Article Abstract

Few reports of microbial groups associated with the groundwater flow system are available in China. 16S rRNA gene library was constructed by the cultured-independent approach to investigate gene sequences of microorganism in groundwater samples from the recharge (R), intermediate (M) and discharge (D) zones of an experimental watershed at Zhuhai campus of Sun Yat-sen University. Proteobacterium, Candidate division OPx, uncultured archaeon (uncultured Crenarchaeote and Euryarchaeote) and Actinobacterium are found predominant in all these three zones with the Proteobacterium accounting for 23.21%, 36.21%, and 28.84% in R, M, D zone respectively. The other predominant microbial groups were identified for varied zones, e. g. Eubacterium and Nitrospira in the R wells, Eubacterium and Acidobacterium in the M wells, and Bacteroidetes bacterium in the D wells. Linkages and potential evolution of microbial groups among three zones were examined by using the genetic neighbor-joining tree. Environmental adaptation along the groundwater flow contributes to the similarity and discrepancy of microorganism in term of the genetic tree, and the ecological functions of the microbial groups need further assessment.

Development of dental caries is a dynamic process; yet, there is limited knowledge on microbial differences at various stages of caries at higher resolution. To investigate the shifting microbiome profiles across different caries stages, 30 children were enrolled in this study, including 15 caries-active patients and 15 caries-free individuals. Plaque samples were collected from the buccal surface of caries-free subjects, defined as confident health (CH; = 15).

Water deficit stress causes devastating loss of crop yield worldwide. Improving crop drought resistance has become an urgent issue. Here we report that a group of abscisic acid (ABA)/drought stress-induced monocot-specific, intrinsically disordered, and highly proline-rich proteins, REPETITIVE PROLINE-RICH PROTEINS (RePRPs), play pivotal roles in drought resistance in rice seedlings.

Background: Secondary fermentation can reduce variability in cocoa bean quality caused by the spontaneous, uncontrolled nature of primary fermentation. However, its optimization remains unexplored. This study evaluated the improvement of secondary fermentation through the combined use of Citrus limon peel and inoculation with Candida tropicalis H1Y4-1 as a starter.

Guangxi Key Laboratory of AIDS Prevention and Treatment & School of Public Health, Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, China.

Background: People living with HIV(PLWH) are a high-risk population for cancer. We conducted a pioneering study on the gut microbiota of PLWH with various types of cancer, revealing key microbiota.

Methods: We collected stool samples from 54 PLWH who have cancer (PLWH-C), including Kaposi's sarcoma (KS, n=7), lymphoma (L, n=22), lung cancer (LC, n=12), and colorectal cancer (CRC, n=13), 55 PLWH who do not have cancer (PLWH-NC), and 49 people living without HIV (Ctrl).

Background Of The Study: known for its bioactive phytochemicals and antimicrobial potential; however, studies evaluating its outcome on the color, mechanical properties and antimicrobial activity of 3D-printed provisional dental resins are lacking. So this study evaluate the effect of seed extract incorporation on the color assessment, flexural strength, compressive strength, microhardness and antimicrobial activity of 3D-printed provisional crown and bridge resin.

Materials And Methods: A total of 240 samples were prepared, with 60 samples allocated to four groups based on 0 %, 1.
