As a secondary messenger, calcium participates in various physiological and biochemical reactions in plants. Photosynthesis is the most extensive biosynthesis process on Earth. To date, researchers have found that some chloroplast proteins have Ca2+-binding sites, and the structure and function of some of these proteins have been discussed in detail. Although the roles of Ca2+ signal transduction related to photosynthesis have been discussed, the relationship between calcium and photosynthesis is seldom systematically summarized. In this review, we provide an overview of current knowledge of calcium’s role in photosynthesis.

In the present investigation five cheese samples were collected and their pH and moisture contents were determined which was found to vary from 6.0 to 6.5 and 35.0-40.0% respectively. Major nutritional factors protein (1N NaOH soluble) and fat (chloroform soluble) of the samples were also analyzed and found 57.9 to 100.0 mg/g protein and 15-25% fat. The samples showed higher number of total bacterial count (5.3×104 - 2.9×107cfu/g) than the load of Lactobacilli (1.9x105 cfu/g) and Streptococci (2.1x105cfu/g). All the isolates were grouped into six on the basis of their morphological and cultural features. Six isolates were selected on the basis of their morphological, cultural, physiological and biochemical characteristics. An attempt was made to identify the isolates. They were found to belong to the three genera viz. Bacillus (S1X3, S1X8, S2Y1, and S2Y2), Staphylococcus (S1X7) and Planococcus (S1X11). They were provisionally identified as Bacillus fastidiosus (S1X3); B. sphaericus (S1X8); B. brevis (S2Y1); B. aminovorans (S2Y2); Staphylococcus saprophyticus (S1X7) and Planococcus citreus (S1X11).The selected isolates were screened for their efficacy in terms of curd and cheese production.

It is known that fungal chitin exhibits high sorption properties with respect to heavy metal ions, while it is practically not absorbed in the human body, which makes it a promising sorbent. The aim of this work was to evaluate the sorption abilities of the mushrooms of Agaricus bisporus and Russula atropurpurea with respect to cadmium ions. The use of the potentiometric method for measuring the potential of the ion-selective electrode, which depends on the concentration of cadmium ions in solution, made it possible to register in detail in real time the kinetic curves of sorption of cadmium ions by mushrooms. During the experiment, it was found that the kinetics of sorption of cadmium ions from a solution with initial concentrations (0.2-2.0)·10-5 M by the preparations of fruit bodies of mushrooms A. bisporus and R. atropurpurea is well described by the pseudo-second order equation, according to which the limiting stage of the process is chemical interaction of sorbent and sorbate (1:1 ratio). At relatively low initial concentrations of cadmium ions in solution ((0.2-0.6)·10–5 M), the sorption rate was 1.5-2.5 times higher for R. atropurpurea compared to A. bisporus. At higher concentrations of cadmium ions in solution ((0.8-2.0)·10-5 M) the speed and capacity of sorption were very close for different types of mushrooms. Moreover, the rate of sorption by mushrooms exceeds 5-10 times the rate of sorption of activated carbon and micromycetes of the genus Fusarium. It was revealed that the sorption isotherm of cadmium ions by mushrooms is well described by the Dubinin-Radushkevich equation, according to which R. atropurpurea is characterized by the highest sorption compared to A. bisporus. Thus, R. atropurpurea has the highest sorption activity with respect to cadmium ions.

This Special Issue provides an update for the rapidly developing technology known as “optogenetics” that is the use of genetically encoded light-sensitive molecular elements (usually derived from lower organisms) to control or report various physiological and biochemical processes within the cell. Two ongoing clinical trials use optogenetic tools for vision restoration, and optogenetic strategies have been suggested as novel therapies for several neurological, psychiatric and cardiac disorders. The Special Issue comprises two reviews and seven experimental papers on different types of light-sensitive modules widely used in optogenetic studies. These papers demonstrate the efficiency and versatility of optogenetics and are expected to be equally relevant for advanced users and beginners who only consider using optogenetic tools in their research.

With in-depth knowledge of pesticide contamination, toxicity and mechanisms of toxicity studies of pesticides on algae growing. Toxicity of pesticides to algae is destruction of algal biofilm structure and function, effect of algae photosynthesis, respiration, also effects of algal physiological and biochemical components. Different growing influence of different types of pesticides on Scenedesmus obliquus, the impact of pesticides with different components of Scenedesmus obliquus will be different. This paper reviews the growth and impact of the toxic effects of pesticides on the ramp mechanism Scencdesmus.

Enzymes are biomolecules with highly specialized catalytic functions produced by all living organisms and are responsible for biochemical reactions in plants, animals, microorganisms and human beings. Nowadays enzymes are considered as core of biotechnology because they are the main tools for the application of basic biotechnological techniques, they act as the target of the therapeutic drugs and are indispensable intermediates in all biotechnological processes. The concept of the therapeutic enzymes has been around for at least 40 years. Microbial enzymes are preferred over other sources and in this review different types of microbial enzymes are discussed for their therapeutic applications.
