Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. from south Vietnam (Lepidoptera: Immidae)
No full textDuring a faunal survey of Lepidoptera in 2023, Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. was discovered and represents the first record of the genus in Vietnam. A single male specimen was collected from atransitional biotype between mangrove and semi-deciduous dry lowland forest habitats near the coast. The newspecies is distinguished from Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 and I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 by differences in wing pattern and genitalia morphology.Während einer faunistischen Untersuchung von Lepidoptera im Jahr 2023 wurde Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. entdeckt und stellt den ersten Nachweis der Gattung in Vietnam dar. Ein einzelnes männliches Exemplar wurde in einem Übergangs biotop zwischen Mangroven und halbtrockenen Tieflandwäldern in Küstennähe gesammelt. Die neue Art unterscheidet sich von Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 und I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 durch Unterschiede in der Flügelzeichnung und der Morphologie der Genitalien.Durante un estudio faunístico de Lepidóptera en 2023, se descubrió Imma phuocbuu Buchsbaum, Chi & Chen, sp. nov. y representa el primer registro del género en Vietnam. Se recogió un único espécimen macho en un biotipo de transición entre los hábitats de manglar y de bosque seco semi-caducifolio de tierras bajas cerca de la costa. La nueva especie se distingue de Imma transversella (Snellen, 1878), I. semicitra Meyrick, 1937 e I. semiclara Meyrick, 1929 por diferencias en el patrón alar y la morfología de la genitalia

Cyanobactericidal effect of Rhodococcus sp. isolated from eutrophic lake on Microcystis sp
No full textA bacterium, which was observed in all cultivations of Microcystis sp., was isolated and designated as Rhodococcus sp. KWR2. The growth of bloom-forming cyanobacteria, including four strains of Microcystis aeruginosa and Anabaena variabilis, was suppressed by up to 75-88% by 2% (v/v) culture broth of KWR2 after 5 days. But KWR2 did not inhibit eukaryotic algae, Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus sp. An extracellular algicidal substance produced by KWR2 showed a cyanobactericidal activity of 94% and was water-soluble with a molecular weight of lower than 8 kDa.open
