SynCom‐mediated herbicide degradation activates microbial carbon metabolism in soils

iMeta, EarlyView.
Extensive herbicide residues in the black soil of northeastern China are considered a significant agricultural pollution threat, yet effective bioremediation of this complex and persistent mixture remains a challenge. We provided an herbicide degradation and ecosystem regulation model of SynCom in soil. We also demonstrated the effectiveness of SynCom “

A gut microbiota‐bile acid axis inhibits the infection of an emerging coronavirus by targeting its cellular receptor aminopeptidase N

iMeta, EarlyView.
Bacteroides fragilis employs bile salt hydrolase to reprogram host bile acid metabolism, generating lithocholic acid that directly blocks porcine deltacoronavirus infection by disrupting spike protein‐aminopeptidase N binding, defining a microbiota‐bile acid antiviral axis with therapeutic potential against coronaviruses.

Toxicological Response of the BEAS‐2B Cell After Acute Exposure at the Air–Liquid Interface to Ethylbenzene and m‐Xylene Alone and in Binary Mixtures

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (o‐, m‐, and p‐xylenes) constitute a family, named BTEX, of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) known for its toxicity. This study aimed to study the acute in vitro toxicity of ethylbenzene and m‐xylene on human bronchial epithelial cells exposed at the air–liquid interface (ALI).

Late Quaternary population expansion in gray brocket deer [Subulo gouazoubira (G. Fisher, 1814), Cervidae, Mammalia] in Brazil

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is little information about the changes in the abundance of mammalian species in South America during the late Quaternary, which is a key parameter to understanding past ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Here, we describe a conspicuous increase in the abundance of the gray brocket deer (Subulo gouazoubira G.

The role of light quality and species richness in shaping phytoplankton communities

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract In natural water bodies, the light spectrum changes with depth, often toward a higher proportion of blue light. While spectral niche partitioning and functional redundancy are important concepts, our understanding of how light spectrum changes affect phytoplankton communities is limited.

Origin and characterization of cyclodepsipeptides: Comprehensive structural approaches with focus on mass spectrometry analysis of alkali‐cationized molecular species

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cyclodepsipeptides (CDPs) represent a huge family of chemically and structurally diverse molecules with a wide ability for molecular interactions. CDPs are cyclic peptide‐related natural products made up of both proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids linked by amide and ester bonds.

The importance of aboveground and belowground interspecific interactions in determining crop growth and advantages of peanut/maize intercropping

Crop Journal, 2021
Intercropping of maize (Zea mays L.) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) often results in greater yields than the respective sole crops. However, there is limited knowledge of aboveground and belowground interspecific interactions between maize and peanut ...

The latitudinal gradient in European ant dark diversity: patterns and potential mechanisms

Oikos, EarlyView.
Observed richness has long been the basis for studies of species distribution patterns and community ecology, but dark diversity (i.e. the group of species in the regional pool that can live under the specific local environmental conditions but which are not part of the local species richness) has recently gained prominence for providing complementary ...

Resource inequality limits transfer of nutrients from soils to plants in experimental grassland

Oikos, EarlyView.
A system's functioning is influenced not only by resource availability but also, likely, by resource inequality. In ecological systems most experimental manipulations of resource availability typically focused on homogeneous resource addition, or spatial heterogeneity of resources in a qualitative sense. Here, we test whether resource inequality per se
