The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the most damaging crop pests, and it has become major threat to food security many countries. In order monitor possible invasion this pest into China, a searchlight trap was established in March 2018 western Yunnan Province, where served as "first station" for pests that have migrated from Myanmar China. A number suspected FAW moths were captured identified by DNA sequencing. results showed moth first on December 11 formed its...
Microorganisms can mediate arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) transformation thus change the As Sb toxicity mobility. The influence of on innate microbiome has been extensively characterized. However, how microbial metabolic potentials are influenced by co-contamination is still ambiguous. In this study, we selected two contrasting sites located in Shimen realgar mine, largest mine Asia, to explore adaptability response soil impact potentials. It observed that geochemical parameters, including...
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has important ecological significance in mine tailing by contributing to the initial accumulation of nitrogen. In addition chemolithotrophic and heterotrophic BNF, light may also fuel BNF oligotrophic tailings. However, knowledge regarding occurrence this biogeochemical process tailings remains ambiguous. The current study observed phototrophic enrichment cultures established from three primary successional stages (i.e., original tailings, biological...
A series of V2O5/CeO2 catalysts with different potassium loadings were prepared to investigate alkali deactivations for selective catalytic reduction NOx NH3. An poisoning mechanism could be attributed surface acidity, reducibility, and adsorption/desorption behaviors. The detailed factors are as follows: (1) decrease acidity suppresses NH3 adsorption by strong bonding vanadia (major factor); (2) low reducibility prohibits activation NO oxidation formation ceria (important (3) active NOx–...
Microorganisms inhabiting mine tailings require specific metabolic strategies to survive, which may hold potential for pollution clean up. Effective in situ bioremediation will rely on an in-depth understanding of the function bacterial communities, especially abundant and metabolically active phylotypes. In this study, communities collected from alkaline tailing site were profiled by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing as well shotgun metagenomic analysis. Our results indicated that...
Arsenite (As(III)) oxidation has important environmental implications by decreasing both the mobility and toxicity of As in environment. Microbe-mediated nitrate-dependent As(III) (NDAO) may be an process for anoxic environments. Our current knowledge As(III)-oxidizing bacteria (NDAB), however, is largely based on isolates, thus, diversity NDAB underestimated. In this study, DNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) with 13C-labeled NaHCO3 as sole carbon source, amplicon sequencing, shotgun...
A unique terrace with sharp gradient of environmental conditions was selected to study the microbial response and survival strategies extreme environments introduced by acid mine drainage (AMD) contamination. combination geochemical analyses, metagenomic sequencing, ex-situ microcosm setups, statistical analyses were used investigate environment-microbe interactions. The communities metabolic potentials along studied focusing on genes associated important biogeochemical processes (i.e., C,...
Nutrient deficiency, especially bio-available nitrogen often impedes the bioremediation efforts of mining generated tailings. Biological fixation is a critical process necessary for initial buildup in Current knowledge regarding diazotrophs that inhabit tailings still its infancy. Therefore, this study, comprehensive investigation combining geochemical characterization, sequence analyses, molecular techniques, and activity measurements was conducted to characterize diazotrophic community...
Metal contamination released from tailings is a global environmental concern. Although phytoremediation promising remediation method, its practice often impeded by the adverse tailing geochemical conditions, which suppress biological activities. The ecosystem services provided indigenous microorganisms could alter conditions and facilitate revegetation in tailings. During process, keystone taxa of microbial community are assumed an essential role regulating composition functions. identity...
Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has important environmental implications in tailings by providing bioavailable to these habitats and sustaining ecosystem functions. Previously, chemolithotrophic diazotrophs that dominate mine were shown use reduced sulfur (S) as the electron donor. Tailings often contain high concentrations of As(III) might function an alternative donor fuel BNF. Here, we tested this hypothesis report on BNF fueled oxidation a novel biogeochemical process addition S....
Abstract Arsenate [As(V)] reduction is a major cause of arsenic (As) release from soils, which threatens more than 200 million people worldwide. While heterotrophic As(V) has been investigated extensively, the mechanism chemolithotrophic less studied. Since As frequently found as sulfidic mineral in environment, microbial mediated sulfur oxidation coupled to (SOAsR), process, may be favorable sites impacted by oligotrophic mining (e.g. As-contaminated mine tailings). SOAsR thermodynamically...
The fruit of Ziziphus jujuba var. Spinosa (ZJF) is a byproduct the processing Suanzaoren commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. Due to its high nutrient value, ZJF has been one most promising food sources. However, they are highly perishable, which severely limits effective use ZJF. To find suitable drying method that facilitates storage and while maximizing preservation nutrients biological activity, three methods, hot air (HD), infrared (ID), vacuum (VD), were applied samples at...
Degraded tailings generated by the mining of metal ores are major environmental threats to surrounding ecosystems. Tailing reclamation, however, is often impeded due adverse conditions, with depleted key nutrients (i.e., nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)) elevated sulfur metal(loid) concentrations. Formation biocrusts may significantly accelerate nutrient accumulation therefore an essential stage for tailing reclamation. Although suggested play important role, microbial community composition...
Semitransparent perovskite solar cells (ST‐PSCs) for building‐integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) face the challenge of achieving high efficiency due to significant light loss. The SnO2 electron transport layer (ETL), utilized in n‐i‐p PSCs and prepared via sol‐gel method, is susceptible aggregation on substrate, resulting scattering that diminishes absorption layer. In this study, we propose a strategy combines atomic deposition (ALD) solution deposit bilayer structure address these issues....
