Summary: This study conducted a risk assessment on Vibrio parahaemolyticus infections after consumption of roasted shrimp in Cameroon. The results showed a relatively low risk of infection for roasted shrimp, but good hygiene practices during handling, cooking, and storage can help reduce the actual risk.

Summary: Membrane-aerated bacterial-algal biofilm reactor (MABAR) is an emerging technology that offers cost-effective and efficient removal of pollutants through versatile removal pathways in symbiotic bacterial-algal biofilm. This study investigated the feasibility of enhancing algae proliferation in MABAR using natural lighting. The results showed that natural sunlight facilitated algae growth and improved pollutants removal performance. Furthermore, the study identified microbial shifts in response to natural lighting and the role of specific bacterial and algal phylotypes in the removal process.

Summary: Using four strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from oysters, the growth characteristics of V. parahaemolyticus in Blacklip Rock Oysters (BROs) post-harvest were determined by measuring the level of V. parahaemolyticus at various time points and temperatures. The results showed that there was no growth at 4°C, slow growth at 13°C, and significant growth at 18°C and 25°C. The data obtained will help regulators and the Australian oyster industry develop guidelines for the safe storage and transport of BROs.

Summary: The study showed that enhancing tomato plant growth can be achieved by introducing probiotic bacterial consortia containing multiple Pseudomonas strains, with the effectiveness depending on the richness of strains. The beneficial effects of microbial introductions are mainly driven indirectly through changes in the diversity and composition of the resident plant rhizosphere microbiome.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of COD/N ratios on the performance of a novel MB-MPBR system for removing COD and nutrients TN and TP. The results show that COD removal efficiency is independent of the COD/N ratio, while TN and TP removal efficiency increases with higher COD/N ratios. Overall, the MB-MPBR technology has the potential to achieve simultaneous COD and nutrient reduction.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of probiotic supplementation on the growth performance, plasma characteristics, and ruminal bacterial community of growth-retarded lambs. The results showed that dietary supplementation with probiotic can improve the growth performance of growth-retarded lambs by enhancing immunity and altering the ruminal microbiota. Therefore, probiotic supplementation is a promising strategy for improving the growth performance of growth-retarded lambs.

Summary: The production of sexual cells and auxospores in diatoms is influenced by specific members of the diatom microbiome, with Flavobacteriaceae (Polaribacter and Cellulophaga) showing more significant enhancement. Additionally, the composition of the diatom microbiome is positively correlated with the distribution of the diatom in nature.

Summary: Biofilm infections have a high mortality risk, and antibiotics are not effective against them. Synthetic nano-engineered antimicrobial polymers (SNAPs) were studied for their interactions with antibiotics. The results showed that certain SNAPs demonstrated synergistic antibiofilm activity when combined with specific antibiotics in different models. This suggests that the use of SNAPs in combination with antibiotics has the potential to improve treatment outcomes for biofilm infections.

Summary: The use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as a sustainable alternative or addition to chemical phosphate fertilizers is crucial due to the ecological impact of the latter. Previous research has successfully implemented a plant-based enrichment technique for PSB, and this current study further validates the results by screening and evaluating individual isolates. The research emphasizes the importance of plant-based selection for highly efficient and diverse PSB.

Summary: Using phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as inoculants can alleviate plant phosphorus deficiency. However, the selection of suitable bacteria is often based on their in vitro solubilizing traits, resulting in poor field performance. In this study, we screened 250 isolates and found that bacterial consortia with multiple in vitro solubilizing traits and the ability to mitigate plant P-stress showed better performance in planta under P-deprived conditions. Moreover, promising bacteria in vitro did not always have a positive effect in planta, while lack of performance in vitro did not necessarily mean lack of performance in planta. These findings highlight the effectiveness of the in planta-based enrichment and selection technique for highly efficient rhizosphere competent PSB.

Summary: This study proposes a feasible method to establish an electrically benign back surface field in Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells by in-situ doping Mo(S,Se)2 with group VB elements (TM = V, Nb, Ta). The doping converts Mo(S,Se)2 from weak n-type to p-type conductivity, increases its work function and hole concentration, and enables accelerated hole extraction and minimized interface recombination loss. With this method, the efficiency of Mo(S, Se)2:Ta device is increased from 10.82% to 12.72%.

Summary: The Malaysian mahseer is a large riverine cyprinid species indigenous to Southeast Asia, popular for food, ornamental, and recreational fishing. However, their wild populations are now facing ecological threats due to overexploitation, habitat degradation, and water pollution. Successful hatchery production and high market value have made Malaysian mahseer a potential aquaculture species.

Summary: The study evaluates hybridizations between two African catfish, C. gariepinus and C. macromystax, using artificial reproduction. Fecundity and gonadosomatic index were assessed, and growth performance at different developmental stages was evaluated. The results showed that both species possess similar gonadosomatic indices. C. gariepinus had higher male reproductive quality, while C. macromystax had higher fecundity. The hybrid cross of C. macromystax x C. gariepinus showed the best growth performance, indicating the potential for improving C. macromystax production in captivity.
