Bedrock modulates the elevational patterns of soil microbial communities by Xianjin He, Ruiqi Wang, Daniel S. Goll, Laurent Augusto, Naoise Nunan, M.D. Farnon Ellwood, Quanzhou Gao, Junlong Huang, Shenhua Qian, Yonghua Zhang, Zufei Shu, Buhang Li, Chengjin Chu

“…Bedrock and elevation strongly influenced microbial beta-diversity, with beta-diversity on granite driven primarily by soil total phosphorus and moisture, and on slate by soil organic carbon and pH. In contrast, alpha-diversity was impacted less by bedrock and elevation, but its relationship with environmental factors varied markedly between bedrock types. …”

Effect of ectoparasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis on the histopathology and gill and gut microbiota of goldfish (Carassius auratus) by Xialian Bu, Xialian Bu, Xianqi Peng, Xianqi Peng, Lei Huang, Lei Huang, Yu Zhao, Jinbiao Jiao, Jinbiao Jiao, Jian Zhu, Jing Chen, Jing Chen, Xiaohong Huang, Xiaohong Huang, Aqin Zheng, Aqin Zheng, Huantao Qu, Jiayun Yao, Jiayun Yao

“…Meanwhile, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing was conducted to analyze the difference of gill and gut microbiota between I. multifiliis-infected and uninfected goldfish.ResultsHistopathological examination revealed that I. multifiliis has induced significant damage to the gills of goldfish, characterized by lamellae fusion, cell hyperplasia, cell hyperaemia, inflammatory infiltration, necrosis and desquamation. 16S rRNA gene sequencing result showed that alpha and beta diversity of gill microbiota was significantly reduced in the I. multifiliis-infected group, while no significant changes were observed in gut microbiota. …”
