Introduction Lipids are essential components of microbial membranes (Op den Kamp, 1979). They play critical roles in microbial functions, including signal transportation, cellular barriers, energy repository and membrane architectures (Cronan, 1978; Cronan and Gelmann, 1975). Membrane lipids are very complex and highly dynamic, there are hundreds of molecular species and they are always changing with physiological and environmental changes (Dowhan, 1997; Nikaido and Vaara, 1985; Woese, 1987). It is not clear why nature created so diverse types of lipids. Recently, lipidomics, a novel discipline has emerged to study membrane lipids based on analytical chemical tools, particularly mass spectrometry (Brügger, 2014; Han and Gross, 2003, 2005; Yang and Han, 2016). Lipidomics can help us to identify new lipid molecules, reveal the mechanisms underlying responsible for physiological or environmental conditions, discover potential biomarkers to understand climate change, organism interaction and evolution (Han et al., 2012; Shevchenko and Simons, 2010; Wenk, 2005). Besides, stable isotope probing of certain lipid types reveals the activity and function of distinct microbial community in the environment (Wegener et al., 2016). Accordingly, with lipidomics, our understanding of the microorganisms in the complex ecosystem will be undoubtedly accelerated. In this introduction, first I briefly introduced the classification of life and the importance of microorganisms in the environments. Then I summarized the tools to study microorganisms and compared them to the mass spectrometry-based lipidomic techniques. In addition, the type and function of archaeal and bacterial membrane lipids were introduced for better understanding lipidomic technics. Finally, I discussed the advantages and limitations of recently used lipidomics derived biomarkers and highlighted the aim of this thesis.

However, the long-term evolution of lakes in a certain megacity and the heterogeneity of the spatial relationship between related influencing factors and lake changes are rarely discussed. The evolution of 58 lakes in Wuhan, China from 1990 to 2019 was analyzed from three aspects of lake area, lake landscape, and lakefront ecology, respectively. The Multi-Scale Geographic Weighted Regression model (MGWR) was then used to analyze the impact of related influencing factors on lake area change. The investigation found that the total area of 58 lakes decreased by 15.3%. A worsening trend was found regarding lake landscape with the five landscape indexes of lakes dropping; in contrast, lakefront ecology saw a gradual recovery with variations in the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) in the lakefront area. The MGWR regression results showed that, on the whole, the increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), RSEI in the lakefront area, precipitation, and humidity Citation: Wen, C.; Zhan, Q.; Zhan, contributed to lake restoration.

  • Seasonal Succession of Bacterial Communities in Three Eutrophic Freshwater Lakes
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Case Report Seasonal Succession of Bacterial Communities in Three Eutrophic Freshwater Lakes Bin Ji, Cheng Liu, Jiechao Liang and Jian Wang * Department of Water and Wastewater Engineering, Wuhan University of Science and Technology, Wuhan 430065, China; [email protected] (B.J.); [email protected] (C.L.); [email protected] (J.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-27-68893616 Abstract: Urban freshwater lakes play an indispensable role in maintaining the urban environment and are suffering great threats of eutrophication. Until now, little has been known about the seasonal bacterial communities of the surface water of adjacent freshwater urban lakes. This study reported the bacterial communities of three adjacent freshwater lakes (i.e., Tangxun Lake, Yezhi Lake and Nan Lake) during the alternation of seasons. Nan Lake had the best water quality among the three lakes as reflected by the bacterial eutrophic index (BEI), bacterial indicator (Luteolibacter) and functional prediction analysis. It was found that Alphaproteobacteria had the lowest abundance in summer and the highest abundance in winter. Bacteroidetes had the lowest abundance in winter, while Planctomycetes had the highest abundance in summer. N/P ratio appeared to have some relationships with eutrophication. Tangxun Lake and Nan Lake with higher average N/P ratios (e.g., N/P = 20) tended to have a higher BEI in summer at a water temperature of 27 ◦C, while Yezhi Lake with a relatively lower average N/P ratio (e.g., N/P = 14) tended to have a higher BEI in spring and autumn at a water temperature of 9–20 ◦C.

Academic Editors: Jun Liu, Gang Liu and This Rutishauser Received: 1 February 2017; Accepted: 4 May 2017; Published: 8 May 2017 Abstract: Ice, snow, and rime are wonders of the cold season in an alpine climate zone and climate landscape. With its pure, spectacular, and magical features, these regions attract numerous tourists. Ice and snow landscapes can provide not only visually-stimulating experiences for people, but also opportunities for outdoor play and movement. In China, ice and snow tourism is a new type of recreation; however, the establishment of snow and ice in relation to the suitability of the surrounding has not been clearly expressed. Based on multi-source data, such as tourism, weather, and traffic data, this paper employs the Delphi-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) evaluation method and a spatial analysis method to study the spatial differences of snow and ice tourism suitability in China. China’s ice and snow tourism is located in the latitude from 35◦N to 53.33◦N and latitude 41.5◦N to 45◦N and longitude 82◦E to 90◦E, with the main focus on latitude and terrain factors.

  • Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.
