Fish gut microbiota, encompassing a colossal reserve of microbes represents a dynamic ecosystem, influenced by a myriad of environmental and host factors. The current study presents a comprehensive insight into Sardinella longiceps gut microbiome using whole metagenome shotgun sequencing. Taxonomic profiling identified the predominance of phylum Proteobacteria, comprising of Photobacterium, Vibrio and Shewanella sp. Functional annotation revealed the dominance of Clustering based subsystems, Carbohydrate, and Amino acids and derivatives. Analysis of Virulence, disease and defense subsystem identified genes conferring resistance to antibiotics and toxic compounds, like multidrug resistance efflux pumps and resistance genes for fluoroquinolones and heavy metals like cobalt, zinc, cadmium and copper. The presence of overlapping genetic mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals, like the efflux pumps is a serious cause of concern as it is likely to aggravate co-selection pressure, leading to an increased dissemination of these resistance genes to fish and humans.

The assessment of microbial spoilage in fresh fish is a major concern for the fish industry. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency and reliability of an electronic nose (E-nose) to detect microbial spoilage of fresh sardines () by comparing its measurements with Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Hydrogen Sulfide (HS) producing bacterial count and Trimethylamine Oxide (TMAO) reducing bacterial count after variable storage conditions. The samples were stored at 0 °C (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 days) and 25 °C (0, 3, 6, and 9 h), while day 0 was used as a control.

Article Synopsis
- The Indian oil sardine (Sardinella longiceps) is an important small fish found in the Northern Indian Ocean, and its genome has been thoroughly sequenced using modern technologies.
- The genome is 1.077 Gb in size, with a high-quality assembly showing 93.5% completeness, and it includes 46,316 predicted protein-coding genes.
- This fish is also nutritionally valuable due to its high omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and key genes related to omega-3 biosynthesis have been identified, though their functionality still needs to be confirmed.

Phthalate esters (PEs) one of the widely used plasticizers, and are known for their environmental contamination and endocrine disruption. Hence, it is important to study their distribution in a riverine environment. This study was aimed to determine the Spatio-temporal trends of 16 PEs in surface water, sediment and fish from rivers in southern India, and to assess their environmental health risks.

With the increasing use of nuclear technology, concerns about the contamination of water resources with radionuclides and the contamination of seafood are increasing. In the current investigation, a meta-analysis and exposure assessment regarding the concentration of radionuclides, including lead-210 (Pb-210), polonium -210 (Po-210), and cesium-137 (Cs-137) in the muscle of Sardin fish were conducted. In this regard, some databases including Scopus and PubMed were selected to retrieve papers on the concentration of radionuclides in the muscle of Sardin fish from January 2000 to 25 June 2021.

L-asparaginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-asparagine to L-aspartic acid and ammonia. It has application in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children, as well as in other malignancies, in addition to its role as a food processing aid for the mitigation of acrylamide formation in the baking industry. Its use in cancer chemotherapy is limited due to problems such as its intrinsic glutaminase activity and associated side effects, leading to an increased interest in the search for novel L-asparaginases without L-glutaminase activity.
