We determined the prevalence and molecular characteristics of -positive () isolated from duck-fish polyculture farms in Guangzhou, China. A total of 914 strains were isolated from 2008 duck and environmental samples (water, soil and plants) collected from four duck fish polyculture farms between 2017 and 2019. Among them, 196 strains were CTX-M-1G-positive strains by PCR, and 177 (90%) -producing strains were -positive. MIC results showed that the 177 -positive strains were highly resistant to ciprofloxacin, ceftiofur and florfenicol, with antibiotic resistance rates above 95%. Among the 177 strains, 37 strains carrying the F18:A-:B1 plasmid and 10 strains carrying the F33:A-:B- plasmid were selected for further study. Pulse field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) combined with S1-PFGE, Southern hybridization and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis showed that both horizontal transfer and clonal spread contributed to dissemination of the gene among the . was located on different F18:A-:B1 plasmids with sizes between ~76 and ~173 kb. In addition, the presence of with other resistance genes (e.g., , , , , and ) on the same F18:A-:B1 plasmid may result in co-selection of resistance determinants and accelerate the dissemination of in . In summary, the F18:A-:B1 plasmid may play an important role in the transmission of in , and the continuous monitoring of the prevalence and transmission mechanism of in duck-fish polyculture farms remains important.

Introduction: Secondary forests and coffee cultivation systems with shade trees might have great potential for carbon sequestration as a means of climate change adaptation and mitigation. This study aimed to measure carbon stocks in coffee plantations under different managements and secondary forest systems in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest (San Martín Region).

Methods: The carbon stock in secondary forest trees was estimated using allometric equations, while carbon stocks in soil, herbaceous biomass, and leaf litter were determined through sampling and laboratory analysis.

Background: The biofloc system (BFS) provides a sustainable aquaculture system through its efficient in situ water quality maintenance by the microbial biomass, besides continuous availability of these protein-rich microbes as feed to enhance growth and immunity of the reared organism. This study explores the gill architecture, growth performance, digestive enzyme activity, intestinal microbial composition, and histology of three freshwater fish species, Puntius gonionotus, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, and Heteropneustus fossilis reared in biofloc based polyculture system.

Results: The three species in T2 showed significantly higher WG and SGR, followed by T1 and T3.

Article Synopsis
  • Plants connect above-ground and below-ground microbial communities, influencing each other through root interactions and foliar endophytes.
  • Research shows that diverse plant communities enrich soil nutrients, but this benefit can diminish with the use of foliar fungicides, which disrupt fungal communities.
  • The study indicates that soil nutrient differences lead to varying microbial phenotypes based on plant richness, where polycultures exhibit unique resistance and resource use behaviors compared to monocultures, necessitating more research on soil resource diversity.
