A systematic search strategy was implemented, targeting papers published in scientific journals accessible through the Web of Science® (WoS) database spanning from January 1990 to April 2022. The search terms \"Pisum sativum,\" \"inoculation,\" and \"strain\" were used. The differences between the pea grain yields from plants inoculated with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms and those from noninoculated plants (control) were analyzed using thirteen field-scale studies. Overall, pea inoculation/coinoculation promoted a greater grain yield (3118 ±210 kg ha-1) than noninoculation (2338± 127 kg ha-1), showing the importance of biological nitrogen fixation for legume crop production. In the pursuit of reducing pea production costs, emphasis has been placed on inoculation, highlighting the importance of comprehending the symbiotic relationship between peas and Rhizobium. Furthermore, this research aimed to explore the interaction between Rhizobium and selected microorganisms known to enhance plant growth to identify optimal combinations to boost pea productivity.","PeriodicalId":8951,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141823961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The optimal conditions for protein extraction with a yield rate of 9.03% were 40°C extraction temperature, pH 8.0, a solid–liquid ratio of 1:25 (g/mL), and extraction time of 65 minutes. Single-factor and orthogonal tests on the extraction rate of burdock proteins under different conditions found that the extraction rate of protein from burdock roots were influenced by pH, extraction temperature, solid–liquid ratio, and extraction time, in this order. The solubility and gelation properties of burdock protein were similar to those of soybean protein; however, burdock protein demonstrated 1.2 times the oil absorption capacity and half the water retention capacity of soybean protein. Analysis of the amino acid contents of burdock protein revealed that burdock root contains significant essential and non-essential amino acids, with valine content being the highest.","PeriodicalId":8951,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141828295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, volunteer personal trainers and gym members were screened to detect whether they were carriers of MRSA. Samples were collected from six fitness centers on sports equipment. MRSA carrier status was investigated for personal trainers (n=10) and gym members (n=100). The study used culture-dependent techniques and used SPSS 20 software for statistical analysis. There was no statistically significant difference between fungal growth on the sports equipment, and Aspergillus spp. were predominant. However, one of the fitness centers had a statistically significant difference in fungal growth compared to the others (p<0.005). There was no significant difference in the bacterial load among the sports equipment, but there was a significant difference among the fitness centers (p<0.009). Among all tested individuals, only 2.7% (3/110) were MRSA-positive, all of whom were gym members. No MRSA was detected on any of the equipment. Despite the increasing incidence of community-acquired MRSA infections, the fitness centers in this study did not appear to be significant sources of staphylococcal or fungal infections. However, the detection of MRSA carriers among gym members suggests that the spread of MRSA between individuals in gyms is still possible.","PeriodicalId":8951,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141828271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its role in liver cancer and its potential mechanism have rarely been defined. Therefore, in this study, Hepa 1-6 liver cancer cells were incubated with different DDA concentrations (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 mM) for 24, 48 and 72h, and the optimal DDA concentration was determined via a cell viability test. Apoptosis and cell cycle distribution were determined by flow cytometry. SOD activity, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), ATP, GSH and ROS levels were measured by commercial assay kits; Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3 protein levels were analyzed by western blot. The results showed that 0.5 mM DDA decreased cell viability in a time-dependent manner, so this concentration was used to investigate how DDA leads to Hepa 1-6 cell apoptosis. After treatment with DDA, a significant, time-dependent increase in the cell apoptotic rate was detected despite the accumulation of S-phase cells. The increased ROS levels and decreased GSH levels and SOD activity in DDA-treated cells indicated the occurrence of oxidative stress. Mitochondrial dysfunction was evidenced by a decreased MMP and reduced ATP levels. Cell apoptotic death via the mitochondrial pathway was indicated by a reduced Bcl-2/Bax ratio and increased caspase-3 protein levels. It can be concluded that DDA can effectively trigger liver cancer cell death by inducing oxidative stress and disrupting mitochondrial function. These findings provide new insight into the potential mechanism of action of DDA in liver cancer.","PeriodicalId":8951,"journal":{"name":"Bioscience Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141829645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The experimental design was a randomized block design in a 2x4 factorial scheme with four replications. The treatments were composed of the combination of two phosphorus doses, 50% (45 kg ha-1 of P2O5) and 100% (90 kg ha-1 of P2O5) of the recommended dose with four uses of multifunctional microorganisms: 1. BRM 32111 (Burkholderia sp.), 2. BRM 32114 (Serratia marcescens), 3. co-inoculation (BRM 32111 + BRM 32114), and 4. control (no application of microorganisms). The microorganisms provided significant increases in the 100-grain weight and grain yield of soybeans, dry matter and nutrient accumulation of rice and maize, reduction of phytopathogenic fungus propagules, and increased accumulation of nutrients and activity of the enzymes Betaglicosidase and Arilsulfatase in the soil. Applying 50% phosphorus reduced the 100-grain weight and grain yield of soybean, dry matter and nutrient accumulation of rice, propagules of Trichoderma spp., and the nutrients in the soil.

However, it is extremely important to study the mutagenic/genotoxic effects, cytotoxic effects and antimicrobial properties of bikaverin for application of industrial areas. In the study, the mutagenic, cytotoxic and antimicrobial effects of bikaverin were investigated. The mutagenic effect of bikaverin was studied with the Ames test. Salmonella typhimurium TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535 strains were used in the test. Five different doses of bikaverin (0.075, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 μg/plate) were tested against strains. It was determined that there was no mutagenic effect of bikaverin. The cytotoxicity of bikaverin was evaluated by MTT test on L929 fibroblast cell line.
