TL;DR: In general, the targeted denitrifier community abundance did not change between agricultural and riparian zones, however, nosZ gene expression was greater in the riparian zone than the agricultural zone and the nirK-gene-bearing community structure was more responsive to change between the two ecosystems.

TL;DR: A series of 14 binary vectors suitable for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of dicotyledonous plants and adaptable for biolistic transformation of monocotylerpine plants is presented, minimizing all non-essential elements from the vector backbone and T-DNA regions while maintaining the ability to replicate independently.
Abstract: We present a series of 14 binary vectors suitable for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of dicotyledonous plants and adaptable for biolistic transformation of monocotyledonous plants. The vector size has been minimized by eliminating all non-essential elements from the vector backbone and T-DNA regions while maintaining the ability to replicate independently. The smallest of the vector series is 6.3 kb and possesses an extensive multiple cloning site with 21 unique restriction endonuclease sites that are compatible with common cloning, protein expression, yeast two-hybrid and other binary vectors. The T-DNA region was engineered using a synthetic designer oligonucleotide resulting in an entirely modular system whereby any vector element can be independently exchanged. The high copy number ColE1 origin of replication has been included to enhance plasmid yield in Escherichia coli. FRT recombination sites flank the selectable marker cassette regions and allow for in planta excision by FLP recombinase. The pORE series consists of three basic types; an ‘open’ set for general plant transformation, a ‘reporter’ set for promoter analysis and an ‘expression’ set for constitutive expression of transgenes. The sets comprise various combinations of promoters (P
HPL, P
ENTCUP2 and P
TAPADH), selectable markers (nptII and pat) and reporter genes (gusA and smgfp).

TL;DR: In this article, the ability to inactivate Pseudomonas spp. and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa by a photocatalyst thin film, obtained via a combination of anatase and rutile titanium dioxide incorporation into a low density polyethylene (LDPE) polymeric matrix by a melt blending method, was addressed.
Abstract: The ability to inactivate Pseudomonas spp. and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa by a photocatalyst thin film, obtained via a combination of anatase and rutile titanium dioxide incorporation into a low density polyethylene (LDPE) polymeric matrix by a melt blending method, was addressed in this study. The number of surviving cell of the Pseudomonas spp. was decreased by 4 log CFU/ml and 1.35 log CFU/ml after 3 h of UVA illumination on TiO2 nanocomposite thin film and LDPE thin film, respectively. The number of cells of R. mucilaginosa decreased by 2 log CFU/ml and 0.64 log CFU/ml on TiO2 nanocomposite thin film and LDPE thin film, respectively. In an in vivo test carried out on fresh pears packaged in TiO2 nanocomposite film and stored under illumination by a fluorescent light lamp at 5 °C for 17 days, the number of mesophilic bacteria and yeast cells decreased significantly compared to samples stored in LDPE film. The greatest effects were recorded by combining UVA illumination and active film. It was also proven that the photocatalyst thin film prepared by extrusion could be effectively used in fruit packaging applications.

TL;DR: The ionic liquid SLB-IL111 column, available from Supelco Inc., is a novel fused capillary gas chromatography (GC) column capable of providing enhanced separations of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) compared to the highly polar cyanopropyl siloxane columns currently recommended for the separation of cis- and trans isomers of fatty acids (FAs).
