Abstract:
... In order to better understand the function of a putative GH8 xylanase gene in the xylan-degrading bacterium Paenibacillus physcomitrellae XB, a novel reducing-end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanase (Rex) PphRex8A of GH8 family was characterized. Phylogenetic analysis showed that it was clustered tightly with other published GH8 Rexs and exhibited the highest amino acid sequence identity (77.4%) wi ...

Abstract:
... The distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) in subsoil is much more heterogeneous than in topsoils. This is largely caused by more localized inputs of fresh substrates and nutrients that mainly derive from rhizodeposition creating hotspots of microbial activity. To elucidate the role of rhizosphere soil as an important input path for substrates into deeper soil layers, we investigated difference ...

Abstract:
... • KEY MESSAGE : Litter trap is considered the most effective method to quantify seed production, but it is expensive and time-consuming. Counting fallen seeds using a quadrat placed on the ground yields comparable estimates to the litter traps. Ground quadrat estimates derived from either visual counting in the field or image counting from quadrat photographs are comparable, with the latter being ...

Abstract:
... Demand for honeydew honey (HDH) is growing, both from consumers and the food industry, due to its potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, information on the chemical profile of HDH remains scant, particularly on New Zealand honeydew honey (NZHDH). This paper aims to provide a comprehensive chemical analysis of NZHDH produced from honeybees, which feed on ne ...

During the growing season, it is a rare phenomenon, but can occur due to low food supply and/or poor food quality resulting from climatic influence. We evaluated this unusual damage of apple tree (Malus domestica) orchards by rodents in two localities in the Czech Republic. In 2019, 24% of trees in the orchard ...
