Microbial eukaryotes are vital to global microbial diversity, but there is limited information about their composition and sources in contaminated surface waters. This study examined the pathogens and potential sources of microbial eukaryotic communities in polluted sink environments using the 18S rDNA amplicon sequencing combined with the fast expectation-maximization for microbial source tracking (FEAST) program. Six sampling sites were selected along the Pasig-Marikina-San Juan (PAMARISAN) River System, representing different locations within the waterway and classified as sinks (n = 12), whereas animal fecal samples collected from various farms were classified as sources (n = 29).

In the field of implantology, peri-implantitis is still a common complication of implant failure. Similar to periodontal disease, this kind of pathological condition is characterized by inflammation of the tissues surrounding dental implants or fillings. The sources of infection have been shown to be chronic periodontitis and poor maintenance of the communion.

Article Synopsis
  • - Pecan scab, caused by Venturia effusa, severely impacts pecan crops in the southeastern U.S., with resistance influenced by host genetics interacting with different disease forms.
  • - A transcriptome analysis of the 'Desirable' pecan cultivar revealed distinct gene expression patterns when exposed to both pathogenic and non-pathogenic scab isolates, particularly highlighting early defense mechanisms.
  • - The study identified key gene modules linked to defense responses, suggesting that the early activation of signal transduction and barrier formation are critical for resistance against the fungus, laying the groundwork for future resistance gene research.
