Functional genes and bacterial community assembly dynamics: Key drivers of CO emission in the (sub-)deep reservoir biological carbon pump (BCP).

The biological carbon pump (BCP) plays a crucial role in carbon sequestration and sustaining water ecosystems, yet the functional genes and bacterial community assembly in (sub-)deep reservoirs BCP remain largely unexplored. In this study, carbon isotope composition (δC), High Throughput Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (HT-qPCR), and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were used to explore the relationship between microbial dynamics and CO emissions in (sub-)deep reservoir systems. Despite exhibiting high primary productivity (δCᴅɪᴄ: 3.

ASBT(SLC10A2): A promising target for treatment of diseases and drug discovery.

Bile acids has gradually become a new focus in various diseases, and ASBT as a transporter responsible for the reabsorption of ileal bile acids, is a key hinge associated to the bile acids-cholesterol balance and bile acids of enterohepatic circulation. The cumulative studies have also shown that ASBT is a promising target for treatment of liver, gallbladder, intestinal and metabolic diseases. This article briefly reviewed the process of bile acids enterohepatic circulation, as well as the regulations of ASBT expression, covering transcription factors, nuclear receptors and gut microbiota.

Establishing a rapid classification and identification method for the major triterpenoids of Alisma orientale.

Introduction: Alismatis Rhizoma (AR) has been widely used to treat various diseases. Its complex chemical composition has caused certain difficulties in the analysis of this traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a method for the rapid classification and identification of the chemical constituents of AR.

Simultaneous determination of five phytohormones in mungbean sprouts of China by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

A simple and rapid micellar electrokinetic chromatography method was developed for simultaneous determination of indole-3-acetic acid, indole-3-butyric acid, gibberellic acid, abscisic acid and naphthylacetic acid in mungbean sprouts for monitoring plant growth and development. The effects of several parameters related to the separation and determination were investigated in detail. The analysis was carried out using 10 mM borax, 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 90 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 5% acetonitrile as running buffer (pH 9.
