Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2021 Jun;71(6). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.004824.ABSTRACTA novel acidophilic actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-YB345T, was isolated from a pumpkin root collected from Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, northeast PR China. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and chemotaxonomic and morphological properties, the isolate was assigned to the genus Streptacidiphilus, with the high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Streptacidiphilus melanogenes JCM 16224T (99.2 %), Streptacidiphilus anmyonensis JCM 16223T (99.1 %) and Streptacidiphilus jiangxiensis JCM 12277T (98.7 %).

Impact of the low and high concentrations of fly ash amended soil on growth, physiological response, and yield of pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata Duch. Ex Poiret L.).
Abstract
Fly ash, a result of coal burning in thermal power plants, is sustainably used in agriculture and has been regarded as a problematic solid waste worldwide. The presence of some desired nutrients (macro and micro) and its porosity makes it a marvelous soil amendment for plant growth and development. The present study was done to evaluate the effect of different fly ash levels on pumpkin crop (Cucurbita moschata). Pot experiment in randomized block design was conducted with different fly ash supplement treatments to analyze the impact of fly ash on growth, chlorophyll, carotenoid, biochemical parame...

Bisio
The use of edible flowers in cooking dates back to ancient times, but recently it is gaining success among the consumers, increasingly attentive to healthy and sustainable foods of high quality, without neglecting taste, flavour, and visual appeal. The present study aims to deepen the knowledge regarding the mineral composition of edible flowers, an aspect not widely investigated in scientific literature. The concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, V, and Zn have been determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP OES) in flowers belonging to a wide variety of speci...

In Vitro Effects of Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata) Seed Extracts on Echinococcus granulosus Protoscoleces.
Conclusion: Since highest mortality was 16%, the extract did not reach to LD50 (50% mortality). Therefore, the potency of the total extract is not sufficient as potential scolicidal drug.
