Multi-Level Transcriptomic and Physiological Responses of to Different Light Intensities Reveal a Moderate-Light Adaptation Strategy.

Objectives: Light intensity is a critical environmental factor regulating plant growth, development, and stress adaptation. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying light responses in , a valuable alpine medicinal plant, remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the adaptive strategies of under different light intensities through integrated physiological and transcriptomic analyses.

Regulatory Mechanisms of Exogenous Gibberellin on Seed Germination and Transcriptomic Responses in .

Gibberellins (GAs) are essential phytohormones that regulate seed dormancy release and germination. (L.) Fries ex Nym is a traditional medicinal plant whose seed germination is often hindered by physiological dormancy.

Associations between maternal glycemic level and lipid profile and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective study from China.

Purpose: To investigate the associations between maternal glucose and lipid metabolism and adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: A retrospective cohort of pregnant women with T2DM who delivered at Peking University First Hospital was included. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify risk factors.

Identification of correlation relationships and establishment of regression models among multiple microbial indicators in reclaimed waters.

Monitoring and controlling microbial water quality is crucial for ensuring water reuse safety. In particular, existing water reuse guidelines and regulations normally prescribed coliform bacteria as microbial indicators. However, the use of non-unified coliform groups may bring difficulties to compare and optimize the conformity efforts on microbial surveillance.

Computationally reconstructing the evolution of cancer progression risk.

Understanding the evolution of cancer in its early stages is critical to identifying key drivers of cancer progression and developing better early diagnostics or prophylactic treatments. Early cancer is difficult to observe, though, since it is generally asymptomatic until extensive genetic damage has accumulated. In this study, we develop a computational approach to infer how once-healthy cells enter into and become committed to a pathway of aggressive cancer.

Synergistic ferrate(VI) and chlorine for reclaimed water disinfection: Microbial control and chlorine decay mitigation.

Chlorination is the most widely used disinfection technology due to its simplicity and continuous disinfection ability. However, the drawbacks of disinfection by-products and chlorine-resistant bacteria have gained increasing attention. Nowadays, ferrate (Fe(VI)) is a multifunctional and environmentally friendly agent which has great potential in wastewater reclamation and reuse.

Inactivation of Bacteria in Water by Ferrate(VI): Efficiency and Mechanisms.

Ferrate (Fe(VI)) is an emerging green disinfectant and has received increasing attention nowadays. This study conducted systematic analyses of Fe(VI) disinfection on six typical bacteria in different water matrices. The results showed that Fe(VI) was more effective in inactivating Gram-negative (G-) bacteria than Gram-positive (G+) bacteria, and the disinfection performance of Fe(VI) was better in a phosphate buffer than that in a borate buffer and secondary effluent.

Effects of water quality on bacterial inactivation by ferrate(VI).

Ferrate (Fe(VI)) is an emerging green oxidant which has great potential and prospect in water disinfection. However, the effects of water quality on Fe(VI) disinfection remain unclear. This study systematically investigated the effects of pH, organic matters and inorganic ions on Fe(VI) inactivation of Escherichia coli (E.

Modeling and optimization of synergistic ozone-ultraviolet-chlorine process for reclaimed water disinfection: From laboratory tests to software simulation.

The ozone-ultraviolet (UV)-chlorine process is a highly effective method of disinfection in water reuse system, but currently still lacks precise quantification and accurate control. It is difficult to determine the dosage of each disinfectant because of the complex interactions that occur between disinfection units and the complicated mathematical calculation required. In this study, we proposed a dosage optimization model for ozone-UV-chlorine synergistic disinfection process.

Identification of significant live bacterial community shifts in different reclaimed waters during ozone and chlorine disinfection.

Ozone and chlorine are the most widely used disinfectants for water and wastewater disinfection. They play important role in microbial inactivation but could also pose a considerable selection effect on the microbial community of reclaimed water. Classical culture-based methods that rely on the assessment of conventional bacterial indicators (e.

Synergistic effects of UV and chlorine in bacterial inactivation for sustainable water reclamation and reuse.

Disinfection is a necessity in water and wastewater treatment and reclamation. This study examined the inactivation of a disinfectant resistant but widely existed opportunistic pathogen in reclaimed water, Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), by sequential UV and chlorine disinfection or simultaneous UV and chlorine disinfection (UV/Cl).

[Discussion of Microbial Control Standards of Water Reclamation and Formulation Methods].

The key to water reclamation and reuse is water quality safety insurance and risk control. Microbial risk control is an important issue that requires priority during the safe reuse of reclaimed water. This paper systematically summarizes the control requirements for microbial indicators in China's current water reuse standards, focusing on the necessity and deficiencies of water quality targets and microbial indicator concentration control.

Photosynthetic bacteria wastewater treatment with the production of value-added products: A review.

Wastewater resource recovery can generate environmental and economic benefits; especially, value-added substance recovery from wastewater can create profits. Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) can produce protein, coenzyme Q, 5-ALA, carotenoids, bacteriochlorin, and polyhydroxyalkanoates while treating wastewaters. This review consists of four parts: (1) PSB wastewater treatment, including influence factors and enhancement methods for value-added substances production; (2) downstream processing, including cell separation from effluent, extraction of value-added substances, and purification; (3) comparison among different wastewater resource recovery technologies and brief economic analysis; (4) future development.

Formation of nanoscale Te and its effect on TeO reduction in CH-based membrane biofilm reactor.

Formation and recovery of elemental tellurium (Te) from wastewaters are required by increasing demands and scarce resources. Membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) using gaseous electron donor has been reported as a low-cost and benign technique to reduce and recover metal (loids). In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of nanoscale Te formation by tellurite (TeO) reduction in a CH-based MBfR.
