... CYP450s are classified under the oxygenase group of enzymes, which are capable of transferring electrons to oxygen and facilitating the oxidation of external substances, including heavy metal stress, toxins, and environmental pollutants (Lin et al., 2022;Zhang et al., 2024). When exposed to 1.25 mg/L Cu, a total of 25 CYP450 genes showed significant differences in transcriptional levels (15 were upregulated and 10 were downregulated; Table S7-2) in T. hirsuta AH28-2 compared with the control group. ...

... After deep fertilization, the distribution of NH 4 + −N and NO 3 − −N in the soil changed, and the contents of NH 4 + −N and NO 3 − −N in shallow soil reduced [9], while the shallow soil was the main area of methane absorption [18]. (2) Plant root exudates can affect the methane absorption process, and methanotrophs show greater methane oxidation capacity in the rhizosphere [35]. After deep fertilization, the nutrients concentration of deep soil increased, which can adjust the vertical distribution of roots, increase the proportion of roots in deep soil [36], improve rhizosphere oxygen utilization, increase soil methane oxidation levels, consume methane, reduce methane emissions, or promote methane absorption [18]. ...

... The antiinflammatory, anti-oxidant, and antibacterial activity of the fabricated sample was studied. The wound healing of almost 99.7% was achieved using rat models [31]. Composite of PVA/CMC/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)/Ormocarpum cochinchinense extract was fabricated by solvent casting techniques. ...

... Alternatively, at the genus level, some fungi such as Phoma and Penicillium were found to have pathogenic characteristics that may be associated with fruit spoilage [45,46]. Sphingomonas, Bacillus, and Streptomyces are the dominant genera in soils, which is similar to other studies [47][48][49]. ...

... Tan et al. (2020) reported that HNADB played a prominent role in nitrogen removal in two pilot-scale TFCWs, achieving impressive NH 4 + -N and TN removal efficiencies ranging from 70.9 % to 91.8 % and 72.6 % to 95.5 %, respectively. Furthermore, in a study by Chen et al. (2023), HNADB underwent five generations of domestication and demonstrated remarkable efficacy in removing 98 % of NH 4 + -N at an original concentration of 400 mg⋅L − 1 . Therefore, the excellent removal of NH 4 + -N could be due to the prevalence of HNADB in TFCW-S. ...

... They also display anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antipruritic effects, significantly enhancing wound healing. Incorporating low concentrations of notoginsenosides into hydrogels has been shown to enhance biocompatibility, optimize wound conditions, strengthen antibacterial activity, and accelerate wound closure [48,49]. ...

Furthermore, Alcaligenes faecalis TF-1 exhibited the ability to remove 52.87 mg/L of NH4 + -N in environments characterized by elevated salinity levels [53]. Furthermore, Alcaligenes faecalis WT14 exhibited the ability to attain a TN removal rate of 99.3% in simulated sewage under optimal conditions [6]. ...

... This has made nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) the most common pollutants in water bodies [2]. These pollutants contribute to eutrophication and severe ecological problems, posing risks to human health and restricting the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry [3]. Therefore, the development of effective, environmentally friendly, and economical methods for removing N and P from aquaculture wastewater remains a significant challenge. ...

... The dominance of Pseudomonas was most likely driven by the presence of multiple copies of benzene-degrading genes and genes encoding GST, as well as various proteins that have been predicted to be associated with a high pH preference. 44 It has been documented that GST effectively promotes the oxidation and detoxification of CAHs by conjugating with glutathione, 16 thereby enhancing the resilience and adaptability of Pseudomonas under severely polluted environments. The ability to utilize benzene and the preference for high pH further promoted the growth of Pseudomonas in this cluster. ...
