Biotransformation of agar extraction waste into cultivation matrix using an adaptively evolved Paenibacillus mucilaginosus strain.
Article in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Industrial agar extraction waste (AEW), which consists of resistant K-rich perlite and agar-dominated seaweed residues, poses environmental challenges. In this study, we isolated K-solubilizing bacteria from an AEW storage yard and identified the adaptively evolved strain, ZK03-Aga1, with efficient K-solubilizing and agar-utilizing properties. Co-fermentation of ZK03-Aga1 with AEW significantly enhanced the production of oligosaccharides, K, and soluble solids. These products, combined with a commercial soilless matrix, form a composite matrix that has been validated for fertility through bok choy planting experiments. The results showed increased bok choy yield, energy, protein, trace element, and chlorophyll content. Bacterial community composition analysis indicated an increase in nitrogen-fixing and organic matter-degrading bacteria. This suggests that AEW nutrients, via ZK03-Aga1 fermentation, directly benefit crops, improving yield, quality, and microbial structure for sustainable fertility. This study presents an efficient method for reusing AEW and mitigating its environmental impacts.
