Critical roles of VipB protein on virulence and oxidative stress tolerance in Aeromonas veronii - Haichao Song; Bintong Yang; Yuanhuan Kang; Wei Cong (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2023)
Aeromonas veronii is a zoonotic pathogen capable of causing sepsis and ulceration in freshwater fish. Recently, reports of numerous cases indicate a marked increase in pathogenicity. Nonetheless, little is known about the pathogenesis of A. veronii infections. In this study, an in‐frame mutant of the A. veronii vipB gene was generated to investigate its biological function. Deletion of the vipB gene resulted in a significant 204.71‐fold decrease in the LD 50 of A. veronii against zebrafish and a 2‐fold and 4‐fold reduction in the toxicity to EPC cells at 1 h and 2 h of infection, respectively. The virulence‐related genes of the mutant Δ vipB all showed significantly reduced expression levels compared to the wild strain. In addition, the motility of the mutant Δ vipB decreased significantly, the adhesion ability to EPC cells was 3.25‐fold lower than that of the parental strain, and the oxidative stress tolerance was 2.31‐fold lower than that of TH0426 strain. In contrast, the biofilm formation amount of Δ vipB strain increased by 1.65‐fold at both 12 h and 24 h. Our findings suggest that the vipB gene is associated with flagella stability, virulence, and oxidative stress tolerance and plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of A. veronii infections.

Evenness of soil organic carbon chemical components changes with tree species richness, composition and functional diversity across forests in China - Hui Wang; Yi Ding; Yuguang Zhang; Jingxin Wang; Zachary B. Freedman; Pengcheng Liu; Wei Cong; Jian Wang; Runguo Zang; Shirong Liu (Global Change Biology, 2023)
Higher tree species richness generally increases the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, less attention is paid to the influence of varied tree species composition on SOC storage. Recently, the perspectives for the stronger persistence of SOC caused by the higher molecular diversity of organic compounds were proposed. Therefore, the influences of tree species richness and composition on the molecular diversity of SOC need to be explored. In this study, an index of the evenness of diverse SOC chemical components was proposed to represent the potential resistance of SOC to decomposition under disturbances. Six natural forest types were selected encompassing a diversity gradient, ranging from cold temperate to tropical forests. We examined the correlations of tree species richness, composition, and functional diversity, with the evenness of SOC chemical components at a molecular level by 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance. Across the range, tree species richness correlated to the evenness of SOC chemical components through tree species composition. The negative correlation of evenness of SOC chemical components with tree species composition, and the positive correlation of evenness of SOC chemical components with tree functional diversity were found. These indicate the larger difference in tree species composition and the lower community functional diversity resulted in the higher heterogeneity of SOC chemical components among the communities. The positive correlation of the evenness of SOC chemical components with the important value of indicator tree species, further revealed the specific tree species contributing to the higher evenness of SOC chemical components in each forest type. Soil fungal and bacterial α ‐diversity had effect on the evenness of SOC chemical components. These findings suggest that the indicator tree species conservation might be preferrable to simply increasing tree species richness, for enhancing the potential resistance of SOC to decomposition.

Research on Low-Frequency Vibration Monitoring Sensor Based on a Cantilever-Beam-Structured Triboelectric Nanogenerator - Xiu Xiao; Qunyi Wang; Bohan Yao; Linan Guo; Chuanqing Zhu; Cong Zhao; Ling Liu; Minyi Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Vibration sensing is of great significance in offshore engineering monitoring and safety detection. This paper presented a low-frequency vibration sensor (LV-TENG) based on a cantilever-beam-structured triboelectric nanogenerator, which can perform high-precision vibration sensing while conducting vibration energy collection effectively. The LV-TENG was composed of two aluminum electrode layers, a spring steel sheet covered with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a first-order vibration mode structured frame. Under the excitation of external vibration, the spring steel sheet undergoes first-order modal vibrations between the aluminum electrodes and generates a periodically fluctuating electrical signal in the external circuit. The vibration profile of the cantilever beam was first analyzed theoretically to provide guidance for structural design. On this basis, the influence of the main structural parameters, including the structure of the Al electrode, the thickness of the steel plate, and the electronegative materials, on the output performance of LV-TENG was experimentally investigated and the structure was optimized to enhance electrical output. The results showed that the LV-TENG can accurately sense structure vibration with a frequency of 0.1 Hz to 5.0 Hz and an amplitude of 2.0 mm to 10.0 mm. The measured output voltage followed a positive linear relationship with frequency and the fitted correlation coefficient reached 0.994. The demonstration experiment indicated that the LV-TENG is expected to provide a new avenue for low-frequency vibration monitoring and can be used for structural health monitoring analysis in marine engineering.

