Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the marine red alga known for its economic importance in agar production and medicinal compounds, presenting its complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) for the first time.
  • The mitogenome is a circular structure with 25,909 base pairs, containing 24 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 24 transfer RNA genes, and an open reading frame of unknown function, demonstrating highly conserved gene structures.
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this alga is closely related to other species in its family, and this research will aid in future studies on the evolutionary relationships of marine red algae.

We investigated the globally distributed red algal genus , comprising 24 described species, many of which are economically important sources of agar and agarose. We used DNA-based species delimitation approaches, phylogenetic, and historical biogeographical analyses to uncover cryptic diversity and infer the drivers of biogeographic patterns. We delimited 43 species in , of which 19 are undescribed.

VIETBIO [Innovative approaches to biodiversity discovery and characterisation in Vietnam] is a bilateral German-Vietnamese research and capacity building project focusing on the development and transfer of new methods and technology towards an integrated biodiversity discovery and monitoring system for Vietnam. Dedicated field training and testing of innovative methodologies were undertaken in Cuc Phuong National Park as part and with support of the project, which led to the new biodiversity data and records made available in this article collection. VIETBIO is a collaboration between the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin - Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science (MfN), the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum, Freie Universität Berlin (BGBM) and the Vietnam National Museum of Nature (VNMN), the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR), the Southern Institute of Ecology (SIE), as well as the Institute of Tropical Biology (ITB); all Vietnamese institutions belong to the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists discovered a new marine ciliate species, Anteholosticha foissneri n. sp., during a study in Vietnam.
  • This species is similar to Anteholosticha monilata-like organisms in terms of macronuclear and micronuclei arrangement, but can be differentiated by the unique features of its cortical granules.
  • The study revealed a new type of cell division in this ciliate that’s not previously documented, suggesting it belongs to a distinct evolutionary group within its family.

The complete mitochondrial genome of which belongs to the family Nemipteridae was first determined. The complete mitochondrial genome was 16,836 bp in length with 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis using mitochondrial genomes of 11 related species revealed that formed a well-supported monophyletic group with the other Nemipteridae species.

The evolutionary and population demographic history of marine red algae in East Asia is poorly understood. Here, we reconstructed the phylogeographies of two upper intertidal species endemic to East Asia, Gelidiophycus divaricatus and G. freshwateri.

Introduction: Fulminant cardiopulmonary failure is a severe complication of hand, foot and mouth diseases due to enterovirus 71 infection, with a high mortality rate. The treatment is mainly supportive with aggressive cardiopulmonary resuscitation. We report the use of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration in a patient with pulmonary edema and shock due to enterovirus 71 infection.
