Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.

Grassland forage legumes and drought mitigation – sheep wool application improved soil water availability and enhanced drought–stress responses

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sheep wool may reduce drought stress in grasslands when used as a soil amendment. Two experiments were conducted to explore if: (i) water absorbed by wool would be biologically ‘active’ and therefore available to plants, using a novel method of measuring water activity (aw); and, (ii) adding wool to compost would delay water stress ...

Iron/Manganese Oxide‐Bound Nitrogen Suppresses Microbial Mediated Nitrate Reduction in Soil

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen cycling plays a pivotal role in sustaining ecosystem productivity and stability, while the chemical forms of nitrogen in soils critically influence both its efficiency and pathways. In this study, farmland soils from the Anning River Basin—an important watershed in Southwest China—were investigated to examine the regulatory effects of

Community structure of archaea in the sediment and water of meromictic Lake Kivu, East Africa [PDF]

, 2011
Lake Kivu is a meromictic lake situated between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda. The lake is renowned for its unique hydrological and chemical features. It features permanent density stratification, with a seasonal thermocline (50 m depth)

Flexible TAM requirement of TnpB enables efficient single-nucleotide editing with expanded targeting scope

Nature Communications
TnpBs encoded by the IS200/IS605 family transposon are among the most abundant prokaryotic proteins from which type V CRISPR-Cas nucleases may have evolved.

Sodium sulfite can reliably induce chemical hypoxia without toxic effects in the model sea anemone species, Exaiptasia diaphana

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is accelerating the deoxygenation of aquatic ecosystems, so understanding its effects on biological processes is increasingly critical. An emerging method for inducing hypoxia during experimentation utilizes sodium sulfite (SSI) to scavenge oxygen; however, it remains unclear if hypoxia‐inducing concentrations of SSI are toxic ...

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...

Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.
