Genome-wide analysis reveals the contributors to fast molecular evolution of the Chinese hook snout carp ().

Variations in molecular evolutionary rate have been widely investigated among lineages and genes. However, it remains an open question whether fast rate of molecular evolution is driven by natural selection or random drift, and how the fast rate is linked to metabolic rate. Additionally, previous studies on fast molecular evolution have been largely restricted to concatenated matrix of genes or a few specifically selected genes, but less is known for individual genes at the genome-wide level.

Dissolved organic matter, calcium ion and extracellular polymeric substances on living associated bacteria of Microcystis colony are crucial for unicellular Microcystis to efficiently form colonies.

Microcystis typically forms colonies under natural conditions, which contributes to occurrence and prevalence of algal blooms. The colonies consist of Microcystis and associated bacteria (AB), embedded in extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Previous studies indicate that AB can induce Microcystis to form colonies, however the efficiency is generally low and results in a uniform morphotype.

Spatial and diel variations of bacterioplankton and pico-nanoeukaryote communities and potential biotic interactions during macroalgal blooms.

We investigated spatial heterogeneity and diel variations in bacterioplankton and pico-nanoeukaryote communities, and potential biotic interactions at the extinction stage of the Ulva prolifera bloom in the Jiaozhou Bay, Yellow Sea. It was found that the presence of Ulva canopies significantly promoted the cell abundance of heterotrophic bacteria, raised evenness, and altered the community structure of bacterioplankton. A diel pattern was solely significant for pico-nanoeukaryote community structure.

Research on the Artemia nauplii microorganism compositions based on metagenomics next-generation sequencing.

Vibrio species represent the predominant and significant pathogen in global marine fish and shellfish aquaculture. Vibrio species are ubiquitously presented in Artemia cyst hatcheries, and their notable colonization in live prey, particularly Artemia nauplii, leads to the transmission of these pathogens into the digestive system of larval organisms, causing serious problems in Vibriosis in marine aquaculture. To eliminate the Vibriospecies in Artemia nauplii, trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) was used for sterilization of the nauplii.

Bile acid and short chain fatty acid metabolism of gut microbiota mediate high-fat diet induced intestinal barrier damage in Macrobrachium rosenbergii.

The limited tolerance of crustacean tissue physiology to a high-fat diet has captured the attention of researchers. Yet, investigations into the physiological response mechanisms of the crustacean intestinal barrier system to a high-fat diet are progressing slowly. Elucidating potential physiological mechanisms and determining the precise regulatory targets would be of great physiological and nutritional significance.

Bioaccumulation and thyroid endcrione disruption of 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate at environmental concentration in zebrafish larvae.

2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP) strongly binds to transthyretin (TTR) and affects the expression of genes involved in the thyroid hormone (TH) pathway in vitro. However, it is still unknown whether EHDPP induces endocrine disruption of THs in vivo.
