Biogeochemical and microbiological characterization of marine sediments taken from the Yellow Sea of South Korea was carried out. One hundred and thirty six bacterial strains were isolated, characterized and phylogenetic relationship was evaluated. The gene sequences of 16S rDNA regions were examined to study the phylogenetic analysis of bacterial community in the marine sediments. Among 136 isolates, 5 bacterial isolates were identified as novel members, remaining 131 isolates were fall into 5 major linkages of bacterial phyla represented as follows: Firmicutes, alpha, gamma-Proteobacteria, High G + C and Bacteroidetes. Bacterial community in sediments mainly dominated by Firmicutes (58.77%) and followed by gamma-Pateobacteria (38.16%). Gamma-Proteobacteria domain highly diverged and mainly consists of the genera Vibrio, Marinobacterium, Photobacterium, Pseudoalteromonas, Oceanisphaera, Halomonas, Alteromonas, Stenotrophomonas and Pseudomonas. Total N and Organic matter content in Yellow Sea of South Korea were relatively high. The Total-N content in the sediments was varied from 177.31 to 1974.96 (mg/kg) and organic matter ranged from 0.82 to 4.23 (g/100 g). The current research work provides clear explanation obtained for the phylogenetic affiliation of the culturable bacterial community in sediments of South Korean Yellow Sea and revealed the relationship with biogeochemical characteristics of the sediments.

Solenogastres is a group of mollusks with evolutionary and ecological importance. Nevertheless, their diversity is underestimated and knowledge about the distribution of the approximately 300 formally described species is limited. Factors that contribute to this include their small size and frequent misidentification by non-specialists.

Identifying the signatures of intestinal dysbiosis caused by common stresses is fundamental to establishing efficient health monitoring strategies for sea cucumber. This study investigated the impact of six common stress experienced frequently in aquaculture on the growth performance, intestinal homeostasis and microbiota of sea cucumber, including thermal (23°C), hypoosmotic (22‰ salinity), ammonium (0.5 mg/L NH -N), and nitrite (0.

To meet the demand of consumers for high-quality dry-cured fish. This study investigates the relationship between microbial diversity and the changes in physicochemical properties and non-volatile flavor compounds of dry-cured Spanish mackerel (DCSM) throughout the curing process. Our findings demonstrate that moisture content significantly decreased during curing, while NaCl generally increased.

Sphingosine kinases (SPHKs) are essential enzymes that catalyze the phosphorylation of sphingosine to produce sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which plays pivotal roles in inflammation and immune regulation. In this study, genome-wide association analysis (GWAS) identified the gene as closely associated with the resistance of yellow drum () to . Structural prediction showed that YDSPHK1 contains a typical diacylglycerol kinase catalytic (DAGKc) domain (154-291 aa).

Selecting shrimp strains that perform well on a plant-based diet holds promise for solving the fishmeal (FM) shortage issue, with genetic improvement of feed efficiency (FE) being a key focus. This study compared a plant-based (fishmeal-free) diet with a 25% FM diet for the Pacific whiteleg shrimp () to determine whether the FE-related traits, including residual feed intake (RFI), average daily weight gain (ADG), and daily feed intake (DFI), exhibit diet-specific genetic variations and genotype-by-diet (genotype × diet) interactions. Results showed that RFI was significantly higher under the plant-based diet treatment compared to the FM-based diet treatment (0.
