This study aimed to unravel how undernutrition reshapes the microbial composition and the homeostasis of epithelium in the jejunum and ileum. Sixteen late-gestation Hu-sheep were randomly assigned to the control group(n=8, 100% ad libitum feeding levels) or the undernutrition group(n=8, which received 30% ad libitum feeding levels). After 15-d treatment, all ewes were slaughtered, and jejunal and ileal digesta and epithelium samples were collected for 16S rRNA gene sequencing and transcriptome sequencing,respectively. Results indicated that undernutrition decreased the jejunal and ileal tissue weights(P=0.005 and P=0.022) and the levels of volatile fatty acids(P=0.019 and P=0.007) and microbial protein levels(P=0.019 and P=0.031) in jejunal and ileal digesta. The relative abundance of acetate producing microbiota, including Clostridia UCG-014 norank, Ruminococcus, [Ruminococcus] gauvreauii, and Lachnospiraceae_Blautia, were significantly reduced(P<0.05) in the jejunum and ileum. Undernutrition up-regulated(P<0.05) the expression of genes involved in amino acid synthesis and fatty acid oxidation,but down-regulated(P<0.05) the expression of genes associated with amino acid degradation, fatty acid synthesis, and extracellular structures in jejunal and ileal epithelium. In the jejunal epithelium, genes associated with extracellular matrix-receptor interactions, cell growth, and immune response were down-regulated(P<0.05) upon undernutrition. Taken together, undernutrition changed the microbial community in the jejunum and ileum, which altered the fermentation mode and the production of volatile fatty acids and microbial protein. These affected the energy and protein system in the epithelium and reprogrammed substance metabolism and extracellular structures, which probably further influenced cell growth and immune response. These insights provide a foundation for completely clarifying the crosstalk between small intestinal microbiota and the host.展开更多
Inspired by natural photosynthesis, a new series of Z-scheme Cd_xZn_(1-x)S/Au/g-C_3N_4 photocatalysts were synthesized via depositing Au particles on g-C_3N_4, followed by anchoring CdxZn_(1-x)S solid solution on the ...Inspired by natural photosynthesis, a new series of Z-scheme Cd_xZn_(1-x)S/Au/g-C_3N_4 photocatalysts were synthesized via depositing Au particles on g-C_3N_4, followed by anchoring CdxZn_(1-x)S solid solution on the pre-formed Au/g-C_3N_4 for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. Their structure, morphology and optical property were investigated in detail. Photocatalytic activities of the developed photocatalysts for water splitting were evaluated under visible-light irradiation(k > 420 nm) using glucose as electron donor.The highest hydrogen evolution rate of 123 lmol g^(-1)h^(-1)is achieved by Cd_(0.8Z)n_(0.2)S/Au/g-C_3N_4, which is 52.2 and 8.63 times higher than that of Au/g-C_3N_4 and Cd S/Au/g-C_3N_4, respectively. The results of photoluminescence spectra, photoelectrochemical and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra indicate that the improved photocatalytic activities for Cd_xZn_(1-x)S/Au/g-C_3N_4 are due to the efficient separation of photogenerated carriers. In addition, it is noteworthy that the undesired byproducts CO and CO_2 are greatly reduced by introducing CdxZn_(1-x)S over Au/g-C_3N_4 surface. In the photocatalytic process, gluconic acid originated from the reaction of photogenerated hydroxyl radical with glucose plays a vital role on suppressing the formation of the gas byproducts. The present work will provide a new strategy to design Z-scheme photocatalysts with enhanced efficiency for water splitting along with suppressing the byproducts.展开更多
