The apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1819), a freshwater snail listed as a pernicious invasive alien species by the World Conservation Union (IUCN), has caused serious agricultural and ecological harm worldwide. This species has inflicted significant agricultural and ecological damage on a global scale. Under conditions of extreme environmental stress, the apple snail enters a state of dormancy and remains in this dormant phase until environmental conditions become favorable again, which serves as a crucial survival strategy.

However, the lack of high-quality genome assembly has hindered our understanding of O. oratoria, particularly the mechanisms underlying its developed visual system.

- Nitrile-containing insecticides can be turned into amide derivatives, with TFNG-AM being converted to TFNG using nitrile hydratase/amidase, though the specific amidase involved was not fully understood until now.
- The study found that the insecticide flonicamid (FLO) degrades into the acid metabolite TFNG through the intermediate TFNG-AM, with 82.8% of FLO transformed by resting cells over 48 hours.
- A new amidase enzyme called PmsiA was discovered and characterized, showing only 20-30% similarity to known amidases, and structural analyses suggested specific residues play a crucial role in its activity, enhancing our understanding of biodegradation of insecticides
