Long-term continuous monoculture cropping of tobacco leads to high incidence of tobacco bacterial wilt (TBW) caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, which threatening world tobacco production and causing great economy loss. In this study, a safe and effective way to control TBW by microbial degradation of phenolic allelochemicals (PAs) was explored. Eleven kinds of PAs were identified from continuous tobacco cropping soil. These PAs exhibited various effects on the growth, chemotaxis and biofilm formation of R. solanacearum. Then we isolated eight strains of Bacillus, one strain of Brucella, one strain of Enterobacter and one strain of Stenotrophomonas capable of degrading these PAs. The results of degradation assay showed that these isolated strains could degrade PAs both in culture solutions and soil. Besides, the incidence of TBW caused by R. solanacearum and deteriorated by PAs were significantly decreased by treating with these degrading strains. Furthermore, six out of eleven isolated strains were combined to degrade all the identified PAs and ultimately sharply reduced the incidence of TBW by 61.44% in pot experiment. In addition, the combined degrading bacteria could promote the plant growth and defense response. This study will provide a promising strategy for TBW control in tobacco production.

Introduction: China implemented a dynamic zero-COVID strategy to curb viral transmission in response to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This strategy was designed to inhibit mutation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus responsible for COVID-19. This study explores the dynamics of viral evolution under stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) through real-world observations.

This study explores the effectiveness of various antifungal drugs in treating sporotrichosis caused by Sporothrix schenckii, especially in non-wild-type (non-WT) strains. The drugs tested include enilconazole (ENIL), isavuconazole (ISA), posaconazole (POS), terbinafine (TER), and itraconazole (ITC). The study involved in vitro and in vivo tests on 10 WT isolates and eight ITC non-WT isolates.

9-kDa Granulysin is a protein present in the granules of human activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. It has been shown to exert cytolytic activity against a wide variety of microbes: bacteria, fungi, yeast and protozoa. Recombinant isolated granulysin is also capable of inducing tumor cell death, so it could be used as an anti-tumor therapy.

Frog virus 3-like ranaviruses (FV3-like viruses), particularly FV3 (Frog virus 3), represent typical species within the genus Ranavirus, primarily infecting amphibians and reptiles, thereby posing serious threats to aquaculture and biodiversity conservation. We designed a pair of universal primers and a probe targeting the conserved region of the major capsid protein (MCP) genes of FV3-like viruses. By integrating recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) technology and real-time fluorescence (RF) modification, we established RAA-LFD and RF-RAA assays.
