With culture-independent approach, microbial total DNA was directly extracted from Pachychalina sp. Using the total microbial DNA as template, archaeal 16S rDNAs were amplified by PCR with universal primers. Amplified products were cloned into T-vector and secondarily amplified by PCR. Then the secondarily amplified products were purified to be further characterized by termed ARDRA (amplified rDNA restriction analysis). According to the enzyme restriction mapping, the apparent difference among them were disclosed. Furthermore eight archaeal cloned partial sequences were acquired and built up a phylogenetic tree. In the phylogenetic tree, the eight archaea belonged to Methanogenium organophilum and Methanoplanus petrolearius, but the 16S rDNAs similarities among them and those archaea registered in RDP Database didn't excess to 90%. It means that they maybe represent some novel archaeal groups.

Free-living amoebae (FLA) are found in diverse environments, such as soils, rivers, and seas. Hence, they can be used as bioindicators to assess the water quality based solely on their presence. In this study, we determined the presence of FLA in river water by filtering water samples collected from various sites and culturing the resulting filtrates.

Lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) are low-growing, evergreen shrubs of cooler, northern regions of North America and Europe. These plants produce berries that are unique in flavor, bear high economic significance, and play a vital role in maintaining the diversity of the northern ecosystems (Kowalska, 2021).

Bacteria are regarded as predisposing and perpetuating factors causing otitis externa (OE), whereas auricular anatomy is a predisposing factor. This study aims to investigate bacterial populations in the external auditory canals of healthy dogs and dogs with OE. Four categories of ear swabs included healthy erect-ear dogs, erect-ear dogs with OE, healthy pendulous-ear dogs and pendulous-ear dogs with OE.

Background: Although the link between gut microbiota and depression has been suggested, changes of gut microbiota vary largely among individuals with depression.
Aims: Explore the heterogeneity of microbiota-gut-brain axis and new pathogenic characteristics in murine models of depression.
Methods: Adolescent female mice were randomly divided into control (CON) group (n=10), chronic unexpected mild stress (CUMS) group (n=15) and dexamethasone (DEX) group (n=15).
