Evolution Characteristics of Microbial Diversity During the Treatment of Black-odor Water by Carbon Fiber Bio-contact Oxidation by ZHANG Min, LIU Fengru, YIN Juan, LI Hongju, XU Yang, ZHANG Yang

“…In order to investigate the influence of the growth environment on the evolution of the structural diversity characteristics of the bacterial community during the treatment of black-odor water by carbon fiber bio-contact oxidation,this paper studies the characteristics of bacterial community on inoculated sludge,in-equipment activated sludge and carbon fiber membrane by high-throughput sequencing techniques.The results show that with the progress of biofilm culturing,the microbial species of activated sludge in the equipment gradually decreased,the diversity of bacterial community structure increased compared with inoculated sludge.The difference in bacterial community structure between the carbon fiber membrane D sample and E sample at stable phase was small.The analysis results of dominant bacterial flora show that there were 20 phylum found in the samples.The dominant microbial populations were Proteobacteria,Pachyphyta,Actinomycetes and Bacteroides with their relative abundance of about 75%～95%.At the class level,more than 20 classes were found in the samples,the dominant microbial populations were Alphaproteobacteria,Betaproteobacteria,Deltaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria.The Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria on activated sludge and carbon fiber in the equipment were higher than those in the inoculated sludge,and the clostridia was lower than that in the inoculated sludge,indicating that the bacterial community structure had undergone significant changes after inoculated biofilm culturing with activated sludge.…”

Research on the scalability of parallel community detection algorithms by Qiang LIU, Yan JIA, Binxing FANG, Bin ZHOU, Yue HU, Jiuming HUANG

“…The social network often contains a large amount of information about users and groups,such as topic evolution mode,group aggregation effect,the law of information dissemination and so on.The mining of these information has become an important task for social network analysis.As one characteristic of the social network,the group aggregation effect is characterized by the community structure of the social network.The discovery of community structure has become the basis and key point of other social network analysis tasks.With the rapid growth of the number of online social network users,the traditional community detection methods have been difficult to be used,which contributes to the development of parallel community detection technology.The current mainstream parallel community detection methods,including Louvain algorithm and label propagation algorithm,were tested in the large-scale data sets,and corresponding advantages and disadvantages were pointed out so as to provide useful information for later applications.…”

Natural Hybridization Between <i>Quercus crassipes</i> and <i>Q. crassifolia</i> (Fagaceae) Is a Key Process to Ensure the Biodiversity of Their Associated Lichen Community by Leticia Valencia-Cuevas, Jennie Melhado-Carboney, Efraín Tovar-Sánchez

“…However, little is known about how the genetic traits of a host tree influence which lichen species grow on it and, consequently, the community structure of this funga. In this study, we investigated how the genetic diversity GD of host oak taxa (<i>Quercus crassifolia</i>, <i>Q. crassipes</i> and their putative hybrid: <i>Q</i>. × <i>dysophylla</i>) influence the community structure of the associated epiphytic lichen community in two hybrid zones (HZs) in Central Mexico. …”
