AI Article Synopsis

  • AM fungi play a crucial role in urban ecosystems by supporting sustainable development through their presence in soil microbes.
  • Research highlights how urban factors like human activity and vegetation affect the colonization and community structure of these fungi.
  • Future studies should focus on understanding how specific urban ecological challenges, like water shortages and heat islands, impact AM fungal communities.

Article Abstract

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, an important component of soil microbes, are of significance in maintaining the sustainable development of urban ecosystem. This paper summarized the characteristics of the colonization and community structure of AM fungi in urban ecosystems, and discussed the effects of urban ecological factors, e.g., human activities, vegetation re-establishment and maintenance, and urban soil status, on the colonization and community structure. It was considered that the researches on the community structure and function of AM fungi in urban ecosystems, such as the effects and mechanisms of the key urban ecological factors (e.g., water resource shortage and heat island effect) on the alternation of AM fungal community structure should be strengthened in the future.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the meanings and experiences of menopause for trans and gender diverse (TGD) people and how menopause affects clinical practice.

Methods: For this qualitative study in 2021-2022, a scoping literature review informed interview schedule development. Following email invitations, online semi-structured interviews were conducted in March-April 2021 in Australia with three prominent TGD community leaders (trans male, trans female, nonbinary person) and three experienced medical practitioners (general practitioner, endocrinologist, psychiatrist), which were audio-recorded and transcribed.

Dealing with oil spills is urgent, and bioaugmentation is a low-cost and environmentally friendly method. However, little research has been done on the remediation effect of bioaugmentation in oil-polluted environments with bottom seawater microorganisms. This work constructed the bottom seawater (S) group and surface seawater environment (T) group to study the oil degradation ability and the microbial community successions tendency with the function of integrated bacterial consortium.

Quinoline is a highly privileged scaffold with significant pharmacological potential. Introducing a carbonyl group into the quinoline ring generates a quinolone ring, which exhibits promising biological properties. Incorporating a carboxamide linkage at different positions within the quinoline and quinolone frameworks has proven an effective strategy for enhancing pharmacological properties, particularly anticancer potency.
