Abstract Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising candidates for large‐scale energy storage due to the high safety and cost effectiveness. Yet it is suffered from obscurely uncontrolled Zn 2+ deposition that accumulates together easily penetrates separator. Here, a 3D long‐range ordered polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber separator designed overcome this barrier. The N atoms on surface of uniformly distribute ion flux guide cation transport through available N–Zn bonds. Hence, electric...
Abstract Several abundant but yet uncultivated bacterial groups exist in extreme iron- and sulfur-rich environments, the physiology, biodiversity, ecological roles of these bacteria remain a mystery. Here we retrieved four metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from an artificial acid mine drainage (AMD) system, propose they belong to new deltaproteobacterial order, Candidatus Acidulodesulfobacterales. The distribution pattern Ca. Acidulodesulfobacterales AMDs across Southeast China correlated...
Abstract Aqueous zinc batteries (ZBs) have flourished due to their advantages of low‐cost and intrinsically safe water‐based electrolytes. However, in the traditional liquid electrolyte, sufficient energy density efficiency for practical utility not been realized yet. Here, instead use a strong acid/alkali pH environment elevate working voltage an aqueous solution, ion concentration/dilution strategy is proposed trigger extra deposition/dissolution capacity Mn 4+ /Mn 2+ redox reaction normal...
The compositional and physiological responses of autotrophic microbiotas to salinity in lakes remain unclear. In this study, the community composition carbon fixation pathways microorganisms lacustrine sediments with a gradient (82.6 g/L 0.54 g/L) were investigated by using metagenomic analysis. A total 117 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) potentially belonging 20 phyla obtained. abundance these potential autotrophs increased significantly decreasing salinity, variation sediment microbial...
Although chlorinated organophosphate esters (Cl-OPEs) have been reported to be ubiquitously distributed in various anoxic environments, little information is available on their fate under conditions. In this study, we report two Dehalococcoides-containing enrichment cultures that transformed 3.88 ± 0.22 μmol tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and 2.61 0.02 tris(1-chloro-2-propyl) (TCPP) within 10 days. Based the identification of products deuteration experiments, inferred TCEP may generate...
Sumerlaeota is a mysterious, putative phylum-level lineage distributed globally but rarely reported. As such, their physiology, ecology, and evolutionary history remain unknown. The 16S rRNA gene survey reveals that frequently detected in diverse environments globally, especially cold arid desert soils deep-sea basin surface sediments, where it one dominant microbial group. Here, we retrieved four metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from two hot springs saline lake. Including another 12...
Abstract Nest survival is a vital component of breeding success, and affects population dynamics, as the loss nests main cause reproductive failure in birds. To identify key factors for conservation Chinese grouse Tetrastes sewerzowi, we tested effects nest concealment, age, nesting season, habitat edge on daily rate (DSR) using 54 found at Lianhuashan Nature Reserve, Gansu, China, 2009–2012. Moreover, controlled effect research activity by testing checks DSR. Overall, mammal predation...
The microbial method for the treatment of azo dye is promising, but reduction rate-limiting step. Zero valent iron (Fe(0)) can enhance reduction, interactions between microbes and Fe(0) potential mechanisms enhancement remain unclear. Here, Shewanella decolorationis S12, a typical azo-reducing bacterium, was used to characterize on decolorization.
Bacterial anaerobic respiration using an extracellular electron acceptor plays a predominant role in global biogeochemical cycles. However, the mechanisms of bacterial adaptation to toxic organic pollutant as during are not clear, which limits our ability optimize strategies for bioremediation contaminated environment. Here, we report physiological characteristics and gene expression ecologically successful bacterium, Shewanella decolorationis S12, when typical pollutant, amaranth, acceptor....
Abstract The genus Sorex is one of the most diverse and ecologically successful lineages family Soricidae. We present first multilocus nuclear phylogeny focusing on nominal subgenus s.str., which distributed mainly in northern Palearctic. tree (six exons) provides more resolution than mitochondrial data ( cytb ) supports subdivision into eight species groups within correspond to those recognized from chromosome data. European S. alpinus consistently placed as basal lineage Palearctic clade,...
Abstract Electron acceptor redox potential (EARP) was presumed to be a determining factor for microbial metabolism in many natural and engineered processes. However, little is known about the potentially global effects of EARP on bacteria. In this study, we compared physiological transcriptomic properties Shewanella decolorationis S12 respiring with different EARPs electrochemical systems avoid caused by other physicochemical real electron acceptor. Results showed that metabolic activities...
Abstract Background The boreal forest is one of the largest biomes on earth, supporting thousands species. global climate fluctuations in Quaternary, especially ice ages, had a significant influence distribution forest, as well divergence and evolution species inhabiting this biome. To understand possible effects on-going future change it would be useful to reconstruct past population size changes relate such climatic events past. We sequenced genomes 32 individuals from two bird species,...
We examined the variation in sexual ornamentation of male Chinese grouse (Tetrastes sewerzowi) Gansu Province, China, seeking to identify factors involved whether ornament size and brightness are honest signals quality. Compared unmated males, mated males had significantly larger redder combs and, although they did not have territories, defended them more vigorously. Mated higher blood carotenoid testosterone levels, better body condition, lower parasite loads than males. Our findings thus...
The first genetic study of the holotype Gansu short-tailed shrew, Blarinella griselda Thomas, 1912, is presented. mitochondrial analysis demonstrated that type specimen B. close to several recently collected specimens from southern Gansu, northern Sichuan and Shaanxi, which are highly distinct two species Asiatic shrews Sichuan, Yunnan, Vietnam, quadraticauda wardi. Our four nuclear genes supported placement as sister / wardi, with level divergence between these clades corresponding among...
Sex differences in plumage color are common bird species. Some species regarded as sexually monochromatic human visual systems, and recent years, some found to be of cryptic (to human) sexual dichromatism by spectrophotometric techniques. However, the functions still less understood these Here, we focused on traits Chestnut Thrush (Turdus rubrocanus), which is considered a observers. We used spectrometer analyses avian modeling investigate males females, whether involved assortative mating....