Cellular and potential molecular mechanisms underlying transovarial transmission of the obligate symbiont Sulcia in cicadas - Dandan Wang; Hong He; Cong Wei (Environmental Microbiology, 2023)
Vertical transmission of symbionts in insects is critical to persistence of symbioses across host generations. The key time point and related cellular/molecular mechanisms underlying the transmission in most insects remain unclear. Here, we reveal that in the bacteriome–endosymbiont system of the cicada Meimuna mongolica , the obligate symbiont Candidatus Sulcia muelleri (hereafter Sulcia ) proliferates and migrates to the ovaries mainly after the adult emergence of cicadas. Sulcia cells swell to approximately twice their previous size with the outer membrane changed to be more irregular during this process. Almost all the Sulcia genes involved in biosynthesis of essential amino acids, heat shock protein, energy metabolism, DNA replication and repair and protein export were highly expressed in all life stages of cicadas. Among which, genes involved in DNA replication and synthesis of leucine and arginine were upregulated in the newly emerged adults relative to fifth‐instar nymphs. Signal transduction is the pronounced function exhibited in both Sulcia and the cicada bacteriomes in newly emerged adults. The results suggest host sensing of arginine and leucine integrate Sulcia 's output of host‐EAAs into mTORC1 signalling. This study highlights the importance of signalling pathways in regulating the host/symbiont interaction and symbiont transmission in sap‐feeding auchenorrhynchous insects.

GABI‐I : The global ant biodiversity informatics‐island database - Cong Liu; Evan P. Economo; Benoit Guénard (Ecology, 2023)
Island systems are known to harbor disproportionate amounts of geographically restricted biodiversity and to experience high rates of species loss, and they ultimately represent critical systems with significant conservation values. However, knowledge of the biodiversity value of insular systems remains highly fragmented and incomplete for many groups of organisms, especially insects. This gap limits our understanding of their global significance for biodiversity and inhibits prioritization for future exploration and conservation efforts. Here, we developed a new database to present current knowledge on ants on 2678 islands globally, based on nominal species, and provide information on their native or exotic status. In total, this database contains 7010 ant species (44.6% of the known global ant fauna) that have been recorded on islands globally from 449,232 records. In addition, this database identifies 108 large islands (area > 200 km 2 ) that have received no ant sampling efforts globally. This new data set provides the most comprehensive understanding of ant diversity and composition on islands globally, opening up new opportunities to address questions on a multitude of research questions and fields related to biogeography, ecology, and evolution. This data set also provides a roadmap for future exploration and conservation actions in connection with ants on islands as well as overall ant diversity, with updates available as new records and taxonomic updates are published. There are no copyright restrictions on this database and users should cite this data paper in publications when using the data.

A Storage-Saving Quadtree-Based Multibeam Bathymetry Map Representation Method - Zheng Cong; Teng Ma; Ye Li; Mingxiao Yuan; Yu Ling; Haohan Du; Chi Qi; Ziyuan Li; Shuo Xu; Qiang Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
With the rapid advancement of the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology, the collaboration of several autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in large-scale seafloor imaging has become a trending topic. Electromagnetic waves are difficult to transfer underwater, the only viable method of communication is acoustic transmission, but its bandwidth is limited. Therefore, how to compress and process multibeam bathymetry maps so that AUVs can acquire maps gathered by other AUVs has become an important topic of study. This study presents a representation approach for multibeam bathymetry maps based on a quadtree structure. In comparison to the girding approach, the sparse pseudo-input Gaussian processes (SPGPs) method, and the octree-based method, the quadtree-based method suggested in this study preserves precision while compressing storage space. Experiments utilizing field data validate the performance of the proposed technique, and the method’s ability to compress storage space towards an AUV cooperative SLAM’s scenario.

