As largely documented in the literature, the stark restrictions enforced worldwide in 2020 to curb the COVID-19 pandemic also curtailed the production of air pollutants to some extent. This study investigates the perception of the air pollution as assessed by individuals located in ten countries: Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, India, Iran, Italy, Norway, South Africa and the USA. The perceptions towards air quality were evaluated by employing an online survey administered in May 2020. Participants ( N = 9394) in the ten countries expressed their opinions according to a Likert-scale response. A reduction in pollutant concentration was clearly perceived, albeit to a different extent, by all populations. The survey participants located in India and Italy perceived the largest drop in the air pollution concentration; conversely, the smallest variation was perceived among Chinese and Norwegian respondents. Among all the demographic indicators considered, only gender proved to be statistically significant.

Endosomal sorting complexes required for transport‐0 ( ESCRT ‐0) are essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, autophagy and ER ‐phagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Li‐Xiao Sun; Hui Qian; Meng‐Yu Liu; Ming‐Hua Wu; Yun‐Yun Wei; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Magnaporthe oryzae is an important plant pathogen that causes rice blast. Hse1 and Vps27 are components of ESCRT‐0 involved in the multivesicular body (MVB) sorting pathway and biogenesis. To date, the biological functions of ESCRT‐0 in M. oryzae have not been determined. In this study, we identified and characterized Hse1 and Vps27 in M. oryzae . Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 caused pleiotropic defects in growth, conidiation, sexual development and pathogenicity, thereby resulting in loss of virulence in rice and barley leaves. Disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 triggered increased lipidation of MoAtg8 and degradation of GFP‐MoAtg8, indicating that ESCRT‐0 is involved in the regulation of autophagy. ESCRT‐0 was determined to interact with coat protein complex II (COPII), a regulator functioning in homeostasis of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER homeostasis), and disruption of MoHse1 and MoVps27 also blocked activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and autophagy of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER‐phagy). Overall, our results indicate that ESCRT‐0 plays critical roles in regulating fungal development, virulence, autophagy and ER‐phagy in M. oryzae .

Prevalence, complete genome, and metabolic potentials of a phylogenetically novel cyanobacterial symbiont in the coral‐killing sponge, Terpios hoshinota - Yu‐Hsiang Chen; Hsing‐Ju Chen; Cheng‐Yu Yang; Jia‐Ho Shiu; Daphne Z. Hoh; Pei‐Wen Chiang; Wenhua Savanna Chow; Chaolun Allen Chen; Tin‐Han Shih; Szu‐Hsien Lin; Chi‐Ming Yang; James Davis Reimer; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Terpios hoshinota is an aggressive, space‐competing sponge that kills various stony corals. Outbreaks of this species have led to intense damage to coral reefs in many locations. Here, the first large‐scale 16S rRNA gene survey across three oceans revealed that bacteria related to the taxa Prochloron , Endozoicomonas , SAR116, Ruegeria , and unclassified Proteobacteria were prevalent in T . hoshinota . A Prochloron ‐related bacterium was the most dominant and prevalent cyanobacterium in T . hoshinota . The complete genome of this uncultivated cyanobacterium and pigment analysis demonstrated that it has phycobiliproteins and lacks chlorophyll b , which is inconsistent with the definition of Prochloron . Furthermore, the cyanobacterium was phylogenetically distinct from Prochloron , strongly suggesting that it should be a sister taxon to Prochloron . Therefore, we proposed this symbiotic cyanobacterium as a novel species under the new genus Candidatus Paraprochloron terpiosi. Comparative genomic analyses revealed that ‘Paraprochloron’ and Prochloron exhibit distinct genomic features and DNA replication machinery. We also characterized the metabolic potentials of ‘Paraprochloron terpiosi’ in carbon and nitrogen cycling and propose a model for interactions between it and T. hoshinota . This study builds a foundation for the study of the T . hoshinota microbiome and paves the way for better understanding of ecosystems involving this coral‐killing sponge.

