在污水处理厂的浑浊水流中，一场无声的“基因快递”正在上演。数以万计的微生物通过神秘的基因交换网络，悄悄传递着耐药性“武器”、污染物分解“技能包”，甚至人工合成的生物元件。这种被称为水平基因转移（Horizontal Gene Transfer）的现象 ...

本研究聚焦于牛足腐烂（Bovine Foot Rot, BFR）和牛数字皮炎（Bovine Digital Dermatitis, BDD）的病原学，通过16S rRNA基因测序和qPCR技术分析了不同病变阶段的细菌群落特征，揭示了Fusobacterium spp.和Treponema spp.在两种疾病中的差异性分布，为精准诊断和治疗提供了新的思路。

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

In this study, blood culture and PCR-microarray analysis were used to examine 172 cases of suspected septicemia. Primers and oligonucleotide probes, based on the sequences of bacterial 16SrRNA ...

To achieve this, the researchers designed a small ribozyme-based RNA molecule (also called catalytic RNA) that attached a unique barcode to 16S rRNA upon gene transfer.

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
