Cryopreservation of Rhizobium Strains Associated with Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): Evaluation of Functional Stability and Nodulation Capacity.

Optimization of Droplet-Vitrification Protocol for the Endemic Endangered Species Amygdalus ledebouriana and Confirmation of Genetic Stability

Amygdalus ledebouriana (Schltdl.) Y.Y. Yao is a rare, endangered wild almond species native to Eastern Kazakhstan, listed in both Kazakhstan’s Red Book and the IUCN Red List, and valued as a source of drought- and frost-tolerance genes for stone fruit breeding. This study developed an efficient droplet-vitrification cr...

Engineering a thermostable recombinant Bacillus thuringiensis serovar tenebrionis expressing a date palm dehydrin gene for improved red palm weevil biocontrol

The efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis based biopesticides under field conditions is frequently compromised due to the thermal degradation of δ-endotoxins at elevated temperatures. Dehydrins (DHNs) are highly hydrophilic and intrinsically disordered proteins characterized by flexible structures and the ability to inter...

Protocol for the Long-Term Cryopreservation of Carotenoid-Producing Rhodotorula spp. Strains.

ISOLATION, MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION AND IMIDACLOPRID TOLERANCE OF HALOTOLERANT ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA ASSOCIATED WITH NATIVE HALOPHYTES OF THE LITTLE RANN OF KUTCH, GUJARAT, INDIA

In every one of the four treated cultures the peak that dominates the untreated control had gone, and peaks that were absent or minor in the control had appeared, which points to transformation of the parent compound.

Mechanisms of unique chaotropic resistance and biocalcification in a halophilic Virgibacillus isolated from ephemeral microbial mats of the calcium-rich Don Juan pond in Antarctica

Don Juan Pond (DJP), located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, is one of the most extreme cold aquatic environments on our planet and most similar to Mars due to its CaCl₂-rich brines, low water activity, exceptional chaotropicity, average annual subzero temperatures and intense solar radiation during the A...
