The effect of paclobutrazol on soil bacterial composition across three consecutive flowering stages of mung bean
Paclobutrazol, (2RS, 3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4, 4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) pentan-3-ol, is a plant growth retardant that mainly inhibits gibberellins (GAs) biosynthesis. In agricultural practice, pac...

Stimulation of n-alkane conversion to dicarboxylic acid by organic-solvent- and detergent-treated microbes
A wild-type strain of Cryptococcus neoformans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were used to convert n-pentadecane to the corresponding dioic acid, tridecane 1,13-dicarboxylic acid (DC-15). Altering the cell permeabilit...
