Experimental evidence for long‐term coexistence of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria in pelagic surface seawater - Yi Li; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Xi‐Ying Zhang; Yan‐Ru Dang; Lin‐Lin Sun; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Hui‐Hui Fu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Min Wang; Andrew McMinn; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yin Chen; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Most marine copiotrophic bacteria can produce extracellular enzymes to degrade biopolymers into bio‐available smaller solutes, while oligotrophic bacteria usually cannot. Bacterial extracellular enzymes and enzymatic products can be a common resource that could be utilized by both copiotrophs and oligotrophs; when present, oligotrophs may outcompete the enzyme‐producing copiotrophs. However, copiotrophs and oligotrophs consistently coexist in the ocean. How they maintain coexistence has still not been experimentally studied. In this study, the interaction and coexistence of a copiotroph and an oligotroph, isolated from the same surface seawater sample and utilizing the same proteinaceous substrate, were experimentally investigated. The copiotroph could secrete extracellular proteases to degrade and then utilize the proteinaceous substrate. The oligotroph was unable to utilize the proteinaceous substrate by itself, but could grow by using the hydrolysate amino acids. The copiotroph outcompeted the oligotroph by adsorbing the amino acids quickly and having a higher growth rate in the rich medium. The oligotroph survived by adapting to low concentration of nutrients. The copiotroph and oligotroph were able to maintain long‐term (up to 142 days) coexistence in the laboratory. This study indicates that differences in the utilization of different concentrations of nutrients can drive the coexistence of marine copiotrophs and oligotrophs.

Buoyancy Regulation Strategy for Underwater Profiler Based on Adaptive Genetic Algorithm - Hui Zhi; Puzhe Zhou; Yanhu Chen; Xiaoyan Zhao; Yuandong Hong; Mingwei Lin; Canjun Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Considering the energy limitations of underwater vehicles, a strategy for energy saving is proposed. In the proposed buoyancy regulation strategy, oil of the buoyancy regulation system is pumped out several times at different depths instead of all at once. A balance between energy and time is achieved by assigning suitable weights, and the optimised depth which can be obtained from the pressure sensor is used as the judgement threshold based on the adaptive genetic algorithm. Through the numerical simulation using sea trial data, the influence of weight selection on energy and time is explored, and the frequency of oil draining for the vehicle to ascend is optimised. Simulation results show that the proposed buoyancy regulation strategy can save energy effectively when the frequency of oil draining is 4 times within depths of 0–500 m. Finally, trials were performed in Qiandao Lake and verify the contradictory relationship between energy and time.

Nitrogen‐induced acidification, not N‐nutrient, dominates suppressive N effects on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi - Shang Pan; Yang Wang; Yunpeng Qiu; Dima Chen; Lin Zhang; Chenglong Ye; Hui Guo; Weixing Zhu; Aiqun Chen; Guohua Xu; Yi Zhang; Yongfei Bai; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form symbiosis with most terrestrial plant roots, obtaining photosynthates in return for mineral nutrients. Ecological theories based on the economics of trading partnership predict that nutrient enrichment would suppress AMF. Experimental results from nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) additions, however, were highly variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show distinct AMF responses to soil N:P stoichiometry manipulations via gradients of long‐term N and P additions in a Mongolian steppe. A complementary experiment with an acid addition gradient was designed to help tease apart the effect of N‐induced acidification from N nutrient. AMF root colonization and extraradical fungal biomass progressively decreased along the P gradient under two distinct host plant species, suggesting a carbon (C)‐P tradeoff. In contrast, low to moderate N inputs increased both AMF parameters, corresponding to the increasing N:P ratio. Yet, high N inputs reduced AMF colonization and biomass, and the magnitudes of N‐led inhibition were similar to those under acid additions that induced comparable changes in soil pH. Structural equation modeling further showed that while soil N:P stoichiometry primarily controlled the effect of P addition on AMF, N‐induced soil acidity overtook the N:P stoichiometry under high N inputs and dominated the effects of reactive N on AMF. In addition, AMF community composition in roots was more dependent on host plants and unresponsive to changes in soil nutrients. We further proposed a comprehensive framework that integrates biological and geochemical effects of reactive N and P inputs on AMF. Together, these results indicate that while the C‐P tradeoff controls P suppression of AMF, N‐induced acidification dominates the N inhibition. Our findings suggest that incorporation of geochemical impacts of N and P inputs would facilitate modeling efforts to project mycorrhizal impact on plant interactions and soil C balance under future nutrient enrichment scenarios.

