Using fungal-bacterial community analysis to explore potential microbiomes to manage Meloidogyne incongnita.

Rhizosphere microbial communities strongly affect outbreaks of root-knot nematode (RKN) disease. However, little is known about the interactions among fungi, bacteria and RKN. The bacterial and fungal community compositions in the rhizospheres of four representative tobacco varieties, both resistant and susceptible to RKN, were characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing for bacteria and internal transcribed spacer gene sequencing for fungi. Our findings revealed that the fungi played crucial roles in facilitating the cross-kingdom and symbiotic fungal-bacterial interactions to suppress RKN. Moreover, our investigation suggested Microbacterium as a potential microbial antagonist against RKN based on its enhanced presence in RKN-resistant tobacco genotypes, and the relative abundance of Microbacterium was 34.49% greater in the rhizosphere of resistant tobacco than that of susceptible tobacco significantly. Notably, the richness of fungal community enhanced tobacco's microbe-associated resistance to RKN through the positive regulation of the richness and diversity of bacterial community and the relative abundance of Microbacterium. This study underscores the critical role of the fungus-dominated fungal-bacterial community in bolstering tobacco resistance against RKN. The potential antagonistic role of Microbacterium presents promising avenues for innovative RKN management strategies.

Homogeneous Complexation Strategy to Manage Bromine for High‐Capacity Zinc–Bromine Flow Battery

AbstractZinc–bromine flow batteries (ZBFBs) have received widespread attention as a transformative energy storage technology with a high theoretical energy density (430 Wh kg−1). However, its efficiency and stability have been long threatened as the positive active species of polybromide anions (Br2n+1−) are subject to severe crossover across the membrane at a high concentration. Herein, a novel highly hydrophilic complexing agent, N‐methyl‐N, N‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐1‐propanaminium bromide (PMDA), is developed to effectively manage bromine in a homogeneous posolyte, which realizes a low bromine crossover at a high operating concentration in ZBFBs. Both theoretical and experimental results suggest that the PMDA interacts with Br2n+1− and forms a larger‐size complex PMDABr2n+1. When adding 0.40 m PMDA, the bromine stays homogeneous at a high concentration up to 1.20 m, and its permeability is remarkably decreased by 74%. For demonstration, the ZBFB achieves a operating capacity record of 57.2 Ah L−1 in a homogeneous bromine posolyte with a high Coulombic efficiency of ≈90.0% and superior cycling stability (capacity retention rate of 100.0% per cycle). This work provides one innovative bromine management strategy to realize a high capacity and superior stability in ZBFBs.

Translating agile management practices into a traditional industry context

AbstractThis study explores the translation of agile management practices (agile) into a traditional industry context. Using a case study of agile adoption in a development project in a large traditional company of the aerospace and defense industry, this research investigates how the translation process unfolds by studying how both idea and context are adapted to create shared meaning. This research makes two main contributions. First, this research introduces translation theory to the innovation management literature and details its applicability in explaining variations in outcomes of applying management practices in new organizational contexts. Our research suggests that this constitutes a complementary theoretical lens to diffusion theory, enabling the explanation of the process to create shared meaning when idea and recipient context have a low level of compatibility. Second, this research shows the process of translating agile into a traditional context through a non‐linear joint creation of meaning. The process was shaped largely by the experience and resolution of project‐external (i.e., with the surrounding organization) and project‐internal conflicts, which in turn motivated the idea or context to adapt. The study identifies two central concepts, namely isolation, and shielding, which determine how the translation process unfolds and how meaning is created. Managerial implications based on these contributions are presented and discussed.
