Arsenotrophic Achromobacter aegrifaciens strains isolated from arsenic contaminated tubewell water and soil sources shared similar genomic potentials by M. Nazmul Hoque, Ayman Bin Abdul Mannan, Anamica Hossian, Golam Mahbub Faisal, M. Anwar Hossain, Munawar Sultana

“…Moreover, both strains possessed distinct heavy metal resistance genes conferring resistance to Co, Zn, Cu, Cd, Hg, As, and Cr. Three As gene clusters such as As(III) oxidizing aioBA, As(III) reducing arsRCDAB and the MMA(III) oxidizing ars resistance gene (arsHCsO) cluster were predicted in both genomes of A. aegrifaciens. …”

Analysis of the prediction and evolution process of waterfilling in closed coal mine goaf by Yanqing DING, Renhao PANG, Jing QIAN, Lihong DUAN, Taisen CHEN

“…As water level rises, water inflow rate gradually decreases, reaching the minimum value of approximately 134.81 m3/h at −350− −400 m elevation. The groundwater recovery process reveals three phases: initial stage features small deep goaf capacity, high inflow rate and rapid accumulation; mid-stage shows increased goaf capacity, reduced inflow rate, and slowed rising speed with more roadways; final stage exhibits reduced shallow goaf capacity and accelerated water level rise. …”

Intracellular virion traffic to the endosome driven by cell type specific sialic acid receptors determines parvovirus tropism by Tania Calvo-López, Tania Calvo-López, Esther Grueso, Esther Grueso, Cristina Sánchez-Martínez, Cristina Sánchez-Martínez, José M. Almendral, José M. Almendral

“…This study illustrates (i) structural constraints to retarget parvoviruses with evolutionary adopted narrow grooves allocating small SIA receptors, (ii) the possibility to enhance parvovirus oncolysis by relaxing the glycan network on the cancer cell surface, and (iii) the major role played by the attachment to cell type-specific SIAs in the intracellular virus traffic to the endosome, which may determine parvovirus tropism and host range.…”

Structural background of intraspecific color polymorphism and the driver of geographic patterns in a shining leaf chafer by Yuanyuan Lu, Alexander Kovalev, Lulu Li, Chuchu Li, Xinyi Zhu, Min He, Xingke Yang, Ming Bai, Stanislav N. Gorb

“…Results Here we studied the distribution pattern of color phenotypes in the beetle Popillia mutans (Insecta: Coleoptera: Rutelinae). Three phenotypes (blue, green and red) are distributed in a not mutually exclusive manner, with the blue phenotype tending to be more prevalent in the cooler northern area, seemingly following Bogert's rule, and the others mainly in the warmer southern area. …”

The Aquatic Metatron: A large‐scale experimental facility to study the combined effects of habitat fragmentation and climate change on aquatic meta‐ecosystems by Murielle Richard, Alexandre Garreau, Elvire Bestion, Julien Cucherousset, Jose M. Montoya, Simon Blanchet

“…Here, we present the Aquatic Metatron, a unique mesocosm facility providing a large‐scale experimental resource to study the combined effects of global change components, in particular climate change and habitat fragmentation, on the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of aquatic ecosystems. The Aquatic Metatron consists of 144 mesocosms of 2 m3 each that can be connected to each other with aquatic corridors, and—for a subset of them—with aerial corridors. …”
