Biodegradability of polyethylene mulching film by two Pseudomonas bacteria and their potential degradation mechanism

Lijun Hou et al.

Summary: Research has identified two Pseudomonas bacteria capable of degrading PE, with genome sequencing providing insights into their degradation mechanisms and potential pathways. Experimental results show significant reduction in mass and changes in surface properties of PE mulch incubated with the bacteria, indicating effective degradation. The study highlights the theoretical basis for further research on the degradation and metabolism of discarded PE in the environment.

Glyphosate escalates horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmid harboring antibiotic resistance genes

Hongna Zhang et al.

Summary: Glyphosate has been found to accelerate the horizontal transfer of conjugative plasmids carrying antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria by regulating the expression levels of related genes through the over-production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. This study sheds new light on the biological effects of glyphosate on antibiotic resistance genes.

Increased expression of antibiotic-resistance genes in biofilm communities upon exposure to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and other stress conditions

Yi-Hao Luo et al.

Summary: Quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) are commonly used as surfactants and disinfectants, and may lead to proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in bacteria. Stressful operating conditions, such as limited oxygen and nitrogen supply or high concentrations of QAC, can significantly increase ARG expression, particularly for genes conferring antibiotic-target protection. The study highlights the importance of considering the impacts of stressors, including QAC exposure and operating conditions, in mitigating the spread of ARG in microbial communities.

PlasForest: a homology-based random forest classifier for plasmid detection in genomic datasets

Lea Pradier et al.

Summary: The development of PlasForest, a homology-based random forest classifier, significantly improves the detection of bacterial plasmid sequences in partially assembled genomes. It outperforms other existing tools in terms of both sensitivity and precision, with high accuracy in detecting plasmid contigs of various sizes. Further research is needed to enhance plasmid detection in metagenomic datasets using homology-based approaches.

Predicting antibiotic resistance gene abundance in activated sludge using shotgun metagenomics and machine learning

Yuepeng Sun et al.

Summary: This study explores using a machine learning approach, random forests (RF's), to identify the associations between antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and bacterial taxa in activated sludge of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The results show that RF's can successfully predict the abundance of select ARGs, with (opportunistic) pathogens and indicator bacteria having more positive functional relationships. Machine learning approaches like RF's have the potential to identify bacterial hosts of ARGs and reveal functional relationships in WWTPs.
