Polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) are essential for phosphorus removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs); however, their global distribution patterns and potential ecological functions across diverse activated sludge systems remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 226 activated sludge metagenomes from 142 WWTPs across six continents, encompassing both enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) and non-EBPR processes. We reconstructed 29 near-complete PAO...

Over the past decade, poultry genomics has undergone a transformative shift from genome assembly to functional annotation, mechanistic discovery, and integrative applications that advance sustainable poultry production. This symposium highlights emerging tools and resources that enable researchers to move beyond statistical associations toward biological causality and breeding application. Functional annotation through the FAANG (Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes) initiative and...

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of obesity in NIS (based on recorded obesity in medical charts) is significantly lower than NHANES and NSQIP (based on measured BMI) suggesting underrecognition or underdocumentation of obesity in the inpatient setting.

CONCLUSION: Although high rates of recurrence persist within the postoperative phase of SC for CD, the postoperative use of TNFα inhibitor for prophylactic purposes for a subset of patients may promote a more durable endoscopic remission.
