It was found that 96.2 per cent of the plague microbe cultures studied had a capacity to produce pesticin I on solid and liquid minimum synthetic nutrient media providing growth of the cultures. No pesticin III was detected in the spheroplasts of plague microbes, when they were grown on the synthetic nutrient medium, while on the complete nutrient medium the inhibition zones were observed which was indicative of pesticin III synthesis. The average value characterizing the titer of pesticin I produced by the rod-shaped forms of the plague microbe on the complete and synthetic nutrient media was 320. An increase in the titer of the spheroplast pesticin was shown, while the pesticin titer of the rod-shaped forms was low (1 : 20--1 : 320). As a result the average titer of the spheroplast pesticin was higher than that of pesticin of the rod-like forms. On the complete nutrient medium it was 1280 and on the synthetic medium it was 640.

The prevalence of antibiotics in wastewater poses risks to human and animal health, contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Although various antibiotic removal methods exist, microalgae-based technology presents a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative; however, limited research on its long-term integration in semi-continuous wastewater treatment trials hinders our understanding of its potential effectiveness. This investigation explored the antibiotic removal capabilities of the microalga Auxenochlorella protothecoides in photobioreactors with synthetic wastewater under semi-continuous conditions over one month.

There is a growing need for sustainable, efficient methods to promote plant growth and protect crops, with plant extracts offering natural, multi-component solutions. Based on previous observations, , , and were selected from 17 water extracts to investigate how the application times of soil sprays affect the antioxidant enzymes and secondary metabolites in fruity and leafy vegetables at different growth stages. From 1 week after sowing (WAS) to 4 WAS, all applications increased the shoot fresh weight by 42-69% in cucumbers, 40-64% in tomatoes, 46-65% in kale and 42-63% in lettuce.

Synthetic microbial community (SynCom) application is efficient in promoting crop yield and soil health. However, few studies have been conducted to enhance pepper growth via modulating rhizosphere microbial communities by SynCom application. This study aimed to investigate how SynCom inoculation at the seedling stage impacts pepper growth by modulating the rhizosphere microbiome using high-throughput sequencing technology.

Gut peptides, including glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), regulate metabolic homeostasis and have emerged as the basis for multiple state-of-the-art diabetes and obesity therapies. We previously showed that G protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) is expressed in intestinal enteroendocrine cells (EECs) and modulates nutrient-induced GLP-1 secretion. However, the GPR17-mediated molecular signaling pathways in EECs have yet to be fully deciphered.
