Article Abstract
Background: Rhopalosiphum padi is a major infection affecting cereal crops in the boundary area. However, continuous use of chemical pesticides has increased cases of drug resistance in its field population. Therefore, we aimed to verify the insecticidal properties of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YJNbs21.10 against aphids, isolated to determine the bioactivity of its metabolite Macrolactin A against aphids for the first time.
Results: The results of activity tracking showed that the fermentation broth of YJNbs21.10 had the best inhibitory efficacy against R. padi, and the corrected efficiency reached 95.57% after 24 h. With the continuous separation and test, the efficiency of the active components decreased: Macrolactin A, as the most active substance, had a control activity against aphids under 500 mg L of 74.64% at 72 h, (which was significantly lower than that of fermentation broth, indicating a synergistic effect between the active substances of each part of the strain. In addition, the result of the stereomicroscope showed that Macrolactin A damaged the body wall of aphids. The toxicity of Macrolactin A to R. padi was confirmed through the gradient test.
Conclusion: In this study, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YJNbs21.10 exhibited comparable inhibitory ability to chemical pesticides suggesting its potential to provide effective biological control on aphids. The biological activity of Macrolactin A against aphids was also verified for the first time, in this experiment, the EC of this substance against aphids was 169.02 mg L (24 h), which provided strong evidence that YJNbs21.10 may act as an effective agent for the prevention of aphid. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Laccases, as multicopper oxidases, play a pivotal role in lignin degradation and hold broad industrial promise in biorefineries, bioremediation, textiles, and pulp and paper processing. However, their use is limited by poor stability under harsh operational conditions. Here, we designed a novel thermostable laccase (WCotA) from by combining data-driven mining with rational engineering.

Background: Wheat bran (WB) and biscuit crumbs (BC) offer alternative feed sources for laying hens, potentially improving productivity and economic efficiency.
Objective: This work evaluated the partial replacement of maize meal with WB or BC, with or without the addition of CECT 5940, on the productive and economic performance of laying hens.
Methods: Five treatments were allocated as follows: T1: a basal diet; T2: a basal diet where 20% of maize meal was replaced by WB; T3: a basal diet that included 20% of WB plus CECT 5940; T4: a basal diet where 20% of maize meal was replaced by BC; and T5: a basal diet that included 20% of BC plus CECT 5940.
