Seasonal temperature-fluctuation has been regarded as a key environmental factor affecting rural biogas fermentation yields. The present study investigated the impact of seasonal temperature-fluctuation on operating-temperatures and biogas production in rural household digesters at Qinghai Plateau and revealed the related changes in microbial diversity and community structure by 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing (HTS) analysis. Our results showed closely positive correlation between operating-temperatures and biogas production. HTS analysis indicated the highest diversity for bacteria community in autumn (at highest operating-temperatures) and late winter (at lowest operating-temperatures) and for archaea community only in autumn. HTS analysis classified bacteria into 21 phyla and 346 genera with the most predominant phyla Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria (> 72.4% in total) and the most predominant genera Proteiniphilum, Clostridium sensustricto 1, Petrimonas, Pseudomonas and Fastidiosipila (37.09-38.61% in total). HTS analysis also revealed two main archaea orders (Methanomicrobiales and Methanobacteriales) and one predominant genus Methanogenium to support plateau biogas fermentation. Especially, a remarkable impact of temperature on the community abundances of bacteria phyla Synergistetes and archaea genera Methanogenium and Thermogymnomonas was observed, and such microbial community structure changes were positively consistent with the biogas production. The present work provided the first set of evidences to link temperature-controlled modulation of microbial community structure with rural household biogas production at Qinghai Plateau.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for deviating from their daily treatment regimen due to significant time burden, complicated daily therapies, and life stressors. Developing patient-centric, effective, engaging, and practical behavioral interventions is vital to help sustain therapeutically meaningful self-management.

Objective: This study aimed to devise and refine a patient-centered telecoaching intervention to foster self-management in AYA with CF using a combination of intervention development approaches, including an evidence- and theory-based approach (ie, applying existing theories and research evidence for behavior change) and a target population-centered approach (ie, intervention refinement based on the perspectives and actions of those individuals who will use it).

Marijuana use in adolescence is associated with significant adverse outcomes. Romantic relationships are an important context for marijuana use. Prior research suggests a bi-directional relationship between marijuana use and relationship functioning; however, the complex interplay between adolescent relationship dynamics and marijuana use remains unclear.

Effects of Different Ionic Liquids on Microbial Growth and Microbial Communities' Structure of Soil.

Bull Environ Contam Toxicol

College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Donghua University, Shanghai, 201620, China.

Ionic liquids (ILs) are widely used "green solvent" as they have a low vapor pressure and can replace volatile solvents in industry. However, ILs are difficult to biodegrade and are potentially harmful to the environment. This study, herein, investigated the toxicity of three imidazole ILs ([CMIM]Cl, [CMIM]Br, and [CDMIM]Br) towards soil microorganisms.

Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium to nitrate via nitrite, links nitrogen fixation and nitrogen loss processes, playing key roles in coastal nitrogen cycle. However, few studies have simultaneously examined both ammonia-oxidizing and nitrite-oxidizing microbes. This work investigated the abundance and community structure of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) using archaeal amoA gene, bacterial amoA gene, and NOB nxrB gene, respectively, through q-PCR and Sanger sequencing along the Changjiang Estuary salinity gradient.
