Phase separation of microemulsions occupies a key position in many applications, such as oil recovery, nanomaterial synthesis, and chemical reactions. Achieving an intelligent response is crucial to microemulsion development and application. For this reason, in this study, CO-responsive superamphiphilic molecules were developed as rapidly switchable oil-in-water microemulsions.

CO-enhanced oil recovery (CO-EOR) represents the foremost method for CO utilization. CO-EOR represents a favorable technical means of efficiently developing extra-low-permeability reservoirs.

However, the role of specific gut microbes in energy metabolism and fiber size of skeletal muscle in chickens remains largely unknown. In this study, we first performed cecal microbiota transplantation from Chinese indigenous Jingyuan chickens (JY) to Arbor Acres chickens (AA), to determine the effects of microbiota on skeletal muscle fiber and energy metabolism.

Thirty goats were divided into five groups: 0.00% probiotics (control), 0.

Recent studies showed that the gut microbiota contributes to the development of intestinal mucosal immunity. However, the mechanisms by which gut microbes regulate this process remain unclear.

First, the characteristics of skeletal muscle and the gut microbiota composition of the gut microbiota donors—Erhualian (EH) pigs (a native Chinese breed)—were studied. EH pigs had significantly higher fiber densities and thinner fiber diameters than Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire crossed (DLY) pigs (p < 0.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC), Clostridium butyricum (CB), and their mixture on B-vitamin production in the rumen and the growth performance of heat-stressed goats. Firstly, twelve Macheng × Boer crossed goats (24.