Identification of Cyt2Ba from a New Strain of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Toxicity in Bradysia difformis - Fan-Fan Wang; Shao-Xuan Qu; Jin-Sheng Lin; Hui-Ping Li; Li-Juan Hou; Ning Jiang; Xin Luo; Lin Ma (Current Microbiology, 2020)
Bradysia difformis is one of the most damaging pests in mushroom production in China. In this study, eight Bacillus thuringiensis strains were analyzed for insecticidal activity in B. difformis . The strain JW-1 showed the highest insecticidal activity against B. difformis larvae, but did not inhibit the mycelial growth of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. geesteranus . The 16S rRNA gene (1397 bp) and cyt2 gene (792 bp) were obtained from strain JW-1. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene and Cyt2 toxin showed that strain JW-1 was a member of B. thuringiensis and Cyt2 toxin belonged to Cyt2Ba toxin cluster. The Cyt2Ba toxin from strain JW-1 was overexpressed in E. coli as a fusion protein and the fusion protein (70 kDa) was purified by Ni-IDA affinity chromatography. The purified Cyt2Ba fusion protein was toxic to B. difformis larvae (LC 50 was 2.25 ng/mL). The identification of Cyt2Ba from strain JW-1 and confirmation of the insecticidal activity of Cyt2Ba in B. difformis provided a new means of biological control of the important pest in mushroom production.

Winner takes all: reconstructing the decapitation of a warrior in Bronze Age China from osteological evidence - Yawei Zhou; Shuang Lin; Rangping Qin; Hui-Yuan Yeh; Qun Zhang (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2020)
Decapitation is an ancient practice in Asia with inadequate research. The present study reports on the osteological examination of a headless skeleton excavated from a high-status tomb in Chu State style dating back to the late Warring States Period (ca. 3th century BC) in Lu’an, Anhui, China. The individual is identified as a victim of decapitation with five peri-mortem sharp force cut marks on the posterior parts of the cervical vertebrae, and another one on the right second metacarpal. Microscopic observation of the kerfs, the historical records and archaeological evidence support the speculation that the individual could be a warrior of Chu State, who is decapitated after being wounded during the war against the Qin State. The hacking implement and the sequences of the cut marks are further discussed to reconstruct the process of execution. This multidisciplinary reconstruction is the first scientific osteological analysis of the decapitation on the human remains from the Chinese Bronze Age. Moreover, it will enrich our knowledge of the decapitation phenomenon in terms of war and execution in ancient China.

Early evidence of trepanation along the Yellow River Basin in Neolithic China - Yawei Zhou; Shuang Lin; Wanfa Gu; Letian He; Qun Zhang; Hui-Yuan Yeh (Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2020)
Trepanation is a long-lasting ancient practice found around the world with diverse motivations. However, the distribution and motivation of intentional trepanation in China remain unclear. This study presents one of the earliest trepanations on a male adult individual who is unearthed from the Shuanghuaishu site in Gongyi, Henan, dating back to the late Yangshao cultural period (3500–2900 BC). The macroscopic and microscopic observation, alongside with micro-CT scan, are conducted to further evaluate the conditions on the edges of the perforation and intracranial situation. The oval perforation is located on the occipital bone, and neither fracture nor apparent healing signs are observed on the margins. Archeological evidences and simulated experiment indicate that the trepanation could be conducted by drilling the tables of the skull with a V-bladed stone tool. In view of the location of the perforation and the limited details on the edges, the motivation behind the trepanation could be due to the medical treatment of trauma on the occipital bone or a postmortem ritual. The analysis of the early trepanation along the Yellow River Basin provides further evidence on the ancient human behavior and enriches our understanding of the origin and distribution of trepanation in Neolithic China.