Performance and changes of high‐resolution (1 km) surface air temperature in Northern Hemisphere permafrost regions - Haodong Jin; Xiaoqing Peng; Oliver W. Frauenfeld; Yaohua Zhao; Xuanjia Li; Weiwei Tian; Cong Chen; Benben Liang; Xiaodong Li; Cuicui Mu (International Journal of Climatology, 2023)
Surface air temperatures are significant indicators of environmental and climatic change that affect a diverse set of physical systems including permafrost. Most temperature products, such as gridded or reanalysis data, are still at a relatively low spatial resolution, limiting the ability to simulate heterogeneous permafrost changes and leading to large uncertainties. Here we apply a downscaling method based on elevation to obtain high‐resolution surface air temperatures from the sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project in Northern Hemisphere permafrost regions. Root‐mean‐square errors and mean absolute errors after downscaling are reduced by 34 and 37%, respectively, relative to meteorological site data and gridded observations from the Climatic Research Unit. Compared to the downscaled surface air temperature data, nondownscaled model projections overestimate by 0.12–0.39°C in the discontinuous, isolated, and sporadic permafrost regions and underestimate up to 0.18°C in the continuous permafrost region under different emission scenarios. The warming rates in Northern Hemisphere permafrost regions were 0.093°C/10 year during the historical (1850–2014) period and are projected to be 0.22°C/10 year for SSP1‐2.6, 0.48°C/10 year for SSP2‐4.5, 0.75°C/10 year for SSP3‐7.0, and 0.95°C/10 year for SSP5‐8.5 during 2015–2100, which is 1.4–1.6 times the warming of nonpermafrost regions. Warming rates in high latitudes are 1.2–1.7 times higher than those in high‐elevation regions. Continuous permafrost regions' warming will be 1.2–1.4 times higher than in other permafrost regions. For permafrost with high ground ice content, warming will be 1.1 times greater than in permafrost regions with medium or low ground ice content.

A Hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Framework for Ship-Equipment Suitability Evaluation Using Improved ISM, AHP, and Fuzzy TOPSIS Methods - Cheng Chen; Xiangrui Zhang; Guo Wang; Feng Feng; Cong Sun; Qin He (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The inherent complexity of large ships makes it challenging to evaluate ship designs systematically and scientifically. Knowledge-based expert systems can be reasonable solutions. However, this problem needs more rationality and better operability, especially in complicated ship-equipment suitability evaluation problems with numerous indicators and complex structures. This paper presents a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework to extend the ship-equipment suitability evaluation to group decision-making settings, where individual consistency and group consensus are thoroughly investigated to improve rationality and operability. As a result, an improved Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) method is developed to construct the evaluation index systems. Furthermore, based on an applicability analysis of the selected MCDM methods, an improved Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is proposed to distribute the index weights, and an applicable Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) method is utilized to evaluate and select appropriate ship designs. Finally, a ship-equipment environmental suitability evaluation case is examined. The results indicate that the proposed framework improves the rationality and operability of the decision-making process and provides practical support to decision-makers for the systematic and scientific evaluation of ship designs. Therefore, it can also be applied to other ship design evaluation and selection problems.

