The use of phagostimulant and Rhodobacter has been well proposed in Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis culture. Yet the influence of phagostimulant supplementation on the growth-promoting and defensive effects of Rhodobacter on Chinese mitten crabs is still unknown. In this study, a 40-day feeding trial was carried out to examine the contribution of dietary phagostimulant MTSG to the effects of R. azotoformans on the growth performance, immunity, antioxidant capability, intestinal flora diversity, and resistance of E. sinensis to bacterial challenge. The results revealed higher weight gain, specific growth rate, as well as serum and hepatopancreatic acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activities in the 3.0 to 9.0 g/kg diet MTSG + R. azotoformans-fed crabs than R. azotoformans-fed crabs, indicating that the supplementation of MTSG at 3.0 to 9.0 g/kg diet could improve the effect of R. azotoformans on growth performance, immunity and antioxidant capability of Chinese mitten crabs. Furthermore, the supplementation of MTSG at 3.0 to 9.0 g/kg diet could strengthen the effect of R. azotoformans on intestinal flora diversity of Chinese mitten crabs, and enhance the effect of R. azotoformans on the disease resistance against S. putrefaciens infection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the contribution of a phagostimulant (MTSG) to the growth-promoting and defensive effects of R. azotoformans on Chinese mitten crabs.

Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), a scaffold protein, plays a pivotal role in the NF-κB pathway downstream of T-cell receptors (TCRs) and B-cell receptors (BCRs). As a key signaling hub, MALT1 integrates various pathways, making it essential for both innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in the antibacterial immune responses of crustaceans remains unclear.

In mammals, caspase-8 primarily functions as an initiator caspase that regulates apoptosis, while in Drosophila, the caspase-8 ortholog DREDD not only induces apoptosis during development but also regulates antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) expression during Gram-negative bacterial infection-induced immune responses. However, the immune-related function of caspase-8 in the crustacean remains unknown. In the present study, the open reading frame of EsCaspase-8 was cloned from the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis).

Nanopolystyrene (NP) and phoxim (PHO) are pervasive environmental contaminants that pose a significant threat to the health of aquatic organisms, prompting widespread concern among researchers and the public alike. The hepatopancreas play important roles in the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), such as digestion, absorption and detoxification. This study assessed the hepatopancreatic toxicity caused by the exposure of Eriocheir sinensis to environmentally relevant concentrations of NP and/or PHO.
