    Abstract Antarctic snow is a thriving habitat for a diverse array of complex microorganisms, and can present in different colors due to algae blooms. However, the potential role of Antarctic snow as reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has not been studied. Using metagenomic sequencing, we studied ARGs in green-snow and red-snow on the Fildes Peninsula, Antarctica. Alpha and beta diversities of ARGs, as well as co-occurrence between ARGs and bacteria were assessed. The results showed that a total of 525 ARGs conferring resistance to 30 antibiotic classes were detected across the samples, with half of the ARGs presented in all samples. Green-snow exhibited a higher number of ARGs compared to red-snow. The most abundant ARGs conferring resistance to commonly used antibiotics, including disinfecting agents and antiseptics, peptide, isoniazid, MLS, fluoroquinolone, aminocoumarin, etc. Multidrug resistance genes stood out as the most diverse and abundant, with antibiotic efflux emerging as the dominant resistance mechanism. Interestingly, the composition of ARGs in green-snow markedly differed from that in red-snow, highlighting distinct ARG profiles. Beta-diversity partitioning showed a higher contribution of nestedness for ARG's variation in green-snow, while higher contribution of turnover in red-snow. Furthermore, the co-occurrence analysis between ARGs and bacteria unveiled intricate relationships, indicating that certain ARGs may have multiple potential hosts. The observed differences in co-occurrence networks between green-snow and red-snow suggested distinct host relationships between ARGs and bacteria in these colored snows. Given the increasing appearance of the colored snow around the world due to the climate change, the results shed light on the mystery and potential implication of ARGs in green and red Antarctic snow.

    Abstract Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are natural products and emerging pollutants in remote environments, including permafrost regions that are rapidly thawing due to climate warming. We investigated the role of thermokarst lakes (including sediment and water) in reserving ARGs compared to permafrost soils across the permafrost regions on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. As intrinsically connected distinct environments, permafrost soil, lake sediment, and lake water harbored 1239 ARGs in total, while a considerable number of same ARGs (683 out of 1239) concurrently presented in all these environments. Soil and sediment had a higher number of ARGs than water. Multidrug resistance genes were the most diverse and abundant in all three environments, where cls, ropB, mdfA, fabI, and macB were the top five most abundant ARGs while with different orders. Soil and sediment had similar ARG profiles, and the alpha and beta diversity of ARGs in sediment were positively correlated with that in soil. The beta diversity of ARG profiles between sediment and soil was highly contributed by turnover component (89%). However, turnover and nestedness components were almost equality contributed (46%-54%) to the beta diversity of ARG profiles between soil and water as well as between sediment and water. The results suggested that thermokarst lake sediments might inherit the ARGs in permafrost soils. Water ARGs are the subset of soil ARGs and sediment ARGs to a certain degree with species turnover playing a significant role. When accounting the ARGs in sediment and water together, thermokarst lakes had a significantly higher number of ARGs than permafrost soils, suggesting that thermokarst lakes act as the hotspots of ARGs in permafrost regions. These findings are disturbing especially due to the fact that tremendous number of thermokarst lakes are forming under accelerating climate change.

    Abstract Thermokarst lakes form as the results of ice-rich permafrost thawing and act as important water resources in cold regions. However, the distributions of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in thermokarst lakes are far less studied. Using metagenomic sequencing approach, we provided the first study to document ARGs in thermokarst lakes of the Yellow River Source Area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). The results revealed that both sediment and water of the thermokarst lakes harbor diverse ARGs. Multidrug resistance genes were the most diverse, while rifamycin resistance genes were the most abundant with rpoB2 and rpoB genes having the highest proportion. Sediment samples contained more ARGs than water samples, but their composition differed between the two types of samples. However, the composition variations of sediment and water ARGs were closely correlated. The Sorensen dissimilarities of ARGs were controlled by strong turnover processes in sediment samples, and by turnover and nestedness in water samples. High contributions of nestedness were found between sediment and water samples. Moreover, ARGs in water had more significant relationships with environmental variables than that in sediment. Given the role of thermokarst lakes as important water resources in permafrost landscape, as well as intensifying influences of climate change and anthropogenetic activities, thermokarst lakes could bring potential ARG risks, warranting further investigation and evaluation.

    Abstract As a fundamental manner for learning and cognition, transfer learning has attracted widespread attention in recent years. Typical transfer learning tasks include unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and few-shot learning (FSL), which both attempt to sufficiently transfer discriminative knowledge from the training environment to the test environment to improve the model's generalization performance. Previous transfer learning methods usually ignore the potential conditional distribution shift between environments. This leads to the discriminability degradation in the test environments. Therefore, how to construct a learnable and interpretable metric to measure and then reduce the gap between conditional distributions is very important in the literature. In this article, we design the Conditional Kernel Bures (CKB) metric for characterizing conditional distribution discrepancy, and derive an empirical estimation with convergence guarantee. CKB provides a statistical and interpretable approach, under the optimal transportation framework, to understand the knowledge transfer mechanism. It is essentially an extension of optimal transportation from the marginal distributions to the conditional distributions. CKB can be used as a plug-and-play module and placed onto the loss layer in deep networks, thus, it plays the bottleneck role in representation learning. From this perspective, the new method with network architecture is abbreviated as BuresNet, and it can be used extract conditional invariant features for both UDA and FSL tasks. BuresNet can be trained in an end-to-end manner. Extensive experiment results on several benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of BuresNet.

    Abstract The long-standing crisis of soil salinization and alkalization poses a significant challenge to global agricultural development. High soil salinity-alkalinity, water dispersion, and nutrient loss present major hurdles to soil improvement. Novel environmentally friendly gels have demonstrated excellent water retention and slow-release capabilities in agricultural enhancement. However, their application for improving saline-alkali soil is both scarce and competitive. This study proposes a new strategy for regulating saline-alkali soil using gel-coated controlled-release soil modifiers (CWR-SRMs), where radical-polymerized gels are embedded on the surface of composite gel beads through spray coating. Characterization and performance analysis reveal that the three-dimensional spatial network structure rich in hydrophilic groups exhibits good thermal stability (first-stage weight loss temperature of 257.7 °C in thermogravimetric analysis) and encapsulation efficiency for fulvic acid‑potassium (FA-K), which can enhance soil quality in saline-alkali environments. The molecular chain relaxation under saline-alkali conditions promotes a synergistic effect of swelling and slow release, endowing it with qualifications as a water reservoir, Ca

    Abstract Doubly resonant sum frequency generation (DR-SFG) serves as a potent characteristic technique for probing the electronic spectra and vibronic coupling of molecules on surfaces. In this study, we successfully developed a novel infrared (IR)-white light (WL) DR-SFG spectroscopy based on narrowband IR and tunable broadband WL. This novel method was employed to explore the excitation spectrum and vibronic couplings of sub-monolayer Rhodamine 6G molecules. Our findings elucidate that the xanthene skeleton vibrational modes exhibit strong coupling with the S0-S1 electronic transition. Notably, we observed not only the 0-0 transition of the S0-S1 electronic continuum but also the 0-1 transition, a first time observation in the realm of DR-SFG spectroscopy. This advanced DR-SFG spectroscopy methodology facilitates a more sensitive examination of electronic spectra and the coupling between electronic transitions and vibrational modes, heralding a significant advancement in the understanding of molecular interactions on surfaces.
