First record of a Takayama bloom in Haizhou Bay in response to dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus.

Since 1990s, harmful algal blooms (HABs) of Kareniaceae, primarily caused by species of Karenia and Karlodinium and rarely by Takayama species, have been substantially increasing in frequency and duration in the coastal waters of China. In this study, we recorded a bloom of high abundance of T. acrotrocha in the Haizhou Bay, the Yellow Sea in September 2020, which is the first record of a Takayama bloom in the temperate coastal waters of China.

Molecular characterization and tissue-specific expression of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase α gene from Grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase α (ACC1), the major regulatory enzyme of fatty acid biosynthesis, catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. The full-length cDNA coding ACC1 isoform was cloned from liver of grass carp. The cDNA obtained was 7515bp with a 7173bp open reading frame encoding 2389 amino acids.
