Currently, the food and agricultural sectors are concerned about environmental problems
caused by raw material waste, and they are looking for strategies to reduce the growing …

This chapter provides a spectrum of the research investigations on the use of spent
mushroom substrate (SMS). It outlines characteristics of spent substrate, and presents the …

Spent mushroom substrate is made from the waste remaining after the harvest of
mushrooms. Here, we evaluated the potential of five spent edible fungi (Auricularia cornea …

Continuous cropping of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in China has contributed to the
decline of crop quality and yield. The aims of this study were to evaluate the integrated effect …

A novel aeration strategy has been developed at lab and bench-scale for Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) derived biopesticides production through solid-state fermentation, using a …

Persistence of Bacillus thuringiensis is an important factor in determining the success of this
product as a pest control agent. In this report we present the development of a highly active …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a popular and environment-friendly biopesticide. However,
similar to other microbial pesticides, Bt is limited by ultraviolet (UV) radiation during its …

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) is the organic material remaining after harvesting
mushrooms. We evaluated the potential of using SMSs of four different edible fungi …

The key step for the toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) is the interaction
between toxins and putative receptors; thus, many studies focus on identification of new …

As an ATP-dependent DNA helicase, RecG can repair DNA replication forks in many
organisms. However, knowledge of recG in Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is limited. In our …
