Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental acid-fast bacilli, which are present in water, soil, and biofilms [2].
Under these environmental conditions, acid tolerance response plays an important role in bacterial survival.
Amid China's many environmental problems, acid rain has received little international attention.
There were an unending string of controversies over environmental science (acid rain, ozone depletion, climate change), certain types of biomedical research (fetal tissue, embryonic stem cells), and more.
Van de Velde, L. A. et al. Stress kinase GCN2 controls the proliferative fitness and trafficking of cytotoxic T cells independent of environmental amino acid sensing.
The recent development of technologies designed to access this wealth of genetic information through environmental nucleic acid extraction has provided a means of avoiding the limitations of culture-dependent genetic exploitation.
Along with forest management, disturbances such as insect defoliation, global environmental changes, acid deposition, and rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations, have been identified as phenomena that could affect forest structure and composition.
In the last 3 years, the number of studies reporting a relationship between exposure of environmental phthalic acid ester (PAE) and human health has rapidly increased.
These microorganisms play a critical role in bioleaching processes for industrial (biominery) and environmental applications (acid mine drainage, bioremediation).
Of these, nucleases belonging to the classical HNH and NucA clades widely occur beyond the polymorphic toxins across diverse sub-cellular systems, such as, DNA repair/recombination, restriction-modification (R-M) and environmental nucleic acid degradation systems [ 103, 106, 111].
