Major engineering breakthrough of Well XA‐1, the deepest ten‐thousand‐meter well in a global sedimentary basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Well XA‐1, completed at a true vertical depth of 11 156 m in the Shawan Sag of the Junggar Basin, is the deepest predominantly near‐vertical well drilled in a sedimentary basin. The figure shows the basin's tectonic framework and well location (a), a structural cross‐section spanning the Shawan Sag and adjacent uplifts (b), and the stratigraphic column

The taxonomy of Amycolatopsis lurida TRM64739 and Bacillus haynesii

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionActinomycetes are a significant source of natural products. Amycolatopsis, a rare actinomycete, is particularly noted for its robust potential in secondary metabolite production, but most of the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) are silent ...

World's fastest 10 000‐m breakthrough: The XY‐22 well redefines deep‐earth access in the Tarim Basin

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The Tarim Basin in northwestern China hosts one of the world's deepest petroleum systems, exemplified by the XY‐22 ultra‐deep well (bottom depth: 11 116 m; ~220°C, ~145 MPa). This study integrates tectonic mapping, geological cross‐sections, ultraviolet fluorescence microscopy, and optical photothermal infrared (OPTIR) spectroscopy to characterize ...

Surfactin: a novel Aphis gossypii killing surfactin produced by Bacillus australimaris TRM82479 of Taklamakan Desert origin

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe cotton aphid Aphis gossypii poses a global, serious threat to cotton yield and quality. Although chemical pesticides are effective, pollution and resistance are increasingly prominent, making development of new biopesticides a priority in

Silurian to Devonian foreland basin in the south edge of Tarim Basin

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2002
Based on the theory of plate tectonics, combining with the isotopic dating of ophiolite, igneous and volcanics, geochemical test, rare earth element analyze and seismic interpretation, this paper studies the pre-Carboniferous tectonics and sedimentary formation of the south edge of the Tarim Basin and proves that there exists the Kunlun Ocean under ...

Low‐Temperature in Situ Upgrading of Ultra‐Deep Heavy Oil Using Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf Superacid Catalysts to Enhance Energy Utilization and Sustainability

EcoEnergy, EarlyView.
A triflate‐functionalized Ni–Ce/MOF–OTf superacid enables low‐temperature (∼140°C) in situ upgrading of ultra‐deep heavy oil. It reduces viscosity by 92.11% in 12 h, maintains activity over cycles, and delivers 90.25% recovery with a lower carbon footprint by selective bond cleavage. ABSTRACT Ultra‐deep heavy oil is an important unconventional resource,

The Relationship Between Human Activities and Ecosystem Service Supply–Demand From the Perspective of Land Use Transformation

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The equilibrium between ecosystem service supply and demand relationships (ESSDR) is essential for regional sustainable development. Understanding the relationship between human activity intensity (HAI) and ESSDR from the perspective of land use transformation (LT) is important for ecological management and governance.

RNA-seq analysis identifies key genes and signaling pathways involved in androgen promotion of sebaceous gland proliferation in Hetian sheep

Scientific Reports
Sebaceous glands (SGs), essential elements of the skin barrier in sheep, are tightly regulated by the androgen signaling pathway. This study investigated how androgens influence SGs hyperplasia in sheep by combining morphological assessments with ...
