Summary: This study successfully constructed an efficient and convenient CRISPR/Cas9 system for gene function and biocontrol mechanism research of Trichoderma hamatum. A CRISPR/Cas9 system with dual sgRNA targets and dual screening markers was established based on genomic information. The knockout efficiencies of Thpyr4 and Thpks1 were 100% and 89.1%, respectively. Fragment deletions or GFP gene insertions between dual sgRNA target sites were observed in knockout strains due to different DNA repair mechanisms. Overall, this research has important scientific significance and application value for functional genomics studies of Trichoderma and other filamentous fungi.

Summary: The use of SYTOX staining in flow cytometry allows for more accurate screening of bacterial cells affected by electroporation effects, showing brighter fluorescence intensity than traditional staining methods. However, the proportion of sublethal damage observed with SYTOX was higher compared to traditional plating methods, suggesting that selective staining methods may be more challenging.

Summary: Using transcriptome and proteome techniques, this study identified key genes involved in the formation of Ca2+-mediated competent cells in E. coli. The deletion of yiaW, ygiZ, and osmB genes significantly increased the transformation efficiency for different-sized plasmids. The study suggests that Ca2+-mediated competence formation is a complex process involving gene regulation and lays the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of Ca2+-mediated transformation.

Summary: A gene segment tandem duplication event occurred during homologous recombination in the Agmo gene of mice, which was not detected by routine PCR genotyping but could be resolved by qPCR, targeted locus amplification sequencing, and nanopore sequencing. Despite the duplication, the Agmo knockout mouse model lacks AGMO enzyme activity for studying its physiological role. Nanopore sequencing provides a cost-effective method for detecting underrated off-target effects in gene editing.

Summary: By studying the gut microbiomes of honey bees and bumble bees, it was found that the gut-associated bacteria, Gilliamella and Snodgrassella, have diversified into discrete populations over 80 million years, with limited gene flow. These bacteria have adapted to specific hosts and ecological niches through acquiring genes, leading to barriers to gene flow within different host species and within individual hosts.

Summary: RNA evolves by adding substructural parts to growing molecules, and the statistical behaviors of lengths of double-stranded and single-stranded segments of molecules have been explored. Strong pushes towards an economy of scale and statistically significant negative correlations and strong associations were identified. Results suggest a principle of diminishing returns in RNA accretion history, following the Menzerath-Altmann's law of language.

Summary: This study investigates the metabolic response of Haematococcus pluvialis to blue light and salicylic acid (SA) using transcriptomic and proteomic sequencing analyses. The results show that blue light down-regulates the expression of key genes involved in astaxanthin synthesis and increases the expression of heme oxygenase, while the addition of SA decreases the expression of heme oxygenase.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of ethanol concentrations on astaxanthin production in S. limacinum B4D1 and explored the underlying metabolic mechanisms. The results showed that high concentrations of ethanol promote astaxanthin accumulation and alter fatty acid proportions. The study also revealed that ethanol enhances the transcriptional expression of genes involved in astaxanthin synthesis pathway and inhibits expression of genes in competitive pathways. Additionally, ethanol increases the expression of genes inhibiting the production of reactive oxygen species. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of ethanol as an inducer for promoting astaxanthin accumulation in S. limacinum B4D1.

Summary: Cold stress leads to changes in lipid composition in Mortierella alpina. Transcriptome analysis revealed decreased lipid production and identified 1552 differentially expressed genes in response to cold stress. qRT-PCR analysis confirmed the expression patterns of six differentially expressed genes involved in lipid metabolism. Enrichment analysis based on the GO and KEGG databases showed that fatty acid composition is regulated by genes in multiple metabolic pathways.

Summary: The morphological characteristics of metamorphosis in stamens of Anemone barbulata Turcz. were investigated using morphological and histological analyses. The results showed that stamens undergo a transformation into either white sepaloid organs or more commonly green leaflike structures. The extreme metamorphic stamen exhibited a three-lobed leaflike structure with a long stalk, resembling the morphological characteristics of the plant's normal leaves. The findings provide evidence to support the hypothesis that the flowers of angiosperms were derived from metamorphic leaves in the evolution of floral organs, indicating a progressive development mode.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
