[Response of Photosynthetic Bacterial Community to Cadmium Contamination in Paddy Soil].

Heavy metal pollution in rice fields leads to huge losses in rice yield every year and is thus of increasing concern. Therefore, it is important to understand the changes in the microecology and physicochemical properties of paddy soil under different levels of cadmium pollution. The purpose of this study was to investigate the response of the photosynthetic bacterial community in paddy soil to different cadmium pollution levels using 16S sequencing technology.

[Effects of PSB06 on Pepper Rhizosphere Microbial Community Structure].

The use of biological pesticide can greatly reduce the soil pollution in the environment. Exploring the effect of biological pesticide on community diversity and distribution of pathogenic bacteria will provide theoretic basis for subsequent researches on biological pesticide micro-ecological control. In order to explore the microbial ecological mechanism of pepper phytophthora blight, this research compared the difference of microbial diversity between rhizosphere soil of infected and healthy plants, and the effects of PSB06 on microbial diversities of plant rhizosphere soil were investigated using Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology.

Effect of aquaporin-4 deficiency on intravenous anaesthetic induced hypnotic effects in mice.

The deficiency of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) has been reported to alter release of neurotransmitters in the mouse brain. However, the functional relevance of AQP4 in mediating essential components of the general anaesthetic state is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of AQP4 in general anaesthesia in mice lacking AQP4.
