Unraveling the assembly mechanism is a core research topic of microbial ecology. Abundant and rare communities are crucial for diversity, function host health in given ecosystem, but few studies focused on their strategies. Here, we explored diversity abundant water, shrimp intestine sediment habitats cultural ponds. Our results found that numbers operational taxonomic units (OTUs) (6,003, 4,56...

BACKGROUND As a traditional Chinese medicine, Cordyceps sinensis (CS) possesses a variety of immunoregulatory properties. This study aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of CS in a mice model of multiple sclerosis (MS)-experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). METHODS Female C57BL/6 mice were immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein35-55to induce EAE, followed by an ins...

Effect of heating on the development of volatile aroma constituents of palm olein and selected oils was studied. The aroma constituents of heated oils were collected using a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) headspace technique with an adsorbent of a divinylbenzene/carboxen (50/ 30μm) on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fibre. The extracted volatiles were desorbed from the fibre in the injection po...

Catalytic enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidations of racemic and meso cyclic ketones were achieved in the presence of chiral N,N'-dioxide-Sc(III) complex catalysts. The BV oxidations of prochiral cyclohexanones and cyclobutanones afforded series of optically active ε- and γ-lactones, respectively, in up to 99% yield and 95% ee. Meanwhile, the kinetic resolution of racemic 2-arylcyclohe...

The synthesis, structure, and photoluminescence properties are described for the three-coordinate mononuclear and dinuclear complexes [H(2)B(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(2)]M(2,4,6-collidine), M(1)(), and [[3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz]M(2,4,6-collidine)](2), M(2)(), respectively (M = Cu; Ag). The solids exhibit bright blue phosphorescence, at room temperature for the copper compounds and at 77 K for all compounds. A...
