Efficient beta-poly(L-malic acid) production from Jerusalem artichoke by Aureobasidium pullulans ipe-1 immobilized in lu...
beta-poly(L-malic acid) (PMLA) production by Aureobasidium pullulans ipe-1 using Jerusalem artichoke tuber (JA) hydrolysate as a low cost carbon source was developed. The PMLA production was favored by JA pretreated with 0.06 M nitric acid without adding exogenous nitrogen sources into fermentation medium. With an initial 130 g/L total sugar of the...

Enhanced growth-driven stepwise inducible expression system development in haloalkaliphilic desulfurizing Thioalkalivibr...
Highly toxic and flammable H2S gas has become an environmental threat. Because of its ability to efficiently remove H2S by oxidation, Thioalkalivibrio versutus is gaining more attention. Haloalkaliphilic autotrophs, like the bio-desulfurizing T. versutus, grow weakly. Weak growth makes any trial for developing potent genetic tools required for gene...

US county-level agricultural crop production typology
Published in BMC Research Notes
ObjectivesCrop production is an important variable in social, economic and environmental analyses. There is an abundance of crop data available for the United States, but we lack a typology of county-level crop production that accounts for production similarities in counties across the country. We fill this gap with a county-level classification of...
Can cannabis go green?
Published in Nature
With its demand for water, land and artificial lighting, cannabis growing can leave a large environmental footprint. But heightened awareness could make cultivation more benign.
The professionalization of cannabis growing
Published in Nature
As the wave of legalization advances, a budding industry is adopting the high standards of consumer-product makers to meet regulatory requirements.
Increasing brown hare (Lepus europaeus) densities in farmland without predator culling: results of a field experiment in...
Published in European Journal of Wildlife Research
In a field experiment in Northwestern Switzerland, we managed one part of each of four experimental areas in order to improve leveret (Lepus europaeus) survival and used the remaining part as control. The experimental areas were dominated by arable farming with a high diversity of different crops. Potential leveret predators were numerous and not c...
Assessing farmers’ perspectives on climate change for effective farm-level adaptation measures in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pa...
Published in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment
Agriculture is considered as the backbone of the economy of Pakistan. However, current changes in climate have been adversely affecting agricultural productivity. In this paper, perceived impacts of climate change on agriculture and adaptation towards it have been studied in Charsadda district (lowlands) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan t...
