A multilayer solar planted floating island (MS-PFI) planted with Eichhornia crassipes are potential alternatives to traditional PFI. The highest removal rates of suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, ammonia nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand was 86%, 75%, 80%, 95% and 84%, respectively. Proteobacteria (average 43.4% of total sequences) and Actinobacteria (19.9%) were the dominant phyla. Numerous genus had obvious differences between influent and effluent water, for instance, 13, 12 and 7 % in effluent water were assigned to the hgcl_clade, Norank_c_Cyanobacteria, and Rhizorhapis , while their relative abundances were decreased to 5, 3 and 0 %. In contrast, a distinct increase among Flavobacterium (10%), Limnohabitans (7%), Alpinimonas (4%), norank_p_Saccharibacteria (4%), Erwinia (3%) after MS-PFI treatment. MS-PFI brings various bacteria involved in contaminant degradation and nutrient removal in biological wastewater treatment systems. An amount of ¥ 1,843 was totally inputted to construct floating bed, which was rarely needed operation and maintenance costs. Importance: In-situ micro-polluted water ecological remediation, microorganisms and plants are effective to improve environmental quality and provide essential ecosystem services. Recently, we invent a new multilayer solar with an excellent pollutant removal efficiency. Microbes can decompose or mineralize organic matter effectively, also provide food for aquatic animals and increase nutrients or substances for plants, it is an important part of biogeochemical cycles and energy flows in aquatic ecological systems. However, few study explain the bacteria diversity and its responses between influent and effluent water in a planted floating island. The significance of our study is in identifying-in greater detail-the responses of bacteria in the new MS-PFI. This will greatly enhance our knowledge of bacteria communities, and can be widely used in micro-polluted water remediation.

Fusarium wilt is a devastating soilborne disease that significantly reduces watermelon production worldwide. This disease is caused by Fusarium oxysporum subsp. niveum (E.F.Sm.) W.C. Snyder & H.N.Hansen. Earthworms can influence fungal populations either by consuming or dispersing fungal propagules, making them a promising candidate for the biological control of Fusarium wilt. However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of adding the local earthworm species Metaphire guillelmi (Michaelsen, 1895) on Fusarium wilt in watermelon under field conditions, laboratory pot experiments, and laboratory pot experiments with sterilized soil. The results demonstrated that, compared to the control, the earthworm addition reduced the population of F. oxysporum by approximately 105 copies/mg and suppressed the incidence of Fusarium wilt by 84.4%. A correlation analysis revealed that the abundance of F. oxysporum was negatively correlated with soil organic matter (SOM), available nitrogen (AN), and available phosphorus (AP). The relative interaction index values indicated that earthworms could enhance SOM and AN levels in the soil. A two-factor network relationship analysis showed that the earthworm addition could inhibit bacteria and fungi to stimulate growth of F. oxysporum while restraining them. A metabolomics analysis revealed that most differential metabolites associated with F. oxysporum were upregulated in the presence of earthworms. Overall, M. guillelmi can reduce the occurrence of Fusarium wilt by improving soil fertility, the relationship of F. oxysporum and microorganisms, and may influence the metabolic process, which need further exploration. It is a potential pathway for the biocontrol of Fusarium wilt.

This trial investigated the effect of dietary Ginkgo biloba leaf (GBL) on the growth performance and nonspecific immunity of red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii. 180 Crayfishes were randomly divided into three groups. One group was fed with basic diet, whereas the other two groups were fed with diets containing 1% and 3% GBL. After 32 days of feeding, GBL addition tended to increase the body weight gain rate compared with control. In 3% GBL group, the bodyweight gain rate of male crayfish was higher than that of female crayfish. While female crayfish were advantageous in terms of meat yield. Liver-related indexes were influenced by GBL addition and 3% GBL could reduce glutamic pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase as well as total cholesterol in male crayfish, showing its function in liver protection. Moreover, GBL addition effects on liver protection was better in male crayfish than female crayfish.
