Understanding how soil properties and microbial communities respond to crop rotation is essential for the sustainability of agroecosystems. However, there has been limited research on how crop rotation alters below-ground microbial communities in soils with serious bacterial wilt within the karst agricultural system. This study investigated the effects of continuous planting of corn, tobacco, and tobacco-corn rotation on soil microbial communities in the karst regions of Southwestern China. High-throughput sequencing was used to evaluate the responses of the soil microbial community structure to crop monoculture and rotation patterns. As expected, the tobacco-corn rotation mitigated the negative effects of continuous cropping and reduced soil acidification. The tobacco-corn rotation also significantly altered the composition of microbial communities and promoted plant growth by fostering a higher abundance of beneficial microorganisms. The predominant bacteria genera and and the predominant fungal genera and were identified as discriminant biomarkers that are critical to soil ecosystem health. pH, available potassium (AK), and available phosphorus (AP) were the primary soil factors related to the soil microbiome assembly. This study aimed to demonstrate the association between crop rotation and microbiomes, suggesting that altering cultivation patterns could enhance karst agricultural systems.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with significant social, communicative, and behavioral challenges, and its prevalence is increasing globally at an alarming rate. Children with ASD often have nutritional imbalances, and multiple micronutrient deficiencies. Among these, zinc (Zn) deficiency is prominent and has gained extensive scientific interest over the past few years.

Effects of tea polyphenols disinfectant on microbial communities and potential pathogenic bacteria in water.

Environ Technol

March 2025

Key Laboratory of Urban Stormwater System and Water Environment, Ministry of Education, Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Beijing, People's Republic of China.

The structural and abundance changes in water disinfected by tea polyphenols were investigated in high-abundance microbial communities (HAMC), medium-abundance microbial communities (MAMC), and low-abundance microbial communities (LAMC), also included the interactions within and between these communities. The antibacterial effect of tea polyphenols was observed at concentrations of 20-300 mg/L. If the tea polyphenols concentration is greater than or equal to 200 mg/L, it can continue to inhibit the growth of bacteria, and keep the total number of bacteria in 48 hours no more than100 CFU/ml, and this reflected the continuity of tea polyphenols disinfectant in the pipe network.

Scope: The uremic toxin trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) accumulates in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is associated with its progression, cardiovascular disease, and other complications. The gut microbiota produces TMAO from substrates mainly found in red meat, eggs, and dairy. However, some saltwater fish also contain high levels of TMAO.

Chicken is an important food animal worldwide and plays an important role in human life by providing meat and eggs. Despite recent significant advances in gut microbiome studies, a comprehensive study of chicken gut bacterial, archaeal, and viral genomes remains unavailable. In this study, we constructed a chicken multi-kingdom microbiome catalog (CMKMC), including 18,201 bacterial, 225 archaeal, and 33,411 viral genomes, and annotated over 6,076,006 protein-coding genes by integrating 135 chicken gut metagenomes and publicly available metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from ten countries.