The effect of fumigation with microencapsulated allyl isothiocyanate in a gas-barrier bag against Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) - Yoshiaki Hashimoto; Hironori Sakamoto; Hiromi Asai; Masamitsu Yasoshima; Hui-Min Lin; Koichi Goka (Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2020)
Red imported fire ants, Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), which are among the most harmful alien ants, were first detected in Japan in a shipping container from China in May 2017, and continue to enter Japan via this trade pathway. Fumigation is one of the most effective ways to eliminate S. invicta from goods transported in containers. The present study is the first to evaluate the effect of fumigation with allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) against S. invicta . Fumigation using microencapsulated AITC pellets in a gas-barrier bag for 24 h completely killed S. invicta . Furthermore, our fumigation system was able to maintain a high concentration of AITC vapor for at least 13 days. AITC, a naturally occurring compound in wasabi [ Eutrema japonicum (Miq.) Koidz], has been demonstrated to be safe for humans and the environment, but its use as a fumigant is limited by its strong volatility and pungency. However, its encapsulation solves this problem by allowing controlled vapor release. Thus, the use of microencapsulated AITC in combination with a gas-barrier bag has considerable potential to provide an effective and easy-to-use protocol for fumigation of S. invicta .

Population Genetic Analysis for Stock Enhancement of Silver Sea Bream (Rhabdosargus sarba) in Taiwan - Te-Hua Hsu; Chang-Wen Huang; Hung-Tai Lee; Yi-Hsuan Kuo; Kwang-Ming Liu; Cheng-Hui Lin; Hong-Yi Gong (Fishes, 2020)
Stock enhancement is a method for replenishing depleted wild finfish populations by supplementing them with hatchery-raised fish. In Taiwan, silver sea bream (Rhabdosargus sarba) is a predominant commercial species involved in stock enhancement projects. Although management agencies conduct stock enhancement projects, there are a lot of private releases without records. Stock enhancement is performed by the private aquaculture sector without accurate genetic records, potentially leading to unintended consequences for wild populations. We analyzed the genetics of 459 wild and 701 hatchery-reared specimens from nine batches produced by various hatcheries. Wild and hatchery-reared samples could be considered two separate clades by using a set of stable and informative microsatellite markers including type I (from gene introns and 3′UTR) and type II markers (randomly picked up from genome). Type I microsatellite markers could more sensitively reflect the loss of genetic diversity more than type II markers in the domestication process. All specimens were considered native by using mtDNA COI and microsatellites. The genetic composition of the wild population is relatively simple, and the estimated low contribution rate of the hatchery stock (1.3–10.9%; 6–50/459) indicated a weak but significant genetic effect of stock enhancement. Therefore, establishing standards for the stock enhancement of silver sea bream for more effective supplementation of wild populations is imperative.

Simulation of summer precipitation diurnal cycles over the Tibetan Plateau at the gray-zone grid spacing for cumulus parameterization - Tinghai Ou; Deliang Chen; Xingchao Chen; Changgui Lin; Kun Yang; Hui-Wen Lai; Fuqing Zhang (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is often referred to as the “water tower of Asia” or the “Third Pole”. It remains a challenge for most global and regional models to realistically simulate precipitation, especially its diurnal cycles, over the TP. This study focuses on evaluating the summer (June–August) precipitation diurnal cycles over the TP simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The horizontal resolution used in this study is 9 km, which is within the gray-zone grid spacing that a cumulus parameterization scheme (CU) may or may not be used. We conducted WRF simulations with different cumulus schemes (CU experiments) and a simulation without CU (No_CU experiment). The selected CUs include the Grell-3D Ensemble (Grell), New Simplified Arakawa-Schubert (NSAS), and Multiscale Kain-Fritsch (MSKF). These simulations are compared with both the in-situ observations and satellite products. Results show that the scale-aware MSKF outperforms the other CUs in simulating precipitation in terms of both the mean intensity and diurnal cycles. In addition, the peak time of precipitation intensity is better captured by all the CU experiments than by the No_CU experiment. However, all the CU experiments tend to overestimate the mean precipitation and simulate an earlier peak of precipitation frequency when compared to observations. The frequencies and initiation timings for short-duration (1–3 h) and long-duration (> 6 h) precipitation events are well captured by the No_CU experiment, while these features are poorly reproduced by the CU experiments. The results demonstrate simulation without a CU outperforms those with a CU at the gray-zone spatial resolution in regard to the precipitation diurnal cycles.

