RESUMO
To stipulate the rationale of spraying doses and to determine the safe interval period of boscalid suspension concentrate (SC), the degradation dynamics and residual levels were investigated in cucumber and soil using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Field trials were conducted according to Chinese Guideline on pesticide residue trials. Following application, the degradation kinetics was best ascribed to first-order kinetic models with half-life of 2.67-9.90 d in cucumber. Spraying boscalid SC at 1.5-fold the recommended dosage yield terminal residues, which are clearly lower than the maximum residue limit (MRL) established by China (MRL =5 mg.kg-1) in cucumber. At variance, the dissipation dynamics in soil did not fit to first-order kinetics and the half-life was more than 17 days, the finding which denotes that the degradation behavior of boscalid in soil proceeds slowly. It has therefore been shown that boscalid is safe for use on cucumbers under the recommended dosage.

Microbial colonization plays an instrumental role in the health of the host. However, the host factors that facilitate the establishment of the microbial colonization remain unclear. Here, we establish a screening method to identify host factors regulating E. coli colonization in C. elegans. We find that a BCF-1 possessing N-glycosylation promotes E. coli colonization by directly binding to E. coli via its fimbrial protein, YdeR. BCF-1 is activated by the bacteria and interacts with an oligosaccharyl transferase, OSTB-1, which is critical for regulating E. coli colonization. We also show that the N-glycosylation of BCF-1 is critical for E. coli colonization. In addition, we find that the microbiota composition is shaped by BCF-1. In summary, this study shows a "scaffold model" for bacterial colonization between a host glycoprotein and E. coli, and it also introduces a powerful research approach to identify individual host factors involved in modulating bacterial colonization.