Genome-wide identification, structural and evolutionary characteristics, and expression analysis of aquaporin gene family members in Mercenaria mercenaria - Cong Zhou; Zhi-shu Lin; Ying Shi; Jie Feng; Zhi Hu; Mei-jie Yang; Pu Shi; Yong-ren Li; Yong-jun Guo; Tao Zhang; Hao Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Aquaporins (AQPs) are highly-selective transmembrane water transporters that are involved in the adaptation to environmental challenges. However, the structure, function, and evolution of AQPs in bivalves remain largely unknown. In this study, AQP gene family members were identified in nine bivalve species, and their abundance rangs from 7 to 15. Nine AQPs (MmAQPs) were identified in the genome of hard clam ( Mercenaria mercenaria ), which is a euryhaline bivalve that has evolved sophisticated osmoregulatory mechanisms and salinity adaptation. Structurally, all MmAQPs contain 6 or 12 transmembrane α-helices, a major intrinsic protein (MIP) domain, and 2 asparagine-proline-alanine (NPA) motifs. MmAQPs were classified into three subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis: AQP1-like, AQP3-like, and AQP8-like. No AQP11-like subfamily member was identified in the genome of hard clam. Tandem duplication resulted in a lineage-specific expansion in AQP8-like subfamily in hard clams. MmAQP8 genes showed different expression sensitivity to different environmental stressors. The gene expression patterns of three MmAQP8 were similar under heat, hypoxia, and air exposure stress, but differed greatly under salinity stress, indicating that tandem duplication events may accelerate the functional divergence of AQP8 genes in hard clams. AQP3-like members may have undergone gene loss during evolution, resulting in weakened glycerol and urea penetration in hard clams. Three orthologs of MmAQPs were detected in the genomes of Cyclina sinensis and Archivesica marissinica through synteny analyses. Tissue expression profiles showed that MmAQP genes were highly expressed in the foot and hepatopancreas. Under environmental stress, the expression levels of most of the MmAQP genes changed significantly to maintain metabolic homeostasis. Several MmAQP genes were downregulated to reduce water permeability under salinity and air exposure stress. Several MmAQP genes were significantly upregulated to promote the transmembrane transport of ammonia and reactive oxygen species and activate anti-apoptotic responses to resist stress. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the AQP gene family in hard clams, and lays a foundation for further studies to explore the functions of AQPs in bivalves.

Numerical Analysis of Propeller-Induced Hydrodynamic Interaction between Ships - Xueqian Zhou; Cong Liu; Huilong Ren; Chen Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
The hydrodynamic interaction effects between ships are significantly pronounced in restricted waters, and this may potentially threaten the safety of ships, especially given that ship dimensions and waterway traffic have kept increasing. Although there has been a good amount of research on ship hydrodynamic interactions, the study of the effect of the propeller on the ship’s hydrodynamic interaction is very limited. In this paper, a series of RANSE-based numerical simulations are carried out to study the characteristics of the propeller in near-field interaction between ships without speed. The hydrodynamic forces and moment acting on the ship are calculated and analyzed. Through the analysis of the characteristics of the flow field and the behavioral pattern of the hydrodynamic forces, it is found that the propeller has a significant influence on the pressure distribution on the hull as well as on the hydrodynamic interaction forces. The maximum lateral force acting on the interacting ship could reach 0.58 times the standard thrust of a KP458 propeller (the revolution is 594 rpm and the velocity coefficient is 0.25 in open water).

