Effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO-NP) exposure in a novel Amur sturgeon Acipenser schrenckii hepatocyte cell line.

In vitro cell culture is crucial for predicting the toxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO-NP). However, assessing the toxicity of TiO-NPs in sturgeon remains difficult given the lack of sufficient cell lines. We established and characterized the first hepatocyte cell line from Acipenser schrenckii liver tissue (ASL).

A Novel Transposon Tn Harbors Multidrug Resistance Genes in a Pathogenic Strain QST31.

Pathogenic spp. are the etiological agents of Motile Aeromonas Septicemia (MAS). This study aimed to identify the pathogen of diseased tadpoles () and the antibiotic-resistance characteristics of this bacterium.

microRNA regulation of skin pigmentation in golden-back mutant of crucian carp from a rice-fish integrated farming system.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs (21-25 nucleotides) that act as essential components of several biological processes. Golden-back crucian carp (GBCrC, Carassius auratus) is a naturally mutant species of carp that has two distinct body skin color types (golden and greenish-grey), making it an excellent model for research on the genetic basis of pigmentation. Here, we performed small RNA (sRNA) analysis on the two different skin colors via Illumina sequencing.

Effects of different regimes of low temperature on egg hatching of Dactylogyrus vastator (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae).

The development of dactylogyrids is dependent on water temperature, and their eggs fail to hatch below 5 °C. In the field, however, mean abundance of Dactylogyrus species increases and reaches a high level in winter, which suggests that infective oncomiracidia hatch from eggs in winter. Therefore, the effect of low water temperature on in vitro egg hatching of D.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Siluriformes, Sisoridae, Pareuchiloglanis): genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis.

is mainly distributed in Irrawaddy (China and Myanmar), Salween (China and Myanmar), and the Yangtze River drainage areas. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of , which has a circular structure of 16,863 bp, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a non-coding control region (D-loop), is being reported for the first time. The A, T, C, and G content were 31.

The complete mitochondrial genome of (Cyprinidae: Labeoninae).

is a small-sized fish which is endemic to Guizhou province, China. The complete mitochondrial genome of is 16,598 bp in total length, with 37 genes, including 13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes (16S and 12S) and a non-coding region (D-loop). The positions and sequences of genes were consistent with congeners of Labeoninae.

Complete genome sequence data of multidrug-resistant Stenotrophomonas sp. strain SXG-1.

Objectives A multidrug-resistant bacterium, Stenotrophomonas sp. SXG-1, was isolated from the liver of diseased hybrid sturgeon from Guizhou province, China. Methods Whole-genome sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq 2500-PE125 platform with MPS (massively parallel sequencing) Illumina technology.

Mutation of cyp19a1b results in sterile males due to efferent duct obstruction in Nile tilapia.

The involvement of estrogen in male fertility has been well established in mammals. However, less is known about the role of estrogen in fish male reproduction. Our recent study revealed that Cyp19a1a deficiency had no effect on fertility in male fish.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae).

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of was sequenced. The mitogenome is 16,586 bp in length, composed of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two non-coding regions. The phylogenetic relationship constructed by Bayesian inference (BI) method showed that is not a monophyly, species in the same river express a more close relationship.

Development of a stable Gaussia luciferase enterovirus 71 reporter virus.

We report a stable Gaussia luciferase enterovirus 71 (Gluc-EV71) reporter virus to facilitate drug discovery. The Gluc-EV71 reporter virus was generated by engineering the Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) gene between the 5' untranslated region and VP4 gene of the EV71 genome. We could recover Gluc-EV71 after transfection of Vero cells with the cDNA clone-derived RNA.
