The document proposes a scheme for how Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 interacts with fiber-degrading gut microbiota. S. cerevisiae colonizes lignin and hemicelluloses in the gut, increasing the density of cellulolytic microbes like Ruminococcus Flavefaecin that break down cellulose. It also boosts hemicellulolytic microbes like Fibrobacter succinogenes that degrade hemicelluloses. This supports fiber degradation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Native fungi like oyster mushrooms can remediate hydrocarbon pollution through mycoremediation. Pleurotus fungi break down polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other contaminants using extracellular enzymes. Mycoremediation projects around the world use oyster mushrooms and their mycelial networks to clean soils and waterways contaminated with pollutants from sources such as oil spills, industrial waste, and coal tar sealants. Citizen science and education opportunities exist for hands-on experience in mycoremediation techniques.Oyster

The author grew oyster mushrooms on paper in the spring of 2011. They saw the mycelium grow rapidly and were excited to see signs that the mushrooms were growing. They experimented with using an autoclave and designing a moisture system, though the latter did not work. The exciting moments included seeing the non-rational aspects of the work and doing exactly what the online recipes instructed. The author learned that the work must be meaningful and related to their life for them to enjoy it. Oyster mushrooms can grow on many organic wastes and help reduce soil toxicity.Mycoremediation of soil contaminated with low density polyethylene (ldpe) bag...

The document summarizes a study that investigated using the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus to remediate soil contaminated with low density polyethylene (LDPE) bags. The fungus was grown in the laboratory and then introduced to soil containing melted and crushed LDPE bags. After 4 months, the mycoremediated soil showed significantly higher fixed carbon and cation contents compared to the contaminated, unremediated soil, indicating bioremediation had occurred. The results demonstrate that Pleurotus ostreatus and the process of pyrolysis can help break down LDPE contamination in soil.MYCOREMEDIATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF DYE CONTAINING EFFLUENTS

Phytoremediation uses living plants to remove, degrade, or stabilize contaminants in soil, sludges, sediments, and groundwater through natural processes. Key methods include phytoextraction, where plants uptake and concentrate contaminants; rhizofiltration, where contaminants are absorbed or adsorbed onto root surfaces; and phytodegradation, where plants or their associated microbes break down organic pollutants. Phytoremediation offers a low-cost, solar-powered, and aesthetically-pleasing approach to remediation of sites with lower-level contamination.Academic writing, publishing, reviewing, ethics

Gene silencing refers to turning off a gene's expression without genetic modification. A gene that would normally be expressed is suppressed by cellular machinery. Scientists have explored strategies to selectively silence specific genes in diseased tissues over the past 30 years using various agents. These include antisense oligodeoxynucleotides in the 1980s, ribozymes in the 1990s, and RNA interference using small interfering RNA in the 2000s. The document compares different gene silencing strategies and their mechanisms of action, such as binding to or cleaving target mRNA to inhibit translation or degrade the mRNA.Ruminants ( Shakira sulehri)

Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a contagious viral disease affecting small ruminants like sheep and goats. It causes fever, oral lesions, diarrhea, and pneumonia, with mortality rates as high as 80-100%. The virus is in the same family as measles. Transmission occurs through contact with secretions. While it only infects small ruminants, PPR poses economic threats and limits livestock trade and production. Vaccination provides effective protection. Control relies on quarantine of infected herds, vaccination of surrounding animals, and strict sanitation measures.2013 polymerase chain-reaction-shakira sulehri
