The migratory locust is one of the most notorious agricultural pests that undergo a well known reversible, density-dependent phase transition from solitary to gregarious. To demonstrate underlying molecular mechanisms change, we generated 76,012 ESTs whole body and dissected organs in two phases. Comparing 12,161 unigene clusters, identified 532 genes as phase-related ( P < 0.01). Comprehensive assessment expression revealed that, whereas various categories hind legs midgut are...
The ovariectomized (OVX) Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rat fed a low-salt diet is model of postmenopausal hypertension. In addition to estrogen loss, aging can also contribute We hypothesized that: (1) female DS rats on become hypertensive with age; (2) ovariectomy accelerates age-dependent hypertension in the caused by depletion; and (3) this correlates increased type 1 angiotensin receptor (AT R) number (Bmax). Blood pressure was monitored telemetry from 3 12 months AT R Bmax determined...
Sex differences in mean arterial pressure (MAP) are reported many experimental models of hypertension and ascribed to gonadal sex based on studies showing that gonadectomy hormone replacement affect MAP. The interpretation these studies, however, has been confounded by the chromosome complement (XX versus XY). To investigate independent sex, we used 4 core genotype mouse model which is separated from enabling comparisons among XX XY females males. We found that, gonadectomized (GDX)...
Novosphingobium pentaromativorans US6-1, a marine bacterium isolated from muddy sediments of Ulsan Bay, Republic Korea, was previously shown to be capable degrading multiple polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In order gain insight into the characteristics PAHs degradation, proteome analysis N. US6-1 exposed phenanthrene, pyrene, and benzo[a]pyrene conducted. Several enzymes associated with degradation were identified, including 4-hydroxybenzoate 3-monooxygenase, salicylaldehyde...
In recent years, Microcystis aeruginosa blooms have occurred throughout the world, causing huge economic losses and destroying aquatic ecosystems. It is necessary to develop effective ecofriendly methods control M. blooms. Here, we report a high algicidal activity of prodigiosin (PG) against as well mechanism. PG showed aeruginosa, with 50% lethal dose (LD50) 5.87 μg/mL in 72 h. A combination methods, including propidium iodide Annexin V-fluorescein staining assays light electron microscopy...
Abstract To assess biofilm formation ability and identify differences in the prevalence of genes involved among Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from different food samples, 97 S. was evaluated using a colorimetric microtiter plate assay. Thirteen encoding microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules, intracellular adhesion were detected by PCR specific primers. Approximately 72% isolates produced biofilms. Among these isolates, 54.64% weak producers, while 14.43%...
Abstract Chitinase producing bacteria can involve extensively in nutrient cycling and energy flow the aquatic environment through degradation utilization of chitin. It is well known that diatoms cells are encased by box-like frustules composed Thus chitin containing shall be a natural target chitinase bacteria, however, interaction between these two organismic groups has not been studied thus far. Therefore, this study, algicidal mechanism one bacterium (strain LY03) on Thalassiosira...
Abstract Background Given the lack of genetic background, source tracking unknown individuals fish species with both farmed and wild populations often cannot be robustly achieved. The gut microbiome, which is shaped by deterministic stochastic processes, can serve as a molecular marker host tracking, particularly an alternative to yet-to-be-established marker. A candidate for testing feasibility large yellow croaker, Larimichthys crocea , carnivorous ranks top mariculture in China. Wild...
Harmful algal blooms occur all over the world, destroying aquatic ecosystems and threatening other organisms. The culture supernatant of marine algicidal actinomycete BS01 was able to lysis dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense ATGD98-006. Physiological biochemical responses oxidative stress in A. were investigated elucidate mechanism involved inhibition growth. Transmission electron microscope analysis revealed that there some chloroplast abnormalities response supernatant. decrease...
Phaeocystis globosa blooms can have negative effects on higher trophic levels in the marine ecosystem and consequently influence human activities. Strain KA22, identified as bacterium Hahella, was isolated from coastal surface water used to control P. growth. A methanol extract bacterial cells showed strong algicidal activity. After purification, compound a similar structure prodigiosin when with Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. The activity against 50% Lethal Dose...
Application of algicidal compounds secreted by bacteria is a promising and environmentally friendly strategy to control harmful algal blooms (HABs). Years ago prodigiosin was described as an efficient compound, but the details about effect on cells are still elusive. Prodigiosin shows high activity Phaeocystis globosa, making it potential algicide in HAB control. When P. globosa were treated with at 5 μg/mL, algae showed cytoplasmic hypervacuolization, chloroplast nucleus rupture, flagella...
Abstract Background The Rhododendron sanguineum complex is endemic to alpine mountains of northwest Yunnan and southeast Tibet China. Varieties in this exhibit distinct flower colors even at the bud stage. However, underlying molecular regulations for color variation have not been well characterized. Here, we investigated via measuring reflectance profiles comparative transcriptome analyses on three coexisting varieties R. complex, with yellow flush pink, bright crimson, deep blackish...
Abstract. Two of the most highly recognized factors implicated in pathogenesis hypertension, atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure and associated cardiovascular disease are renin angiotensin system (RAS) estrogen. A major effect estrogen results from its influence on RAS. β-estradiol (E2) replacement ovariectomized (OVX) rats significantly decreased type 1 (AT1) receptor expression pituitary adrenal, whereas it increased uterus when compared to OVX controls. Additional evidence...
Renal injury is greater in male compared with female rats after renal wrap (RW) hypertension. We investigated the role of gonadal steroids sex differences RW disease severity (M) and (F), castrated (Cast), ovariectomized (OVX) dihydrotestosterone (DHT) 17beta-estradiol (E2) treatment. Male castration attenuated RW-induced glomerulosclerosis (GS) [GS index (GSI): RW-M, 2.1 +/- 0.2; RW-Cast, 1.3 RW-Cast+DHT, 2.4 0.4], mean glomerular volume (MGV; microm3 x 10(6): 1.9 0.1; 1.45 0.15; 1.91...
