Host selection is not a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly among ecologically similar native New Zealand plant species by Anya S. Noble, Jaber Abbaszadeh, Charles K. Lee

“…Abstract Background A growing body of evidence demonstrates that host-associated microbial communities of plant leaf surfaces (i.e. the phyllosphere) can influence host functional traits. However, it remains unclear whether host selection is a universal driver of phyllosphere community assembly. …”

Utilization of Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) wastes for bioethanol production using Pichia kudriavzevii strains by Folake T. Afolabi, Ibukun E. Ola

“…Moreover, the Pichia kudriavzevii strains could be recommended for bioethanol production at 30 % inoculum size, on using sucrose as a carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source. On using the Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTI) spectroscopy, the detected functional group of the produced bioethanol was O-H group. …”
