Abstract Background Function genomic studies will generally result in lists of genes that may provide clues for exploring biological questions and discovering unanticipated functions, based on differential gene expression analysis, epigenomic analysis or co-expression network analysis. While tools have been developed to identify functions are enriched the sets, there remains a need comprehensive functional enrichment both model non-model species from different function classification...

At present, the pollution of arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) is becoming increasingly serious. The caused by release As Pb from lead–zinc mines has seriously affected water soil environment threatened human health. It necessary to reveal characteristics Pb. actual scene mine drainage (MD) rainwater (RW) leaching waste rocks one main reasons for However, behavior in these under MD RW suffered a lack in-depth research. In this study, we investigated occurrence (S1–S6) using X-ray diffraction (XRD)...

Over the past few decades, nonferrous mining has produced numerous waste rock and part of that not been properly treated was generally dumped at roadsides hill slopes. However, vertical distributions toxic metal(loid)s composition microbial communities in heap under-laid pristine soil are rarely studied. In this work, fraction-related were investigated a profile indigenous assemblages also analyzed by Illumina sequencing 16 s rRNA genes. Results showed compared to soil, content metal(loid)s,...

Bacillus spp. as probiotics have been widely used in the aquaculture industry. This study was designed to investigate dietary supplementation of cereus QSI-1 with quorum quenching activity, on intestinal barrier and expression levels innate immune genes. After 14 d feeding, fish fed exhibited a significant down-regulated gene TNF, IL-8, IL-10 mucosa, but up-regulated tight junction (TJ) proteins zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) occludin adaptor protein myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88)...

Soil contamination with potentially toxic element such as chromium (Cr) poses a threat to the environment and human health. The environmental toxicity of Cr is related not only total content but also distribution fractions. In this study, laboratory simulation experiments were conducted explore characteristics fractions responses functional microbial community during dynamic leaching static drying processes. results showed that acid-soluble reducible transformed into other relatively stable...

The column bioleaching of copper flotation tailings was comparatively investigated using layered heap construction method (LM), agglomerate (AM), and pellets-sintering (PM). bacterial communities free, attached, weakly-attached, strongly-attached microbes in the later stage were investigated. In AM group, addition lump sulphide ore resulted low leachate pH, high ferric iron concentration, rapid microbial adsorption, which obtained maximum extraction (60.1%) compared with LM (54.6%) PM...

This research aimed to optimize the experimental conditions of biodesulfurization sulfide ore and evaluate flame-retardant effect after desulfurization under optimal conditions. Six factors were determined: particle size sample, ambient temperature, rotary speed shaking table, volume bacteria liquid, concentration leaching aid (Tween80), pH value acidizing sample. Desulfurization efficiency was used as main characterization index in optimization studies. Particle liquid inoculated selected...

Bioremediation is widely recognized as a promising and efficient approach for the elimination of Cd from contaminated paddy soils. However, removal efficacy achieved through this method remains unsatisfactory accompanied by marginally higher cost. Cysteine has potential to improve bioleaching efficiency soils decrease use cost since it green, acidic high affinity. In study, different combination modes cysteine microbial inoculant were designed analyze their effects on soil community sequence...
