Cadmium Pollution Deteriorates the Muscle Quality of Labeo rohita by Altering Its Nutrients and Intestinal Microbiota Diversity.

Biol Trace Elem Res

The detrimental effects of cadmium (Cd), a hazardous heavy metal, on fish have triggered global concerns. While the ecotoxicity of Cd on fish has been investigated, the impact of Cd on muscle quality and its correlation with the gut microbiota in fish remains scarce. To comprehensively uncover Cd effects based on preliminary muscle Cd deposition, relevant studies, and ecological Cd pollution data, we exposed Labeo rohita to Cd under concentrations of 0.

Time-resolved compositional and dynamics analysis of biofilm maturation and dispersal via solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

NPJ Biofilms Microbiomes

Institute of Drug Discovery Technology, Ningbo University, Ningbo, 315211, Zhejiang, China.

Dispersal plays a crucial role in the development and ecology of biofilms. While extensive studies focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing this process, few have characterized the associated temporal changes in composition and structure. Here, we employed solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to achieve time-resolved characterization of Bacillus subtilis biofilms over a 5-day period.

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are well-acknowledged to accelerate microalgal biofilm formation, yet specific role of stratified EPS is unknown. Bacterial biofilm stratified EPS could enrich phosphorus, whether microalgal biofilm stratified EPS could also realize phosphorus or nitrogen enrichment remains unclarified. This study investigated microalgae dominant biofilm growth characteristics and nutrients removal via inoculating microalgae and stratified bacterial EPS at various microalgae:bacteria ratios.

The spread of Porcine contagious pleuropneumonia (PCP), a severe disease that occurs in pigs caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), remains a threat to the porcine farms and has been known to cause severe economic losses. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute-phase protein rapidly expressed in response to infection and inflammation in vertebrates. This study aimed to investigate the function of SAA3 in bacterial infections.

Apolipoprotein E (APOE) is distributed across various human tissues and plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. Recent investigations have uncovered an additional facet of APOE's functionality, revealing its role in host defense against bacterial infections. To assess the antibacterial attributes of APOE3 and APOE4, we conducted antibacterial assays using P.
