Summary: The study showed that the antibacterial surface of insect wings has bactericidal activity, with surface roughness, nanostructure, and chemical organization playing a key role in preventing bacterial colonization and survival. By examining changes in bacteria morphology under a scanning electron microscope and confirming cell death through staining, the correlation between the nanostructure of the wing surface and bactericidal activity was established.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the promotion effect of defined co-culture of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the biodegradation of crude oil. The results showed that after 3 days of defined co-culture, the residual oil and saturated and aromatic fraction in the samples were significantly reduced, and the degradation efficiency of crude oil was improved from 32.61% and 54.35% in individual culture to 63.05%. Furthermore, the defined co-culture system exhibited relatively excellent performance in bacterial growth, cell surface hydrophobicity, and emulsification activity. These findings suggest that the combination of Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa can effectively promote the degradation and utilization of crude oil.

Summary: The study demonstrates that Bacillus strains and Penicillium chrysogenum can produce polyene antibiotics that effectively suppress the growth of plant pathogenic fungi, with a combined application showing high activity against S. sclerotiorum. The mechanism of antifungal activity may be based on blocking the biosynthesis of ergosterol, providing a potential alternative to reduce fungicide use in agriculture and promote ecological balance in the soil.

Summary: This study shows that a compound produced by Bacillus subtilis plays a complex role in modulating iron availability and providing protection against oxidative stress during inter-species competition. This compound binds to iron and restricts its availability rather than promoting iron acquisition. It also reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and oxidative stress, and Bacillus subtilis utilizes its known siderophore to retrieve iron from the compound.

Summary: This study introduced an environmental approach to protect steels from corrosion in a multi-species bacterial environment via synergistic biomineralization. The mixed bacteria generated a more compact and protective film compared to single bacteria. Different bacterial groups exhibited different synergistic mechanisms, such as increasing pH, secreting carbonic anhydrase, and inhibiting corrosive bacteria through growth advantage.

Summary: Research has shown that dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis in tilapia can reduce the colonization and growth of spoilage bacteria Pseudomonas spp., decrease total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) production, and improve the flavor of fish. The study also found that treatment with B. subtilis could inhibit the growth of various bacteria and reduce the production of aromatic spoilage compounds associated with these bacteria. This suggests that B. subtilis has great potential as a microecological preservative for fish.

Summary: Two independent studies have investigated the efficiency of rice husk biochar (BC) and three fungal species (F1, F2, F3) in improving the growth and physiology of Zea mays L. plants grown on soil contaminated with Cu and Ni. The results showed that F2 species had the highest Cu and Ni removal efficiency. The combined application of BC and F2 showed the maximum efficiency in combatting Cu and Ni stress in spring corn.

Summary: This study investigated the bacterial endophytic diversity of Andrographis paniculata using culture-based and culture-independent high-throughput sequencing methods. The results revealed a high diversity of endophytic bacteria, with Bacillus being the most prevalent in the root and Pseudomonas dominating in the shoot tissues. Furthermore, isolated bacterial endophytes from different parts of the plant confirmed the dominance of Bacillus and Pseudomonas genera, and one specific strain, Micrococcus luteus (ASd6), significantly enhanced plant growth and andrographolide content.

Summary: The accumulation of arsenic in medicinal herbs can have detrimental effects on plant metabolism and consumer health. In this study, two endophytic bacterial strains (CIMAP-A4 and BAC-7) were found to ameliorate arsenic-induced phototoxicity in Bacopa monnieri. The strain CIMAP-A4 showed higher effectiveness in improving tolerance index, arsenate reductase activity, plant nutrient uptake, and non-protein thiol synthesis under arsenic stress. The production of indole acetic acid and biofilm formation potential in CIMAP-A4 may contribute to its higher ameliorating effect.

Summary: This study investigated the use of ice glazing containing D-sodium erythorbate (DSE) and vacuum packaging to maintain the quality of large yellow croaker during frozen storage. The results showed that vacuum packaging effectively inhibited ice crystal growth and minimized water loss, while the combination of vacuum packaging and 0.3% DSE-infused ice glazing maintained freshness indicators at low levels throughout the 300-day storage period. This combination was considered the most effective in preserving the quality of the fish.

Summary: This study investigated the transport and hypoglycemic effects of phenolics in mulberry leaves using an in vitro digestion model. The results showed that digested phenolics had higher absorbability and could inhibit glucose digestion and absorption. Phenolics also regulated glucose metabolism. Luteoforol and p-coumaric acid were found to be the primary phenolics strongly correlated with the hypoglycemic ability of mulberry leaves.
