Butachlor is a widely utilized acetamide herbicide noted for its systemic selectivity against pre-emergence grass weeds. Butachlor has negative effects on organisms and the environment, so it is necessary to screen degradation strains. In this investigation, strain DC-1 was isolated from soil persistently exposed to butachlor.

The flowing-water remediation of contaminated soil was investigated. Urease combined with biochar (UCB) technology was used to handle the Pb-contaminated sand column. The results showed that with the continuous increase of pore volume, the concentration of Pb in the leachate undergoes three stages: slow growth, rapid growth, and steady state.

Urease-producing bacteria are highly relevant in medicine due to their role in various pathogenic processes and their impact on human health, causing serious medical conditions such as peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer, and respiratory and urinary tract infections. In this work, we designed fluorescent polymeric particles (PNP_FITC) to enable the detection of urease-producing bacteria by targeting the enzymatic activity of urease. In particular, the PNP_FITC matrix is degraded by urease, leading to a measurable increase in the intensity of the fluorescent signal.

Introduction: The Longan fruit tree of the Vietnam Mekong Delta is grown in raised beds to improve water drainage during the rainy season and can live as long as 100 years.
Objective: This research explores the extent to which the soil microorganisms as well as soil physical and chemical properties of these raised beds degrade over a period of 60 years under traditional management practices.
Materials And Methods: Raised bed topsoil samples at depths of 0-20 cm were obtained from four different Longan orchards raised bed age groups: group 1) 15-25 years (L1-L5); group 2) 26-37 years (L6-L10); group 3) 38-45 years (L11-L15); and group 4) 46-60 years.

Background: In a small state like Tripura, a surge in prevalence of superficial dermatophytosis has been observed from April to September among the population of both tribal and non-tribal groups having different lifestyle, different food habit, and different socioeconomic status. Studies from different region reveal varying pattern of etiological distribution of the disease. But till date no research study has been initiated in Tripura on clinicomycological profile of dermatophytosis.
