctica lineages (B.4 and B.12), and successfully developing a multiplex PCR assay to identify specific genetic markers.
  • The study found that strains with identical MLVA genotypes were consistent across different methods, and comparisons revealed that variations in genotypes existed over long timeframes and distances, suggesting that migratory birds may play

Analysis of the genetic diversity of natural populations of threatened and endangered species of plants is a main aspect of conservation strategy. The endangered species is a relict plant of the Ice Age and natural populations are located in extreme climatic conditions of Kazakstan's Altai Mountains. Mobile genetic elements and other interspersed repeats are basic components of a eukaryote genome, which can activate under stress conditions and indirectly promote the survival of an organism against environmental stresses.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates two anthrax outbreaks in western Kazakhstan from 2009 that occurred in the same location and timeframe near major roads, suggesting a potential single source of infection.
  • - Various genetic analyses, including MLVA and CanSNP, were conducted to differentiate between the strains involved in the outbreaks.
  • - Findings revealed that despite the close timing and location, the outbreaks were genetically distinct and not linked to the same source of infection.

The genus is a widely distributed major plant pathogen that can act as a saprophyte in plant debris. Fungi of this genus frequently infect cereal crops and cause such diseases as black point and wheat leaf blight, which decrease the yield and quality of cereal products. A total of 25 sp.