Discerning the Putative U and V Chromosomes of Saccharina japonica (Phaeophyta) by Cytogenetic Mapping of Sex-Linked Molecular Markers - Yu Du; Peng-Fei Liu; Zhi Li; Qian Zheng; Yan-Hui Bi; Zhi-Gang Zhou (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Saccharina japonica , an importantly industrial species in brown seaweeds, has a typical alternate life history of heteromorphic generations and UV sex determination system. But up to now, the sex chromosomes, U and V, in this kelp remain to be evidenced cytologically. In the present study, the female-linked (SJ-f_000170 and MSj68-58-2) and male-linked (SJ-13_001840 and MSj68-16-2) molecular markers developed on the basis of Ectocarpus sex-determining regions (SDRs) were selected after PCR amplification and Southern blotting analysis. Mono-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to the kelp metaphase chromosomes with each of these confirmed sex-linked markers as a probe indicated that the hybridization signals were confined to either female or male gametophytes exclusively. The shape and size of hybridized chromosomes and the relative location of these sex-linked markers on them suggested that the marked chromosomes in a sex were the same, which was further confirmed by dual-color FISH observations. SJ-f_000170 and SJ-13_001840, corresponding to each sex, were therefore used to map the sporophyte metaphase chromosomes by dual-color FISH technique, and they were hybridized on different chromosomes as expected. The sporophyte metaphase chromosomes as hybridized by SJ-f_000170 and SJ-13_001840 resembled those in either female or male gametophytes, suggesting that they were the putative U and V, respectively, chromosomes in S . japonica . To further demonstrate the reliability of this inference, genomic information of the screened bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones carrying two female-linked markers, for example, from the constructed BAC libraries of the kelp female gametophytes was provided. The insert sequencing of two selected BAC clones revealed that repetitive elements were rich whereas gene density was poor, which was characterized as non-recombining SDR sequences in brown seaweed Ectocarpus sp. and liverwort Marchantia polymorpha . The present study laid a solid foundation for unveiling the mystery of S . japonica sex chromosomes.

The Hong Kong oyster Magallana hongkongensis, previously known as Crassostrea hongkongensis, is a true oyster species native to the estuarine-coast of the Pearl River Delta in southern China. The species—with scientific, ecological, cultural, and nutritional importance—has been farmed for hundreds of years. However, there is only limited information on its genetics, stress adaptation mechanisms, and gut microbiota, restricting the sustainable production and use of oyster resources. Here, we present population structure analysis on M. hongkongensis oysters collected from Deep Bay and Lantau Island in Hong Kong, as well as transcriptome analysis on heat shock responses and the gut microbiota profile of M. hongkongensis oysters collected from Deep Bay. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including those on the homeobox genes and heat shock protein genes, were revealed by the whole genome resequencing. Transcriptomes of oysters incubated at 25 °C and 32 °C for 24 h were sequenced which revealed the heat-induced regulation of heat shock protein pathway genes. Furthermore, the gut microbe community was detected by 16S rRNA sequencing which identified Cyanobacteria, Proteobacteria and Spirochaetes as the most abundant phyla. This study reveals the molecular basis for the adaptation of the oyster M. hongkongensis to environmental conditions.

New Insight Into the Mechanism of Ecological Effects of Artificial Habitats: Elucidating the Relationship Between Protists Associated With Artificial Reefs and Adjacent Seawater - Ruolin Li; Yu Guo; Chuanxin Qin; Shuo Zhang; Dongping Ji; Hui Zhang; Jing Wang; Naiqian Zhao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Artificial habitat deployment can restore natural habitats or supplement existing natural habitats. The effect of resource proliferation and protection is obvious. However, few reports have addressed the biological community association between artificial habitats and adjacent environments. Here, Illumina sequencing of 18S rDNA was performed, and the diversity, community structure, and co-occurrence networks of protists in different layers of artificial reefs (ARs) and adjacent seawater (WAR) were described to verify that constructing ARs in Bailong Pearl Bay improves local spatial heterogeneity and functional diversity. In terms of the degree of species interaction, the protist communities were ranked as follows: surface and bottom of WAR > ARs and WAR > different layers of ARs. The α-diversity of protists associated with ARs and WAR decreased with an increase in depth. Protist diversity was greater in WAR than in ARs. β-Diversity analysis revealed significant differences in protist community structure between WAR and ARs ( P < 0.05), and the upper layers of ARs and the middle or bottom layers of ARs differed. The key topological features of protist networks showed more positive interspecific interactions in the AR-associated protist community, a higher degree of niche differentiation, and higher complexity and stability. The keystone protists in the bottom seawater layer displayed community functions that were biased toward initial fixation in the ocean carbon cycle. The AR-associated protist community tended to participate in carbon transfer in the food chain and decomposition and utilization of dissolved organic matter (DOM). This study revealed significant differences in protist community structure between ARs and the adjacent environment, and the ecological functions of the key phyla were found to be related. In conclusion, protist communities in WAR may provide food sources for AR-associated heterotrophic protists. A variety of key phyla associated with ARs have biological roles in the carbon pump via their ecological characteristics.

