EVALUATION OF THE DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY OF 2-PHENOXYETHANOL AND CLOVE OIL ANAESTHETICS USING THE FROG EMBRYO TERATOGENESIS ASSAY: XENOPUS (FETAX)

Evaluation of the developmental toxicity of 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil anaesthetics using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX)

The developmental toxicity of two anaesthetics, 2-phenoxyethanol and clove oil, used in aquaculture was evaluated using the Frog Embryo Teratogenesis Assay: Xenopus (FETAX) and the results were compared to outcomes in fish.Xenopus laevis embryos were exposed to 50, 100, 300, 500, 700 and 1000 mg/l of 2-phenoxyethanol or 1, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg/l

Biological Control of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense Tropical Race 4 Using Natively Isolated Bacillus spp. YN0904 and YN1419

Fusarium wilt of banana (FWB) is the main threatening factor for banana production worldwide.To explore bacterial biocontrol resources for FWB, the antagonistic effective strains were isolated from banana-producing areas in Yunnan Province, China.Two isolates (YN0904 and YN1419) displaying strong antagonism against Tropical Race 4 (TR4) were identi
