N-acetylchitohexaose induces immune priming against Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

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.

Synergistic effects of Cyp51 isozyme-specific azole antifungal agents on fungi with multiple cyp51 isozyme genes

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

Leaf Mold Agar Facilitates Recovery of Soil Bacterial Diversity Beyond Bacillus Dominance

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.

Advancing microbial isolation: The impact of leaf mold extract agar on soil samples

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.

A fast immune priming that confers a complete infection resistance on silkworm (Bombyx mori)

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