Maternal nutritional status plays a crucial role in embryonic development and has persistent effects on postnatal chicks. Vitamin C (VC) plays an important role in embryonic and postnatal development involved in nutri-epigenetics. The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding (IOF) of VC on embryonic development, egg hatching time, and chick rectal temperature.

Nitrogen and phosphorus depositions and global warming have continuously intensified, impacting soil respiration. However, the response mechanisms of soil respiration rate (R) and its temperature sensitivity (Q) to nitrogen and phosphorus depositions are still unclear, especially for riparian zones. Intact Fluvisols were collected at different water-level elevations (150, 160, 170, and 180 m) of the riparian zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China and incubated under 20 and 30 °C with additions of nitrogen (36 kg N ha yr), phosphorus (0.

Viruses are considered to regulate bacterial communities and terrestrial nutrient cycling, yet their effects on bacterial metabolism and the mechanisms of carbon (C) dynamics during dissolved organic matter (DOM) mineralization remain unknown. Here, we added active and inactive bacteriophages (phages) to soil DOM with original bacterial communities and incubated them at 18 or 23 °C for 35 days. Phages initially (1-4 days) reduced CO efflux rate by 13-21% at 18 °C and 3-30% at 23 °C but significantly ( < 0.

Cross-protection occurs when exposure to one stressor confers heightened tolerance against a different stressor. Alternatively, exposure to one stressor could result in reduced tolerance against other stressors. Although cross-protection has been documented in a wide range of taxa at juvenile and adult life stages, whether early developmental exposure to a stressor confers cross-protection or reduced tolerance to other stressors later in life through developmental plasticity remains largely unexplored.

Background: Microbial cholesterol oxidase (ChoX) has wide clinical and industrial applications; therefore, many efforts are being made to identify promising sources. This study aimed to isolate a novel ChoX-producing bacterial strain from whey samples.
Results: The most efficient strain was selected based on extracellular ChoX-producing ability and characterized as Escherichia fergusonii (E.
