Rhizobium leguminosarum strain combination effects on nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation with Vicia villosa
APPLIED SOIL ECOLOGY, 156.
author keywords: Rhizobia; Nitrogen fixation; Vicia villosa; Legume; Root nodule; Hairy vetch
TL;DR:
Because vetch inoculated with local Rlv strains produced similar amounts of N as uninoculated plants fertilized with N, this work suggests that rhizobia sourced from local soils may produce sufficient BNF with vetch.

Least cost energy system pathways towards 100% renewable energy in Ireland by 2050
ENERGY, 207.
author keywords: 100% Renewable energy; Electrification; Energy system optimization model; Uncertainty analysis
TL;DR:
Results show that compared to decarbonization targets, focusing on renewable penetration without considering carbon capture options is significantly more cost effective in carbon mitigation and pathways relying on international bioenergy imports are slightly cheaper and faces less economic and technical challenges.

Reducing fat, oil, and grease (FOG) deposits formation and adhesion on sewer collection system structures through the use of fly ash replaced cement-based materials
Water Research, 186, 116304.
MeSH headings : Calcium; Coal Ash; Fats; Hydrocarbons; Sewage / analysis
TL;DR:
FTIR analyses revealed that the FOG deposit formation mechanism is affected by the availability of calcium and pH near the concrete surface, and reported the first spatial variation found in FOG deposits that includes a surface layer of hard Fog deposits with high calcium soap absorbance and an outer layer of soft FOG Deposit consisting of a low calcium absorbance.

Colonization and Internalization ofSalmonella entericaand Its Prevalence in Cucumber Plants
FRONTIERS IN MICROBIOLOGY, 11.
author keywords: Salmonella; cucumber; fitness; internalization; blossom
TL;DR:
Investigation of routes of colonization and internalization of S. enterica into cucumber plants by various routes of contamination identified blossoms as an important route by which Salmonella internalized at a high percentage into cucumbers, and S. Poona, the same strain isolated from the 2015 outbreak of cucumbers imported from Mexico, was shown to be well-adapted to the blossom niche.
