LOCAL FACTORS INFLUENCE THE WILD BEE FUNCTIONAL COMMUNITY AT THE URBAN-FOREST INTERFACE


Bacteriophages specific to Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli exist in goat feces and associated environments on an organic produce farm in Northern California, USA.

Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STECs) contamination of produce, as a result of contact with ruminant fecal material, has been associated with serious foodborne illness.Bacteriophages (phages) that infect STECs have primarily been reported to be of cattle origin.However, they likely exist in other environments or in animals that share habit

The co-occurrence patterns and assembly mechanisms of microeukaryotic communities in geothermal ecosystems of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Geothermal spring ecosystems, as extreme habitats, exert significant environmental pressure on their microeukaryotic communities.However, existing studies on the stability of microeukaryotic communities in geothermal ecosystems across different habitats and temperature gradients are still limited.In this study, we used high-throughput 18S rDNA sequ
