Unlabelled: Nitrification is a core process in the global nitrogen (N) cycle mediated by ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms, including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) as a key player. Although much is known about AOA abundance and diversity across environments, the genetic drivers of the ecophysiological adaptations of the AOA are often less clearly defined. This is especially true for AOA within the genus , which have several unique physiological traits (e.

The strain is a Gram-staining positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, facultative anaerobic coccus. Optimal growth was observed at 30 °C, pH 8.

Additionally, note that the theory of m-polar fuzzy (mF) sets is proposed to tackle multipolar information in decision-making problems. To date, several aggregation tools have been widely investigated to tackle multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problems in an m-polar fuzzy environment, including m-polar fuzzy Dombi and Hamacher aggregation operators (AOs).

Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) and ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) are key members in aerobic environments to start the C and N cycles. Ammonia and methane are firstly oxidized by copper-binding metalloproteins, monooxygenases, and diverse iron and copper-containing enzymes that contribute to electron transportation in the energy gain pathway, which is evolutionally connected between MOB and AOM.

We propose an innovatory decision-making technique, namely, $ CSFN\mathcal{S}_{f} $-ELECTRE I method where the data and information are in modern modes. The proposed $ CSFN\mathcal{S}_{f} $-ELECTRE I method enjoys all the distinct and modern attributes of uncertain information which mainly comprises of parameterizations, neutral perspective, multi-valuation and two-dimensional representations.

The degree to which ARGs are transferred to other bacteria via mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including insertion sequences (ISs), plasmids, and phages, has a strong association with their likelihood to function as resistance transfer determinants. Consequently, understanding the structure and function of MGEs is paramount to assessing future health risks associated with ARGs in an environment subjected to strong antibiotic pressure.

The current study examines how energy use is related to technological innovation, human resources, energy pricing, economic development, and trade openness. For this context, the data set of OECD economies' indicators as mentioned above has been compiled for the period 1991-2019.

Most fish farms located on Jeju Island operate a flow-through system that pumps in seawater for fish farming and discharges it back to the ocean. To investigate the amount of ARGs that these fish farm effluents discharge into the marine environment, we conducted a metagenomic-based resistome analysis.

In this report, we compute M-polynomials for PAMAM dendrimers and polyomino chains. Moreover, by applying calculus, we compute nine important topological indices of under-study dendrimers and chains.

In quantitative structure⁻activity relationship QSARs, topological indices correlate the biological activity of compounds with their physical properties like boiling point, stability, melting point, distortion, and strain energy etc. In this paper, we determined the M-polynomials of the crystallographic structure of the molecules Cu₂O and TF₂ [].

These topological indices are numerical parameters that are associated with a structure and, in combination, determine the properties of the carbon nanocone. In this paper, we compute the closed form of the M-polynomial of generalized carbon nanocone and recover many important degree-based topological indices.
