Abstract:
... Replacing virgin mining with urban mining is an important step to achieve resources recycling and carbon emission reduction. Bio-cyanidation is an environmentally-friendly technology to recover precious metals from waste printed circuit boards, a type of typical urban minerals. However, the limited cyanide-producing ability and the risk of cyanide containing solutions restricts its industrial appl ...

Abstract:
... Clostridium sp. LQ25 was cultured in different forms of ferric (ferric citrate and ferric hydroxide) as electron acceptors to investigate growth, ferric reduction, hydrogen production, fermentation products and fermentation process. The growth of the strain LQ25 detected by protein was 82.8 ± 2.1 mg/L and 73.5 ± 1.7 mg/L using ferric citrate and ferric hydroxide as electron acceptors, which was 33 ...

Abstract:
... Marine heatwaves are predicted to become more intense and frequent in the future, possibly threatening the survival of marine organisms and devastating their communities. While recent evidence reveals the adaptability of marine organisms to heatwaves, substantially overlooked is whether they can also adjust to repeated heatwave exposure, which can occur in nature. By analysing transcriptome, we ex ...
... Chrysanthemum morifolium is a popular flower. The disc florets of most C. morifolium varieties are yellow or colourless, whereas those of the anemone-form are red/pink. To explain this difference, we analysed the metabolomes and transcriptomes of ‘Danfen’ (conventional variety) and ‘Fenlian’ (anemone-form variety). Of the 129,277 assembled unigenes, 59,070 were annotated. A total of 50,325 differe ...
... Bananas (Musa spp.) are an important source of pro-vitamin A, derived from carotenoids. Some cultivated bananas originated from intra-specific hybridization resulting in genotypes which are diploid (AA) and triploid (AAA) genomes that are the most important bananas for desserts. The accumulation of carotenoids and transcripts of genes related to carotenoid biosynthesis during fruit development and ...

Abstract:
... Cadmium (Cd), a ubiquitous environmental hazardous heavy metal, poses a significant threat to the health of aquatic organisms, including teleosts. Although the toxic profile of Cd is well recognized, little is known regarding the overall view of toxic responses to varying aquatic environmental parameters (e.g., water hardness) at an individual level. Herein, differences in water hardness were part ...
... Intestinal tissue functions in innate immunity to prevent the entry of harmful substances, and to maintain homeostasis through the constant proliferation of intestinal stem cells (ISC). To understand the mechanisms which regulate ISC in response to gut damage, we identified 81 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) through RNA-seq analysis after oral administration of three intestinal-damaging subs ...

Abstract:
... The almond crop has high economic importance on a global scale, but its sensitivity to salinity stress can cause severe yield losses. Salt-tolerant rootstocks are vital for crop economic feasibility under saline conditions. Two commercial rootstocks submitted to salinity, and evaluated through different parameters, had contrasting results with the survival rates of 90.6% for 'Rootpac 40' (tolerant ...
... The flavor of ‘Yali’ pear fruits has substantially declined recently as a result of poor pollination tree selection. Xenia effect is a powerful mechanism for regulating aroma production. To study the effect of different pollens on aroma quality and the molecular basis of xenia effect in ‘Yali’ pear fruits, ‘Hongnanguo’ and ‘Xuehuali’ were used as pollinizers, and the hybrid fruits were named YH an ...

Abstract:
... Soil Cd pollution seriously threatens environment and human health. Due to its ability to absorb and accumulate Cd in mycelia, Stropharia rugosoannulata could be a potential candidate for bioremediation of Cd-contaminated soils; however, the response mechanism of mycelia to Cd stress is still unclear. In this study, the physiologic and proteomic differences of S. rugosoannulata mycelia under 0.2 m ...
... Fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) that persist and bioaccumulate in the environment have aroused people's great concern. Here, we studied the adverse effects of FQs in soil animals of Caenorhabditis elegans via food-chronically exposure. The result shows C. elegans exposed to FQs exhibited reproductive toxicity with small-brood size and low-egg hatchability. To study the underlying mechanism, we c ...

Abstract:
... Viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) causes considerable economic losses in the flounder aquaculture industry in Korea. This study was aimed to identify the immune-associated genes contributing to VHSV infection progression in the kidneys of the olive flounder. Ten fish were divided into two groups via an intraperitoneal injection with either diethylpyrocar ...
... The doubling of the plant genome causes obvious morphological and physiological changes, and DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mCs) modification is a key epigenetic component that helps neopolyploids overcome challenges and acquire advantages. In the study of autotetraploid grape, we found that leaf thickness, photosynthetic and antioxidant capacity increased and anthocyanin coloring decreased in autotetrapl ...
... This study aims to explore the formation mechanism of ethyl acetate and organic acids in acid rice soup (rice-acid soup) inoculated with Kluyveromyces marxianus L1-1 through the complementary analysis of transcriptome and proteome. The quantity of K. marxianus L1-1 varied significantly in the fermentation process of rice-acid soup and the first and third days were the two key turning points in the ...
... BCp12, a novel antimicrobial agent derived from buffalo milk, poses superior antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. In the present study, the effect of BCp12 on the cell wall synthesis and molecular pathways of Staphylococcus aureus was studied by the CLSM, SEM and proteomics analyses to facilitate the development of this novel antimicrobial peptide. The results demonstrated that BC ...
... Cadmium (Cd) induces severe soil pollution worldwide and exerts adverse effects on paddy field arthropods. Spiders grant a novel perspective to assess the Cd-induced toxicity, yet the impacts of long-term Cd stress on spider silk glands and its underlying mechanism remain elusive. The study showed that Cd stress enervated the antioxidant system in the spider Pardosa pseudoannulata, manifested as t ...
... Contamination of V. parahaemolyticus in raw product and culture areas of Crassostrea gigas has been a concern in food hygiene and infectious diseases in the shellfish aquaculture industry for decades. Although numerous researchers have presently objective of decreasing pathogen microorganism contaminated load in raw oysters or genetics improvement for prevention, the in-depth information at the mo ...
... Tapeworms are infamous and highly successful invasive parasites in aquatic animals, especially in fish. However, tapeworm-caused diseases in soft-shelled turtles are rarely discovered. In this study, a case of cultured Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) infected with tapeworm in Changde city of China was reported, and the taxonomic identification of the tapeworm and the effects of t ...

Abstract:
... When identifying differentially expressed genes between two conditions using human population RNA-seq samples, we found a phenomenon by permutation analysis: two popular bioinformatics methods, DESeq2 and edgeR, have unexpectedly high false discovery rates. Expanding the analysis to limma-voom, NOISeq, dearseq, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test, we found that FDR control is often failed except for the Wi ...

Abstract:
... The increasing number of scRNA-seq data emphasizes the need for integrative analysis to interpret similarities and differences between single-cell samples. Although different batch effect removal methods have been developed, none are suitable for heterogeneous single-cell samples coming from multiple biological conditions. We propose a method, scINSIGHT, to learn coordinated gene expression patter ...
