In this communication, the diversity and beneficial characteristics of endophytic bacteria have been studied in Simmondsia chinensis that has industrial importance because of the quality of its seed ...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a new technology, called optical tweezer-assisted ...

Schematic of the microfluidic chip. Single bacteria are trapped in the narrow linear channels, grown and observed over time. At any point, any bacterium of choice can be picked up by an optical trap ...

Isofraxidin, an important coumarin compound found in the medicinal plant Sarcandra glabra, is reported to have anti-inflammatory activity. However, its natural concentration is insufficient to meet ...

Lignin, a chief component of cell walls in plants, is naturally degraded in the soil. Identifying new microorganisms involved in this degradation can help develop novel lignin breakdown processes in ...

The field of infectious disease research is undergoing rapid transformation due to the continuous emergence of novel bacterial threats and the accelerating ...

Plasmid DNA isolation is an important technique in molecular biology, however, achieving effective high-throughput automation of this method has proven to be challenging. Analytik Jena and SynbiCITE ...

Numerous studies demonstrated that endophytic microbes can promote plant growth and increase plant stress resistance. We aimed at isolating poplar endophytes able to increase their hosts’ fitness both ...
