A simple method for in vitro growth stimulation of tomato plantlets (Solanum lycopersicum)…
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have primarily been utilized as hardening agents for micropropagated plants. While in vitro co-culture models between AMF and plants exist, they are limited to pre-rooted explants and require either placing spores near roots, coating seeds with spores, or promoting root growth through water. Thus, this study aimed to create a simpler in vitro plant-fungal co-culture model…

Microbial biodegradation of recalcitrant synthetic dyes from textile-enriched wastewater by Fusarium oxysporum
The present study reported the improvement of biological treatment for the removal of recalcitrant dyes including aniline blue, reactive black 5, orange II, and crystal violet in contaminated water. The biodegradation efficiency of Fusarium oxysporum was significantly enhanced by the addition of mediators and by adjusting the biomass density and nutrient composition. A supplementation of 1% glucose in culture medium improved the…

Enhancing plastic biodegradation process: strategies and opportunities
Plastic biodegradation has emerged as a sustainable approach and green alternative in handling the ever-increasing accumulation of plastic wastes in the environment. The complete biodegradation of polyethylene terephthalate is one of the most recent breakthroughs in the field of plastic biodegradation. Despite the success, the effective and complete biodegradation of a wide variety of plastics is still far from the…

Genetic diversity of spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) in Vietnam based on COI genes
A spotted scat, Scatophagus argus, has a high nutritional value and is among Asia’s most widely consumed fish species. Thua Thien Hue’s consumption market considers this species to be of high economic value and requires protection and conservation of the population. However, the studies on the identification and genetic diversity of S. argus distributed in Vietnam are still lacking. Therefore, mitochondrial cytochrome c…
