Isolation of Soil Microorganisms Using iChip Technology.

J Vis Exp

January 2025

Charlottetown Research and Development Center, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada; Department of Chemistry, University of Prince Edward Island;

The iChip isolation technique uses an in-situ isolation device that increases the cultivability of previously unculturable microorganisms. Microorganisms are an important source of novel chemistries and potentially bioactive molecules. However, only 1% of environmental microorganisms can be cultured using conventional laboratory methods.

In-Depth Analysis of Soil Microbial Community Succession Model Construction under Microplastics Stress.

J Agric Food Chem

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Black Soils Conservation and Utilization, Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Changchun 130102, China.

Although microplastics (MPs) toxicity to soil microorganisms has been preliminarily explored, the underlying reasons affecting the direction of microbial community succession are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of MPs infer community assembly mechanisms through phylogenetic bin-based null model analysis, network models, and protein function prediction in five typical Northeast China five typical soils. The results show that microbial communities in soils with high organic matter exhibit a stronger response to MPs, with enhanced protein functionality, network regulation, and assembly processes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered as one of the most pressing public health challenges worldwide. Studies have shown significant differences in the gut microbiota between healthy individuals and T2DM patients, suggesting that gut microorganisms may play a key role in the onset and progression of T2DM. This review systematically summarizes the relationship between gut microbiota and T2DM, and explores the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms may alleviate T2DM.

Currently, there remains a debate regarding the functional microorganisms responsible for the quality formation of Guang Chenpi (GCP). Thus, the metabolite profiles and microbial diversity of GCP samples subjected to natural treatment versus those sterilized via electron beam irradiation were investigated over a three-year period. It was found the main constituents of GCP were influenced both by spontaneous changes and microbial activity.
