In the study, three Bacillus cereus-specific phages, named DK1, DK2 and DK3, belonging to the family Podoviridae, were isolated from Pearl River water and sludge in Guangzhou, China. The genomes of DK1, DK2 and DK3 were 27,180 bp, 26,357 bp, and 26,865 bp in length and contained 49, 45 and 46 open reading frames, respectively. Among the three phages, DK2 shared the highest genome sequence similarity (96% identity) with DK3. Genes encoding rRNA, tRNA, virulence factors and antibiotic resistance were absent in these phage genomes. In addition, comparative genomic and phylogenetic analysis revealed that they were novel phages of B. cereus. Each genome encoded a putative endolysin that might be of value for the control of the foodborne pathogen B. cereus.

The fertilizing effects of biodigestate produced from biogas plants on crop and soil productivity are very scarce. Hence, a field study was conducted in 2022 at the Teaching and Research Farm of Bowen University, Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria. The study evaluated the effects of biodigestate fertilizer, applied alone or in combination with urea, single superphosphate, or muriate of potash fertilizers at low (N, K, and P) and high (N, P, and K) rates on soil chemical properties, growth, and yield of maize ( (L.

With increasing awareness on environmental protection and food safety, the development of biodegradable antimicrobial packaging materials has been paid growing emphasis. In this work, starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/ε-polylysine hydrochloride films were prepared by extrusion blowing, and five commercial organically modified nanomontmorillonites (OMMT, including DK1, DK2, DK3, DK4, and DK5) were used as reinforcing agents. Intercalated structures were formed in the nanocomposite films, especially for those with DK3 and DK4 owing to their higher hydrophobicity and larger interlayer spacing.

The photo-induced generation of unstable molecules generally requires stringent conditions to prevent oxidation and the concomitant decomposition of the products. The visible-light-induced conversion of two heptacene precursors to heptacene was studied. Single crystals of bis- and mono-α-diketone-type heptacene precursors (7-DK2 and 7-DK1, respectively), were prepared to investigate the effect of precursor structure on reactivity.

The world-to-chip interface is an essential yet intriguing part of making and employing microfluidic devices. A user-friendly connector could be expensive or difficult to make. We fabricated two ports of microfluidic chips with easily available materials including Teflon blocks, double adhesive films, coverslips, and transparency films.
