Soil and water conservation technologies (SWCT) are important to farmers, to the research community, as well as to the policy makers, given that declining soil health, and increasing erosion and moisture stress have implications for agricultural livelihoods, national food security, and more generally for well-being within rural communities.Yet, des

Biofilm is a structured community of bacteria encased within a self-produced extracellular matrix.When bacteria form biofilms, they undergo a phenotypic shift that enhances their resistance to antimicrobial agents.Consequently, inducing the transition of biofilm bacteria to the planktonic state may offer a viable approach for addressing infections
Mycotoxins are among the primary factors compromising food quality and safety.To investigate mycotoxin contamination, microbial diversity, and functional profiles in maize across distinct geographic regions, this study analyzed samples from Xuanwei, Fuyuan, and Zhanyi.Mycotoxin concentrations were quantified through standardized assays, while micro
