[Bacterial Community Composition in Channel Sediment in Response to Mariculture Wastewater Drainage].

The impact of mariculture on the ecological environment of sediments in surrounding waters is intensely debated. Microbial communities are considered to be keystone indicators of lineage responses to changes in environmental quality. To examine the mariculture effects, we collected channel sediment from four sites in the culture area including oneintake canal, one outfall, and two outlet canals.

Starvation stress affects the interplay among shrimp gut microbiota, digestion and immune activities.

Aquatic animals are frequently suffered from starvation due to restricted food availability or deprivation. It is currently known that gut microbiota assists host in nutrient acquisition. Thus, exploring the gut microbiota responses would improve our understanding on physiological adaptation to starvation.

Microbial Communities and Diversities in Mudflat Sediments Analyzed Using a Modified Metatranscriptomic Method.

Intertidal mudflats are land-sea interaction areas and play important roles in global nutrient cycles. However, a comprehensive understanding of microbial communities in these mudflats remains elusive. In this study, mudflat sediment samples from the Dongtan wetland of Chongming Island, the largest alluvial island in the world, were collected.
