Based on a total of 6,295,650 sequences from the V3 and V4 regions (16S ribosomal RNA), the composition of the microorganism communities in the water of three (Decapoda, Whiteleg shrimp; Soc Trang, Vietnam) ponds were identified. (10-20.29%), (13.26-24.28%), and (2.6-19.29%) were the most abundant genera. The total ammonia (TAN) concentration ( = 0.025) and temperature ( = 0.015) were significantly correlated with the relative abundance of in two bacterial communities (ST1, ST4), whereas the predictive functions of microorganism communities based on 16S rRNA gene data was estimated using Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUST), which showed that nitrogen metabolism was significantly negatively correlated ( = 0.049) with TAN concentration. The abundance of and nitrogen metabolism increased with a decrease in TAN concentration. The correlation between TAN concentration and the abundance of was followed by the isolation, and heterotrophic nitrifying performance analysis was used to confirm our findings. Six strains capable of heterotrophic nitrification were isolated from the three water samples and showed a complete reduction of 100 mg/L NHCl during a 96-h cultivation. These results indicate the potential of applying in shrimp ponds for water treatment.

Peptide-based hydrogels form a kind of promising material broadly used in biomedicine and biotechnology. However, the correlation between their hydrogen bonding dynamics and mechanical properties remains uncertain. In this study, we found that the adoption of β-sheet and α-helix secondary structures by ECF-5 and GFF-5 peptides, respectively, could further form fiber networks to immobilize water molecules into hydrogels.

Native ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECMF) are generally more effective than non-native ECMF in facilitating the phytoremediation of heavy metal (HM) ions from contaminated soils. This study aimed to investigate the contributions of four ECMF species-, , , and -that were isolated from mining areas to the growth, water status, photosynthesis, and metallothionein gene expression of exposed to varying concentrations of lead (Pb). The experiment lasted two months and involved .

As one of the provinces with the largest number of national forest cities, all prefecture-level cities in Guangdong Province have joined the campaigns of building forest cities. Mastering the spatial and temporal variations of ecological environment quality (EEQ) in Guangdong Province is conducive to the benign interaction and coordinated development of urban construction and ecosystem. We used the water benefit-based ecological index (WBEI) to achieve rapid monitoring of EEQ in Guangdong Province, utilized the standard deviation ellipse and gravity center migration, Theil-Sen Median trend method and Mann-Kendall test to explore the spatial distribution disparities and trends, and analyzed the coupling coordination between EEQ and urbanization.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a malignant tumor that begins in the cells of the bladder, characterized by poor cell differentiation and strong invasion capacity, with a high incidence rate. Identifying key molecules that enhance BC cells' cisplatin sensitivity can help improve the clinical efficacy of BC treatment. Hence, this study aimed to determine the expression level of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) ADAM Metallopeptidase with Thrombospondin Type 1 Motif 9 Antisense RNA 1 () in BC and explore its related mechanism underlying the amplification of cisplatin sensitivity.

The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is a transmembrane protein found in microglia within the brain, and its soluble form (sTREM2) has been shown to reduce amyloid deposition. Whether elevated TREM2-mediated microglial activity decreases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess whether high cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of sTREM2 attenuate the risk of APOE ε4-associated amyloid pathology.
