Bio-cementation is a new sustainable approach that has gained popularity due to its low energy and carbon dioxide footprint compared with those of existing technologies for geotechnical geoenvironmental engineering applications. soil improvement technique involves binding the pore space particles calcium carbonate minerals by microbially induced precipitation (MICP) filling space. The purpose t...

The Bacillus cereus group includes eight species: anthracis, B. cereus, cytotoxicus, mycoides, pseudomycoides, thuringiensis, weihenstephanensis and toyonensis, which are highly related at the phylogenetic level. In this work, we performed isolation characterization of a novel sp. strain exhibiting parasporal crystals with insecticidal activity that was initially classified as thuringiensis str...

Lysinibacillus sphaericus produces the mosquito larvicidal binary toxin consisting of BinA and BinB, which are both required for toxicity against Culex and Anopheles larvae. The molecular mechanisms behind Bin toxin-induced damage remain unexplored. We used whole-genome microarray-based transcriptome analysis to better understand how Culex larvae respond to Bin toxin treatment at the molecular ...
