Yeast serves as a functional alternative and sustainable protein source in aquaculture. This protocol outlines feeding strategy and intestinal proteome analysis of zebrafish (Danio rerio), using S-trap for digestion, iTRAQ, and mass spectrometry for protein quantification. Additionally, it details the analysis of chemical components in feed and functional assessments via Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Eukaryotic Orthologous Group (KOG), and Gene Ontology (GO).

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from September 2014 to February 2020 of children with status epilepticus (SE) who received at least two antiseizure medications (ASMs). We evaluated the risk of developing RSE after receiving a low total benzodiazepine dose (lower than 100 % of the minimum recommended dose for each benzodiazepine dose administered within 10 min) and a low first non-benzodiazepine ASM dose (lower than 100 % of the minimum recommended dose of non-benzodiazepine ASM given as the first single-dose) using a logistic regression model, adjusting for confounders such as time to ASMs.
Article Synopsis
- The study isolated two sub-populations of the bacteriophage Merri-merri-uth nyilam marra-natj (phage MMNM) in a Wurundjeri waterway, revealing minor phenotypic differences between them, particularly in their infection abilities.
- Through experimental evolution, 20 distinct phages were developed and sequenced, showing mutations concentrated in proteins that form the baseplate of the phage, similar to other minimalist phages.
- The research highlights that small mutations can drive phenotypic variation in phages, suggesting an alternative evolutionary pathway to the well-understood method of phage mosaicism for increasing host range diversity.
