Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have accelerated microbial threats to human health in the last decade. Many can confer resistance, but evaluating relative risks of ARGs is complex. Factors such as abundance, propensity for lateral transmission and ability be expressed pathogens are all important. Here, an analysis at metagenomic level from various habitats (6 types habitats, 4572 samples) detects 2561 that collectively conferred 24 classes antibiotics. We quantitatively evaluate risk...

Plant phenology has crucial biological, physical, and chemical effects on the biosphere. Phenological drivers have largely been studied, but role of plant microbiota, particularly rhizosphere not considered. We discovered that microbial communities could modulate timing flowering Arabidopsis thaliana. Rhizosphere microorganisms increased prolonged N bioavailability by nitrification delayed converting tryptophan to phytohormone indole acetic acid (IAA), thus downregulating genes trigger...

Application of organic fertilizers is an important strategy for sustainable agriculture. The biological source determines their specific functional characteristics, but few studies have systematically examined these functions or assessed health risk to soil ecology. To fill this gap, we analyzed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data from 637 samples amended with plant- and animal-derived (hereafter plant animal fertilizers). Results showed that increased the diversity microbiome, while...

Soil microbiota plays crucial roles in maintaining the health, productivity, and nutrient cycling of terrestrial ecosystems. The persistence prevalence heterocyclic compounds soil pose significant risks to health. However, understanding links between microbial responses remains challenging due complexity communities their various chemical structures. This study developed a machine-learning approach that integrates properties structures with diversity bacteria functions predict impact on...

Abstract Cyanobacterial blooms are a global ecological problem that directly threatens human health and crop safety. Cyanobacteria have toxic effects on aquatic microorganisms, which could drive the selection for resistance genes. The effect of cyanobacterial dispersal abundance antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) concern to remains poorly known. We herein investigated ARG composition in Lake Taihu, China. numbers relative abundances total ARGs increased obviously during Planktothrix bloom....

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have attracted much interest due to their unique optical property, rich resource, environment friendliness, and templating potentials. CNCs been reported as novel photonic humidity sensors, which are unfortunately limited by the dissolution unideal moisture absorption of CNCs. We, in this study, developed a high-performance composite sensor that consisted polyacrylamide; chemical bonding was induced between two components using glutaraldehyde bridging agent. The...

Background: The bidirectional interaction between the gut and brain after stroke through immune-mediated pathway has been studied. However, long-term effects of microbiota systemic immune homeostasis cerebral ischemia remain unclear. We examined changes in inflammatory cytokines infarction cynomolgus monkeys. Methods: Twelve monkeys underwent successful distal M1 segment left middle artery occlusion (MCAO) were randomly equally assigned to MCAO-1.5 m, MCAO-6 MCAO-12 m groups, which...

The use of pesticides to ensure global food security is the most important pest control strategy in modern agriculture but causes extensive soil pollution. This pollution involves potential risks human health and ecosystems. In addition animal growth, adverse impact on gut microbiomes nontarget fauna remains largely unknown. Here, effect fungicide azoxystrobin (AZ) microbiota animals (Enchytraeus crypticus) was studied. tested concentrations AZ altered bacterial community E. crypticus were...
