Two motile bacterial strains, designated as cfHf56-1 and SW 252, were isolated from the coelomic fluid of and from the surrounding seawater at the animal sampling site, respectively. The sea cucumber was collected in the Glénan archipelago (Brittany, France). Strains cfHf56-1 and SW 252 were Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming and rod-shaped bacteria. Colonies made on marine agar plates were brown in color. The pH and temperature ranges for growth were 7-8 and 18-30 °C, respectively, in marine broth. The major fatty acids were 16 : 1 cis9 and 16 : 0. Phylogenetic analyses evidenced that both strains belong to a novel species in the genus . The strains were closely related to the type strains of , and with 75-78 % ANI and 19-21 % dDDH values. In this context, cfHf56-1 (= CIP 111854 = CECT 30642) is considered as the type strain of the novel species for which the name sp. nov. is proposed. The genome of the type strain is characterized by a size of 5.1 Mbp and a G+C content of 40.5%.

Apostichopus japonicus is a crucial aquaculture species in Asia, and seedling production is fundamental to its cultivation. Nevertheless, the reproductive behavior of this species remains difficult to regulate artificially. Although the spawning mode of sea cucumbers is well documented, the endocrine mechanisms that regulate the synchronized processes of oocyte maturation and spawning behavior remain poorly understood.

Aeromonas hydrophila, a Gram-negative bacterium, poses significant threats to aquaculture, leading to substantial economic losses. Its pathogenicity is primarily driven by a sophisticated quorum sensing (QS) system that regulates virulence factors. This study investigates saponins extracted from the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota as potential natural inhibitors of QS in A.

Background: Food-derived immunomodulatory peptides serve as vital agents in promoting health by protecting the body against pathogens. The present study focused on determining the optimal ratio for combining different peptides to form a complex that enhances immune activity in immunosuppressed zebrafish.
Results: We established a method for immunosuppression in zebrafish, discovering that treatment with 125 μg mL chloramphenicol significantly decreased the macrophage number and neutrophil fluorescence intensity.

The highly sulfated polysaccharide sea cucumber chondroitin sulfate (SCCS) can alleviate intestinal damage and display strong anti-food-allergic activity. The O-glycopattern levels in colonic mucin are closely related to the its protective effect on function of the intestinal barrier. However, the effect of the SCCS on colonic mucin O-glycan has not been investigated.

Thrombosis is a major complication of cardiovascular disease that can lead to fatal myocardial infarction, acute ischemic stroke and venous thromboembolism, posing a significant threat to human health and even life. Recent research showed that polysaccharides from marine organisms, including marine plants and marine animals, exhibit excellent anticoagulant activity. However, different marine anticoagulant-active polysaccharides (MAPs) exhibit significant differences in both the structure and anticoagulant activity.
