Characterisation of novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera:Tephridae)
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is successfully used in pest management strategies as an eco-friendly bioinsecticide. Isolation and identification of new strains with a wide variety of target pests is an ever growing field. In this ...
Effects of the P20 protein from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis on insecticidal crystal protein Cry4Ba
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Article)
The accessory protein P20 from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis has been defined as an important molecular chaperone for forming crystal Cyt1Aa, and enhancing Cry11Aa and Cry4Aa expression. To investigate its putative ...
K-Shell Photoionization of the Oxygen Isonuclear Sequence
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
K-shell photoionization cross-section measurements for the oxygen isonuclear sequence from N-like to Li-like made at the SOLEIL Light Source are compared with SUNC, MCDF and R-matrix calculations.
Impacts of urbanization on the distribution of heavy metals in soils along the Huangpu River, the drinking water source for Shanghai
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated the horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Ni, and Cr) in soils in the water source protection zone for Shanghai to study the origins of these metals, their connections ...
K-shell photoionization of O+ and O2+ ions: Experiment and theory
(
American Physical Society
, 2015 , Article)
Absolute cross sections for the single and double K-shell photoionization of carbon like O2+ and nitrogen like O+ ions were measured in the 526–620-eV photon energy range by employing the ion-photon merged-beam technique ...
Evidence of two mechanisms involved in Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis decreased toxicity against mosquito larvae: Genome dynamic and toxins stability
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2015 , Article)
Biopesticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis are the most used and most successful around the world. This bacterium is characterized by a dynamic genome able to win or lose genetic materials which leads to a ...
Cry4Ba and Cyt1Aa proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis: Interactions and Toxicity mechanism against Aedes aegypti
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Individual crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis exhibit variable levels of insecticidal activities against mosquito larvae. In all cases, they are much less active compared to the whole crystal proteins ...
Sustainable production of toxin free marine microalgae biomass as fish feed in large scale open system in the Qatari desert
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Mass cultivation of microalgae biomass for feed should be cost effective and toxin free. Evaporation loss in Qatar can be as high as 2 cm/d. Hence, production of marine microalgae biomass in Qatar would also require ...
TiO2 nanotubes with ultrathin walls for enhanced water splitting
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
We demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of titania nanotubes
with ultrathin (3–5 nm) wall thickness. As revealed by the incident
photon-to-current collection efficiency (IPCE) and electrochemical
impedance ...
