To investigate secondary pollution issued during the preparation of sintered brick from waterquenched yellow phosphorus slag, the composition of slag was experimentally measured in this study. The thermal conversion process and gas phase products associated with S-, P-, F-, and As-containing species present in the heating system were theoretically calculated by means of thermochemical software FactSage...
Pitaya contains various types of polyphenols, flavonoid and vitamins which are beneficial for health and it is among the most important commercial tropical fruits worldwide. Endophytic bacteria might be beneficial for plant growth and yield. However, bacterial diversity in pitaya is poorly characterized. In this study, fruits of white and red pitayas from three different origins (Thailand, Vietnam...
To understand the molecular epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of air and clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii, the intensive care unit settings of a hospital in Northern China were surveyed in 2014. Twenty non-duplicate A. baumannii isolates were obtained from patients and five isolates of airborne A. baumannii were obtained from the wards’ corridors. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis...
Plant physiology and biochemistry are both affected by salinity, which is an important abiotic stressor. In this study, we identified transcript-derived fragments (TDFs) in response to salt stress in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) using cDNA-amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) analysis. Seventy-four TDFs were identified in the leaves of two-year-old plants after NaCl treatment...
Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transient gene expression and silencing in protoplasts is widely applied in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and rice. Here, we developed an efficient transient gene expression system based on the PEG-mediated method both in etiolated and green maize mesophyll protoplasts. The results showed that both yellow fluorescent protein encoding gene and glucuronidase...
Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is an important bacterium causing nosocomial infections; A. baumannii infections have increased in our hospital since 2009. However, multidrug-resistant A. baumannii, which was mainly isolated from patients in each intensive care unit (ICU), rapidly increased from December 2012 to January 2013. Therefore, we described the molecular characteristics of A....
Illuminating shoots stimulates nitrate uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. ‘EM18’) roots. A method with a high time resolution (minutes), non-invasive technique, has enabled to measure the nitrate uptake time coarsely. The nitrate uptake by wheat roots increases in the light and decreases in the dark. The mechanism is thought to be via a signal carried in phloem, probably a sugar.
