ABSTRACT The giant panda evolved from omnivorous bears. It lives on a bamboo-dominated diet at present, but it still retains typical carnivorous digestive system and is genetically deficient in cellulose-digesting enzymes. To find out whether this endangered mammalian species, like other herbivores, has successfully developed gut microbiota adapted to its fiber-rich diet, we conducted 16S rRNA gene-based large-scale structural profiling of the fecal microbiota. Forty-five captive individuals...

The gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) is a widely distributed top predator and ancestor of the domestic dog. To address questions about relationships to each other dogs, we assembled analyzed data set 34 canine genomes. divergence between New Old World wolves earliest branching event followed by confirming that dog was domesticated in World. However, no single population more closely related supporting hypothesis dogs were derived from an extinct population. All extant have surprisingly recent...

The extensive agricultural use of the fungicide difenoconazole (DIF) and its associated toxicity increasingly damage ecosystems human health. Thus, an urgent need is to develop environmentally friendly technological approaches capable effectively removing DIF residues. In this study, strain Pseudomonas putida A-3 was isolated for first time which can degrade efficiently. After optimization degradation conditions, rate reached 75.98%. Moreover, a new pathway, including hydroxylation,...

The Tibetan grey wolf (Canis lupus chanco) occupies habitats on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a high altitude (>3000 m) environment where low oxygen tension exerts unique selection pressure individuals to adapt hypoxic conditions. To identify genes involved in hypoxia adaptation, we generated complete genome sequences of nine Chinese wolves from and populations at an average coverage 25× coverage. We found that, beginning about 55,000 years ago, highland suffered more substantial population...

Cypermethrin is popularly used as an insecticide in households and agricultural fields, resulting serious environmental contamination. Rapid effective techniques that minimize or remove insecticidal residues from the environment are urgently required. However, currently available cypermethrin-degrading bacterial strains suboptimal. We aimed to characterize kinetics metabolic pathway of highly efficient Bacillus thuringiensis strain SG4. Strain SG4 effectively degraded cypermethrin under...

The giant panda feeds almost exclusively on bamboo, a diet highly enriched in lignin and cellulose, but is characterized by digestive tract similar to carnivores. It still large unknown if how the gut microbiota contributes cellulose degradation. Here we show pandas' does not significantly contribute We found that no operational taxonomic unit had nearest neighbor identified as cellulolytic species or strain with significant higher abundance juvenile than cubs, very low of putative genes...

Persistent use of the insecticide D-cyphenothrin has resulted in heavy environmental contamination and public concern. However, microbial degradation never been investigated mechanism remains unknown. During this study, for first time, an efficient D-cyphenothrin-degrading bacterial strain Staphylococcus succinus HLJ-10 was identified. Response surface methodology successfully employed by using Box-Behnken design to optimize culture conditions. At optimized conditions, over 90% (50 mg·L−1)...

Continuous use of allethrin has resulted in heavy environmental contamination and raised public concern about its impact on human health, yet little is known the kinetics microbial degradation this pesticide. This study reported a novel fungal strain, Fusarium proliferatum CF2, isolated from contaminated agricultural fields. Strain CF2 utilized 50 mg·L−1 as sole carbon source for growth minimal salt medium tolerated high concentrations up to 1000 mg·L−1. The optimum conditions strain were...
