Minsheng You and colleagues report the whole-genome sequence of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. Their transcriptome analysis from different life stages, together with comparative genomic phylogenetic analysis, provides insights into herbivore evolution insect adaptation to plant feeding detoxification. How an evolves become a successful is profound biological practical importance. Herbivores are often adapted feed on specific group evolutionarily biochemically related host plants1,...
Abstract A wide array of microorganisms survive and thrive in extreme environments. However, we know little about the patterns of, controls over, their large-scale ecological distribution. To this end, have applied a bar-coded 16S rRNA pyrosequencing technology to explore phylogenetic differentiation among 59 microbial communities from physically geochemically diverse acid mine drainage (AMD) sites across Southeast China, revealing for first time environmental variation as major factor...
The microbial communities in acid mine drainage have been extensively studied to reveal their roles generation and adaption this environment. Lacking, however, are integrated community- organism-wide comparative gene transcriptional analyses that could the response adaptation mechanisms of these extraordinary microorganisms different environmental conditions. In study, metagenomics metatranscriptomics were performed on assemblages collected from four geochemically distinct (AMD) sites....
High-throughput sequencing is expanding our knowledge of microbial diversity in the environment. Still, understanding metabolic potentials and ecological roles rare uncultured microbes natural communities remains a major challenge. To this end, we applied 'divide conquer' strategy that partitioned massive metagenomic data set (>100 Gbp) into subsets based on K-mer frequency sequence assembly to low-diversity acid mine drainage (AMD) community and, by integrating with an additional...
Organic matter is important for controlling arsenic reduction and release under anoxic conditions. Humic substances (HS) represent an fraction of natural organic matter, yet the manner in which HS affect transformation flooded paddy soil has not been thoroughly elucidated. In this study, anaerobic microcosms were established with arsenic-contaminated amended three extracted humic fractions (fulvic acid, FA; HA; humin, HM). The substantially enhanced extent order FA > HA HM. It was confirmed...
In an attempt to link the microbial community composition and function in mine tailings generation of acid drainage, we simultaneously explored geochemistry microbiology six collected from a lead/zinc mine, i.e. primary (T1), slightly acidic (T2), extremely (T3, T4 T5) orange-coloured oxidized (T6). Geochemical results showed that (from T1 T6) likely represented sequential stages acidification process tailings. 16S rRNA pyrosequencing revealed contrasting between tailings:...
Opisthorchiasis is a neglected, tropical disease caused by the carcinogenic Asian liver fluke, Opisthorchis viverrini. This hepatobiliary linked to malignant cancer (cholangiocarcinoma, CCA) and affects millions of people in Asia. No vaccine available, only one drug (praziquantel) used against parasite. Little known about O. viverrini biology diseases that it causes. Here we characterize draft genome (634.5 Mb) transcriptomes viverrini, elucidate how this fluke survives hostile environment...
Abstract Evolutionary analysis of microbes at the community level represents a new research avenue linking ecological patterns to evolutionary processes, but remains insufficiently studied. Here we report relative rates (rERs) microbial communities from six diverse natural environments based on 40 metagenomic samples. We show that rERs are mainly shaped by environmental conditions and inhabiting extreme habitats (acid mine drainage, saline lake hot spring) evolve faster than those populating...
Significance The genome analysis presented here represents a major step forward in the field of desiccation tolerance and much-anticipated resource that will have far-reaching effect many areas plant biology agriculture. We present ∼1.69-Gb draft Boea hygrometrica , an important model for understanding responses to dehydration. To our knowledge, this is first sequence desiccation-tolerant extremophile, offering insight into evolution trait look, organization tolerance. underpinning...
Organic substrates and biochar are important in controlling arsenic release from sediments soils; however, little is known about their impact on arsenic-reducing bacteria genes during transformation flooded paddy soils. In this study, microcosm experiments were established to profile transcriptional activity of As(V)-respiring gene (arrA) resistance (arsC) as well the associated regulated by lactate and/or anaerobic arsenic-contaminated Chemical analyses revealed that organic substrate...
Microbial arsenite (As(III)) oxidation associated with nitrate (NO3–) reduction might be an important process in diminishing arsenic bioavailability and toxicity to rice when paddy soils are contaminated by arsenic. In a noncontaminated soil, however, the responses of bacterial communities functional genes As(III) under nitrate-reducing conditions poorly understood. this study, anaerobic soil microcosms were established and/or NO3– investigate how their stimulated during reduction. As(V) was...
Abstract Iron plaque is a strong adsorbent on rice roots, acting as barrier to prevent metal uptake by rice. However, the role of root iron microbes in governing redox cycling and bioavailability unknown. In this study, microbial community structure roots from an arsenic-contaminated paddy soil was explored using high-throughput next-generation sequencing. The composition diversity were significantly different those bulk rhizosphere soils. Using aoxB gene identifying marker, we determined...
A total synthesis of dactylolide (1) is described. The key feature involves the Ti(IV)-mediated coupling structurally complex "Sharpless epoxides" and carboxylic acids in either an intramolecular (macrolactonization) or intermolecular mode. Other notable aspects include a proton-catalyzed, cis-selective construction 4-methylenetetrahydropyran ring; selective oxidation allylic alcohol presence 1,2-diol by oxoammonium ion; efficient ring-closing metathesis reaction situ (bis-TMS) protected...

The results indicated that indigenous microbial communities are important PCP Biostimulation of by the addition lactate anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) led to enhanced rates dechlorination dechlorinating- iron-reducing bacteria electrochemical studies using cyclic voltammograms current measurements confirmed high reduction...
We studied the mechanisms of microbial transformation in functional bacteria on 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) two different field soils, Haiyan (HY) and Chenghai (CH). The results showed that activities had a steady dechlorination effect DDT its metabolites (DDx). Adding lactate or glucose as carbon sources increased amount Desulfuromonas, Sedimentibacter, Clostridium bacteria, which led to an increase adsorbed Fe(II) resulted rates. electron shuttle...
Microorganisms play essential roles in flavor formation during soy sauce fermentation. Different fermentation types significantly affect formation. However, comparisons of microbial communities and metabolites between different have been little studied. Here, we investigated variation communities, metabolite profiles, metabolic pathways Japanese-type (JP) Cantonese-type (CP) Free amino acids volatile compound profiles varied types, with JP samples containing higher contents esters (39.84%; p...
Abstract Ultrathin terahertz (THz) absorbing films are critical as building blocks for THz devices and systems. Although few‐layer Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene assemblies have approached the intrinsic absorption limit, it remains important to explore properties of other MXenes, which may elucidate mechanism THz‐matter interactions future guidance material design. In this study, eight representative MXenes with different M‐sites were systematically analyzed. Surprisingly, CT thin film direct current...
