文摘Microorganisms are crucial for the breakdown of proteins and lipids in dry-fermented sausages and are intimately associated with the flavor profile of sausages.In this study,we used a mixed starter culture to ferment sausages and investigated the flavor turnover.During the fermentation of salami,the data from free amino acids(FAAs),free fatty acids(FFAs)and volatile flavor substances were used to assess the quality of salami.At the end of fermentation,the total FAAs increased from 1171.32 to 4582.48 mg/kg in the control group and 5053.25 mg/kg in the experimental group.Additionally,following inoculation with the mixed starter culture,the levels of glutamic acid,lysine,methionine,valine and leucine were significantly higher(P<0.05)than those in the control group.Oleic acid(C_(18:1))and chondritic acid(C_(16:0))were the two most abundant FFAs in both salami samples with 45.86%and 26.07%on the 23^(th)day in mixed culture inoculated salami.The mixed starter inoculated group had significantly lower saturated fatty acids and higher percentage levels of monounsaturated fatty acids than the control group(P<0.05).In the volatile flavor substance analysis,a total of 61 volatile compounds were found.Ester compounds were progressively enriched with drying time,significantly increasing the flavor substances,like ethyl diphosgene,1-octen-3-ol,and 2,3-butanediol at P<0.05.The correlation analysis between the core flora and volatile flavor compounds during fermentation and maturation of salami indicates Lactobacillus sakei and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were significantly higher and positively correlated with the major volatile organic compounds,which are the key core microorganisms affecting the flavor quality of fermented sausages.

文摘Microorganisms can colonize the surface of microplastics(MPs)to form a distinctive microbiome,known as a“plastisphere”which is regarded as an anthropogenic niche for microbial growth.However,bacterial community assembly in virgin and aging MP plastispheres across different habitats is poorly understood.This study aims to assess the variations in bacterial community assembly across different niches and habitats with an in situ ex-periment,in which constructed forest wetland(FW),natural lake wetland(LW),and lotus pond wetland(LP)were habitats,and plastispheres of virgin and aging low-density polyethylene(LDPE)MPs,as well as surround-ing wetland soils were niches.Significant niche-related differences in bacterial communities were observed,with lower diversity and enrichment of potential plastic-degrading bacteria in the plastisphere than in the soil bacterial communities.Furthermore,habitat-related differences exerted a more pronounced influence on the beta-diversity patterns of the bacterial communities.The linear regression analyses indicated that the local species pool con-tributed more to bacterial community assembly in the LW wetland,whereas the relative abundance of species was the primary factor in the LP wetland.The null model analysis indicated that plastisphere bacterial communi-ties were predominantly driven by the stochastic process,with a more deterministic assembly observed in the LP wetland and soil bacterial communities.Additionally,the primary ecological process shaping plastisphere com-munities shifted from drift in the virgin LDPE to homogenising dispersal in the aging LDPE.This study provides new insights into the fate and ecological impacts of MPs in wetlands,thereby facilitating the effective regulations of plastic pollution.

文摘Open earthen pond-based larviculture is the main method for rearing Chinese mitten crab(Eriocheir sinensis)larvae in China.Bacterioplankton play a vital role in aquaculture ecosystems,but their community succession throughout the larval nursery stages of E.sinensis in such systems is still poorly understood.Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing,this study characterized the dynamics of bacterioplankton communities during a complete E.sinensis larval rearing cycle in open earthen ponds.Results presented a distinct,unidirectional succession in bacterioplankton composition,characterized by a decrease in Alphaproteobacteria and an increase in Actinobacteria.Live feeds(Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia salina)significantly affected bacterioplankton communities directly through their biological activities and indirectly by modifying the structure of phytoplankton composition.In addition to live feeds,water temperature and dissolved oxygen were key environmental factors affecting the structure of bacterioplankton communities.Biotic interactions,specifically with phytoplankton and copepods,were key drivers of bacterioplankton succession.Routine feeding practices during larval cultivation decreased bacterioplankton network complexity and strengthened community stability.Keystone taxa,specifically OTU783(Rhodobacteraceae)and OTU1235(Microbacteriaceae),played an essential role in maintaining the community stability through recruiting more rare species during the later stages despite their low abundances.These outcomes advance our understanding of the mechanisms central to bacterioplankton community succession and stability in E.sinensis larviculture systems,offering critical insights for developing sustainable aquaculture management strategies.

