One of the skills that I found most significant from BIOG 1500 was scientific communication. Being able to effectively communication data and information is important for research in terms of grant proposals, writing articles, and presentations. #CUinTheLab

Human health risks are also a major factor. An increase in natural disasters creates burdens for healthcare systems. Climate sensitive disorders such as dengue fever and diarrheal diseases have been increasing due to temperature. #CUinThelab [3/3]

Climate change in Vietnam has drastic effects on food insecurity. The variability in weather, specifically flash floods, alongside urbanization around major river systems leads to decreases in rice patty formation. #CUinThelab #climatechange [1/3]

Vietnam biodiversity is also being impacted by climate change. Rainforests were reduced to only cover 28% of the country when previous coverage was ~100%. Over 700 of of Vietnam's species are nationally threatened and 80% of native crops have been lost. [2/3]

RESULTS: Algae content was highest in phosphorous limited groups. However, nitrogen limited group showed most growth of Daphnia. Redundancy analysis showed phosphorous is the limiting factor in a CAES. [3/3]

In this article, Hao et al. used a closed aquatic ecological system (CAES) to measure response to nutrient limitations including depletion of inorganic molecules carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. #limitingnutrients #CUinthelab [1/3] https://t.co/jho8zsGdmy

METHODS: Algal cultures C. pyrenoidosa and C. reinhardtii and Daphnia magna were used and put in groups of limited carbon, nitrogen, or phosphorous. Redundancy analysis was used to analyze closed community composition and possible limiting factors. [2/3]

RESULTS: 76 resistant determinants were found in the duck waste. Major findings were five B-lactamase encoding genes, some which could hydrolyze penicillins and cephalosporins and others associated with mobile genetic elements which can transfer genes to other bacteria. [3/3]

In “Duck wastes as a potential reservoir of novel antibiotic resistance genes,” Wang et al. uses a functional metagenomic approach to study antibiotic resistance genes (AGRs) from duck farm waste samples. #duckfarm #antibioticresitance #CUinthelab [1/3]

METHODS: Wang et al. collected samples from 5 different duck waste farms in China and extracted the metagenomic DNA. Minimum inhibitory concentrations and antibiotic degradations assays were used to study AGRs in E. coli that underwent plasma recombination. [2/3]
