The ability of metabolites contained in culture liquid of 62 strains of marine fungi to affect the activity of two digestive enzymes of marine mollusks--endo-1,3-beta-D-glucanase of Spisula sachalinensis and beta-D-glucosidase of Littorina kurila--was studied. It was found that 66 and 71% of specimens activated, 18 and 7% inhibited, and 16 and 22% did not affect the activity of endo-1,3-beta-D-glucanase and beta-D-glucosidase, respectively. It is demonstrated that the metabolites of brown algae and marine sponges can be used for a targeted regulation of enzyme biosynthesis by marine fungi. The protein inhibitor of endo-1,3-beta-D-glucanases isolated from the brown alga Laminaria cichorioides blocked the biosynthesis of almost all O-glycosylhydrolases in five strains of marine fungi studied. The presence in culture medium of halistanol sulfate from the marine sponge of the family Halichondriidae either did not affect or activated the biosynthesis of enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism by marine fungi.

Phytotoxic air pollutants such as atmospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO) are among the major stresses affecting tree photosynthesis in urban areas. We clarified the relationship between NO concentrations and photosynthetic function for three major urban trees, Prunus × yedoensis, Rhododendron pulchrum, and Ginkgo biloba, planted in Kyoto and surrounding cities, combining our published data and new data collected from 2020 to 2023. High NO increased long-term water use efficiency for all species.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic contaminants with a widespread presence in diverse environmental contexts. Transformation processes of PAHs via degradation and biotransformation have parallels in humans, animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Mapping the transformation products of PAHs is therefore crucial for assessing their toxicological impact and developing effective monitoring strategies.

Janustatin A is a potently cytotoxic polyketide alkaloid produced at trace amounts by the marine bacterial plant symbiont . Its biosynthetic terminus features an unusual pyridine-containing bicyclic system of unclear origin, in which polyketide and amino acid extension units appear reversed compared to the order of enzymatic modules in the polyketide synthase (PKS)-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) assembly line. To elucidate unknown steps in heterocycle formation, we first established robust genome engineering tools in .

Coral thermal tolerance is intimately linked to their symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic microorganisms. However, the potential compensatory role of symbiotic photosynthetic bacteria in supporting Symbiodiniaceae photosynthesis under extreme summer temperatures remains largely unexplored. Here, we examined the seasonal variations in Symbiodiniaceae and photosynthetic bacterial community structures in Pavona decussata corals from Weizhou Island, Beibu Gulf, China, with particular emphasis on the role of photosynthetic bacteria under elevated temperature conditions.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive, short rod-shaped marine bacterium, designated as YIC-827, was isolated from Qingdao, Shandong Province, China. The results showed that cells of strain YIC-827 could grow optimally at 25-35 °C, pH 6.5-7.
