Exploring Dietary Composition in an Invasive Apple Snail From Different Habitats Combining With Intestinal Microbiota and Metabolomics.

Pomacea canaliculata is recognized as a globally invasive aquatic species. Analyses of intestinal microbiota, dietary composition, and metabolism of invasive species can enhance our understanding of their feeding strategies and physiological adaptation strategies to the environment. Intestinal content samples were collected from P.

Effects of glyphosate-based herbicide on gut microbes and hepatopancreatic metabolism in Pomacea canaliculata.

Roundup®, a prominent glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH), holds a significant position in the global market. However, studies of its effects on aquatic invertebrates, including molluscs are limited. Pomacea canaliculata, a large freshwater snail naturally thrives in agricultural environments where GBH is extensively employed.

A novel high-strength photoluminescent hydrogel for tissue engineering.

In this work, Eu-containing poly (vinyl acetate) and poly (vinyl alcohol) are made into triple physical cross-linked hydrogels. The hydrogels exhibit good tensile strength, ultrahigh toughness, excellent compressive recovery and identifiability. The superior mechanical properties of the hydrogels originate from the synergetic interactions of hydrogen bonding, molecular crystals, and hydrophobic interactions.

A novel transparent luminous hydrogel with self-healing property.

Intelligent hydrogels have promising applications in a wide variety of fields. Herein, a transparent luminous hydrogel with self-healing properties was prepared from a novel Eu-containing PVA that was designed and synthesized via free radical copolymerization and ester hydrolysis. Fluorescence behavior of the Eu-PVA hydrogel depended on the Eu organic complex in Eu-PVA.
