Mimicking seasonal changes in light-dark cycle and ambient temperature modulates gut microbiome in mice under the same dietary regimen.

To better adapt to seasonal environmental changes, physiological processes and behaviors are regulated seasonally. The gut microbiome interacts with the physiology, behavior, and even the diseases of host animals, including humans and livestock. Seasonal changes in gut microbiome composition have been reported in several species under natural environments.

Utilizing Cattle Manure Compost Increases Ammonia Monooxygenase A Gene Expression and Ammonia-oxidizing Activity of Both Bacteria and Archaea in Biofiltration Media for Ammonia Deodorization.

Malodorous emissions are a crucial and inevitable issue during the decomposition of biological waste and contain a high concentration of ammonia. Biofiltration technology is a feasible, low-cost, energy-saving method that reduces and eliminates malodors without environmental impact. In the present study, we evaluated the effectiveness of compost from cattle manure and food waste as deodorizing media based on their removal of ammonia and the expression of ammonia-oxidizing genes, and identified the bacterial and archaeal communities in these media.

F-type complete mitochondrial genomes of two species, and (Bivalvia; Unionoida; Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis.

We have sequenced the female type (F-type) complete mitochondrial genomes of two species, and (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny. Complete mitochondrial genomes (, 15,954 bp, LC498622; , 15,961 bp, LC498621) contain 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using the 13 PCGs including the two species were performed.

The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater mussel (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida) from Tochigi Prefecture, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis.

We have sequenced the female-type (F-type) complete mitochondrial genome of (Gonideinae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome (16,803 bp; LC505454) contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using complete F-type mitochondrial genomes of 56 Unionida species revealed the phylogenetic position of in Unionidae.

The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater mussel (Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis.

We have sequenced the female type (F-type) mitochondrial genome of (Unioninae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny using complete mitochondrial genome sequences. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome (15,779 bp; LC496352) contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using complete F-type mitochondrial genomes from 15 Unioninae species including from China and Korea were performed.
