Abstract Purpose Staphylococcal contamination of smoked fish represents a public health concern, particularly in informal food markets. This study investigated the microbial risk associated with Staphylococcus-contaminat...

Abstract Microorganisms play key roles in nutrient cycling and soil remediation in saline-alkaline ecosystems. However, how their assembly rules and interaction networks change during natural succession remains unclear. ...

Abstract Lava tubes formed during the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma (Canary Islands, Spain) provide a rare opportunity to investigate the earliest stages of microbial colonization in a newly created subterranean vo...

Abstract Primary temperate forests serve as a natural framework for studying linkages between vegetation, soil properties and microbial communities under minimal human disturbance. Here, we characterize how soil bacteria...

Introduction: Land-use changes have transformed many Mediterranean ecosystems in ways that can adversely affect ectotherms such as reptiles. Range-edge reptile populations may be especially sensitive to such changes, as ...

Aerobic granular sludge(AGS), characterized by high biological retention capacity and environmental stress resistance, has emerged as a frontier technology for dyeing wastewater treatment. However, the impact of cellulos...

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a staple food with many promising health benefits. However, obstacles associated with continuous cropping are common in modern intensive sweet potato production, partially due to imba...

Moxidectin (MOX) belongs to the macrocyclic lactones, a class of anthelmintic drugs widely used in livestock that can enter the soil environment and persist by binding to soil organic matter. While MOX is effective again...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent a key biological strategy for enhancing agricultural resilience under extreme climatic events such as drought. However, how AMF interact with drought-tolerant plant genotypes ...

BackgroundEuschistus heros and Piezodorus guildinii are major soybean pests across the Americas. Gut-associated bacteria influence insect nutrition, detoxification, and stress tolerance, potentially enhancing adaptation ...

Abstract Background Existing research suggested that the intratumoral microbiome participates in the progression and metastasis of lung cancer. However, its role in distinguishing benign from early-stage malignant pulmon...

Abstract Soil microbes are essential for ecosystem functioning, affecting soil health and fertility. The microbial diversity present in soil is influenced by diverse land-use practices and environmental conditions; howev...

This study compared the growth performance, rumen fermentation patterns, and microbial community structure between three-way crossbred (Poll Dorset × Southdown × Hu, TNH) and purebred Hu (HH) sheep. A total of 75 male ...

Methane emissions and chemical pollutants often co-occur in natural and engineered environments, contributing to ecosystem degradation. Microorganisms play key roles in regulating these processes through methane oxidatio...

Abstract Background Blanket bogs are rare ombrotrophic peatlands that function as important long-term carbon stores. Their persistence depends on strong nutrient limitation, which maintains Sphagnum dominance and suppres...

The article investigates the effects of exercise modalities on metabolic disturbances and the gut microbiome in women with metabolic syndrome The relevance of the study is determined by the rapidly increasing prevalence ...

Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a novel approach for understanding anorexia nervosa (AN), a complex eating disorder characterized by severe underweight, fear of weight gain and distorted bo...

ObjectiveThe southern margin of the Junggar Basin (also referred to as the southern Junggar) possesses abundant medium- to low-rank coalbed methane (CBM) resources, with significant progress achieved in CBM exploration a...

BackgroundThe intestinal barrier is a critical interface between the host and the external environment, and growing evidence indicates that bidirectional crosstalk between the gut microbiota and the intestinal barrier is...

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) such as bacteriophages and plasmids profoundly shape microbial community structure and drive horizontal gene transfer across ecosystems. Wastewater treatment systems, with their high cell d...

Plastic pollution is a global crisis, with polystyrene (PS) among the most recalcitrant polymers owing to its stable aromatic structure and resistance to natural degradation. Although insect larvae such as mealworms and ...

Background. The human gastrointestinal tract contains a large community of microorganisms, known as the gut microbiota. Their metabolic and immunological functions influence host physiology. Disruption of this community,...

Abstract Sinking macroalgal biomass carbon to the deep seafloor has been proposed as a means of removing atmospheric carbon dioxide, but the persistence of this carbon and its ecological impacts remain poorly constrained...
