Submerged culture of Tricholoma matsutake mycelium was carried out using two bubble column fermentors, a standard bubble column and an external-loop airlift column. The effects of the aeration rate and column type on culture performance in terms of the mycelia morphology, glucose consumption, cell yield, and growth rate were investigated. Morphologically, three types of pellets-large spherical, small spherical and filamentous-were observed depending on the aeration rate. On the whole, the standard bubble column gave a higher cell yield and a better growth rate than the airlift type. The maximum cell yield and growth rate attained at a superficial air velocity of 0.38 cm/s were superior to those obtained in a flask culture, suggesting that the bubble column fermentor has the potential to be used for submerged culture of T. matsutake.

Presentation and Analysis of the Online Evidence Gap Map, "Clinical Effectiveness of Homeopathy".
Homeopathy

Brazilian Academic Consortium for Integrative Health-CABSIN, São Paulo, Brazil.
Introduction And Objective: This study presents and analyzes the content of an online Evidence Gap Map (EGM), "", which graphically represents evidence from systematic reviews (SRs) of human clinical trials in homeopathy that were published from 1991 to 2021. The EGM was built according to the guidelines of the International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie), adapted for complex interventions, to represent visually relevant evidence and research gaps.
Presentation Of Evidence Gap Map Content: The interventions, classified as rows, are characterized in the EGM not only by the homeopathic therapeutic strategy but also by individual medicines and potencies.
Biomechanical drivers of the evolution of butterflies and moths with a coilable proboscis.

Current biomechanical models suggest that butterflies and moths use their proboscis as a drinking straw pulling nectar as a continuous liquid column. Our analyses revealed an alternative mode for fluid uptake: drinking bubble trains that help defeat drag. We combined X-ray phase-contrast imaging, optical video microscopy, micro-computed tomography, phylogenetic models of evolution and fluid mechanics models of bubble-train formation to understand the biomechanics of butterfly and moth feeding.

Molten metal catalysts for methane pyrolysis and dry reforming are becoming recognized for their potential in decarbonization efforts. Their use in bubble column reactors facilitates continuous operation by allowing the produced carbon to float to the surface for removal. While most reported molten metals produce low-value amorphous carbon or graphitic sheets containing some metals, our study introduces a Cu-In alloy that selectively produces high-purity carbon nanofibers.

This study aimed to explore the combined effects of micro-nano bubble water drip irrigation and different phosphorus (P) application rates (P0: 0 kg·hm; P1: 86 kg·hm; P2: 172 kg·hm; P3: 258 kg·hm) on maize growth, soil phosphorus dynamics, and phosphorus use efficiency to optimize irrigation and P fertilizer use efficiency. Through a field column experiment, the impact of micro-nano bubble water drip irrigation on maize plant height, stem diameter, leaf SPAD values, biomass, and yield was evaluated. The results showed that (1) irrigation methods significantly affected maize growth indicators such as plant height, stem diameter, and root dry weight.

Bubble coalescence plays a critical role in optimizing biological and industrial processes, impacting efficiency in areas such as fermentation, wastewater treatment, and foaming control. While the relationship between chemical structure and bubble coalescence has been thoroughly explored for inorganic ions, limited data exist on organic ions and surfactants, despite their widespread use in these industries. This study addresses this gap by investigating the effects of surfactant hydrophobicity and bubble size on coalescence behavior at a flat air-liquid interface and within a bubble column.
