Article Abstract
Aims: Biocontrol products based on microorganisms and natural substances are promising alternatives to chemical pesticides that could contribute to develop a more sustainable agriculture. Here, we investigated the potential of cell-free culture filtrates (CFCFs) from two strains of the Bacillus subtilis group to inhibit Zymoseptoria tritici, a major fungal pathogen of wheat.
Methods And Results: Foliar application of CFCFs from Bacillus velezensis GA1 and Bacillus sp. III1 on wheat seedlings in a greenhouse strongly reduced Z. tritici disease severity (>90%). In vitro bioassays showed that CFCFs completely inhibited the spore germination and fungal growth (100%). In planta cytological investigations revealed a significant impact of the treatments on both spore germination (∼40% inhibition) and fungal growth of Z. tritici (>80% inhibition). High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis showed that the Bacillus strains displayed different lipopeptide profiles. The CFCF obtained from Bacillus GA1 contained 90 mg l-1 of iturin A + surfactins + fengycins and the CFCF obtained from Bacillus sp. III1 contained 25 mg l-1 of mojavensin A (iturin family) + surfactins + fengycins.
Conclusions: Strains of the B. subtilis group producing different iturins could provide several CFCF-based solutions for the biocontrol of Z. tritici.

This review examines the effects of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) on kidney health in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) populations, which face significant challenges in accessing medical care. GAHT, typically involves estrogen therapy for transgender women and transfeminine individuals, testosterone therapy for transgender men and transmasculine individuals, and therapy regimens for individuals who are nonbinary or identify with another gender not culturally assigned to their sex assigned at birth. Hormone therapy influences biomarkers such as creatinine and cystatin C, which are used in estimating glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

The cultivation of cowpea (), a vital vegetable crop, faces significant threats from spp.-induced root rot. In this study, three fungal pathogens ( HKFf, HKFi, and HKFo) were isolated from symptomatic cowpea plants, and we screened 90 rhizobacteria from healthy rhizospheres using six culture media.

Aim: Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) is one of the classic potassium-binding agents that remains commonly used in the treatment of hyperkalaemia. However, the potential concern about its sodium load has not been fully investigated. In this study, we evaluated the association between SPS initiation and heart failure (HF), compared with calcium polystyrene sulfonate (CPS).

The ESX-5 secretion system, uniquely found in slow-growing mycobacteria, is predicted to secrete over 150 proteins across the inner membrane of (). Although many of these substrates are believed to promote virulence, most remain poorly characterized. Here, we use a complete locus deletion strain of ESX-5 in to examine the molecular changes caused by a broad loss in ESX-5 secretory substrates.
