Article Synopsis
  • Intestinal dysbiosis, which is a disruption in the gut microbiota, is linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the study aims to explore the role of acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL), which are bacterial signaling molecules, in this condition.
  • Using data from the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Multi'omics Database, the study found no AHL synthase genes but identified several putative receptor genes, with specific receptors being under-expressed in IBD patients, particularly those with Crohn's disease.
  • The research suggests that targeting LuxR receptors involved in bacterial quorum sensing could be a promising strategy to influence gut microbiota and potentially treat IBD.

-Acyl-l-homoserine lactones (AHLs) are a large family of signaling molecules in "quorum sensing" communication. This mechanism is present in a number of bacterial physiological phenomena, including pathogenic phenomena. In this study, we described a simple and accessible way to detect, annotate, and quantify these compounds from bacterial culture media.

Fish are ectotherm, which rely on the external temperature to regulate their internal body temperature, although some may perform partial endothermy. Together with photoperiod, temperature oscillations, contribute to synchronizing the daily and seasonal variations of fish metabolism, physiology and behavior. Recent studies are shedding light on the mechanisms of temperature sensing and behavioral thermoregulation in fish.

Brown macroalgae are an essential component of temperate coastal ecosystems and a growing economic sector. They harbor diverse microbial communities that regulate algal development and health. This algal holobiont is dynamic and achieves equilibrium a complex network of microbial and host interactions.

Tropical shrimp aquaculture systems in New Caledonia regularly face major crises resulting from outbreaks of Vibrio infections. Ponds are highly dynamic and challenging environments and display a wide range of trophic conditions. In farms affected by vibriosis, phytoplankton biomass and composition are highly variable.

Article Synopsis
  • Analysis of fish otoliths from the Taiaro lagoon and nearby ocean reveals that larval nuclei show isotopic equilibrium (delta 18O), indicating that lagoon fish have completed their life cycles in a closed environment.
  • The outer parts of otoliths present slight isotopic disequilibrium (< 0.2@1000) due to vital effects, suggesting some influence of biological processes.
  • All delta 13C values indicate significant isotopic disequilibrium, which is linked to metabolic activity in the fish.
