Effects of acaricides on Oligonychus sp. and compatibility with predatory mites Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis
In Mexico, outbreaks of phytophagous papaya mites (Oligonychus sp.) can threaten papaya production by damaging young leaves, causing a reduction in plant vigour and fruit yield. In the present study, we evaluated...

Decolorization of Textile Effluent by Trametes hirsuta Bm-2 and lac-T as Possible Main Laccase-Contributing Gene
The decolorization of dye and textile effluent by Trametes hirsuta was studied in both induced and non-induced media. A removal of 70–100% of the color was achieved through adsorption and the action of laccases. ...
