A coccobacilli-shaped proteobacterium, designated strain SYSU XM001, was isolated from an activated sludge sample collected from JiMei sewage treatment plant, Xiamen, PR China. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SYSU XM001 shared less than 92 % sequence identities with members of the class , with highest sequence similarity to TH1-2 (91.6 %; family , order ). The strain exhibited growth at 25-37 °C, pH 7.0-9.0 and in the presence of up to 1 % (w/v) NaCl. Its chemotaxonomic features included ubiquinone-10 as the respiratory isoprenologue, iso-C, 10-methyl C TSBA and anteiso-C as major cellular fatty acids and monoglycosyldiglyceride, glucuronopyranosyldiglyceride and two unidentified glycolipids as the main polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was determined to be 62.9 % (draft genome). Analyses of the phylogenetic data and differences in the chemotaxonomic and biochemical features from related genera in the family indicated that strain SYSU XM001 merits representation of a novel species of a novel genus, for which the name gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of is SYSU XM001 (=CGMCC 1.16661=KCTC 62915).

Background: Mangrove plants growing in the high salt environment of coastal intertidal zones colonize a variety of microorganisms in the phyllosphere, which have potential salt-tolerant and growth-promoting effects. However, the characteristics of microbial communities in the phyllosphere of mangrove species with and without salt glands and the differences between them remain unknown, and the exploration and the agricultural utilization of functional microbial resources from the leaves of mangrove plants are insufficient.
Results: In this study, we examined six typical mangrove species to unravel the differences in the diversity and structure of phyllosphere microbial communities between mangrove species with or without salt glands.

Ochetobius elongatus, a critically endangered species found in the Yangtze River was the subject of our study in which we leveraged PacBio and Hi-C data to assemble a chromosome-scale genome. This assembly comprises 24 pseudo-chromosomes, yielding a genome size of 883.1 Mb with a scaffold N50 length of 35.

COVID-19 reopening of China in the context of the highly transmissible Omicron variant has resulted in an unprecedented wave of infections, placing significant strain on healthcare systems and giving rise to a range of psychological responses, including perceptions of the pandemic's threat, emotional reactions, and prosocial intentions amid moral conflicts over medical resource scarcity and evolving public health responses. This study employed a comprehensive approach integrating surveys, behavioral experiments, and agent-based modeling (ABM) to examine these psychological impacts of COVID-19 reopening. A total of 1,675 participants from 34 Chinese provinces completed the surveys, with 587 also undertaking the reversal-learning task.

Two siderophore-synthesizing species SYSU BS000078 and SYSU BS000231 were isolated from the black soil collected from fields located in Heilongjiang province, China. The results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these two strains showed the highest sequence similarity to Parafrigoribacterium mesophilum KCTC 19311 (98.61 % and 98.

Two novel strains, SYSU D00514 and SYSU D00778, were isolated from desert soil in the Gurbantunggut Desert, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regions, PR China. SYSU D00514 and SYSU D00778 were aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. SYSU D00514 grew at temperatures ranging from 4 to 37 °C (optimum, 28-30 °C), at pH 6.
