Complete genome sequence of a marine bacterium with two chromosomes, Pseudoalteromonas translucida KMM 520(T).

Bacteria with multiple chromosomes provide new insights into the evolution of multipartite genome structures and bacterial survival strategies. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of Pseudoalteromonas translucida KMM 520(T), which contains two circular chromosomes and comprises 4,147,593 bp with a mean G+C content of 40.1%.

Insight into the genome sequence of a sediment-adapted marine bacterium Neptunomonas antarctica S3-22(T) from Antarctica.

Neptunomonas antarctica S3-22(T) was isolated from marine sediment of the Nella Fjord, Antarctica. Here we report the draft genome sequence of N. antarctica, which comprises 4,568,828 bp with a mean G+C content of 45.

[Effect of timber moisture content and terrain conditions on the decay degree of Korean pine live standing trees].

Vast loss of timber resources can be reduced by preventing and controlling the decay of standing trees in forest management. Therefore, research concerning the effect of site conditions on decay of standing trees is particularly important for decay prevention and cure. A relevant study was carried out in Xiaoxing'anling Mountains on October, 2013, and thirty decayed and ten normal mature or postmature Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) live standing trees were selected as sample trees, respectively.

[Correlations between standing trees trunk decay degree and soil physical-chemical properties in Korean pine-broadleaved mixed forest in Xiao Xing'an Mountains of Northeast China].

Standing trees decay often causes vast loss of timber resources. To investigate the correlations between the standing trees decay and the site conditions is of importance to scientifically and reasonably manage forests and to decrease wood resources loss. By using Resistograph and meter ruler, a measurement was made on the decay degree of the trunk near root and the diameter at breast height (DBH) of 15 mature Korean pine standing trees in a Korean pine-broadleaved mixed forest in Xiao Xing' an Mountains in May, 2011.
