The influence of various conditions of freezing in liquid nitrogen on the motility, virulence, antigens, and immunogenicity of Treponema pallidum was studied. The suspending medium, rate of freezing, kind and concentration of cryprotector, and duration of preincubation with cryoprotector were found to be critical. On the basis of the results obtained the optimal conditions of freezing of T. pallidum in liquid nitrogen were established. These are: the Nelson-Diesendruck medium with the addition of 10% DMSO; freezing rate 1 degree per min, and thawing rate between 12.6 degrees and 120 degrees per min.

DNA extraction is crucial for conducting procedures, such as whole-genome sequencing, which demand methods that are reproducible and cost-effective. Lysing Staphylococcus aureus cells is particularly challenging due to their peptidoglycan layer that is resistant to common treatments. Traditional methods involve costly enzymatic lysis using lysostaphin.

Extrusion-based printing of macroscopic architectures layer-by-layer offers new opportunities for constructing customized electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. However, current research primarily focuses on improving the printability of material inks by increasing contents and adding various modifiers, controllable construction of ultralight and robust macro-architectures with structural design at both macro- and micro-scales is still challenging. Herein, we develop a graphene oxide foaming ink enriched with air bubbles for direct-ink writing, enabling the creation of macroscopic graphene architectures with arbitrary geometries.

The rumen microbiota plays a vital role in the nutrient metabolism affecting the growth of velvet antler. However, the fermentation patterns and dynamics of the rumen microbiota across growth stages of velvet antler remain largely unexplored. Here, we employed an fermentation approach to assess fermentation parameters and microbial composition in the rumen liquid of sika deer during the early growth (EG), metaphase growth (MG), and fast growth (FG) phases .

Ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources (PGR) plays a crucial role in sustainable growth and development, as highlighted by the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC). Seed genebanks, a key component of ex situ conservation, have been instrumental in preserving plant diversity. However, challenges arise with the conservation of non-orthodox (recalcitrant and intermediate) seeds and vegetative tissues, which are not amenable to storage in traditional genebanks at temperatures of -20°C.
