Convincing studies demonstrated that vaginal flora is one of the most impactful key components for well-being genital tract in women. Nevertheless, potential capability vaginal-derived bacterial communities as biomarkers to monitor cervical carcinogenesis (CC) has yet be studied actively compared those vaginosis (BV). We hypothesized microbiota might associated with progression CC. In this study, we enrolled 23 participants, including healthy controls (HC group; n = 7), patients...
The fecal microbiota is being increasingly implicated in the diagnosis of various diseases. However, evidence on changes invasive cervical cancer (ICC) remains scarce. Here, we aimed to investigate our cohorts, develop a diagnostic model for predicting early ICC, and identify potential microbiota-derived biomarkers using amplicon sequencing data. We obtained samples from 29 healthy women (HC) 17 with clinically confirmed ICC (CAN). Although Shannon’s diversity index was not reached at...
Ginseng is a profitable crop worldwide; however, the ginseng replanting problem (GRP) major threat to its production. Soil amendment non-chemical method that gaining popularity for alleviating continuous cropping obstacles, such as GRP. However, impact of soil with either cow dung or canola on GRP reduction and associated microbiota remains unclear. In present study, we evaluated effect dung, seed powder, without (control), survival seedling transplants, bacterial fungal communities, their...
Spinach has been suggested as a potential rotation crop for increasing yield by enhancing beneficial fungal microbes in continuous monocropping. However, no research on the use of spinach green manure reported. Thus, we tested effects and Korean mustard cultivars (green red mustards) (10 g pot -1) soil chemical properties, pepper productivity, microbiome long-year pepper-monocropped soil. improved nutrition (e.g., pH, SOM, TN, NH4+, K), weed suppression, growth. had far highest fruit yield,...
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common female cancer, with uterine ectocervix being commonly affected site. However, cervical stem cells, their differentiation, and regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we report isolation of a population enriched for human cells regulatory mechanisms. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, characterize cellular heterogeneity identify cluster-specific cell surface markers. By establishing normal precancerous organoids an intralingual transplantation...
Early detection of nutrient deficiencies is crucial for optimizing crop yields and ensuring sustainable agricultural practices. This study presents a novel application the YOLOv8s object model identifying nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium in soybean plants. Employing unique dataset from long-term nutrient-deficient field maintained over 40 years, we trained evaluated on 6,020 red, green, blue images leaves exhibiting stress conditions. The achieved exceptional performance, with mean average...
Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a non-scarring and progressive form of hair loss occurring in both men women. Although genetic predisposition sex steroid hormones are the main causes, many factors remain unknown, various extrinsic can negatively affect lifespan hair. We investigated skin-gut axis microorganisms as potential exogenous causing AGA, through comparative analyses scalp gut microbiome individuals with without AGA Korean cohort. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we characterized...
Although emerging evidence revealed that the gut microbiome served as a tool and biomarkers for predicting detecting specific cancer or illness, it is yet unknown if vaginal microbiome-derived bacterial markers can be used predictive model to predict severity of CIN. In this study, we sequenced V3 region 16S rRNA gene on swab samples from 66 participants (24 CIN 1−, 42 2+ patients) investigated taxonomic composition. The microbial diversity was not significantly different between 1− groups....
Peach gummosis disease has been identified as a serious challenge in Korean agriculture and developed to become major cause of agricultural productivity losses. However, treatments for have not systemically established studies the microbiome closely related this plant are lacking. Therefore, we analyzed bacterial fungal communities bark rhizosphere soil healthy peach trees those with gummosis. Through high-throughput sequencing, obtained unprecedented insights into dynamics each group,...
Abstract Background Biofumigation is a non-chemical sustainable approach that reshapes soil microbiota to overcome challenges in way of continuous cultivation. However, the type and quantity substrate have significant impact on shifts subsequent success biofumigation. Moreover, studies effects biofumigant concentration combination with fumigation duration dynamics are very rare. Research methods We performed microcosm experiments investigate how (Korean canola cultivar, HanRa) at various...
The population of the Korean fir, Abies koreana , is declining at an accelerating rate, and average mortality rate in 2019 exceeded 36.43% on Mt. Hallasan Jeju Island, Republic Korea. Several prior studies have reported different reasons with various interpretations, indicating that additional data, such as data microbial communities promote plant growth resistance to abiotic stresses, are required understand phenomenon further. This first investigation documents changes soil fungal...
Skin aging involves biomechanical changes like decreased elasticity, increased wrinkle formation, and altered barrier function. The skin microbiome significantly impacts this process. Here, we investigated the effects of Cutibacterium acnes abundance increase in other microorganisms on properties 60 healthy Koreans from Seoul, divided into younger (20–29 years) older (60–75 groups. Metagenomic sequencing assessments showed that group exhibited C. dominance microbial diversity, correlating...
Livestock odors are unavoidable problems in modern industrial society. We foresaw a role for fermented organic wastes controlling odorous gases. In this study, we applied coffee grounds to the floor area of dairy cow barn and assessed alterations odor compounds microbial shift over period three weeks. The treatment dramatically reduced ten (more than 50%), highlighting utility as an excellent product reduce derived from manure. By end treatment, consortium showed increases rare families...
This study presented the complete genome sequence of B. amyloliquefaciens KNU-28 isolated from leaves peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch). The this strain comprised one chromosome with 4,238,926 bp and 45.9% GC content.
The long-tailed goral is close to extinction, and ex situ conservation essential prevent this phenomenon. Studies on the gut microbiome of are important for understanding ecology species. We amplified DNA from 16S rRNA regions compared microbiomes wild gorals two types captive gorals. Our findings revealed that diversity greatly reduced when they reared in captivity. A comparison confirmed animals with a more diverse diet exhibit greater diversity. Redundancy analysis distributed throughout...
Cervical adenocarcinoma (AC), a subtype of uterine cervical cancer (CC), poses challenge due to its resistance therapy and poor prognosis compared with squamous carcinoma.

Cutibacterium acnes is a Gram-positive bacterium commonly found on human skin, particularly in sebaceous areas. While it typically considered commensal, specific strain types based single locus sequence typing (SLST) have been associated with pathogenic conditions or healthy skin. Recently, SLST D1 strains, part of phylotype IA1, received attention for their potential benefits related to skin health. However, genetic characteristics remain underexplored. Therefore, the whole genome C. CN6,...