Integrating oculomics with genomics reveals imaging biomarkers for preventive and personalized prediction of arterial aneurysms - Yu Huang; Cong Li; Danli Shi; Huan Wang; Xianwen Shang; Wei Wang; Xueli Zhang; Xiayin Zhang; Yijun Hu; Shulin Tang; Shunming Liu; Songyuan Luo; et al. (EPMA Journal, 2023)
Objective Arterial aneurysms are life-threatening but usually asymptomatic before requiring hospitalization. Oculomics of retinal vascular features (RVFs) extracted from retinal fundus images can reflect systemic vascular properties and therefore were hypothesized to provide valuable information on detecting the risk of aneurysms. By integrating oculomics with genomics, this study aimed to (i) identify predictive RVFs as imaging biomarkers for aneurysms and (ii) evaluate the value of these RVFs in supporting early detection of aneurysms in the context of predictive, preventive and personalized medicine (PPPM). Methods This study involved 51,597 UK Biobank participants who had retinal images available to extract oculomics of RVFs. Phenome-wide association analyses (PheWASs) were conducted to identify RVFs associated with the genetic risks of the main types of aneurysms, including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), thoracic aneurysm (TAA), intracranial aneurysm (ICA) and Marfan syndrome (MFS). An aneurysm-RVF model was then developed to predict future aneurysms. The performance of the model was assessed in both derivation and validation cohorts and was compared with other models employing clinical risk factors. An RVF risk score was derived from our aneurysm-RVF model to identify patients with an increased risk of aneurysms. Results PheWAS identified a total of 32 RVFs that were significantly associated with the genetic risks of aneurysms. Of these, the number of vessels in the optic disc (‘ntreeA’) was associated with both AAA ( β = −0.36, P = 6.75e−10) and ICA ( β = −0.11, P = 5.51e−06). In addition, the mean angles between each artery branch (‘curveangle_mean_a’) were commonly associated with 4 MFS genes ( FBN1 : β = −0.10, P = 1.63e−12; COL16A1 : β = −0.07, P = 3.14e−09; LOC105373592 : β = −0.06, P = 1.89e−05; C8orf81/LOC441376 : β = 0.07, P = 1.02e−05). The developed aneurysm-RVF model showed good discrimination ability in predicting the risks of aneurysms. In the derivation cohort, the C -index of the aneurysm-RVF model was 0.809 [95% CI: 0.780–0.838], which was similar to the clinical risk model (0.806 [0.778–0.834]) but higher than the baseline model (0.739 [0.733–0.746]). Similar performance was observed in the validation cohort, with a C -index of 0.798 (0.727–0.869) for the aneurysm-RVF model, 0.795 (0.718–0.871) for the clinical risk model and 0.719 (0.620–0.816) for the baseline model. An aneurysm risk score was derived from the aneurysm-RVF model for each study participant. The individuals in the upper tertile of the aneurysm risk score had a significantly higher risk of aneurysm compared to those in the lower tertile (hazard ratio = 17.8 [6.5–48.8], P = 1.02e−05). Conclusion We identified a significant association between certain RVFs and the risk of aneurysms and revealed the impressive capability of using RVFs to predict the future risk of aneurysms by a PPPM approach. Our finds have great potential to support not only the predictive diagnosis of aneurysms but also a preventive and more personalized screening plan which may benefit both patients and the healthcare system.

RNA-seq analysis reveals the effect of the metamorphic cue (juvenile oysters) on the Rapana venosa larvae - Mei-Jie Yang; Ying Shi; Zhi-Shu Lin; Pu Shi; Zhi Hu; Cong Zhou; Peng-Peng Hu; Zheng-Lin Yu; Tao Zhang; Hao Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
As a vital developmental event, metamorphosis controls the population dynamics of most marine invertebrates and affects the breeding of economic shellfish. Rapana venosa is an economically important species in China, but artificial aquaculture has hampered its metamorphosis process. Previous studies have found that juvenile oysters can effectively induce the metamorphosis of R. venosa , but the specific induction mechanism is not clear. Here, we investigated the mechanism underlying the response of R. venosa to juvenile oysters through the RNA-seq analysis. In this study, the gene set responses to metamorphosis cues (juvenile oysters) in R. venosa were identified, and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were further performed on these gene sets. The results showed that the expression of the prototype of the class of immediate early genes, the transcription factor AP-1, was rapidly and significantly increased, and the molecular chaperone of NOS, HSP90, exhibited lower expression in the M12 group than in the control group. In contrast, the expression of inhibitors of apoptosis (IAPs) was significantly increased upon exposure to juvenile oysters. Additionally, the Wnt signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway were enriched in the trend analysis. These pathways may also play critical regulatory roles in the response to juvenile oysters. Taken together, the results show that competent larvae rapidly respond to the inducing effects of oysters via some immediate early genes, such as the transcription factor AP-1, which may further regulate downstream pathways such as the MAPK signaling pathway to cause subsequent changes, including a decrease in HSP90 and an increase in IAPs. These changes together may regulate the metamorphosis of R. venosa . This study provides further evidence that juvenile oysters are the metamorphosis cues of R. venosa , which may enhance our understanding of the metamorphosis mechanism in this marine invertebrate.
