Future long-term space exploration missions require the implementation of circular life support systems for the supply of water, oxygen and food from mission wastes.Therefore, separation systems dealing with multi-phasic streams need to be addressed.The BioHarvest (BHV) study focused on solid/liquid separation in space with the aim to demonstrate t
Animal life in caves has fascinated researchers and the public alike because of the unusual and sometimes bizarre morphological adaptations observed in numerous troglobitic species.Despite their worldwide diversity, the adaptations of cave millipedes (Diplopoda) to a troglobitic lifestyle have rarely been examined.In this study, morphological chara
As a valuable tree nut, walnut is a well-known member of the Juglandaceae family.The fruit is made up of an outer green shell cover or husk, the middle shell which must be cracked to release the kernel, a thin layer known as skin or the seed coat, and finally, the kernel or meat.The nutritional importance of walnut fruit is ascribed to its kernel.T
In this study, we use a specimen from wild-caught individual to determine the complete mitochondrial genome of the Amur soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus maackii).The complete mitogenome of P.maackii has 16,258 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, cent dyyni two rRNAs, and one control region.The arrangement of genes
