Abstract Background Filling silos generally takes much time in practice, which may negatively affect silage fermentation and feed intake. To clarify the effects of inoculating time, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains filling on microbes stylo ( Stylosanthes guianensis ) its silage, ensiling was quickly performed (quickly filling, QF) with or without LAB Lactobacillus plantarum SXC48, Lb. CCZZ1 ...

The rainfall amount and the frequency of extreme events have been predicted to increase in Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau during growing season. These changes will likely affect ecosystem processes, including those that control nitrogen (N) cycling storage; however, direction remains unclear. In this study, we experimentally altered precipitation season (May through October) at an alpine wetland Plate...

De novo protein design provides an attractive approach for the construction of models to probe the features required for function of complex metalloproteins. The metal-binding sites of many metalloproteins lie between multiple elements of secondary structure, inviting a retrostructural approach to constructing minimal models of their active sites. The backbone geometries comprising the metal-bi...

Dengue is the most prevalent mosquito-borne human illness worldwide. The ability to predict disease severity during the earliest days of the illness is a long-sought, but unachieved goal.We examined human genome-wide transcript abundance patterns in daily peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples from 41 children hospitalized with dengue virus (DENV) infection in Nicaragua, as well as 8 ...

It is of great significance to understand the phase regime natural gas migration under high temperature and pressure in DF1-1 structure Yinggehai Basin, South China Sea, predict accumulation evaluate resource reserves. However, existing methane solubility models are not suitable for higher range required current geological conditions. Through a self-designed experimental equipment with precisio...
