The present disclosure is directed to an airborne detection device, method, and system for analyzing an environmental air sample and detecting airborne pathogens. The device includes an analysis vial, and a biosensor electrode. The system further includes an external sampling device.

The technology provided herein relates to multiplex methods and kits for detecting different analytes in a sample in parallel by sequential signal-encoding of said analytes, as well as in vitro methods for screening, identifying and/or testing a substance and/or drug and in vitro methods for diagnosis of a disease, and an optical multiplexing system.

A transgenic cotton event, Gh_CSM63718, is provided. Transgenic plant cells, plant parts, plants, seeds, progeny plants, and agricultural and commodity products containing event Gh_CSM63718 are also provided. Recombinant DNA molecules unique to the event Gh_CSM63718, and methods of using and detecting Gh_CSM63718 are also provided. Cotton plants containing the event Gh_CSM63718 exhibit tolerance to glufosinate, -triketone HPPD inhibitors, dicamba, glyphosate, PPO inhibitors, and combinations of any thereof.

A method of detecting a presence, amount and/or type of a pathogenic organism in a substrate is provided. The method is effected by contacting a sample suspected as containing the pathogenic organism or a portion thereof with an electrode, thereafter contacting the electrode with an aptamer that selectively binds to said pathogenic organism; thereafter contacting the electrode with an agent that participates in an electrochemically detectable reaction and thereafter perform the electrochemical reaction while using the electrode. The electric signal produced by the reaction is indicative of a presence and/or amount of the pathogenic organism. Also provided are a sensing system and kits usable for practicing the method, and use of the method for determining a suitable agent for reducing a load of a pathogenic organism in a substrate.

The invention relates to a method of determining an association of a first plant with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), said method comprising comparing the amount of a blumenol in an aerial part of said first plant to the amount of said blumenol in an aerial part of a second plant, wherein said second plant belongs to the same species as said first plant, and wherein an increased amount is indicative of increased association in said first plant as compared to said second plant, and a decreased amount is indicative of decreased association.

Detecting at least one biomarker indicative of coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever) in a sample from a subject having or at risk for coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever).

The disclosure provides methods, compositions, and kits for enhanced detection of microbes in samples and monitoring of antimicrobial activity in a subject.
