The microbial composition in biogas liquid is complex, and whether it could participate in the sulfur conversion of coal remains unknown. In this study, sulfur conversion-related microbial communities were enriched from biogas liquid, which was dominated by genera <i>Anaerosolibacter</i>, <i>Bacillus</i>, <i>Hydrogenispora</i>, and <i>Oxobacter</i>. The co-culture of these groups with coal significantly changed the coal microbial community composition but did not increase the content of CH₄ and H₂S. The changed microbial communities mainly belonged to phyla Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteriota, and increased the relative abundance of genera <i>Bacillus</i>, <i>Thermicanus</i>, <i>Hydrogenispora</i>, <i>Oxobacter</i>, <i>Lutispora</i>, <i>Anaerovorax</i>, <i>Desulfurispora</i>, <i>Ruminiclostridium</i>, and <i>Fonticella</i>. From the microscopic structure of coal, an increase in the number of holes and roughness on the surface of the coal was found but the change of surface functional groups was weak. In addition, the addition of S-related microbial communities increased the contents of phoxim, methylthiobenzoylglycine and glibornuride M5 in aromatic compounds, as well as the content of lauryl hydrogen sulfate in alkyl compounds. Furthermore, the dibenzothiophene degradation-related microbial communities included <i>Bacillus</i>, <i>Brevibacillus</i>, <i>Brevundimonas</i>, <i>Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia</i>, and <i>Thermicanus</i>, which can break C-S bonds or disrupt benzene rings to degrade dibenzothiophene.

Guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) is one of the interferon-stimulating factors, which participates in the innate immunity of the host and plays an antiviral and antibacterial role. In this study, we explored how GBP1 is involved in IFN-α antiviral activity against HBV. Before being gathered, HepG2-NTCP and HepG2 2.15 cells were transfected with the wild-type hGBP1 plasmid or si-GBP1, respectively, and followed by stimulation with Peg-IFNα-2b. We systematically explored the role of GBP1 in regulating HBV infection in cell models. Additionally, we also examined GBP1 levels in CHB patients. GBP1 activity increased, and its half-life was prolonged after HBV infection. Overexpression of GBP1 inhibited the production of HBsAg and HBeAg, as well as HBs protein and HBV total RNA levels, whereas silencing of GBP1 inhibited its ability to block viral infections. Interestingly, overexpressing GBP1 co-treatment with Peg-IFNα-2b further increased the antiviral effect of IFN-α, while GBP1 silencing co-treatment with Peg-IFNα-2b partly restored its inhibitory effect on HBV. Mechanistically, GBP1 mediates the anti-HBV response of Peg-IFNα-2b by targeting HBs. Analysis of clinical samples revealed that GBP1 was elevated in CHB patients and increased with Peg-IFNα-2b treatment, while GBP1 showed good stability in the interferon response group. Our study demonstrates that GBP1 inhibits HBV replication and promotes HBsAg clearance.