Essential Role of Sptan1 in Cochlear Hair Cell Morphology and Function Via Focal Adhesion Signaling - Qingxiu Yao; Hui Wang; Hengchao Chen; Zhuangzhuang Li; Yumeng Jiang; Zhipeng Li; Jiping Wang; Yazhi Xing; Feng Liu; Dongzhen Yu; Shankai Yin (Molecular Neurobiology, 2022)
Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Hearing relies on stereocilia, inserted into the cuticular plate of hair cells (HCs), where they play an important role in the perception of sound and its transmission. Although numerous genes have been associated with hearing loss, the function of many hair cell genes has yet to be elucidated. Herein, we focused on nonerythroid spectrin αII (SPTAN1), abundant in the cuticular plate, surrounding the rootlets of stereocilia and along the plasma membrane. Interestingly, mice with HC-specific Sptan1 knockout exhibited rapid deafness, abnormal formation of stereocilia and cuticular plates, and loss of HCs from middle and apical turns of the cochlea during early postnatal stages. Additionally, Sptan1 deficiency led to the decreased spreading of House Ear Institute-Organ of Corti 1 cells, and induced abnormal formation of focal adhesions and integrin signaling in mouse HCs. Altogether, our findings highlight SPTAN1 as a critical molecule for HC stereocilia morphology and auditory function via regulation of focal adhesion signaling.

Not out of the woods yet: Signatures of the prolonged negative genetic consequences of a population bottleneck in a rapidly re‐expanding wader, the black‐faced spoonbill Platalea minor - Shou‐Hsien Li; Yang Liu; Chia‐Fen Yeh; Yuchen Fu; Carol K. L. Yeung; Chun‐Cheng Lee; Chi‐Cheng Chiu; Tung Hui Kuo; Fang‐Tse Chan; Yu‐Chia Chen; Wen‐Ya Ko; Cheng‐Te Yao (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
The long‐term persistence of a population which has suffered a bottleneck partly depends on how historical demographic dynamics impacted its genetic diversity and the accumulation of deleterious mutations. Here we provide genomic evidence for the genetic effect of a recent population bottleneck in the endangered black‐faced spoonbill ( Platalea minor ) after its rapid population recovery. Our data suggest that the bird's effective population size, N e , had been relatively stable (7500–9000) since 22,000 years ago; however, a recent brief yet severe bottleneck ( N e = 20) which we here estimated to occur around the 1940s wiped out >99% of its historical N e in roughly three generations. Despite a >15‐fold population recovery since 1988, we found that black‐faced spoonbill population has higher levels of inbreeding (7.4 times more runs of homozygosity) than its sister species, the royal spoonbill ( P. regia ), which is not thought to have undergone a marked population contraction. Although the two spoonbills have similar levels of genome‐wide genetic diversity, our results suggest that selection on more genes was relaxed in the black‐faced spoonbill; moreover individual black‐faced spoonbills carry more putatively deleterious mutations (Grantham's score > 50), and may therefore express more deleterious phenotypic effects than royal spoonbills. Here we demonstrate the value of using genomic indices to monitor levels of genetic erosion, inbreeding and mutation load in species with conservation concerns. To mitigate the prolonged negative genetic effect of a population bottleneck, we recommend that all possible measures should be employed to maintain population growth of a threatened species.

