In order to tackle the issue of terramycin mycelial dreg (TMD) diagnosis and removal of terramycin and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), this study adopted aerobic composting (AC) technology and added homemade compound microbial inoculum (HCMI) to promote the AC of TMD and enhance the removal of terramycin and ARGs. The findings demonstrated that terramycin residue could be basically harmless after AC. Moreover, HCMI not only reduced QacB and tetH but also increased the degradation rates of VanRA, VanT, and dfrA24 by 40.81%, 5.65%, and 54.18%, respectively. The HCMI improved the removal rate of ARG subtypes to a certain extent. According to redundancy analysis, during AC, the succession of the microbial community had a stronger influence on the variance of ARG subtype than the environmental conditions. Differences in the abundance of various bacteria due to changes in temperature may be an intrinsic mechanism for the variation of ARG subtypes.

Stingless bee honey is a natural product consisting of sugars, organic acids, proteins, minerals, vitamins, phenolic compounds, and flavonoids. Due to its healing properties, honey is often used in phytotherapy and for homemade syrups. The search for natural therapeutic alternatives has been an increasing trend in recent years, mainly due to the side effects of artificial drugs and increasing antibiotic resistance.

Metal-containing compounds form a large and rapidly expanding group of high-energy materials. Many compounds in this class attract the attention of non-professionals, who may attempt the illegal production of explosives. Several of these substances have been commercially available and pose significant danger if used by terrorists or for criminal purposes.

In this study, we propose a strategy to explore the impact of the proportion of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) and 6-mercaptohexanol (MCH) on the efficiency of oligonucleotide functionalization on PDMS microfluidic channels equipped with pairs of homemade microfabricated platinum microelectrodes. We identified an optimal concentration of these compounds that enables the effective orientation and distribution of probes, thereby facilitating subsequent target hybridization. The experiment included optimizing sample injection into microfluidic channels.

KYS-164, isolated from homemade Tibetan kefir grains, produces bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS), which are peptides with antimicrobial properties, but have not been fully characterized. The research on BLIS will lay the foundation for mining new bacteriocins. In this study, the optimal culture conditions for the production of highly active BLIS were found to be incubation at 30 °C and 120 rpm, and the most effective extraction method was ammonium sulfate precipitation (ASP) using ammonium sulfate at 80% saturation.

A novel glow-type chemiluminescence (CL)-based nanosensing system was developed for sensitive and rapid point-of-care testing (POCT) of HO in food. CuSe nanoparticles (CuSe) have excellent peroxidase-like activity. After being modified with thiols of 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MBA) (CuSe@MBA), luminol can be catalyzed to produce long-lasting CL in the presence of HO.
