Effects of the structure of plasmids carrying the cloned delta-endotoxin gene (tox) ot Bacillus thuringiensis and of the culture media on the expression of the gene have been studied. The DNA region located upstream from the crystal protein gene promoter inhibited the expression of the tox gene in Escherichia coli cells, but enhanced the expression in Bacillus megaterium cells grown in LB medium. The upstream DNA region did not affect the tox gene expression when Bacillus megaterium cells were grown in SSM medium.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for rice growth, and the presence of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is an effective means to increase soil P content. However, the direct application of PSB may have minimal significance due to their low survival in soil. Biochar serves as a carrier that enhances microbial survival, and its porous structure and surface characteristics ensure the adsorption of .

As a food packaging sliding agent, erucamide is widely used in the field of food packaging, but the traditional synthesis method of erucamide faces the problems of insufficient raw materials and low yield of colza oil. Our laboratory has found that L2 has the potential to produce erucamide. This study aims to improve the ability of L2 to produce erucamide by adding various accelerants to optimize the fermentation conditions.

This work describes the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial properties of four bile acid-triclosan conjugates. The in vitro antibacterial activity of synthetic bile acid-triclosan conjugates was investigated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Conjugates and show high activity against (ATCC25922), with IC values of 2.

The optical, morphological, and surface properties of these fungus-fabricated AgFe-BMNPs and their monometallic counterparts (AgNPs and FeNPs) were analyzed using sophisticated nanotechnology instruments. The UV-visible spectrum showed peaks at 231 nm and 415 nm for BMNPs and 450 nm and 386 nm for AgNPs and FeNPs, respectively.
