Constructed wetlands (CWs) are widely considered as resilient systems able to adapt to environmental perturbations. Little attention has been paid, however, to microbial dynamics when CWs withstand and recover from external shock. To understand the resilience of CWs, this study investigated rhizosphere microbial dynamics when CWs were subjected to influent COD perturbation (200 mg/L-1600 mg/L). Results demonstrated that CWs had strong adaptability to different influent perturbations, characterized by transitions from fluctuating to stable pollutant removal. Microbial analysis showed that rhizosphere microorganisms competed for niches in response to increased COD concentrations, and Trichococcus played key roles in resisting concentration perturbations. Structural equation modeling indicated that rhizosphere community succession and microbial energy metabolism were shaped by pH and DO. These findings provide insights into the mechanism for CW stability maintenance when facing concentration perturbations.

The leaf surface, known as the phylloplane, presents an oligotrophic and heterogeneous environment due to its topography and uneven distribution of resources. Although it is a challenging environment, leaves support abundant bacterial communities that are spatially structured. However, the factors influencing these spatial distribution patterns are not well understood.

A major risk to the poultry industry is antimicrobial resistance (AMR), specifically with regard to Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infections. The sensitivity patterns of 100 MG isolates to biocides and antibiotics were examined in this study to clarify the interactions between antimicrobial agents and resistance mechanisms. The antimicrobial activity against MG was assessed using broth microdilution, and the results are shown as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for each strain, the MIC distribution (range), the MIC, and/or the MIC.

The microbiomes of host organisms and their direct source environments are closely linked and key for shaping microbial community dynamics. The relationship between these linked dynamics is largely unexplored because source substrates are usually unavailable. To address this current knowledge gap, we employed bacteriovorous nematodes as a unique model system, for which source substrates like rotting apples can be easily collected.
