The combined effects of ultrasound and plasma-activated water on silkworm pupae:Physicochemical properties, microbiological diversity and ultrastructure.

A novel technique was proposed for processing silkworm pupae by combining plasma- activated water (PAW) with ultrasound (US). The microbial diversity and quality characteristics of the silkworm pupae were also evaluated. The results of the microbial diversity analysis indicated that PAW combined with US treatment significantly reduced the relative abundance of Streptococcaceae, Leuconostocaceae, and Acetobacteraceae from 32%, 18% and 16% to 27%, 11% and 11%, respectively.

Glyphosate exposure affected longevity-related pathways and reduced survival in asian honey bees (Apis cerana).

Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, GLY) ranks among the most extensively used and effective herbicides globally. However, excessive GLY utilization poses a substantial threat to the survival of honey bees (Apis cerana). Here we monitored the survival status of A.

Efficient degradation of imidacloprid by surface discharge cold plasma: Mechanism of interaction between ROS and molecular structure and evaluation of residual toxicity.

Incorrect use of neonicotinoid pesticides poses a serious threat to human and pollinator health, as these substances are commonly present in bee products and even drinking water. To combat this threat, the study developed a new method of degrading the pesticide imidacloprid using surface discharge cold plasma oxidation technology. The study showed that this method achieved a very high efficiency of imidacloprid degradation of 91.

Effects of hot-air drying temperature on drying characteristics and color deterioration of rape bee pollen.

The effects of different hot-air drying (HAD) temperature (40, 50, 60, and 70 °C) on the drying characteristics, color changes, the contents of α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (5-HMF) and carotenoids of rape bee pollen were investigated in the study. The results showed that increasing the drying temperature from 40 to 70 °C shortened the drying time by 65 %. HAD caused lower and values, as well as higher values.

Honeybee (Apis mellifera) resistance to deltamethrin exposure by Modulating the gut microbiota and improving immunity.

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are important economic insects and play important roles in pollination and maintenance of ecological balance. However, the use of pesticides has posed a substantial threat to bees in recent years, with the more widely used deltamethrin being the most harmful. In this study, we found that deltamethrin exposure significantly reduced bee survival in a dose-dependent manner (p = 0.

Proposal of subsp. Varsha and Nampoothiri 2016 as a later heterotypic synonym of Chen . 2014 and subsp. comb. nov.

Currently, contains two subspecies: subsp. and subsp. .

sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov. and sp. nov., isolated from traditional Chinese pickle and the gut of honeybee ().

Thirteen Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains were isolated from Chinese traditional pickle and the gut of honeybee (). These strains were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The data demonstrated that 12 of the 13 strains represented eight novel species belonging to the genera , , and ; strains HN36-1, 887-11, F79-211-2, 866-3, 6-5(1), 13B17, 117-1 and ZW152 were designated as the type strains.

Elevation of subsp. to the species level as sp. nov. and transfer of subsp. to as subsp. comb. nov.

Currently, contains four subspecies: subsp. , subsp. , subsp.

sp. nov., isolated from traditional Chinese yogurt.

Three Gram-stain-positive bacterial strains, designated X0750, X0278 and X0401, isolated from traditional yogurt in Tibet Autonomous Region, PR China, were characterized by a polyphasic approach, including sequence analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and three housekeeping genes (, and ), determination of average nucleotide identity (ANI) and average amino acid identity (AAI), DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH), fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis and phenotypic characterization. Strain X0750 was phylogenetically related to the type strains of , , , , , , and , having 94.4-100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, 76.
