The influence of different factors on the biosynthesis of extracellular proteolytic complexes by strains-producers Bacillus circulans 693, Bacillus sp. 27 and Yarrowia lipolytica 2061 at submerged cultivation has been investigated. It has been shown that ammonium hydrocarbonate and gelatin with glucose were optimum carbon and nitrogen sources for synthesis of proteolytic activity of B. circulans strain 693, gelatin with arabinose--for Bacillus sp. 27, gelatin and glycine with sorbose--for Y. lipolytica 2061. It has been established that the cultivation of producers on optimal sources of carbon and nitrogen increased protease activity of cultural liquid of B. circulans 693 3.8 times, Bacillus sp. 27--2.7 times, Y. lipolytica 2061--3.4 times. It has been found that the usage of different protein substrates in cultural medium permitted to obtain the proteolytic enzymes with various specificity with respect to globular and fibrillar proteins.

Nitrogen fertilizer application is an important method for the production of high-quality maize. However, nitrogen fertilizer addition patterns vary according to regional climate, field management practices, and soil conditions. In this study, a meta-analysis was used to quantify the yield effects of nitrogen addition on maize, and meta-regression analysis and a random forest model were used to study the main factors affecting the yield effects of nitrogen addition on maize.

Achieving sustainable development in livestock agriculture by balancing livestock production, reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and effective utilization of nitrogen nutrient has indeed been challenging. This study investigated the long-term effects of continuous cattle grazing, stocking rates, and fertilization regimens on methane (CH) emissions, soil microbial communities, and soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in Bermudagrass pastures in East Texas, USA. Pastures were subjected to high or low stocking rates for over 50 years, with further subdivision based on fertilization: nitrogen-based fertilizer application or no fertilizer but with the growth of annual clover.

Rechargeable Zn-air batteries (RZABs) are poised for industrial application, yet they require low-cost, high-performance catalysts that efficiently facilitate both the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The pivotal challenge lies in designing multimetal active sites and optimizing the carbon skeleton structure to modulate catalyst activity. In this study, we introduce a novel hierarchical porous carbon-supported FeCoNi bifunctional catalyst, synthesized via a spray combustion method.

Grasslands cover approximately a third of the Earth's land surface and account for about a third of terrestrial carbon storage. Yet, we lack strong predictive models of grassland plant biomass, the primary source of carbon in grasslands. This lack of predictive ability may arise from the assumption of linear relationships between plant biomass and the environment and an underestimation of interactions of environmental variables.

Foliar traits can reflect fitness responses to environmental changes, such as changes in nutrient availability. Species may respond differently to these changes due to differences in traits and their plasticity. Traits and community composition together can influence forest nutrient cycling.
