Saltwater culture of Myrothecium verrucaria, separated from a Spongia sp. collected in Hawaii, was a source of three new trichothecenes, 3-hydroxyroridin E (1a), 13'-acetyltrichoverrin B (2), and miophytocen C (3) and nine known related compounds (1b, 4, 5, 6, 7a, 7b, 8, 9a, and 9b). The stereostructures of the new compounds were established on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectral analyses and a chemical transformation. At the same time, the stereostructures of known compounds, 1b, 4, and 5 reported previously were also elucidated. All the compounds except 3 showed significant cytotoxicity against murine and human tumor cell lines. Moreover, the structure-activity relationships (SARs) were established from the results of the bioassay data.

Background: Culture and its practice is a recognised, but not well understood factor, in Aboriginal health and wellbeing. Our study aimed to explore how health and wellbeing are phenomenologically connected to cultural practices, foods, medicines, languages, and Country, through the platform of 'on-Country' camps facilitated by Aboriginal cultural knowledge holders in NSW, Australia.
Methods: Our study is based on a collaboration between knowledge holders from freshwater and saltwater cultures, and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers.

Soil salinization and waterlogging are critical environmental issues affecting agricultural productivity and cultural heritage preservation, particularly in arid regions. This study investigated soil degradation processes in the archaeologically and agriculturally significant northeastern Nile Delta of Egypt. The objective was to assess the severity of soil degradation and identify key drivers related to water resources and soil characteristics to aid in the development of management strategies.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is an economically important farmed fish. This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different culture salinities on the growth and muscle quality of grass carp. We found that salinity of 0 to 5 had no significant effect on the growth of grass carp, but it significantly decreased at salinities above 5.

Cobalt pollution is harmful to both the aquatic ecosystem and human health. As the primary producer of aquatic ecosystems in hypersaline environments, unicellular planktonic microalgae is considered to be a low-energy and eco-friendly biosorbent that removes excess cobalt and enhances the vitality of coastal and marine ecosystems. In this study, we found that the halotolerant microalga named sp.
