Summary: The experiment demonstrated that nitrogen deposition has a significant impact on soil bacterial communities, leading to a decrease in bacterial diversity. The enrichment of ammonium nitrogen is identified as a key factor influencing the shift in taxa proportions within the urban green space soil bacterial community.

Summary: The rupture of the Corrego do Feijao dam in Brazil caused serious damage to the Paraopeba River and affected its water quality for human consumption. This study aimed to investigate the possible changes in microbial diversity and antibiotic resistance in the river. Analysis of water samples collected from multiple locations revealed shifts in microbial diversity and the presence of metal-indicating bacteria. Bacterial isolates also showed indicators of fecal contamination and increased antibiotic resistance after the disaster. The toxic mud from the dam rupture may have contributed to the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the Paraopeba River.

Summary: The blowfly species Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina play roles as agricultural pests, in forensics, and in medicine. While L. sericata larvae are used in maggot debridement therapy, L. cuprina larvae are major initiators of sheep myiasis in certain regions. Bacterial DNA extraction and sequencing showed that digestive tracts and female salivary glands carried the most bacteria in both species, with genera Pseudomonas and Corynebacterium being highly represented. Further research could focus on key organs like spermathecae and salivary glands to understand the role of bacteria in the blowfly life cycle.

Summary: This study examined the effects of Cry1B protein on the growth and development of non-target natural enemies. The results showed that Cry1B protein had no significant impact on the health indicators of P. astrigera, but it did reduce the number of symbiotic bacteria species and species diversity. The effects of Cry1B protein on symbiotic bacteria varied by growth and development stage and sex.

Summary: Accurate detection of bacterial communities in ballast water and sediments is crucial for risk management. This study utilized full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the bacterial communities, particularly focusing on identifying pathogens. The findings highlighted the significance of full-length sequencing in providing more accurate species diversity information. It was observed that there is a significant difference in bacterial communities between ballast water and sediments, despite both being dominated by the Proteobacteria phylum. Full-length sequencing identified 30 human and fish pathogens, whereas only five pathogens were detected through V3-V4 sequencing. Notably, emerging pathogens such as Citrobacter freundii and Nocardia nova, which are harmful to aquaculture and human health, were detected in the samples. In addition, several opportunistic pathogens were also identified. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the bacterial communities in ballast water and sediments, emphasizing the necessity for rigorous management.

Summary: A major challenge in detecting waterborne pathogens is the low concentration of target bacteria in water. In this study, the coagulation and foam concentration method was used to obtain DNA from water samples, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing was conducted to analyze microbial community shifts and identify potentially pathogenic bacteria.

Summary: This study used high-throughput sequencing technology to investigate the gut microbiota of different horse breeds and found variations in microbial composition and function. Thoroughbred horses had a more diverse microbiota, while Hybrid horses showed intermediate diversity. The metabolic pathways also differed significantly between breeds.

Summary: The gut microenvironment of houseflies plays a crucial role in their development and immune response. This study isolates and analyzes different bacterial strains from housefly larvae, and finds that the oral administration of various bacteria has differential effects on larval development and immunity. Beneficial bacteria can be used as probiotic additives for larvae feeding, while harmful bacteria could be targeted for pest control. Additionally, the study provides insights into the immune response of houseflies to external microorganism stimulation.

Summary: Soil cadmium (Cd) pollution poses a significant threat to flora and fauna due to its non-degradable and transferable nature. This study investigated the impact of endogenous Cd-polluted mulberry leaves on the gut microbiota of silkworms (Bombyx mori). The results revealed that Cd exposure caused significant changes in the gut bacterial composition of the silkworms, but had negligible effects on the phyllosphere bacteria of mulberry leaves. The findings suggest that the perturbations in the gut microbiota of B. mori are driven by Cd content rather than phyllosphere bacteria.

Summary: Minas Gerais is a Brazilian state known for being the largest cheese producer in Brazil, with Entre Serras region experiencing a resurgence in artisanal cheese production. The predominant bacterial species in Entre Serras MAC was found to be Lactococcus lactis, with some farms showing high levels of contamination, possibly due to poor hygiene practices.

Summary: Obesity is causing many concomitant diseases, and new strategies for treatment and prevention are being developed using probiotics to modulate the gut microbiota. A study found an increase in Actinobacteriota and a decrease in Bacteroidota in obese patients taking lactic acid bacteria. Beneficial groups like Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus increased, while harmful groups like Faecalibacterium and Clostridium decreased. Modulating the gut microbiota with lactic acid bacteria may be a way to treat obesity.

Summary: The Amazon rainforest plays a significant role in primary biological aerosol emissions globally, with aerosols modulating ecosystem dynamics and influencing climate. Seasonal changes in temperature, humidity, and precipitation are primary drivers of compositional changes in the Amazon aerosol microbiome. The diverse aerosol microbiota of the Amazon Rainforest is primarily impacted by seasonal changes in temperature and humidity.

Summary: Earthworms play an important role in soil ecosystem functioning and are used as indicators of ecosystem health. This study investigates the interactions between earthworms and soil microorganisms by comparing soil with and without earthworms in microcosms. The results show that earthworms increase microbial activity, decrease species richness, and shape soil prokaryotes community structure. Certain bacterial phyla were enriched, while the relative abundance of the archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota decreased in the presence of earthworms. The study highlights the influence of earthworms on soil microbial communities and their activity, suggesting the need to incorporate earthworm-prokaryote interactions in future soil microbiome studies.
