Ruminants are a critical human food source and have been implicated as a potentially
important source of global methane emissions. Because of their unique digestive …

Bacteria are an important component of the aquatic ecosystem playing a key role in the
transformation and mineralisation of allochthonous organic matter, nutrients and pollutants …

Geographic patterns of bacteria and microeukaryotes have attracted increasing attention.
However, mechanisms underlying geographic patterns in the community composition of …

Human activities have largely modified nitrogen (N) sources supply, cycling and export from
land to ocean. Nitrification and denitrification are vital processes alleviating N pollution in …

Exploring functional gene composition is essential for understanding the biogeochemical
functions of lakes. However, little is known about the diversity and composition of …

The risk associated with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in size-fractionated bacterial
community during drinking water chlorination remains unclear, and is of paramount …

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) as emerging contaminants, often co-occur with mobile
genetic elements (MGEs) and are prevalent in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). In …

Temporal variations and co-occurrence patterns of the prokaryotic community in saline lakes
remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the temporal variations of the prokaryotic …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau, also termed 'the Third Pole'harbors the largest number of high-
altitude lakes in the world. Due to the presence of extreme conditions such as low …

Microorganisms in lakeshore zones are essential for pollution interception and biodiversity
maintenance. However, the biogeographic patterns of bacterioplankton communities in …
