Article Synopsis
- - The research investigates how applying phosphogypsum and rice cultivation (PRC) affects soil properties and bacterial communities in saline-alkali paddy fields in Songnen Plain, China, which is crucial for food security and agricultural advancement.
- - Results indicate that PRC significantly improves soil conditions by reducing salinity, enhancing nutrient efficiency, and increasing enzyme activity related to carbon and nutrient cycling.
- - The study finds that after years of PRC application, soil quality continues to enhance, suggesting a sustainable approach to managing saline-alkali land that boosts agricultural productivity and ecosystem health.
Article Synopsis
- Gut microbiota play a crucial role in metabolism, nutrient absorption, and immune regulation, but there are challenges in studying them, particularly in localization and tracking.
- Two new fluorescent probes, EF and 6F, were developed to label both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria effectively, with low toxicity at concentrations up to 200 μM.
- 6F shows improved hydrophilicity and fluorescence compared to EF, making it preferable for imaging, and both probes demonstrate better biocompatibility than existing options, enhancing research possibilities in gut microbiota studies.
Background: Declines in plant biodiversity often have negative consequences for plant community productivity, and it becomes increasingly acknowledged that this may be driven by shifts in soil microbial communities. So far, the role of fungal communities in driving tree diversity-productivity relationships has been well assessed in forests. However, the role of bacteria and archaea, which are also highly abundant in forest soils and perform pivotal ecosystem functions, has been less investigated in this context.

Intestinal flora plays a critical role in nutrient absorption, improving health and protecting the host from pathogens. We therefore explored the variation and maintenance of intestinal flora in SPF chicks in order to better understand the composition of intestinal microflorain SPF chickens, and provide reference for the study of intestinal flora of SPF experimental animals.