Responses of soil moisture to regional climate change over the Three Rivers Source Region on the Tibetan Plateau - Mingshan Deng; Xianhong Meng; Zhaoguo Li; Yaqiong Lyv; Huajin Lei; Lin Zhao; Shengnan Zhao; Jun Ge; Hui Jing (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
In this study, soil moisture data from two reanalysis datasets (ERA‐Interim, ERA5), a satellite soil moisture product from the European Space Agency (ESA) and three assimilation datasets from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), that is, GLADS‐NOAH025, GLADS‐NOAH10, and GLDAS‐CLM were compared with the observed soil moisture data in Maqu and Maduo stations over the Three Rivers Source Region (TRSR) on the Tibetan Plateau in China. Comparative statistical parameters between the soil moisture observations and the products, including the root mean square error, correlation coefficient ( R ), and standard deviation ratio were calculated to evaluate the products in different seasons. It was found that most products overestimated the soil moisture values, among which GLADS‐NOAH025 had relatively good consistency with the observations in the surface soil layer (0–10 cm), whereas GLDAS‐CLM agreed well with the observations in the 10–40 cm layer. Both ERA5 and ERA‐interim soil moisture overestimated soil moisture at all levels. The responses of soil moisture to regional climate change over the TRSR were also investigated by using the GLDAS‐NOAH025 soil moisture product, the ESA soil moisture product, and the observations during the nonfreezing period. The results show that the trends of soil moisture are consistent with the precipitation changes in the main central part of the TRSR. A significant positive correlation was found between soil moisture and precipitation in most regions of the TRSR, which indicates that soil moisture increases with the increase of precipitation, except in the northwest TRSR, where the variation of soil moisture was possibly influenced by both the precipitation changes and the increase of evapotranspiration.

Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) has become an increasingly serious public health problem and has complicated tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Levofloxacin (LOF) is an ideal anti-tuberculosis drug in clinical applications. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis in TB treatment have not been revealed. Our study performed transcriptome and methylome sequencing to investigate the potential biological characteristics of LOF resistance in M. tuberculosis H37Rv. In the transcriptome analysis, 953 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified; 514 and 439 DEGs were significantly downregulated and upregulated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 97 pathways were enriched in this study. In the methylome analysis, 239 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were identified; 150 and 89 DMGs were hypomethylated and hypermethylated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 74 pathways were enriched in this study. The overlap study suggested that 25 genes were obtained. It was notable that nine genes expressed downregulated mRNA and upregulated methylated levels, including pgi , fadE4 , php , cyp132 , pckA , rpmB1 , pfkB , acg , and ctpF , especially cyp132 , pckA , and pfkB , which were vital in LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The overlapping genes between transcriptome and methylome could be essential for studying the molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. These results may provide informative evidence for TB treatment with LOF.

Severe haze pollution that occurred in January 2014 in Wuhan was investigated. The factors leading to Wuhan’s PM 2.5 pollution and the characteristics and formation mechanism were found to be significantly different from other megacities, like Beijing. Both the growth rates and decline rates of PM 2.5 concentrations in Wuhan were lower than those in Beijing, but the monthly PM 2.5 value was approximately twice that in Beijing. Furthermore, the sharp increases of PM 2.5 concentrations were often accompanied by strong winds. A high-precision modeling system with an online source-tagged method was established to explore the formation mechanism of five haze episodes. The long-range transport of the polluted air masses from the North China Plain (NCP) was the main factor leading to the sharp increases of PM 2.5 concentrations in Wuhan, which contributed 53.4% of the monthly PM 2.5 concentrations and 38.5% of polluted days. Furthermore, the change in meteorological conditions such as weakened winds and stable weather conditions led to the accumulation of air pollutants in Wuhan after the long-range transport. The contribution from Wuhan and surrounding cities to the PM 2.5 concentrations was determined to be 67.4% during this period. Under the complex regional transport of pollutants from surrounding cities, the NCP, East China, and South China, the five episodes resulted in 30 haze days in Wuhan. The findings reveal important roles played by transregional and intercity transport in haze formation in Wuhan.

