Aqueous-soluble hydrocarbons dissolve into the ocean's interior and structure deep-sea microbial populations influenced by natural oil seeps and spills. n-Pentane is a seawater-soluble, volatile compound abundant in petroleum products and reservoirs and will partially partition to the deep-water column following release from the seafloor. In this study, we explore the ecology and niche partitioning of two free-living Cycloclasticus strains recovered from seawater incubations with n-pentane and distinguish them as an open ocean variant and a seep-proximal variant, each with distinct capabilities for hydrocarbon catabolism.

However, little is known about perceptions of virtual care among older adults living with HIV.
Objective: This study aimed to understand the perceptions of older adults living with HIV regarding virtual care.
Article Synopsis
- Fungal fruit rots pose a significant threat to cranberry production, with multiple fungal genera implicated in rot across various locations in the USA, particularly affecting Oregon and Washington, which are key producers.
- The primary goal of the research was to analyze the specific types of fungal pathogens causing fruit rot in the cranberry farms of Oregon and Washington over a four-year period.
- Results showed a variety in yield and fungal pathogens from year to year, highlighting the prevalence of certain pathogens like Neofabraea actinidiae and established storage rots, which could impact both yield and storage practices in cranberry production.
