BIOGEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF AUTOTROPHIC BACTERIA WAS MORE AFFECTED BY PRECIPITATION THAN BY SOIL PROPERTIES IN AN ARID AREA

Biogeographic distribution of autotrophic bacteria was more affected by precipitation than by soil properties in an arid area

IntroductionAutotrophic bacteria play an important role in carbon dioxide fixation and are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems.However, the biogeographic patterns of autotrophic bacteria and the driving factors still remain poorly understood.MethodsHerein, we conducted a 391-km north to south transect (mean annual precipitation <600 mm) survey

Inclusion of PF68 Surfactant Improves Stability of rAAV Titer when Passed through a Surgical Device Used in Retinal Gene Therapy

Recent advances in recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy for choroideremia show gene replacement to be a promising approach.It is, however, well known that contact of vector solution with plastic materials in the surgical device may result in non-specific adsorption with resulting loss of physical Helicopter Parts titer and/or leve