Dynamic expressions of hypothalamic genes regulate seasonal breeding in a natural rodent population - Dawei Wang; Ning Li; Lin Tian; Fei Ren; Zhengguang Li; Yan Chen; Lan Liu; Xiangfa Hu; Xuechang Zhang; Ying Song; Roelof A. Hut; Xiao‐Hui Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
Seasonal breeding is a universal reproductive strategy in many animals. Hypothalamic genes, especially type 2 and 3 iodothyronine deiodinases ( Dio2 / 3 ), RFamide‐related peptide 3 ( Rfrp‐3 ), kisspeptin ( Kiss‐1 ) and gonadotropin‐releasing hormone ( GnRH ), are involved in a photoperiodic pathway that encodes seasonal signals from day length in many vertebrate species. However, the seasonal expression patterns of these genes in wild mammals are less studied. Here, we present a four‐year field investigation to reveal seasonal rhythm and age‐dependent reproductive activity in male Brandt's voles ( Lasiopodomys brandtii ) and to detect relationships among seasonal expression profiles of hypothalamic genes, testicular activity, age and annual day length. From breeding season (April) to nonbreeding season (October), adult male voles displayed a synchronous peak in gonadal activity with annual day length around summer solstice, which was jointly caused by age structure shifts and age‐dependent gonadal development patterns. Overwintered males maintained reproductive activity until late in the breeding season, whereas most newborn males terminated gonadal development completely, except for a minority of males born early in spring. Consistently, the synchronous and opposite expression profiles of Dio2/3 suggest their central function to decode photoperiodic signals and to predict the onset of the nonbreeding season. Moreover, changes in Dio2/3 signals may guide the actions of Kiss‐1 and Rfrp‐3 to regulate the age‐dependent divergence of reproductive strategy in wild Brandt's vole. Our results provide evidence on how hypothalamic photoperiod genes regulate seasonal breeding in a natural rodent population.

Tidal variability in the Hong Kong region - Adam T. Devlin; Jiayi Pan; Hui Lin (Ocean Science, 2019)
Mean sea level (MSL) is rising worldwide, and correlated changes in ocean tides are also occurring. This combination may influence future extreme sea levels, possibly increasing coastal inundation and nuisance flooding events in sensitive regions. Analyses of a set of tide gauges in Hong Kong reveal complex tidal behavior. Most prominent in the results are strong correlations of MSL variability to tidal variability over the 31-year period of 1986–2016; these tidal anomaly correlations (TACs) express the sensitivity of tidal amplitudes and phases (M2, S2, K1, O1) to MSL fluctuations and are widely observed across the Hong Kong region. At a few important harbor locations, time series of approximations of the parameter δ-HAT, computed from combinations of the major tidal constituents, are found to be highly sensitive to MSL variability, which may further increase local flood levels under future MSL rise. Other open-water locations in Hong Kong only show TACs for some individual tidal constituents but not for combined tidal amplitudes, suggesting that the dynamics in enclosed harbor areas may be partially frequency dependent and related to resonance or frictional changes. We also observe positive correlations of the fluctuations of diurnal (D1) tides to semidiurnal (D2) tides at most locations in the region, which may lead to further amplified tidal ranges under MSL. It is demonstrated here that tidal changes in the Hong Kong coastal waters may be important in combination with MSL rise in impacting future total water levels.

Biochar application as a tool to decrease soil nitrogen losses ( NH 3 volatilization, N 2 O emissions, and N leaching) from croplands: Options and mitigation strength in a global perspective - Qi Liu; Benjuan Liu; Yanhui Zhang; Tianlong Hu; Zhibin Lin; Gang Liu; Xiaojie Wang; Jing Ma; Hui Wang; Haiyang Jin; Per Ambus; James E.

Biochar application to croplands has been proposed as a potential strategy to decrease losses of soil‐reactive nitrogen (N) to the air and water. However, the extent and spatial variability of biochar function at the global level are still unclear. Using Random Forest regression modelling of machine learning based on data compiled from the literature, we mapped the impacts of different biochar types (derived from wood, straw, or manure), and their interactions with biochar application rates, soil properties, and environmental factors, on soil N losses ( NH 3 volatilization, N 2 O emissions, and N leaching) and crop productivity. The results show that a suitable distribution of biochar across global croplands (i.e., one application of −1 wood biochar for poorly buffered soils, such as those characterized by soil pH 30%; and one application of −1 wood biochar, −1 straw biochar, or −1 manure biochar for other soils) could achieve an increase in global crop yields by 222–766 Tg yr −1 (4%–16% increase), a mitigation of cropland N 2 O emissions by 0.19–0.88 Tg N yr −1 (6%–30% decrease), a decline of cropland N leaching by 3.9–9.2 Tg N yr −1 (12%–29% decrease), but also a fluctuation of cropland NH 3 volatilization by −1.9–4.7 Tg N yr −1 (−12%–31% change). The decreased sum of the three major reactive N losses amount to 1.7–9.4 Tg N yr −1 , which corresponds to 3%–14% of the global cropland total N loss. Biochar generally has a larger potential for decreasing soil N losses but with less benefits to crop production in temperate regions than in tropical regions.
