sp. nov (Chlorellaceae, Chlorophyta) and Analysis of Its Organelle Genomes.

Chlorellacean members are common in aquatic or subaerial habitats, and many of them have significant economic value. Taxonomic reports and organelle genome data for the clade, an important subgroup within this family, are limited, hindering the understanding and exploitation of this clade. In this study, a fusiform-celled strain, FACHB-3607, was isolated from a pond in China.

Root-knot nematodes exploit the catalase-like effector to manipulate plant reactive oxygen species levels by directly degrading HO.

Plants produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon infection, which typically trigger defence mechanisms and impede pathogen proliferation. Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) represent highly detrimental pathogens capable of parasitizing a broad spectrum of crops, resulting in substantial annual agricultural losses.

Unzipped chromosome-level genomes reveal allopolyploid nematode origin pattern as unreduced gamete hybridization.

The formation and consequences of polyploidization in animals with clonal reproduction remain largely unknown. Clade I root-knot nematodes (RKNs), characterized by parthenogenesis and allopolyploidy, show a widespread geographical distribution and extensive agricultural destruction. Here, we generated 4 unzipped polyploid RKN genomes and identified a putative novel alternative telomeric element.

Three novel leaderless bacteriocins have antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria to serve as promising food biopreservative.

Background: Due to the detrimental effects of chemical preservatives, there has been an increasing demand for safer, healthier and natural bio-preservatives. Bacteriocins have attracted increasing interest because of their potential as natural bio-preservatives.

Results: We screened a large number of Bacillus thuringiensis strains and isolated one strain (B.

Comparative Genomics of Reveals What Makes a Cosmopolitan Bacterium.

Although the strategies used by bacteria to adapt to specific environmental conditions are widely reported, fewer studies have addressed how microbes with a cosmopolitan distribution can survive in diverse ecosystems. is a versatile genus whose members are commonly found in various habitats. To better understand the mechanisms underlying the universality of , we collected 105 strains from diverse environments and performed large-scale metabolic and adaptive ability tests.

De novo transcriptome sequencing and analysis revealed the molecular basis of rapid fat accumulation by black soldier fly (, L.) for development of insectival biodiesel.

Background: Black soldier fly (BSF, L.) can efficiently degrade organic wastes and transform into a high fat containing insect biomass that could be used as feedstock for biodiesel production. Meanwhile, the molecular regulatory basis of fat accumulation by BSF is still unclear; it is necessary to identify vital genes and regulators that are involved in fat accumulation.

Development and comparison of intramuscularly long-acting paliperidone palmitate nanosuspensions with different particle size.

The main purpose of this study was to develop and compare the pharmacokinetic behavior of two paliperidone palmitate (PP) nanosuspensions with different particle size after intramuscular (i.m.) administration.
