Does total column ozone change during a solar eclipse? by G. H. Bernhard, G. T. Janson, S. Simpson, R. R. Cordero, R. R. Cordero, E. I. Sepúlveda Araya, J. Jorquera, J. A. Rayas, R. N. Lind

“…The slightly larger variability at Mazatlán is due to cirrus clouds occurring throughout the day of the eclipse and the difficulty of separating changes in the ozone layer from cloud effects. These results support the conclusion that a solar eclipse does not lead to variations in TCO of more than <span class="inline-formula">±</span> 1.2 DU and that these variations are likely much lower, drawing into question reports of much larger oscillations. …”

Investigating the production and synergistic antibacterial activity of bacteriocin-like substance from Brevibacillus laterosporus SA-14 (TISTR 2453) for enhanced wound healing by Husna Madoromae, Apichart Atipairin, Malatee Tayeh, Monthon Lertcanawanichakul

“…This study aimed to enhance the production of bacteriocin-like substances (BLS) from Brevibacillus laterosporus SA-14 (TISTR 2453) by optimizing nutrients, evaluating antibacterial activity, assessing synergy with vancomycin, and testing the cytotoxicity and wound healing effects on human keratinocytes. The results showed that when the SA-14 strain was cultured in half-formula Luria-Bertani broth (LB/2) with added carbon sources (glucose, sucrose, and lactose), all cultures reached the late log phase at 24 h, and antibacterial activity was exhibited against various MRSA strains after 48 h, except for the LB/2 supplemented with glucose, likely due to carbon catabolite repression. …”
