文摘Anammox bacteria in constructed wetlands(CWs)play pivotal role in sustainable nitrogen transformation,yet existing studies lack comprehensive analysis of environmental gradients and microbial interactions,both key factors in anammox bacteria enrichment.This study investigated the mechanisms driving anammox bacteria enrichment in lab-scale simulated CWs treating high-nitrogen wastewater,focusing on bacterial community re-sponses across wetland layers with various strategies,including continuous up-flow influent,nitrogen loading increase,effluent recirculation,intermittent influent,and anammox bacteria inoculation.Results showed that total relative and absolute abundances of anammox bacteria ranged from 0.77%to 12.50%and from 0.13 to 6.46×10^(7) copies/g,respectively.Dissolved oxygen and pH had significant positive correlations with the absolute abundance of anammox bacteria,while organic matter and nitrate negatively impacted their relative abundance.Permutational multivariate analysis of variance indicated that spatial heterogeneity explained more variation in anammox bacteria abundance(43.44%)compared to operational strategies(8.58%).In terms of microbial interactions,60 dominant species exhibited potential correlations with anammox bacteria,comprising 170 interactions(105 positive and 65 negative),which suggested that anammox bacteria generally foster cooperative relationships with dominant bacteria.Notably,significant interspecies interactions were observed between Candidatus Kuenenia(dominant anammox bacteria in CWs)and species within the genera Chitinivibrio-nia and Anaerolineaceae,suggesting that microbial interactions primarily manifest as indirect facilitative effects rather than direct mutualistic relationships.Given that the Normalized Stochasticity Ratio in CWs were<50%,this study inferred that environmental gradients have greater influence on anammox bacteria than microbial interactions.

文摘Oxidative potential(OP)can be used as an indicator of the health risks of particulate matter in the air.To study the variation and sources of OP,we conducted an observation of PM_(2.5) in a megacity in southern China in winter and spring of 2021.The results show that the average concentration of PM_(2.5) decreased by 47%from winter to spring,while volume-normalized and mass-normalized OP(i.e.,OP_(v) and OP_(m))increased by 6%and 69%,respectively.It suggests that the decline of PM_(2.5) may not necessarily decrease the health risks and the intrinsic toxicity of PM_(2.5).Variations of OP_(v) and OP_(m) among different periods were related to the different source contributions and environmental conditions.The positive matrix factorization model was used to identify the major sources of OP_(v).OP_(v) was mainly contributed by biomass burning/industrial emissions(29%),soil/road dust(20%),secondary sulfate(14%),and coal combustion(13%)in winter.Different major sources were resolved to be secondary sulfate(36%),biological sources(21%),and marine vessels(20%)in spring,presenting the substantial contribution of biological sources.The analysis shows strong associations between OP_(v) and both live and dead bacteria,further confirming the important contribution of bioaerosols to the enhancement of OP.This study highlights the importance of understanding OP in ambient PM_(2.5) in terms of public health impact and provides a new insight into the biological contribution to OP.

文摘Foodborne bacteria produce biofilms and their viable but non-culturable(VBNC)formation,can affect food quality and safety.Studies have shown that these characteristics are regulated by the bacterial quorum sensing(QS)system.Quenching the QS system of foodborne bacteria and blocking the expression of the corresponding genes may be an effective way to improve food quality and safety.Therefore,this article reviews the QS systems for foodborne bacteria,the regulatory mechanisms of QS systems in biofilm and VBNC formation and resuscitation,the research progress on quorum sensing inhibitors(QSIs)for Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria,and introduces QSIs from various sources.In addition,we have also summarized the current research issues on QS regulation of biofilms and VBNC formation.The systematic study of the QS phenomenon of foodborne bacteria in practical situations,the mechanism of bacterial QS cooperation-cheating,the screening of novel and highly active QSIs,the combination of QSIs and other technologies to improve their bioavailability,and the regulatory network between biofilm and VBNC formation and resuscitation are research directions that need to be paid attention to in the future.

文摘The mechanisms leading to neurological and neurodegenerative diseases are not completely known,and new,more effective,therapeutic treatments are necessary for most neurological pathologies.The treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative diseases is complicated due to the blood-brain barrier,which makes it difficult for drugs to access the brain areas in which they must act to improve the pathology.A tool that can help to overcome this difficulty is the use of extracellular vesicles,which can easily cross the blood-brain barrier.The extracellular vesicles are considered a main way of communication between the brain and the rest of the body,with important implications for the physiopathology and therapy of neurological diseases.In recent years,the involvement of microbiota in many neurological pathologies,as well as its possible therapeutic role,has also become evident.A key mediator in the pathologic and beneficial effects of microbiota seems to be the bacterial extracellular vesicles.There is an important communication between the brain and the intestinal microbiota(the gut-brain axis),by which the microbiota influences brain function,impacts on mental health,and plays a role in different neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.The identification of the mechanisms involved in this gut-brain axis is essential to understanding the mechanisms of neurological pathologies and to developing more effective treatments for these diseases.Bacterial extracellular vesicles would play a relevant role in these processes.This review compiles the recent information and evidence on the role of bacterial extracellular vesicles in brain pathologies and on the therapeutic utility of bacterial extracellular vesicles in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.One advantage of bacterial extracellular vesicles compared to extracellular vesicles derived from other cell types,such as stem cells,is that bacterial extracellular vesicles are generally easier to produce and modify.Bacterial extracellular vesicles may be easily modified to target a specific pathology and/or to enhance its therapeutic efficacy.Although the studies are still scarce,they open a wide field of possibilities for future studies,which will lead to a deeper understanding of the role of microbiota and bacterial extracellular vesicles in neurological pathologies and the underlying mechanisms,as well as to the development of new treatments based on the use of bacterial extracellular vesicles in neurological diseases.
文摘[Objectives]To assess the effects of endophytic bacteria on the growth,antioxidant responses,and the production of key secondary metabolites in Emilia prenanthoidea DC.[Methods]Three endophytic strains(H1,H2,L1)were inoculated onto tissue-cultured seedlings and cultivated for 20 d under greenhouse conditions.Growth traits,reactive oxygen species(ROS)indicators,antioxidant enzyme activities,and the content of chlorogenic acid and quercetin were analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey s test.[Results]Bacterial inoculation significantly enhanced plant performance.Treatment H2 increased plant height by 27%,chlorophyll content by 73%,and fresh weight by 31%.Levels of ROS(O^(-)_(2),H_(2)O_(2))and MDA decreased markedly,whereas the activities of POD and CAT increased.Additionally,the content of chlorogenic acid and quercetin increased by up to 67%and 64%,respectively,with both H2 and L1 treatments showing the most pronounced effects.[Conclusions]Endophytic bacteria markedly improve growth,redox balance,and phenolic accumulation in E.prenanthoidea.Strain H2 represents a promising bioinoculant for improving the medicinal quality of this species.

文摘In Rhodopseudomonas palustris,an arsM gene,encoding bacterial and archaeal homologues of the mammalian Cyt19 As（III） S-adenosylmethionine methytransferase,was regulated by arsenicals.An expression of arsM was introduced into strains for the methylation of arsenic.When arsM was expressed in Sphingomonas desiccabilis and Bacillus idriensis,it had 10 folds increase of methyled arsenic gas compared to wild type in aqueous system.In soil system,about 2.2%–4.5% of arsenic was removed by biovolatilization during 30 days.This study demonstrated that arsenic could be removed through volatilization from the contaminated soil by bacteria which have arsM gene expressed.These results showed that it is possible to use microorganisms expressing arsM as an inexpensive,efficient strategy for arsenic bioremediation from contaminated water and soil.
