Article Synopsis
- Cyanobacterial blooms, specifically Microcystis aeruginosa, and aquatic plants like Ottelia acuminata can significantly impact the health and behavior of freshwater fish, particularly affecting their appetite and metabolism.
- In a study involving stone moroko fish, exposure to M. aeruginosa led to an increase in appetite-inhibiting substances and a decrease in stimulatory ones, which indicates heightened stress levels related to their metabolic functions.
- Interestingly, O. acuminata did not negatively affect the fish alone but appeared to mitigate some harmful effects of M. aeruginosa, suggesting a potential protective role worth further investigation.
Due to their potential release into the environment, the ecotoxicity of TiCT (MXene) nanomaterials is a growing concern. Unfortunately, little is known about the toxic effects and mechanisms through which TiCT induces toxicity in aquatic organisms. The aim of this study is thus to investigate the toxic effects and mechanisms of Daphnia magna upon exposure to TiCT with different sheet sizes (100 nm [TiCT-100] and 500 nm [TiCT-500]) by employing conventional toxicology and metabolomics analysis.

Microscopic observation of the strain revealed that its morphological characteristics were highly similar to those of the genus . The cloning of 18S rDNA and phylogenetic analysis showed that the algae were clustered with with a high support rate, indicating that the alga was .

Objective: To analyze the forces of rotational wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor on small tissue pieces or microcarrier particles and to determine the tracks of microcarrier particles in RWV bioreactor.
Methods: The motion of the microcarrier in the rotating wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor with both the inner and outer cylinders rotating was modeled by numerical simulation.
Results: The continuous trajectory of microcarrier particles, including the possible collision with the wall was obtained.
