Quality Change of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Pericarps of 'Chachi') During Storage and Its Sex-Based In Vitro Digestive Performance.

Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP), particularly including the pericarp of 'Chachi' (GCP), has been widely used as a food, a dietary supplement, and traditional Chinese medicine. Despite the widespread use of traditional foods, there is limited evidence regarding the precise relationships between storage conditions, aging duration, and the digestive performance of CRP. In this study, the aim was to investigate the impact of the storage conditions on the quality of aged GCP during shelf life and to evaluate the subsequent digestive performance of corresponding GCP decoctions.

The effect of circular soil biosolarization treatment on the physiology, metabolomics, and microbiome of tomato plants under certain abiotic stresses.

Soil biosolarization (SBS) is an alternative technique for soil pest control to standard techniques such as soil fumigation and soil solarization (SS). By using both solar heating and fermentation of organic amendments, faster and more effective control of soilborne pathogens can be achieved. A circular economy may be created by using the residues of a given crop as organic amendments to biosolarize fields that produce that crop, which is termed circular soil biosolarization (CSBS).

On the quest for novel bio-degradable plastics for agricultural field mulching.

Plasticulture, the practice of using plastic materials in agricultural applications, consumes about 6.7 million tons of plastics every year, which is about 2% of the overall global annual plastics production. For different reasons, plastic material used for agriculture is difficult to recycle.

Versatile lifestyles of : Free-living, pathogen, and core bacterium of the aquatic resistome.

species in aquatic environments exist either as individual planktonic cells or in communal biofilms. These organisms encounter multiple stresses, include changes in salinity, pH, temperature, and nutrients. Pathogenic species such as , can multiply within the fish hosts.

and Multidrug Resistance Genes Are Key Players in Resistome Development in a Germfree Soil Model.

Assembly of a resistome in parallel with the establishment of a microbial community is not well understood. Germfree models can reveal microbiota interactions and shed light on bacterial colonization and resistance development under antibiotic pressure. In this study, we exposed germfree soil (GS), GS with diluted nontreated soil (DS), and nontreated soil (NS) to various concentrations of tetracycline (TET) in a nongermfree environment for 10 weeks, followed by 2 weeks of exposure to water.
