which can be used as standards to guide the production of authentic medicinal materials based on inorganic elements (e.g. sodium, iron, cadmium, and titanium) [3], organic chemical components [4], and microorganisms, which help to quickly distinguish authentic medicinal materials from non-authenti...
In fact, since in this case, the probability of the samples belonging to the majority classes is significantly high, the algorithms are likely to classify new observations into the majority classes. This leads to models that have poor predictive performance, especially for the minority classes. ...
All types of samples are prone to external contamination with microorganisms, which alter the microbiome composition of the sample leading to biased results. Two main types of contaminations can influence microbiome studies: contamination by external DNA (due to contaminants from the local environment w...
In addition, molecular methods such as give a generalized overview for the methods, recognizing that details fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) can be used to locate specific of techniques will change as these technologies, and the methods for microorganisms in their precise locations within a...
Plant hormones are low molecular weight naturally occurring plant growth regulators. Interestingly, their production is not exclusive to plants as they are also found in microorganisms and fungi. These substances govern virtually all essential processes in a plant’s lifecycle, including germination, plan...

We used Qiime (v1.9.1) and VSEARCH (v1.9.6) to classify and identify the intestinal microbiome. In brief, the process involved the following steps: [1] Unique sequences were extracted from the optimized effective sequences, and the number of repetitions of each sequence was noted [2]. Un...
Water is critical for life, but many people do not have access to clean and safe drinking water and die because of waterborne diseases. The analysis of drinking water for the presence of indicator microorganisms is key to determining microbiological quality and public health safety. However, ...
This collective of microorganisms within a community (ecosystem) and their genetic material is referred to as a microbiome [4, 5]. Previously, culture-dependent techniques were used to study the microbiome, however, researchers have found that less than 1 % of all bacteria can be cultured ...