Biogeography of culturable marine bacteria from both poles reveals that ‘everything is not everywhere’ at the genomic level - Qi‐Long Qin; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Qian‐Qian Cha; Sha‐Sha Liu; Xue‐Bing Ren; Hui‐Hui Fu; Mei‐Ling Sun; Dian‐Li Zhao; Andrew McMinn; Yin Chen; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yu‐Zhong Zhang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Based on 16S rRNA gene analyses, the same bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) are common to both the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, supporting the concept ‘everything is everywhere’. However, whether the same OTUs from both poles have identical genomes, i.e. whether ‘everything is still everywhere’ at the genomic level has not yet been examined systematically. Here, we isolated, sequenced and compared the genomes of 45 culturable marine bacteria belonging to three genera of Salinibacterium , Psychrobacter and Pseudoalteromonas from both polar oceans. The bacterial strains with identical 16S rRNA genes were common to both poles in every genus, and four identical genomes were detected in the genus Salinibacterium from the Arctic region. However, no identical genomes were observed from opposite poles in this study. Our data, therefore, suggest that ‘everything is not everywhere’ at the genomic level. The divergence time between bacteria is hypothesized to exert a strong impact on the bacterial biogeography at the genomic level. The geographical isolation between poles was observed for recently diverged, highly similar genomes, but not for moderately similar genomes. This study thus improves our understanding of the factors affecting the genomic‐level biogeography of marine microorganisms isolated from distant locations.

Evaluating the Spring-Neap Tidal Effects on Chlorophyll-a Variations Based on the Geostationary Satellite - Qinwang Xing; Huaming Yu; Haiqing Yu; Hui Wang; Shin-ichi Ito; Chunxin Yuan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Tides are the dominant hydrodynamic processes in most continental shelf seas and have been proven to have a significant impact on both marine ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. In situ and satellite observations have suggested that the spring-neap tide results in fluctuations of chlorophyll- a concentrations (Chl- a ) with a fortnightly period in some shelf waters. However, a large number of missing values and low observation frequency in satellite-observed Chl- a have been recognized as the major obstacle to investigating the regional pattern showing where and to what extent of the effects of spring-neap tide on Chl- a and the seasonal variations in the effects within a relatively large region. Taking Himawari-8 as an example, a simple algorithm appropriate for geostationary satellites was proposed in this study with the purpose of obtaining a tide-related daily climatological Chl- a dataset (TDCD) and to quantitatively estimate the effects of the spring-neap tide on Chl- a variations. Based on the Chl- a time series from TDCD, significant fortnightly signals of Chl- a fluctuations and high contribution together with high explanations of the fortnightly fluctuations for Chl- a variations were found in some specific inshore waters, especially in the East China Sea, Bay of Bengal, South China Sea, and northern Australian waters. The spring-neap tide was found able to induce the spatio-temporal fortnightly fluctuations of Chl- a with an annual amplitude of 12–33% of the mean in these inshore areas. Significant seasonal variations in the fortnightly fluctuation of Chl- a were observed in the temperate continental shelf regions, while levels remained relatively stable in the tropical waters. Further analysis implied that the spatio-temporal fortnightly fluctuations of Chl- a were closely associated with the tidal current differences between the spring and neap tides. Seasonal variations in the tidal current differences were found to be a key driving factor for seasonal fluctuations of the spring-neap tidal effects on Chl- a in the temperate continental shelf regions. This study provides a better understanding of tide-related marine ecosystem dynamics and biogeochemical cycles and is helpful in improving physical–biogeochemical models.

