Development and Transfer of Microbial Agrobiotechnologies in Contrasting Agrosystems: Experience of Kazakhstan and China

Microbial consortia—communities of beneficial microorganisms—offer promising solutions to modern agriculture’s challenges by enhancing plant growth, improving stress tolerance, and restoring soil health. China has successfully integrated these microbial products into farming through strong government support and research infrastructure, while Kazakhstan has the scientific knowledge but faces funding and implementation challenges. This comparative study shows that adopting these technologies requires both scientific advancement and practical support systems tailored to each country’s specific needs.

Microbial-Based Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles: A Comparative Review of Bacteria- and Fungi-Mediated Approaches

Scientists have developed environmentally friendly ways to create tiny silver particles using bacteria and fungi instead of harsh chemicals. These silver nanoparticles can fight bacteria, help treat cancer, clean contaminated water, and improve food packaging. The review shows that bacteria produce particles quickly but fungi are better for large-scale production and create more stable particles.

Eco-friendly biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using marine-derived Fusarium equiseti: optimization, characterization, and evaluation of antimicrobial, antioxidant, and cytotoxic activities

Scientists used a marine fungus called Fusarium equiseti to create tiny silver particles called nanoparticles in an environmentally-friendly way. These particles showed strong abilities to kill harmful bacteria and fungi, protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, and fight breast cancer cells in laboratory tests. This green synthesis method offers a safer, non-toxic alternative to traditional chemical manufacturing while producing stable, multi-functional nanoparticles.

Advances in submerged liquid fermentation and formulation of entomopathogenic fungi

This paper reviews how scientists are improving the production of natural fungal pesticides that kill insect pests. Instead of growing fungi on grains in bags, researchers are using large fermentation tanks similar to those used in food and beverage production. These tanks can produce beneficial fungal cells more quickly and efficiently, with better quality control and safety. The paper discusses different types of fungal cells produced, how to make them stable for storage and field use, and how this technology could replace older production methods worldwide.

A Rapid and Efficient Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) Assay for the Authentication of Food Supplements Based on Maitake (Grifola frondosa)

This research developed a quick and accurate DNA-based test to verify if food supplements actually contain genuine Maitake mushroom as claimed on their labels. The test can detect very small amounts of Maitake DNA and distinguish it from other mushroom species, helping prevent fraud in the supplement industry. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps consumers know they are getting genuine Maitake supplements they paid for • Protects against fraudulent or mislabeled mushroom products in the marketplace • Enables better quality control throughout the supplement production process • Makes testing of supplements faster and more reliable • Could lead to similar tests for other valuable mushroom supplements
