[Mental Health Status and Its Influencing Factors in the Floating Population in Chengdu].

Objective To investigate the mental health status of the floating population in Chengdu and explore its influencing factors.Methods A questionnaire-based survey was conducted on non-Chengdu household workers over 16 years old in four directions(east,south,west,and north)of Chengdu from June 2017 to June 2018 to collect their social demographic characteristics and mental health status information through respondent driven sampling method.The 12-item general health questionnaire(GHQ-12) was used to assess the mental health status of the respondents,and a multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of mental health.Results The average score of GHQ-12 was(1.09±1.61)and the detection rate of mental problems was 7.11%.The main mental problems were anxiety and nervousness.Multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that over 55 years old(OR=0.425,95%CI=0.213-0.847),junior middle school education(OR=0.541,95%CI=0.356-0.824),length of residence ≥5 years(5-9 years:OR=0.603,95%CI=0.394-0.923;≥10 years:OR=0.534,95%CI=0.346-0.823),annual income ≥18 000 yuan(18 000-35 999 yuan:OR=0.524,95%CI=0.328-0.836;36 000-59 999 yuan:OR=0.327,95%CI=0.190-0.565;≥60 000 yuan: OR=0.356,95%CI=0.192-0.662),and a good relationship with employers(OR=0.519,95%CI=0.363-0.742)were the protective factors for the mental health.Divorce/widowhood(OR=2.351,95%CI=1.341-4.124),plan to return hometown after 5 years(OR=1.805,95%CI=1.084-3.006)and not yet consideration of leaving Chengdu(OR=1.844,95%CI=1.269-2.681)were the risk factors.Conclusions The mental health of the floating population in Chengdu is generally good.However,floating individuals with poor marital status and/or poor sense of belonging to Chengdu are at higher risk of mental problems.The local government should formulate and improve the policies and measures related to social welfare and public services for the floating population and try to enhance their urban integration and sense of belonging,thus improving their mental health.

Luteimonas rhizosphaerae sp. nov., isolated from the rhizosphere of Triticum aestivum L.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain 4-12T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of Triticum aestivum L. from the Xiaokai River irrigation area, China. The isolate grew optimally at 30 °C, pH 7.5-8.0 and with 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic analysis, strain 4-12T belonged to the genus Luteimonas with the highest degree of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Luteimonas tolerans UM1T (97.68 %), followed by Luteimonas terrae THG-MD21T (97.67 %), Lysobacter panaciterrae Gsoil 068T (97.21 %) and Luteimonas aestuarii B9T (97.16 %). However, the DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain 4-12T and closely related Luteimonas strains were well below 40 %. The average nucleotide identity and the Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator also showed low relatedness (below 95 and 70 %, respectively) between strain 4-12T and the type strains in genus Luteimonas. Ubiquinone-8 was the predominant quinone. The major fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C11 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω9c. Polar lipids were dominated by diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 69.5 %. According to the phenotypic, genetic and chemotaxonomic data, strain 4-12T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Luteimonas, for which the name >Luteimonas rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed, with strain 4-12T (=CCTCC AB 2016261T=KCTC 52585T) as the type strain.

Salinicola tamaricis sp. nov., a heavy-metal-tolerant, endophytic bacterium isolated from the halophyte Tamarix chinensis Lour.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, strain F01T, was isolated from leaves of Tamarix chinensis Lour. The isolate grew optimally at 30 °C, at pH 7.0 and with 5.0 % (w/v) NaCl, and showed a high tolerance to manganese, lead, nickel, ferrous ions and copper ions. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c and C16 : 0, and the predominant respiratory quinone was Q-9. Polar lipids were dominated by diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, unidentified aminoglycolipids and phospholipids. The DNA G+C content was 65.8 %. Based on multilocus phylogenetic analysis, strain F01T belonged to the genus Salinicola, with highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Salinicola peritrichatus CGMCC 1.12381T (97.7 %). The level of DNA-DNA hybridization between strain F01T and closely related Salinicola strains was well below 70 %. According to the phenotypic, genetic and chemotaxonomic data, strain F01T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Salinicola, for which the name Salinicola tamaricis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is F01T (=CCTCC AB 2015304T=KCTC 42855T).

Larsenimonas suaedae sp. nov., a moderately halophilic, endophytic bacterium isolated from the halophyte Suaeda salsa.

A moderately halophilic, Gram-stain-negative, non-endospore-forming endophytic bacterium designated strain ST307T was isolated from the euhalophyte Suaeda salsa in Dongying, China. Strain ST307T was aerobic, rod-shaped, motile and orange-yellow-pigmented. The organism grew at NaCl concentrations of 0.6-20 % (w/v) (optimum 5-6 %, w/v), at temperatures of 5-45 °C (optimum 35 °C) and at pH 5-9 (optimum pH 7-8). It accumulated poly-ß-hydroxybutyric acid and produced exopolysaccharides. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c/C18 : 1ω6c, C16 : 0 and C16 : 1ω7c/C16 : 1ω6c. The predominant lipoquinone was ubiquinone Q-9. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, a glycoaminolipid and a phosphoglycoaminolipid. The DNA G+C content was 60.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences and concatenated atpA, rpoD and secA gene sequences revealed that the strain represents a member of the genus Larsenimonas. The closest related type strain was Larsenimonas salina M1-18T. Mean DNA-DNA relatedness values between strain ST307T and the related species L. salina M1-18T, Chromohalobacter beijerinckii DSM 7218T, C. canadensis DSM 6769T, C. israelensis DSM 6768T, C. marismortui CGMCC 1.2321T, C. nigrandesensis DSM 14323T, C. salexigens DSM 3043T and C. sarecensis DSM 15547T were 15±2-45±1 %. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular features, strain ST307T clearly represents a novel species of the genus Larsenimonas. The name Larsenimonassuaedae sp. nov. is proposed, with ST307T (=CGMCC 1.8902T=DSM 22428T) as the type strain.
