AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objectives: The two oyster species studied hold considerable economic importance for artisanal harvest (Crassostrea rhizophorae) and aquaculture (Crassostrea gasar). Their draft genomes will play an important role in the application of genomic methods such as RNAseq, population-based genomic scans aiming at addressing expression responses to pollution stress, adaptation to salinity and temperature variation, and will also permit investigating the genetic bases and enable marker-assisted selection of economically important traits like shell and mantle coloration and resistance to temperature and disease.
Data Description: The draft assembly size of Crassostrea gasar is 506 Mbp, and of Crassostrea rhizophorae is 584 Mbp with scaffolds N50 of 11,3 Mbp and 4,9 Mbp, respectively. The general masked bases by RepeatMasker in both genomes were highly similar using different datasets. The masked bases varied from 9.41% in C. gasar to 10.05% in C. rhizophorae and 42.85% in C. gasar to 44.44% in C. rhizophorae using Dfam and RepeatModeler datasets, respectively. Functional annotation with eggNog resulted in 34,693 annotated proteins in C. rhizophorae and 26,328 in C. gasar. BUSCO analysis shows that almost 99% of genes (5,295) are complete in relation to the mollusk orthologous genes dataset (mollusca_odb10).

Microplastics and 17α Ethinylestradiol: How Do Different Aquatic Invertebrates Respond to This Combination of Contaminants?

The synthetic hormone 17α ethinyl estradiol (EE2) is a molecule widely used in female contraceptives and recognized as a contaminant of attention (Watch List) in the European Union due to its high consumption, endocrine effects and occurrence in aquatic environments. Its main source of introduction is domestic sewage where it can be associated with other contaminants such as microplastics (MPs). Due to their characteristics, they can combine with each other and exacerbate their isolated effects on biota.

In an era of unprecedented industrial and agricultural growth, metal contamination in marine environments is a pressing concern. Sentinel organisms such as the mangrove oyster Crassostrea gasar provide valuable insights into these environments' health. However, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying their response to metal exposure remains elusive.

Coastal environments, such as those in the Santa Catarina State (SC, Brazil), are considered the primary receptors of anthropogenic pollutants. In this study, our objective was to evaluate the levels of emerging contaminants (ECs) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in indigenous Crassostrea gasar oysters from different regions of SC coast in the summer season (March 2022). Field collections were conducted in the São Francisco do Sul, Itajaí, Florianópolis and Laguna coastal zones.
