Biogeographic Patterns and Community Assembly Processes of Bacterioplankton and Potential Pathogens in Subtropical Estuaries in China.

Microbial communities in coastal waters are diverse and dynamic and play important roles in ecosystem functions and services. Despite the ecological impact of bacterioplankton or pathogens, little is known about whether bacterioplankton and pathogen communities exhibit similar patterns. Here, using 16S RNA gene amplicon sequencing, the geographic patterns and assembly processes of bacterioplankton and pathogen communities in 30 subtropical estuaries were studied.

Microbial diversity and biogeochemical cycling potential in deep-sea sediments associated with seamount, trench, and cold seep ecosystems.

Due to their extreme water depths and unique physicochemical conditions, deep-sea ecosystems develop uncommon microbial communities, which play a vital role in biogeochemical cycling. However, the differences in the compositions and functions of the microbial communities among these different geographic structures, such as seamounts (SM), marine trenches (MT), and cold seeps (CS), are still not fully understood. In the present study, sediments were collected from SM, MT, and CS in the Southwest Pacific Ocean, and the compositions and functions of the microbial communities were investigated by using amplicon sequencing combined with in-depth metagenomics.

Predicting the abundance of metal resistance genes in subtropical estuaries using amplicon sequencing and machine learning.

Heavy metals are a group of anthropogenic contaminants in estuary ecosystems. Bacteria in estuaries counteract the highly concentrated metal toxicity through metal resistance genes (MRGs). Presently, metagenomic technology is popularly used to study MRGs.

Mitochondrial genome of provides insights into the phylogeny of Labeoninae.

is an endemic species living in the karst regions of South China. In the present study, we firstly performed the complete mitogenome sequence of (Cyprinidae: Labeoninae). Results showed that the mitogenome was 16,596 bp in length and contained 37 genes (i.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of (Teleost: Balitoridae) and its phylogenetic analysis.

In this study, we assembled the complete mitochondrial genome of , based on high-throughput Illumina sequencing. The complete mitochondrial genome of was 16,576 bp in size. It was made up of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one control region.
