Steroid hormones modulate development, reproduction and communication in eukaryotes.
The widespread occurrence and persistence of steroid hormones have attracted public …

Background The relationship between biodiversity and soil microbiome stability remains
poorly understood. Here, we investigated the impacts of bacterial phylogenetic diversity on …

The steroid superfamily includes a wide range of compounds that are essential for living
organisms of the animal and plant kingdoms. Structural modifications of steroids highly affect …

Steroids are abundant growth substrates for bacteria in natural, engineered, and host-
associated environments. This study analyzed the distribution of the aerobic 9, 10-seco …

Steroids are perhydro-1, 2-cyclopentanophenanthrene derivatives that are almost
exclusively synthesised by eukaryotic organisms. Since the start of the Anthropocene, the …

The frequent occurrence of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in
domestic wastewater has caused great concern. In this study, the removal of two typical …

Background As a widely used broad-spectrum antibiotic, chloramphenicol is prone to be
released into environments, thus resulting in the disturbance of ecosystem stability as well …

The brominated flame retardant 2, 2′, 4, 4′-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) is
extensively used, stable, and difficult to degrade in the environment. The existence of BDE …

A multi-omics approach was applied to an urban river system (the Brisbane River (BR),
Queensland, Australia) in order to investigate surface water quality and characterize the …

Most mycolic acid-containing actinobacteria and some proteobacteria use steroids as
growth substrates, but the catabolism of the last two steroid rings has yet to be elucidated. In …
