Thirty actinomycetes were isolated from soil samples and screened for their ability to modify the structure of aspidospermine. One actinomycete culture converted aspidospermine into O-demethylaspidospermine but failed to modify N-deacetylaspidospermine, N-ethyl-N-deacetylaspidospermine, 7-methoxyindole, and 7-methoxytryptophan.

Trophic interactions in micro-food webs, such as those between nematodes and their bacterial prey, affect nitrogen cycling in soils, potentially changing nitrous oxide (NO) production and consumption. However, how nematode-mediated changes in soil bacterial community composition affect soil NO emissions is largely unknown. Here, microcosm experiments are performed with the bacterial feeding nematode Protorhabditis to explore the potential of nematodes in regulating microbial communities and thereby soil NO emissions.

Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed oncological treatment by modulating immune responses against tumors. However, their efficacy is subject to inter-patient variability and is associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The human gut microbiota, a complex microbial ecosystem, is increasingly implicated in modulating responses to ICIs.

Azurin, a bacterial blue-copper protein, has garnered significant attention as a potential anticancer drug in recent years. Among twenty Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, we identified one isolate that demonstrated potent and remarkable azurin synthesis using the VITEK 2 system and 16S rRNA sequencing. The presence of the azurin gene was confirmed in the genomic DNA using specific oligonucleotide primers, and azurin expression was also detected in the synthesized cDNA, which revealed that the azurin expression is active.

Black and odorous waters (BOWs) are a serious environmental problem frequently reported over the past few decades. Microorganisms are identified as implementors of the black and odorous phenomenon, which play a crucial role in the decomposition and transformation of pollutants within the BOWs. However, the information on the role of microorganisms in BOWs remains elusive.

The accumulation of phosphorus (P) in soil profiles of intensive cropland and the losses caused by runoff and leaching have been widely concerned. However, the loss of soil P due to shallow groundwater table (SGT) fluctuations driven by seasonal changes is often neglected, and the migration and transformation mechanisms of soil P are still unclear. On the basis of the long-term monitoring of cropland soil P accumulation and SGT fluctuations around Erhai Lake, the characteristics of soil P loss driven by SGT fluctuations and the corresponding mechanisms were investigated through a 260-day microcosm experiment.
