Deciphering the promotion and inhibition of bicarbonate fertilization on microalgal activity and nutrient uptake from wastewater.

Microalgal bioremediation is a promising alternative for biological wastewater treatment but constrained by low microalgal activities. Here, bicarbonate fertilization was introduced to enhance microalgal wastewater treatment, with systematic investigations of its biphasic dose-dependent effects on microalgal activity and nutrient uptake. The results showed that moderate inorganic carbon (MIC, 0.

Bacterial Microbiome Differences between the Roots of Diseased and Healthy Chinese Hickory () Trees.

is an important economic nut tree that is endemic to eastern China. As such, outbreaks of root rot disease in result in reduced yields and serious economic losses. Moreover, while soil bacterial communities play a crucial role in plant health and are associated with plant disease outbreaks, their diversity and composition in are not clearly understood.

Soil bacterial community structure of mixed bamboo and broad-leaved forest based on tree crown width ratio.

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachysheterocycla (Carr.) Mitford cv. Pubescens) is an economically valuable plant in bamboo production areas of southern China, for which the management mode is crucial for improving the comprehensive benefits of bamboo forest stands.

The conserved surface M-protein SiMA of Streptococcus iniae is not effective as a cross-protective vaccine against differing capsular serotypes in farmed fish.

Streptococcus iniae causes invasive infections in fresh and saltwater fish and occasional zoonoses. Vaccination against S. iniae is complicated by serotypic variation determined by capsular polysaccharide.
