MIBiG 4.0: advancing biosynthetic gene cluster curation through global collaboration.

Specialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To share information about BGCs in a standardized and machine-readable way, the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard and repository was initiated in 2015.

Transcriptome Profile and Gene Expression During Different Ovarian Maturation Stages of (De Man, 1879).

, or giant river prawn, is the most economically crucial cultured freshwater crustacean. A predominant challenge in developing crustacean aquaculture is reproduction management, particularly ovary maturation, where identifying regulative mechanisms at the molecular level is critical. Ovary is the primary tissue for studying gene and protein expressions involved in crustacean growth and reproduction.

A novel stepwise salinity acclimation method to improve the survival of freshwater microalgae Haematococcus lacustris in seawater salinity.

Freshwater microalga Haematococcus lacustris rich in astaxanthin, as a supplemental live diet can directly supply natural astaxanthin to the aquaculture organisms, except marine aquaculture organisms, since H. lacustris cannot tolerate seawater salinity. The objective of the present study is to provide a salinity acclimation method that allows H.

The mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene cloned from Exopalaemon carinicauda plays a key role in resisting infection by Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a vital member of the lectin family, crucial for mediating functions within the complement lectin pathway. In this study, following the cloning of the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) gene in the ridgetail white prawn, Exopalaemon carinicauda, we examined its expression patterns across various tissues and its role in combating challenges posed by Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The results revealed that the MBL gene spans 1342 bp, featuring an open reading frame of 972 bp.

Neurotrophin-3 Facilitates Stemness Properties and Associates with Poor Survival in Lung Cancer.

Introduction: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) shape the tumor microenvironment via neuroendocrine signaling and orchestrate drug resistance and metastasis. Cytokine antibody array demonstrated the upregulation of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) in lung CSCs. This study aims to dissect the role of NT-3 in lung CSCs during tumor innervation.

Unveiling the role of novel carbohydrate-binding modules in laminarin interaction of multimodular proteins from marine Bacteroidota during phytoplankton blooms.

Laminarin, a β(1,3)-glucan, serves as a storage polysaccharide in marine microalgae such as diatoms. Its abundance, water solubility and simple structure make it an appealing substrate for marine bacteria. Consequently, many marine bacteria have evolved strategies to scavenge and decompose laminarin, employing carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) as crucial components.

Alpha-glucans from bacterial necromass indicate an intra-population loop within the marine carbon cycle.

Phytoplankton blooms provoke bacterioplankton blooms, from which bacterial biomass (necromass) is released via increased zooplankton grazing and viral lysis. While bacterial consumption of algal biomass during blooms is well-studied, little is known about the concurrent recycling of these substantial amounts of bacterial necromass. We demonstrate that bacterial biomass, such as bacterial alpha-glucan storage polysaccharides, generated from the consumption of algal organic matter, is reused and thus itself a major bacterial carbon source in vitro and during a diatom-dominated bloom.

Proteomic profiling of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli GW-AmxH19 isolated from hospital wastewater treated with physical plasma.

Microorganisms which are resistant to antibiotics are a global threat to the health of humans and animals. Wastewater treatment plants are known hotspots for the dissemination of antibiotic resistances. Therefore, novel methods for the inactivation of pathogens, and in particular antibiotic-resistant microorganisms (ARM), are of increasing interest.

Marine particle microbiomes during a spring diatom bloom contain active sulfate-reducing bacteria.

Phytoplankton blooms fuel marine food webs with labile dissolved carbon and also lead to the formation of particulate organic matter composed of living and dead algal cells. These particles contribute to carbon sequestration and are sites of intense algal-bacterial interactions, providing diverse niches for microbes to thrive. We analyzed 16S and 18S ribosomal RNA gene amplicon sequences obtained from 51 time points and metaproteomes from 3 time points during a spring phytoplankton bloom in a shallow location (6-10 m depth) in the North Sea.

Morinda citrifolia fruit extract enhances the resistance of Penaeus vannamei to Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium implicated as the causative agent of several shrimp diseases. As part of the effort to provide biocontrol and cost-effective treatments, this research was designed to elucidate the effect of Morinda citrifolia fruit extract on the immunity of Penaeus vannamei postlarvae (PL) to V. parahaemolyticus.

Hoven's carp strategized metabolism needs to cope with changing environment.

Current water warming and freshwater acidification undoubtedly affect the life of aquatic animals especially ammonotelic teleost by altering their physiological responses. The effect of temperature (28 °C vs 32 °C) and pH (7 vs. 5) on the metabolic compromising strategies of Hoven's carp () was investigated in this study.

Comparative putative metabolites profiling of Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda hemocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide.

Horseshoe crabs are among the most studied invertebrates due to their unique, innate immune system and biological processes. The metabolomics study was conducted on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated and non-stimulated hemocytes isolated from the Malaysian Tachypleus gigas and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda. LC-TOF-MS, multivariate analyses, principal component analysis (PCA), and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were included in this study to profile the metabolites.

Female tilapia, Oreochromis sp. mobilised energy differently for growth and reproduction according to living environment.

This study was conducted to investigate the energy mobilisation preference and ionoregulation pattern of female tilapia, Oreochromis sp. living in different environments. Three different treatments of tilapia as physiology compromising model were compared; tilapia cultured in recirculating aquaculture system (RAS as Treatment I-RAS), tilapia cultured in open water cage (Treatment II-Cage) and tilapia transferred from cage and cultured in RAS (Treatment III-Compensation).

TGFβ1 induces CXCL1 to promote stemness features in lung cancer.

Chemokines critically orchestrate the tumorigenesis, metastasis, and stemness features of cancer cells that lead to poor outcomes. High plasma levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) correlate with poor prognostic features in advanced lung cancer patients, thus suggesting the importance of TGFβ1 in the lung tumor microenvironment. However, the role of chemokines in TGFβ1-induced tumor stemness features remains unclear.
