The Mariana Trench is the deepest known site in Earth's oceans, reaching a depth of ~ 11,000 m at Challenger Deep. Recent studies reveal that hadal waters harbor distinctive microbial planktonic communities. However, genetic potential communities within zone poorly understood. Here, implementing both culture-dependent and culture-independent methods, we perform extensive analysis populations their different depths Trench. Unexpectedly, observed an abrupt increase abundance...
Bacterial communities are called another "organ" for aquatic animals and their important influence on the health of host has drawn increasing attention. Thus, it is to study relationships between bacterial communities. Here, associated with Litopenaeus vannamei larvae at different healthy statuses (diseased healthy) growth stages (i.e. zoea, mysis early postlarvae periods) were examined using 454-pyrosequencing 16S rRNA gene. significant difference observed diseased rearing water, several...
Vibrios are among the most diverse and ecologically important marine bacteria, which have evolved many characteristics lifestyles to occupy various niches. The relationship between genome features environmental adaptation strategies is an essential part for understanding ecological functions of vibrios in system. advent complete sequencing technology has provided method examining genetic on genomic level. Two Vibrio genomes were sequenced found unique orthologues families absent from...
ABSTRACT Background Excessive lipogenesis of the skin triggers some dermatological concerns, such as enlarged pores, acne, and blackheads. Although topical drug treatments can offer temporary relief, their prolonged usage may lead to side effects dryness, irritation, or allergic reactions. Consequently, development safer efficacious ingredients in cosmetics for managing sebum overproduction represents a significant yet challenging endeavor. Aim Saponins were extracted from tea ( Camellia...
Quorum sensing (QS) is a population-dependent mechanism for bacteria to synchronize social behaviors such as secretion of virulence factors. The enzymatic interruption QS, termed quorum quenching (QQ), has been suggested promising alternative anti-virulence approach. In order efficiently identify QQ bacteria, we developed simple, sensitive and high-throughput method based on the biosensor Agrobacterium tumefaciens A136. This effectively eliminates false positives caused by inhibition growth...
DNA barcoding has been proposed as a useful tool for forensic wood identification and development of reliable reference library is an essential first step. Xylaria (wood collections) are potentially enormous data repositories if information could be extracted from specimens. In this study, 31 xylarium specimens 8 leaf six important commercial species Pterocarpus were selected to investigate the reliability barcodes authentication at level determine feasibility building barcode libraries Four...
Abstract Three anthocyanin regulatory genes of maize (Zea mays; Lc, B-Peru, and C1) were introduced into alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in a strategy designed to stimulate the flavonoid pathway alter composition flavonoids produced forage. Lc constructs included full-length gene with shortened 5′-untranslated region. RNA was strongly expressed transgenic foliage, but accumulation red-purple observed only under conditions high light intensity or low temperature. These stress induced chalcone...
Polysaccharide is efficient in attenuation of metabolic ailments and modulation gut microbiota as prebiotics. The therapeutic effect Inonotus obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) on chronic pancreatitis (CP) mice has been validated our previous study. However, it not clear whether IOP conducive to maintaining the homeostasis between host. aim this study testify potential effects composition diversity with CP. changes glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), total antioxidant capacity (TAOC), tumor necrosis...
The R2R3 MYB genes associated with the flavonoid/anthocyanidin pathway feature two repeats, and represent most abundant classes of in plants; however, physiological role regulatory function MYBs remain poorly understood kiwifruit (Actinidia). Here, genome-wide analysis identified 155 R2R3-MYBs 'Red 5' version Actinidia chinensis genome. Out 36 anthocyanin-related AccR2R3-MYBs, AcMYB10 was highly expressed inner pericarp red-fleshed kiwifruit. expression correlated anthocyanin accumulation...
Abstract This study investigated the flavonoid compounds in Actinidia chinensis and arguta fruits. A total of 125 flavonoids, including 9 anthocyanins, 12 catechins, 17 flavanones, 48 flavones (including 14 flavone C-glycosides), 29 flavonols, 6 isoflavones, 4 proanthocyanidins, were identified “Hongyang” kiwifruit (red flesh), “Jintao” kiwifruit, “Mini Amethyst” kiwiberry (purple “Kuilv” kiwiberry. Thirty-nine metabolites showed significantly different contents between “Jintao,” 38 them...
<title>Abstract</title> Background The detrimental impacts of childbirth and other factors on pelvic floor muscle strength compromise women's physiological psychological well-being, specialists have yet to achieve consensus regarding the effects various delivery methods strength. This article examines impact procedures during early postpartum phase. Methods A total 1154 women who delivered in Department Obstetrics Gynecology at Zhongshan Hospital, Dalian University, underwent surface...
Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra JG1 produces a protein PfaP and range of small-molecule compounds with inhibitory activities against Vibrio anguillarum. The was purified from the extracellular products by electroelution, antibacterial activity observed an in-gel assay. complete amino acid sequence (694 aa) determined de novo peptide sequencing subsequent alignment proteome strain JG1. calculated molecular mass 77.0 kDa. 58 % identical to l-lysine oxidase AlpP tunicata D2, 54 marinocine...
The response of Camelina sativa to salt stress was examined. Salt reduced shoot, but not root length. Root and shoot weight were affected by salt, as photosynthetic capacity. did alter micro-element concentration in shoots, increased macro-element (Ca Mg) levels. Gene expression patterns shoots indicated that may have led shuttling Na
The microbial cycling of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and its gaseous catabolites dimethylsulfide (DMS) methanethiol (MeSH) are important processes in the global sulfur cycle, marine food webs, signaling pathways, atmospheric chemistry, potentially climate regulation. Many functional genes have been identified used to study genetic potential microbes produce catabolize these organosulfur compounds different environments. Here, we sampled seawater, sediment hydrothermal sediment,...
Abstract California poppy (Eschscholzia californicaCham.) cell cultures produce several benzophenanthridine alkaloids, such as sanguinarine, chelirubine, and macarpine, with potent pharmacological activity. Antisense constructs of genes encoding two enzymes involved in alkaloid biosynthesis, the berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) N-methylcoclaurine 3′-hydroxylase (CYP80B1), were introduced separately into cultures. Transformed lines expressing antisenseBBE or antisense CYP80B1 displaying low...
