Abstract: Terrestrial gastropods are hosts of a wide variety of metazoan parasites and can respond to parasite exposure in various ways. One of these defence mechanisms, the ability to trap parasites in the host shell, was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.14078
Abstract: Engineered materials to improve the shelf‐life of desiccated microbial strains are needed for cost‐effective bioaugmentation strategies. High temperatures and humidity of legume‐growing regions challenge long‐term cell stabilization at the desiccated state. A thermostable xeroprotectant core… read more here.
