High-altitude adaptation and associated mortality risk in relocated Holstein cattle.

Journal of Dairy Science
This study evaluated the adaptability of Holstein cattle to high-altitude environments following their relocation from low-altitude regions (3,500 m) and identified risk factors associated with physiological maladaptation.

Effects of Different LED Lights on the Growth Performance and Serum Lysozyme Activity of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio and Bacterial Communities in a Closed Recirculating System

Fishes
We evaluated the effect of our light-emitting diode (LED) light treatments (blue, peak at 468 nm; green, peak at 537 nm; red, peak at 630 nm; and white light) on the growth performance and serum lysozyme activity of the common carp Cyprinus carpio and ...

Shared host-genetic architecture between gut microbiota and internalizing psychopathology

medRxiv
Whether gut microbial composition is causally linked to mental illness, or merely correlated with it, remains unresolved. Using genetic variants as natural instruments (Mendelian randomization, MR), we tested the genetically predicted effects of 211 gut ...

Genomic insights into Candidatus Argioplasma dusa, a bacterial symbiont of the wasp spider Argiope bruennichi

bioRxiv
Bacterial symbionts were shown to have significant beneficial impacts on the fitness of their host in insects, but little is known on the symbionts of spiders and their interactions with their hosts.

Metagenomic analysis of the vaginal microbiota in cows with ovarian cysts

Journal of Veterinary Research
Introduction This study compared the vaginal microbiota composition of dairy cows with follicular and luteal ovarian cysts using metagenomic analysis. Material and Methods Ovarian cysts, which impair reproductive performance through endocrine disruption,

Comparison of the Intestinal Microbiota Composition and Function of Red Claw Crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) Cultured in Ponds and Rice Fields

Fishes
The growth environment significantly influences the intestinal microbiota of aquatic organisms. We investigated the composition and functional differences in the intestinal microbiota of red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) in rice fields (RB) and ...

Microcystis aeruginosa msoT1/msoA1 Locus Displays Features of a Type I Toxin–Antitoxin System

Toxins
Type I toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems consist of a protein toxin that exerts a cytostatic or cytotoxic effect and an antisense RNA antitoxin that prevents translation of the toxin.
