The influent quality is an important factor affecting the nutrients removal and operational stability of denitrifying phosphorus removal (DPR) system. This study investigated the effects of calcium ion (Ca) on the nutrients removal, nitrogen oxide (NO) release, microbial community, and quorum sensing in DPR system. Results showed that high accumulation of Ca had a significant impact on the carbon footprint of DPR system. Specifically, NO release reached 2.11 mg/L under Ca of 150 mg/L, which represented 214.93% increase compared to 0 mg/L of Ca. The DPR system demonstrated its adaptability to elevated Ca concentrations by modifying key enzyme activities involved in nitrogen and phosphorus removal, altering the microbial community structure, and adjusting the type and content of signal molecules. These findings hold significant implications for understanding the stress mechanism of Ca on DPR system, ultimately aiding in the maintenance and enhancement of stable operational performance in biological wastewater treatment process.

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a crucial crop in tropics and subtropics, primarily cultivated for its tuber. However, its foliage is rich in protein and can supply essential elements for ruminants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical compounds by Gas chromatography-MS (GC-MS) and the main phenolic by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) present in cassava foliage, along with the fermentation pattern using a semi-automated gas production (GP) system.

The GC hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is the major genetic cause of both amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (C9-ALS/FTD). Despite considerable efforts, the development of mouse models of C9-ALS/FTD useful for therapeutic development has proven challenging due to the intricate interplay of genetic and molecular factors underlying this neurodegenerative disorder, in addition to species differences. This study presents a robust investigation of the cellular pathophysiology and behavioral outcomes in a previously described AAV mouse model of C9-ALS expressing 66 GC hexanucleotide repeats.

Introduction: The gene cluster, encoding the sole iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly system in , was recently shown to be up-regulated in response to oxidative stressors and Fe limitation.
Methods: In this study, luciferase reporter fusion assays, electrophoretic gel mobility shift assays (EMSA) and transcription assays (IVT) were used to dissect the and acting factors that regulate the expression of .
Results And Discussion: Results showed deletion of , for the only Fur-family transcriptional regulator in , resulted in >5-fold increases in luciferase activity under the control of the promoter (P<0.

A G4C2 hexanucleotide repeat expansion in is the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (C9ALS/FTD). Bidirectional transcription and subsequent repeat-associated non-AUG (RAN) translation of sense and antisense transcripts leads to the formation of five dipeptide repeat (DPR) proteins. These DPRs are toxic in a wide range of cell and animal models.
