Microbially induced concrete corrosion (MICC) is an important problem in sewers. Here, small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene amplicon pyrosequencing was used to characterize MICC communities. Microbial community composition differed between wall- and ceiling-associated MICC layers. Acidithiobacillus spp. were present at low abundances, and the communities were dominated by other sulfur-oxidizing-associated lineages.

Somatic DNA Variants in Epilepsy Surgery Brain Samples from Patients with Lesional Epilepsy.

Epilepsy affects 50 million people worldwide and is drug-resistant in approximately one-third of cases. Even when a structural lesion is identified as the epileptogenic focus, understanding the underlying genetic causes is crucial to guide both counseling and treatment decisions. Both somatic and germline DNA variants may contribute to the lesion itself and/or influence the severity of symptoms.

Grazing intensity is one of the crucial anthropogenic activities on alpine grasslands. However, how grazing intensity affects soil microorganism diversities and their co-occurrence networks in alpine steppe remains uncertain. We carried out a controlled grazing experiment (null grazing, CK; moderate grazing, MG; and heavy grazing, HG) on a typical alpine steppe in the Lhasa River Basin, Central Tibet, China.

Seaweed is a valuable natural resource, but drift or beach-cast seaweed is considered a waste product. Although seaweed is traditionally used as an organic amendment, vermicomposting has the potential to transform the material into valuable organic fertilizer, thereby enhancing its microbial properties. This study aimed to investigate the dynamics of the taxonomic and functional bacterial communities in seaweed during the vermicomposting process by high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons.

This study evaluates the potential of using pond water eDNA to reflect the surrounding terrestrial plant communities, aiming to develop a sustainable, large-scale, and long-term monitoring method for plant diversity in forest ecosystems. Water samples were collected four times from two ponds with different vegetation types during the late spring to autumn seasons in Japan. eDNA was extracted from dissolved particles fractionated by sequential filtration through pore sizes of 200 µm, 5 µm, and 0.

Background: One in five sebaceous tumour (ST) patients may have Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary cancer predisposition. LS patients benefit from cancer surveillance and prevention programmes and immunotherapy. Whilst universal tumour mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency testing is recommended in colorectal and endometrial cancers to screen for LS, there is no consensus screening strategy for ST, leading to low testing rates and inequity of care.
