Project description:Measure changes in dissolved organic matter composition and resulting microbial decomposition rates in an experimentally warmed peatland.
Project description:To explore the bacterial community profile of the gut of the African palm weevil and to identify the abundance and diversity of lignin degradation-associated bacteria in each gut segment.
Project description:Transcript profiles of H. annosum from different tissues and mycelium grown on different substrates and under different stresses were analyzed. The array probes were designed from gene models taken from the Joint Genome Institute (JGI, department of energy) H. irregulare genome sequence version 1. One aim of this study was to compare gene expression profiles of H. annosum during saprotrophic growth on topsoil from mineral soil, drained and undrained peatland.
Project description:This study identified and compared the bacterial diversity and clinically relavent bacterial strains around a newly developed hospital and university precinct in southern India for a period of twelve months.
Project description:Because antibiotics have been widely used to prevent severe losses due to infectious fishery diseases, the liberal application and overuse of antibiotics has led to the spread and evolution of bacterial resistance, food safety hazards, and environmental issues. The use of some antibiotics, including florfenicol and enrofloxacin, is allowed in aquaculture in China. Accordingly, to better address the concerns and questions associated with the impact of administered enrofloxacin and florfenicol to grass carp, here we investigated the immune response, bacterial diversity, and transcriptome of the intestine of C. idella treated with these oral antibiotics. The aim of this study was to provide an in-depth evaluation of the antibiotic-induced patterns and dynamics of the microbiota grass carp and the potential mechanism involved.
