Article Abstract

To reveal the genomic sequence characteristics of coxsackievirus A16 (CoxA16) strain isolated from patients with hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) in Henan province. A total of 406 samples were detected by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and cell-culture-based isolation of coxsackievirus A16. The whole genome of CoxA16 isolate was amplified using 10 pairs of primers, the sequences were analyzed and phylogenetic tree was generated by bioinformatics software. The full length of HN1162/HN/CHN/2010 genome was 7411bp. Compared with the other CoxA16 strains released in GenBank, the nucleotide similarities were 87.0-97.9%, 77.0%-95.4%, 80.3%-96.9%, 77.9% 96.2%, 80.5-100% in 5'UTR, P1, P2, P3, 3'UTR region, respectively; The similarities of nucleotide and amino acid sequences in VP1 region were 91.4%-96.4% and 99.3%-99.7%, respectively. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that CoxA16 strains isolated from Henan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou and Fujian belonged to the same cluster. The newly isolated CoxA16 from Henan province belonged to subgenotype C2/B-2. These results will have great significance in monitoring CoxA16 and for prevention and control of hand-foot-mouth disease.

Temperate estuary wetlands act as natural filters for microbiological contamination and have a profound impact on "One Health." However, knowledge of microbiological ecology security across the different habitats in temperate estuarine wetlands remains limited. This study employed meta-analysis to explore the characteristics of bacterial communities, potential pathogens, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) across three heterogeneous habitats (water, soil, and sediment) within the Liaohe Estuary landscape.

Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Food Quality and Safety, College of Food Science, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China.

A strain identified as was isolated from Chinese sauerkraut, and its exopolysaccharide (EPS) exhibited excellent in vitro cholesterol-lowering bioactivity. Besides, the whole genome of this strain and the structure characteristics of the purified EPS were investigated in this study. Z171 presented a strong EPS production capacity, with five nucleotide sugar biosynthesis pathways regulated by an EPS synthesis gene cluster.

Main-Group Sn Single Atoms on MoS for Selective Nitrite Electroreduction to Ammonia.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, Lanzhou 730070, China.

Electrocatalytic NO-to-NH reduction (NORR) offers an attractive way to remedy polluted NO and produce value-added NH. In this study, main-group Sn single atoms anchored on S-vacancy-rich MoS (Sn/MoS) are explored as a highly selective NORR catalyst. Combined theoretical computations and in situ spectroscopic measurements reveal that the isolated Sn sites of Sn/MoS can not only promote NO-to-NH activation and hydrogenation but also favor NH desorption and restrict H adsorption, thus enabling a highly selective NORR for NH synthesis.

Sitobion miscanthi is a wheat aphid species that can damage seriously agricultural production. The effective management of wheat aphids has depended on chemical insecticides. However, their wide application led to severe resistance of wheat aphids to some insecticides, and cytochrome P450 as a detoxifying enzyme plays a crucial role in the insecticide resistance.
