Cells of Bacillus megaterium immobilized due to incorporation into polyacrylamide gel retained their viability. They differed significantly in their enzymic activity from free cells: 20alpha- and 20beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activites were substantially decreased and they also showed the capacity to synthesize significant quantities of a new derivative and to destruct steroids. Immobolized protein fractions maintained 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 20beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities but their specific activites were lower than those of native protein fractions. It is suggested that the synthesis of new compounds was induced by acrylamide that was bound during polymerization.

Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for rice growth, and the presence of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) is an effective means to increase soil P content. However, the direct application of PSB may have minimal significance due to their low survival in soil. Biochar serves as a carrier that enhances microbial survival, and its porous structure and surface characteristics ensure the adsorption of .

As a food packaging sliding agent, erucamide is widely used in the field of food packaging, but the traditional synthesis method of erucamide faces the problems of insufficient raw materials and low yield of colza oil. Our laboratory has found that L2 has the potential to produce erucamide. This study aims to improve the ability of L2 to produce erucamide by adding various accelerants to optimize the fermentation conditions.

This work describes the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial properties of four bile acid-triclosan conjugates. The in vitro antibacterial activity of synthetic bile acid-triclosan conjugates was investigated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Conjugates and show high activity against (ATCC25922), with IC values of 2.

The optical, morphological, and surface properties of these fungus-fabricated AgFe-BMNPs and their monometallic counterparts (AgNPs and FeNPs) were analyzed using sophisticated nanotechnology instruments. The UV-visible spectrum showed peaks at 231 nm and 415 nm for BMNPs and 450 nm and 386 nm for AgNPs and FeNPs, respectively.
