Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the effects of a Gram-negative bacteria, commonly found in some beverages, on inflammation and gut health in a mouse model of colitis induced by DSS.
- - Results showed that this bacteria reduces symptoms of colitis, improves tissue health, and enhances gut microbiota balance by promoting beneficial microbial growth while suppressing harmful ones.
- - Additionally, it appears to boost the immune response by increasing certain protective genes and lowering inflammatory cytokines, suggesting its potential as a probiotic for bowel diseases.
Constraints on tree seedling establishment after fires: passing the germination bottlenecks.
Plant Biol (Stuttg)
January 2022
Persistence and colonization by tree species in an environment following a fire depends on the effects on seed germination and seedling development. We used seeds of Kielmeyera coriacea and Qualea parviflora as a model to test the effects of high temperatures on germination and initial development of tree seedlings. We exposed the seeds to heat flow (70, 100, 130, 150 or 170 °C) for 2 or 5 min and compared the germination with that of unheated seeds (control).
