This study identifies a putative glycan receptor in silkworms based on structural similarity to human LYSMD3 and shows that N-acetylchitohexaose induces immune priming against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

This study shows that combining azole antifungals with different Cyp51 isozyme selectivities synergistically inhibits fungi with multiple Cyp51 isozymes.

This paper introduces a novel agar medium using leaf mold extract to isolate diverse soil bacteria, overcoming Bacillus dominance and enabling recovery of previously uncultured species.

This study develops a leaf mold extract agar medium that enhances the isolation of soil microbes not typically cultured in standard media, including an unidentified species.

This study reports a fast immune priming in silkworms triggered by gelatin or collagen that provides complete resistance to Gram-negative bacterial infection.
