Photosynthetic characteristics of Paris polyphylla var. chinensis in response to different light intensities and soil water contents by Yaling Zhang, Yaling Zhang, Rong Xu, Rong Xu, Rong Xu, Zhaozhao Wang, Juan Zhang, Xinghao Tang, Yu Chen, Xiao-Li Yan, Lu-Ping Qu, Lu-Ping Qu

“…This is associated with a decrease in the light response curve, indicating that low soil moisture inhibits the growth of P. polyphylla and increases the likelihood of irreversible light damage, so the optimum soil moisture content for P. polyphylla should be above 20%.DiscussionConsidering the economic benefits and the growth and health of P. polyphylla in artificial cultivation, it is recommended that shade be controlled at around 50% while maintaining soil moisture between 40% and 60% of water content.…”

Biodegradation potential of Gordonia spp. on polypropylene and polystyrene: enhanced degradation through pretreatment by Yan Zhu, Hongzhe Wang, Hongzhe Wang, Jing Bai, Yanjie Qi, Dongfei Han

“…Through a systematic 50-day incubation experiment with single-strain cultures of five Gordonia strains (Gordonia polyisoprenivorans B251, Gordonia polyisoprenivorans B253, Gordonia hydrophobica 4.134, Gordonia humi 4.135, and Gordonia sihwensis LQ21), we quantitatively evaluated the degradation performance using four complementary analytical methods: mass loss quantification, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and surface water contact angle.ResultsNotably, Gordonia polyisoprenivorans B253 demonstrated remarkable degradation capabilities, as evidenced by: (1) characteristic chemical modifications including hydroxyl group formation (3,280 cm−1), carbon-carbon double bond generation (1,640 cm−1), and ether group appearance (1,100 cm−1) in ATR-FTIR spectra; (2) pronounced surface erosion patterns observed via SEM; and (3) significant mass reduction (1.927% ± 0.038% of PS) compared to controls. …”
