Mangroves are ecologically and economically important forests of the tropics. As one most carbon-rich biomes, mangroves account for 11% total input terrestrial carbon into oceans. Although viruses considered to significantly influence local global biogeochemical cycles, little information is available regarding community structure, genetic diversity ecological roles in mangrove ecosystems.Here, we utilised viral metagenomics sequencing virome-specific bioinformatics tools study communities...

Our previous studies have shown that high alcohol-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (HiAlc Kpn) in the intestinal microbiome could be one of causes non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Considering antimicrobial resistance K. and dysbacteriosis caused by antibiotics, phage therapy might potential treatment HiAlc Kpn-induced NAFLD, because specificity targeting bacteria. Here, we clarified effectiveness male mice with steatohepatitis. Comprehensive investigations including transcriptomes...

Summary Viruses have been detected in the different stages of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) at concentrations 10 8 –10 ml −1 virus‐like particles (VLPs), 10–1000 times higher than natural aquatic environments, suggesting that WWTPs can be considered as an important reservoir and source viruses. This study revealed novel diversity function with DNA viral communities influent, activated sludge, anaerobic digester, effluent a domestic WWTP using metagenomics. was very specific...

Microbial degradation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in aquatic environments can cause oxygen depletion, water acidification, and CO2 emissions. These problems are caused by labile DOC (LDOC) not refractory (RDOC) that resists is thus a sink. For nearly century, chemical demand (COD) has been widely used for assessment pollution systems. Here, we show through multicountry survey experimental studies COD an appropriate proxy microbial degradability matter because it oxidizes both LDOC...

Long noncoding RNAs known as roX (RNA on the X) are crucial for male development in Drosophila, their loss leads to lethality from late larval stages. While recognized role sex-chromosome dosage compensation, ensuring balanced expression of X-linked genes both sexes, potential influence autosomal gene regulation remains unexplored. Here, using an integrative multi-omics approach, we show that not only govern X chromosome but also target autosomes lack male-specific lethal (MSL) complex...

Hospitals play an important role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antimicrobial (AMR). The ARGs present hospital wastewater tend to accumulate activated sludge, with different exhibiting varying migration rates. As a result, sludge water produced during treatment process may be significant source entering environment. Despite this, research into behavior concentration dewatering remains limited. This study hypothesizes that might exhibit new behaviors concentration....

As aquaculture continues to expand globally, diseases caused by Vibrio species are becoming increasingly prevalent. Vibriosis encompasses a range of infections, which can lead symptoms such as skin lesions, hemorrhaging, and high mortality rates in fish shellfish, especially high-density farming systems, resulting significant economic losses. Simultaneously, the extensive use antibiotics has fostered emergence antibiotic-resistant bacteria, exacerbated disease outbreaks, complicated control...

Viruses are ubiquitous and cause significant mortality in marine bacterial archaeal communities. Little is known about the role of viruses sub-seafloor biosphere, which hosts a large fraction all microbes on Earth. We quantified characterized sediments from Baltic Sea. The results show that Sea biosphere harbors highly abundant with densities up to 1.8 × 1010 cm-3. High potential viral production down 37 meters below seafloor ca. 6000-years-old infected prokaryotic cells visible by...

Summary The Pelagibacterales order (SAR11) in Alphaproteobacteria dominates marine surface bacterioplankton communities, where it plays a key role carbon and nutrient cycling. SAR11 phages, known as pelagiphages, are among the most abundant phages ocean. Four pelagiphages that infect Pelagibacter HTCC1062 have been reported. Here, we report 11 new Podoviridae family. Comparative genomics classified these into HTVC019Pvirus genus, which includes previously reported HTVC011P HTVC019P....

Microbes drive ecosystems and their viruses manipulate these processes, yet the importance of tidal functioning on estuarine microbes remains poorly elucidated. Here, an integrative investigation patterns in viral microbial communities inherent interactions over entire spring-neap cycle was conducted along a macrotidal subtropical estuary. The abundances oscillated significantly with relatively higher observed at spring tide compared to neap tide. distinct dynamic bacterial production...

Tailed bacteriophages (order, Caudovirales) account for the majority of all phages. However, long flexible tail siphophages hinders comprehensive investigation mechanism viral gene delivery. Here, we report atomic capsid and in-situ structures machine marine siphophage, vB_DshS-R4C (R4C), which infects Roseobacter. The R4C virion, comprising 12 distinct structural protein components, has a unique five-fold vertex icosahedral that allows genome specific position interaction pattern tube...

We studied the interplay between quantum interference (QI) and molecular asymmetry in charge transport through a single molecule. Eight compounds with five-membered core rings were synthesized, their single-molecule conductances characterized using mechanically controllable break junction technique. It is found that symmetric molecules are more conductive than asymmetric isomers there no statistically significant dependence on aromaticity of core. In contrast, we find experimental evidence...
