Although diverse microorganisms can remove ammonium and nitrate simultaneously, their metabolic mechanisms are not well understood. R-1 showed the maximal NH removal rate 9.94 mg L·h and 2.91 mg L·h under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. Analysis of the nitrogen balance calculation and isotope tracing experiment indicated that NH was consumed through assimilation. The maximal NO removal rate of strain R-1 was 18.05 and 19.76 mg L·h under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. The stoichiometric consumption ratio of acetate to nitrate was 0.902 and NO was reduced to N for strain R-1 through NO isotopic tracing experiment, which indicated a respiratory process coupled with the oxidation of electron donors. Genomic analysis showed that strain R-1 contained genes for ammonium assimilation and denitrification, which effectively promoted each other. These findings provide insights into microbial nitrogen transformation and facilitate the simultaneous removal of NH and NO in a single reactor.

Background: Development of novel chiral antifungal agents for effective control of plant pathogens is urgently needed. In this study, a series of pyrazol-5-yl-benzamide derivatives containing chiral oxazoline moiety were rationally designed and developed based on molecular docking.

Results: The in vitro antifungal assay results indicated that compounds (rac)-4h (R = Et), (S)-4 h (R = S-Et) and (R)-4 h (R = R-Et) exhibited remarkable antifungal activities against Valsa mali with median effective concentration (EC) values of 0.

The irrational use of antimicrobials has led to the emergence of resistance, impacting not only pathogenic bacteria but also commensal bacteria. Resistance against colistin, a last-resort antibiotic, mediated by globally disseminated plasmid-borne mobile colistin resistance () genes, has raised significant global concerns. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial resistance patterns of colistin-resistant () and mobilised colistin resistance ( 1-5) genes from broiler meat.

Background: Oral treatment with the exogenous ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate improves cardiac function in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, but ketosis is limited to 3 to 4 hours. Treatment with (R)-1,3-butanediol (BD) provides prolonged ketosis in healthy controls, but the hemodynamic and metabolic profile is unexplored in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Methods And Results: This was a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast milk is essential for infant nutrition, and specific Bifidobacterium strains can enhance health by utilizing human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs).
  • The study successfully isolated nine Bifidobacterium strains from breast milk, which demonstrated strong probiotic potential through various beneficial activities and safety profiles.
  • Notably, B. breve N-90 and B. infantis R-1 were identified as promising candidates for probiotic inclusion in simulated maternal milk formulas due to their effective utilization of HMOs and anti-inflammatory properties.
