Article Abstract
Schlechtendalia chinensis, a gall-inducing aphid, has two host plants in its life cycle. Its wintering host is a moss (typically Plagiomnium maximoviczii) and its main host is Rhus chinensis (Sumac), on which it forms galls during the summer. This study investigated bacteria associated with S. chinensis living on the two different host plants by sequencing 16S rRNAs. A total of 183 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) from 50 genera were identified from aphids living on moss, whereas 182 OTUs from 49 genera were found from aphids living in Sumac galls. The most abundant bacterial genus among identified OTUs from aphids feeding on both hosts was Buchnera. Despite similar numbers of OTUs, the composition of bacterial taxa showed significant differences between aphids living on moss and those living on R. chinensis. Specifically, there were 12 OTUs from 5 genera (family) unique to aphids living on moss, and 11 OTUs from 4 genera (family) unique to aphids feeding in galls on R. chinensis. Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) also revealed that bacteria from moss-residing aphids clustered differently from aphids collected from galls. Our results provide a foundation for future analyses on the roles of symbiotic bacteria in plant-aphid interactions in general, and how gall-specific symbionts differ in this respect.

The hybrid grouper () is an important aquaculture marine species in China. The current study was designed to test the effects of methanotroph () bacteria meal (MBM) on hybrid grouper growth and intestinal health outcomes. Five iso-nitrogenous and iso-lipidic diets were formulated, comprising a control diet (MBM0) with 400 g/kg fish meal (FM) as the main protein source, and four experimental diets, in which FM was replaced at 5% (MBM2), 10% (MBM4), 20% (MBM8) and 30% (MBM12) with 20, 40, 80 and 120 g/kg of MBM, respectively.

subsp. Rousi has high ecological and medicinal value, and it is an important plant resource unique to the arid regions of Northwest China. Exploring the influence of climate characteristics and soil factors on the composition, diversity, and function of the rhizosphere bacterial community of Chinese seabuckthorn is of great value for developing and popularizing characteristic plant resources in the arid regions of Northwest China.

: BDE-47, a pervasive environmental pollutant detected in >90% of human serum samples, is increasingly linked to metabolic disorders. This study investigates the specific impact of BDE-47 exposure on the gut microbiota in prediabetic mice and evaluates the efficacy of therapeutic interventions in mitigating these effects. : To determine whether BDE-47 exposure induces diabetogenic dysbiosis in prediabetic mice and to assess whether dietary interventions, such as grape exosomes and an antioxidant cocktail, can restore a healthy microbiota composition and mitigate diabetes risk.

Tire wear particles (TWPs) represent a significant, yet understudied, source of anthropogenic pollution in aquatic environments, contributing to microplastic contamination and potentially altering microbial ecosystems. As TWPs are continuously released through abrasion during vehicle use, they accumulate in rivers and sediments, where they can act as surfaces for microbial biofilm formation. In this study, we investigated how TWP characteristics - particle size (small & large), wear condition (unused & used), and vehicle type (car & truck) - affect microbial biofilm composition after four weeks of exposure in the River Rhine, compared to natural sediment.

Shorea robusta (Sal) is an ecologically and economically important hardwood tree species growing in the plains and lower foothills of the Himalayan region. It is a dual-mycorrhizal tree associated with both arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. To understand how ECM communities associated with Sal roots are structured, we studied their diversity, composition, and root colonisation in four tropical forests along an elevation gradient (82 to 950 m a.
