Whole-genome sequence of Pseudomonas sp. strain HOU2 isolated from dangshen (Codonopsis javanica) roots.

Objectives: This study aims to generate a de novo complete whole-genome assembly of Pseudomonas sp. strain HOU2, which is an endophytic bacterium isolated from dangshen roots that shows to improve the growth of in vitro dangshen plants. Further investigation of the whole genome of Pseudomonas sp.

Fluoxetine and Sertraline Inhibit Height Growth and Growth Hormone Signaling During Puberty.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of fluoxetine and sertraline on height growth and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) during puberty.

Methods: In this 6-month cohort study, electronic medical records were used to identify 8- to 15-year-old participants, within 1 month of starting fluoxetine (n = 39) or sertraline (n = 27), and sexual maturation stages 2 to 4 were confirmed. Conditions that interfere with height growth led to exclusion.

Seasonal Change of Sediment Microbial Communities and Methane Emission in Young and Old Mangrove Forests in Xuan Thuy National Park.

Microbial communities in mangrove forests have recently been intensively investigated to explain the ecosystem function of mangroves. In this study, the soil microbial communities under young (<11 years-old) and old (>17 years-old) mangroves have been studied during dry and wet seasons. In addition, biogeochemical properties of sediments and methane emission from the two different mangrove ages were measured.

Techno-economic Analysis and Optimization of Intensified, Large-Scale Hydrogen Production with Membrane Reactors.

Steam methane reforming (SMR) currently supplies 76% of the world's hydrogen (H) demand, totaling ∼70 million tonnes per year. Developments in H production technologies are required to meet the rising demand for cleaner, less costly H. Therefore, palladium membrane reactors (Pd-MR) have received significant attention for their ability to increase the efficiency of traditional SMR.
