Ammonia Monooxygenase Activity Connects Nitrification Rate with Dominant Edaphic Properties Under Salinity Stress in Coastal Fluvo-aquic Soil
Nitrification is a key player in biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen, and there is a need to regulate the nitrification for nitrogen loss reduction in agroecosystems. The current study aimed to identify the int...

Effects of Soil Salinity on Nitrification and Ammonia-Oxidizing Microorganisms in Coastal Reclaimed Farmland Soil
Nitrification, which is controlled by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), is the key step in the nitrogen cycle. Coastal reclaimed farmland is in the conversion stage from coastal mudflat to cu...

Oxidative stress, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest are induced in primary fetal alveolar type II epithelial cells exposed to fine particulate matter from cooking oil fumes
Epidemiological studies demonstrate a linkage between morbidity and mortality and particulate matter (PM), particularly fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that can readily penetrate into the lungs and are therefore ...
