Metagenome Sequences of Sediment from a Recovering Industrialized Appalachian River in West Virginia.

ABSTRACT: We sequenced two metagenomes from upper sediment layers (0 to 5 and 6 to 10?cm) from the Kanawha River, West Virginia. The watershed includes inputs from the forested Appalachian Mountains, surface coal mining, municipal residues, and extensive chemical manufacturing. The dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria, Bacteriodetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Chloroflexi Xenobiotic degradation pathways were present.

Serial Convalescent Plasma Infusions for the Initial COVID-19 Infections in the Appalachian Region of West Virginia.

Project description:PurposeThe rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is responsible for causing COVID-19, has presented the medical community with another example of when convalescent plasma (CP) is still used today. The ability to standardize CP at the onset of a pandemic is unlikely to exist in a reliable and uniformly reproducible way. We hypothesized that CP of unknown strength given in a serial manner will promote health and reduce mortality in those inflicted with COVID-19.MethodsParticipants were given up to 8 CP-units depending on their condition upon entry into the study and their response.Results102 out of 117 participants were given CP. The earlier a participant received CP corelated with survival (p = 0.0004). The number of CP-units given, throughout all the clinical severities, was not significant with outcomes, p = 0.3947. A higher number of CP-units given to the severe/critical participants (without biological immunosuppressants or restrictive lung disease) did correlate with survival p = 0.0116 (2.8 vs. 2 units). Lower platelets on admission corelated with mortality. Platelet levels increase correlated with CP infusions p < 0.0001.ConclusionThis study supports the serial use of CP of unknown strength based on clinical response for those infected with COVID-19. The use of 3-4 units of CP was found to be statistically significant for survival for severe and critical participants without restrictive lung disease and chronic biological immunosuppression. Increased platelet levels after CP infusions supports that CP is promoting overall health regardless of outcomes.

Metagenome-Assembled Genome Sequences Recovered from Epilithic River Biofilm in the Tama River, Japan.

Project description:Draft genome sequences of putatively novel bacteria were assembled from the metagenome of epilithic biofilm samples collected from the Tama River (Tokyo, Japan). The metagenome contains 44,630,724 sequences, 44,792 contigs, and 48% G+C content. Binning resulted in 31 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with ≥50% completeness.

Sediment Extract Series River Rhine

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This proof-of-concept study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in sediment extracts. For this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerably extend be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Microarray analysis were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to 2 sediment extracts from the Upper part of the River Rhine, Germany. The expression profile as then compared to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as, 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, combining mechanism-specific bioassays as well as chemical analysis of the sediments to the gene expression data has contributed to a more comprehensive view on the hazard potential of the sediments.

Metagenome analysis from the sediment of river Ganga and Yamuna: In search of beneficial microbiome.

Project description:Beneficial microbes are all around us and it remains to be seen, whether all diseases and disorders can be prevented or treated with beneficial microbes. In this study, the presence of various beneficial bacteria were identified from the sediments of Indian major Rivers Ganga and Yamuna from nine different sites using a metagenomic approach. The metagenome sequence analysis using the Kaiju Web server revealed the presence of 69 beneficial bacteria. Phylogenetic analysis among these bacterial species revealed that they were highly diverse. Relative abundance analysis of these bacterial species is highly correlated with different pollution levels among the sampling sites. The PCA analysis revealed that Lactobacillus spp. group of beneficial bacteria are more associated with sediment sampling sites, KAN-2 and ND-3; whereas Bacillus spp. are more associated with sites, FAR-2 and ND-2. This is the first report revealing the richness of beneficial bacteria in the Indian rivers, Ganga and Yamuna. The study might be useful in isolating different important beneficial microorganisms from these river sediments, for possible industrial applications.

Sediment Series Upper Danube River (Sediment Extract and Freeze-Dried)

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in freeze-dried whole sediment samples and their corresponding organic extracts in parallel. To this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerable extent be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Additionally, different gene expression was shown to be less influenced by the sampling site than by the method of exposure, which could be attributed to differential bioavailability of contaminants. Microarray analyses were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to sediment extracts or freeze-dried sediment from three sampling sites (Ehingen, Lauchert, Sigmaringen) along the Upper part of the Danube River, Germany. The expression profiles were compared within the sampling sites, between the exposure scheme and to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, mechanism-specific bioassays and chemical analysis of the sediments have been combined and compared to the present gene expression data.