文摘Heavy metal contamination of soil is one of the major challenges to sustainable agriculture.This contamination can be transmitted through the soil food chain and poses a serious threat to human health.In this study,we found that freeze-thaw leaching(FTL)effectively complements the low removal rate of chemical leaching,and investigated the effects of different numbers of FTL on Cd contamination,soil chemical properties and microbial communities.The results showed that repeated FTL significantly reduced(P<0.05)the total Cd content in the top soil(19.02%-49.35%)and subsoil(0.41%-21.13%)and promoted the transformation of Cd to a more stable form,mainly through various removal mechanisms such as complexation,ion-exchange,and chemical precipitation.This finding was supported by reductions in several soil properties,including pH,available potassium(AK),and available phosphorus(AP).FTL treatment initially increased the bioavailability of Cd compared to chemical leaching,but bioavailability of Cd progressively decreased as the number of freeze-thaw cycles increased.Additionally,FTL reduced the richness and diversity of bacteria communities,destabilized ecological symbiotic networks,while increasing the richness and diversity of fungi in the soil.Various model analyses indicated that FTL treatment,available Cd,soil pH,AP and AK were the key drivers influencing the changes in microbial community structure.This study provides new insights and scientific bases for the effective management of heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils,the restoration of ecosystem health,and the improvement of soil sustainability.
文摘With the accelerating aging process of China’s population,the demand for community elderly care services has shown diversified and personalized characteristics.However,problems such as insufficient total care service resources,uneven distribution,and prominent supply-demand contradictions have seriously affected service quality.Big data technology,with core advantages including data collection,analysis and mining,and accurate prediction,provides a new solution for the allocation of community elderly care service resources.This paper systematically studies the application value of big data technology in the allocation of community elderly care service resources from three aspects:resource allocation efficiency,service accuracy,and management intelligence.Combined with practical needs,it proposes optimal allocation strategies such as building a big data analysis platform and accurately grasping the elderly’s care needs,striving to provide operable path references for the construction of community elderly care service systems,promoting the early realization of the elderly care service goal of“adequate support and proper care for the elderly”,and boosting the high-quality development of China’s elderly care service industry.

文摘In this work,ofloxacin(OFL),a kind of frequently detected antibiotic in groundwater,was selected to explore its impact(at ng/L-μg/L-level)on denitrification performance in an autotrophic denitrification system driven by pyrite/sulfur(FeS2/S0).Results showed that OFL restrained nitrate removal efficiency,and the inhibition degree was positively related to the concentration of OFL.After being exposed to increased OFL(200 ng/L-100μg/L)for 69 days,higher inhibition of electron transport activity(ETSA),enzyme activities of nitrate reductase(NAR),and nitrite reductase(NIR)were acquired.Meanwhile,the extracellular protein(PN)content of sludge samples was remarkably stimulated by OFL to resist the augmented toxicity.OFL contributed to increased microbial diversity and sulfur/sulfide oxidation functional genes in ng/L-level bioreactors,whereas led to a decline inμg/L level experiments.With OFL at concentrations of 200 ng/L and 100μg/L,the whole expression of 10 key denitrification functional genes was depressed,and the higher the OFL concentration,the lower the expression level.However,no significant proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)either in 200 ng/L-OFL or 100μg/L-OFL groups was observed.Two-factor correlation analysis results indicated that Thiobacillus,Anaerolineae,Anaerolineales,and Nitrospirae might be the main hosts of existing ARGs in this system.

文摘Liquid-solid phase transfer promotes the interaction of perfluoroalkyl acids(PFAAs)with the microbial system of river sediments,which may affect the environmental behavior of antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)contained in benthic environments.Sediments collected from the receiving water of the largest fluoropolymer production facility in China were analyzed to investigate the impact of PFAAs on microbial communities and ARG profiles.The main contributors to the PFAAs were perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorobutanoic acid,whose proportions(86.9%-93.4%)in the downstream surface sediments affected by industrial effluents were significantly higher than in the corresponding upstream samples(53.3%).A reduction in microbial diversity and richness was observed in the presence of high concentrations of PFAAs at the downstream sites.144 ARG subtypes,including three high-risk subtypes(bacA,aac(6′)-I and aadA),were identified in sediment samples.The discharge of fluorochemical effluents also results in a reduction of ARG diversity at subtype level.PFAAs exert a pronounced influence on the profile of ARGs in sediment.PFAAs and water quality parameters(e.g.pH and total phosphorus)were key drivers of the microbial community composition in the sediment.The regulation of microbial communities by PFAAs may represent an important pathway by which these compounds affect ARG profiles.
