A novel bacterial strain, designated as WHS-Z9, was isolated from marine sponge sp. collected from Weihai (37° 25' N, 121° 58' E), Shandong Province, PR China. Cells of strain WHS-Z9 were Gram-stain-positive, non-spore-forming, non-motile, short-rod-shaped and light yellow-pigmented. The strain could grow at 10-40 °C (optimum, 20 °C), pH 4.5-9.5 (optimum, pH 8.5) and 2-14 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 4 %). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain WHS-Z9 showed 98.7 % similarity to that of NBRC 14811, 98.5 % to FXJ8.269 and 98.4 % to BBH7. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain WHS-Z9 was clustered with o2. The whole genome of WHS-Z9 was approximately 4 217 721 bp in size with a G+C content of 65.2 %. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values among WHS-Z9 and other type strains were 83.3-85.5 % (ANI based on blast), 86.4-87.9 % (ANI based on MUMmer) and 41.9-57.5 % (dDDH). Percentage of conserved protein values between the genomes of strain WHS-Z9 and members of genera were 76.8-82.9 %, while the average amino acid identity (AAI) values were 83.7-87.0 %. The dDDH, ANI, AAI and POCP values were below the standard cut-off criteria for the delineation of bacterial species. The sole respiratory quinone in strain WHS-Z9 was MK-8(H), and the predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C and anteiso-C. The major polar lipids of WHS-Z9 consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol and glycolipid. The diagnostic cell-wall diamino acid of strain WHS-Z9 was -diaminopimelic acid. Based on the data obtained in this study, strain WHS-Z9 (=MCCC 1K07845=KCTC 49848) should be classified as the type strain of a novel species of the genus , for which the name sp. nov. is proposed.

Superbugs, as bacterial resistance species, resist known antibiotics. In this study, twenty novel 1,2,4-triazole-functionalized piperazine-stearic acid derivatives 6a-p were designed, synthesized, and characterized via spectroscopic analyses, evaluating their antimicrobial potential against clinically relevant bacterial and fungal strains. Notably, five derivatives (6a, 6c, 6m, 6n, and 6o) demonstrated superior antimicrobial efficacy compared to gentamicin standard, with compound 6n showing the most potent activity (MIC = 3.

Objective: No clinical standard exists for intraoperative fetal cardiac monitoring during maternal-fetal surgery for fetal myelomeningocele (fMMC). This pilot study explores the feasibility of using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE)-derived functional measurements to characterize cardiac performance throughout fetoscopic fMMC and compares these measures with other common intraoperative cardiac function parameters.
Methods: Continuous fetal echocardiography was performed during fetoscopic fMMC repair with fetal heart rate assessment every 2 minutes and a 4-chamber cine clip and mitral and tricuspid Doppler inflow patterns captured every 5 minutes.

The lack of self-recovery features and mechanical toughness has fundamentally limited the practical applications of ionic single-network hydrogels. Due to strong ionic interactions with Zr cation crosslinkers, intramolecular crosslinking nodes are found to evolve via the folding of alginate segments, revolutionizing alginate hydrogels with substantial self-recovery capability and enhanced mechanical strength. Although being restricted by like-charge repulsion still, this new crosslinking mechanism triples the reachable tensile strain of alginate/polyacrylamide double-network hydrogels, and largely improves self-recovery efficiency.

Hydrogels are soft and wet materials, but their applications are always limited by insufficient mechanical strength and toughness, and they are prone to freezing at low temperatures. In this study, we introduced an eco-friendly approach to developing wood-based hydrogels reinforced by the naturally aligned wood skeleton (WS) through the Hofmeister effect. The resulting wood-based composite hydrogels exhibited a high tensile strength of 20 MPa and a strain of 35 % in the longitudinal direction.
