Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been suggested as reservoirs and sources of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. In a WWTP ecosystem, human enteric environmental bacteria are mixed exposed to pharmaceutical residues, potentially favoring genetic exchange thus ARG transmission. However, contribution microbial communities WWTPs dissemination remains poorly understood. Here, we examined for first time plasmid permissiveness an activated sludge community by utilizing...

Abstract The application potential of four duckweed strains from genera, Wolffia globosa 0222, Lemna japonica 0223, Landoltia punctata 0224 and Spirodela polyrhiza 0225, were compared in parallel pilot‐scale wastewater treatment systems for more than 1 year. results indicated that each strain had unique advantages. Unlike L. 0223 La. 0224, which grow throughout the year, S. 0225 W. 0222 do not survive cold weather. For year round performance, was best only dry biomass production (6.10 g·m −2...

Measuring inequality of opportunities has long been a challenging and open problem, primarily due to the limitations associated with individual-level data. In this study, we utilize data obtained from vehicle license plates in comprehensive survey (17258 vehicles 6 major cities China) evaluate country. our context, define opportunity as scenario where relatively expensive have higher likelihood being paired featuring 'Lucky Numbers'. To quantify this, propose lucky-number-based Gini...

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose a significant threat to human health and the environment. Quantifying efficiency of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is challenging due diverse biological environmental influences. Single-cell level approaches are well-suited for investigating conjugative transfer, given its reliance on cell-to-cell contact nature capacity offer insights into population-level responses. This study introduces self-developed system automated time-lapse image acquisition...

Current in the milliampere range can be used for electrochemical inactivation of bacteria. Yet, bacteria-including antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) may subjected to sublethal conditions due imperfect mixing or energy savings measures during disinfection. It is not known whether such current intensities have potential stimulate plasmid transfer from ARB. In this study, conjugal pKJK5 was investigated between Pseudomonas putida strains under reflecting Although abundance culturable and...

A myriad of nonantibiotic compounds is released into the environment, some which may contribute to dissemination antimicrobial resistance by stimulating conjugation. Here, we analyzed a collection studies (i) identify patterns transfer stimulation across groups and concentrations chemicals, (ii) evaluate strength evidence for proposed mechanisms behind conjugal stimulation, (iii) examine plausibility alternative mechanisms. We show that stimulatory act at from 1/1000 1/10 minimal inhibitory...

The effects of water depth, coverage rate and harvest regime on nutrient removal from wastewater high-protein biomass production were assessed in a duckweed-based (Lemna aequinoctialis) pilot-scale treatment system (10 basins × 12 m2) that is located near Dianchi Lake China. results indicated depth 50 cm, 150% 4 days preferable conditions, under which excellent records duckweed (dry matter 6.65 g/m2/d with crude protein content 36.16% phosphorus 1.46%) obtained at temperature 12–21 °C. At...

Fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. producing the antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) are ecologically important in rhizosphere, as they can control phytopathogens and contribute to disease suppression. DAPG also trigger a systemic resistance response plants stimulate root exudation branching well induce plant-beneficial activities other rhizobacteria. While studies of DAPG-producing have predominantly focused on rhizosphere niches, ecological role distribution dynamics bacteria remains...

Mating assays are common laboratory experiments for measuring the conjugation frequency, i.e. efficiency at which a plasmid transfers from population of donor cells to recipient cells. Selective plating remains widely used quantification method enumerate transconjugants end such assays. However, frequencies may be inaccurately estimated because transfer can occur on transconjugant-selective plates rather than only during intended mating duration. We investigated influence cell density this...

Plasmid-specific bacteriophages specifically infect bacteria carrying conjugal plasmids. While wastewater has been used as isolation source for such phages, to date, only the distribution and ecology of RNA phages specific F plasmid have described, because they serve a water quality indicator. Yet, several other classes higher clinical ecological relevance, distribution, fate, that target them remain uncharacterized. We aimed (i) provide an experimental platform quantify abundance...

Abstract Baihaozao ( Camellia sinensis sp. Baihaozao) is esteemed in the domain of tea plant cultivation for its early harvest period, profusion bud trichomes, and exceptional suitability processing. Nevertheless, intricate phylogenetic relationships among species within this genus remain ambiguous, primarily due to limited availability genomic data. This study endeavors comprehensively investigate resources by sequencing, assembling, annotating entire chloroplast (cp) genome. The sequencing...