The Identification and Prediction of Mesoscale Eddy Variation via Memory in Memory With Scheduled Sampling for Sea Level Anomaly - Rui Nian; Yu Cai; Zhengguang Zhang; Hui He; Jingyu Wu; Qiang Yuan; Xue Geng; Yuqi Qian; Hua Yang; Bo He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Ocean mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in world ocean and account for 90% oceanic kinetic energy, which dominate the upper ocean flow field. Accurately predicting the variation of ocean mesoscale eddies is the key to understand the oceanic flow field and circulation system. In this article, we propose to make an initial attempt to explore spatio-temporal predictability of mesoscale eddies, employing deep learning architecture, which primarily establishes Memory In Memory (MIM) for sea level anomaly (SLA) prediction, combined with the existing mesoscale eddy detection. Oriented to the western Pacific ocean (125°−137.5°E and 15°−27.5°N), we quantitatively investigate the historic daily SLA variability at a 0.25° spatial resolution from 2000 to 2018, derived by satellite altimetry. We develop the enhanced MIM prediction strategies, equipped with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and spatial attention module, in a scheduled sampling manner, which overcomes the gradient vanishing and complements to strengthen spatio-temporal features for long-term dependencies. At the early stage, the real value SLA input guides the model training process for initialization, while the scheduled sampling intentionally feeds the newly predicted value, to resolve the distribution inconsistency of inference. It has been demonstrated in our experiment results that our proposed prediction scheme outperformed the state-of-art approaches for SLA time series, with MAPE, RMSE of the 14-day prediction duration, respectively, 5.1%, 0.023 m on average, even up to 4.6%, 0.018 m for the effective sub-regions, compared to 19.8%, 0.086 m in ConvLSTM and 8.3%, 0.040 m in original MIM, which greatly facilitated the mesoscale eddy prediction. This proposed scheme will be beneficial to understand of the underlying dynamical mechanism behind the predictability of mesoscale eddies in the future, and help the deployment of ARGO, glider, AUV and other observational platforms.

210Po-210Pb Disequilibrium in the Western North Pacific Ocean: Particle Cycling and POC Export - Qiangqiang Zhong; Tao Yu; Hui Lin; Jing Lin; Jianda Ji; Jialin Ni; Jinzhou Du; Dekun Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Estimating the particulate organic carbon (POC) export flux from the upper ocean is fundamental for understanding the efficiency of the biological carbon pump driven by sinking particles in the oceans. The downward POC flux from the surface ocean based on 210 Po- 210 Pb disequilibria in seawater samples from the western North Pacific Ocean (w-NPO) was measured in the early summer (May-June) of 2018. All the profiles showed a large 210 Po deficiency relative to 210 Pb in the euphotic zone (0–150 m), while this 210 Po deficiency vanished below ∼500 m (with 210 Po/ 210 Pb ∼1 or > 1). A one-dimensional steady-state irreversible scavenging model was used to quantify the scavenging and removal fluxes of 210 Po and 210 Pb in the euphotic zone of the w-NPO. In the upper ocean (0–150 m), dissolved 210 Po (D-Po) was scavenged into particles with a residence time of 0.6–5.5 year, and the 210 Po export flux out of the euphotic zone was estimated as (0.33–3.49) × 10 4 dpm/m 2 /year, resulting in a wide range of particulate 210 Po (P-Po) residence times (83–921 days). However, in the deep ocean (150–1,000 m), 210 Po was transferred from the particulate phase to the dissolved phase. Using an integrated POC inventory and the P-Po residence times (Eppley model) in the w-NPO euphotic zone, the POC export fluxes (mmol C/m 2 /d) varied from 0.6 ± 0.2 to 8.8 ± 0.4. In comparison, applying the POC/ 210 Po ratio of all (>0.45 μm) particles to 210 Po export flux (Buesseler model), the obtained POC export fluxes (mmol C/m 2 /d) ranged from 0.7 ± 0.1 to 8.6 ± 0.8. Both Buesseler and Eppley methods showed enhanced POC export fluxes at stations near the continental shelf (i.e., Luzon Strait and the Oyashio-Kuroshio mixing region). The Eppley model-based 210 Po-derived POC fluxes agreed well with the Buesseler model-based fluxes, indicating that both models are suitable for assessing POC fluxes in the w-NPO. The POC export efficiency was < 15%, suggesting a moderate biological carbon pump efficiency in the w-NPO. These low export efficiencies may be associated with the dominance of smaller particles and the processes of degradation and subsequent remineralization of these small particles in the euphotic zone of oligotrophic regions in the w-NPO.

Summary Exposure to a diverse microbial environment during pregnancy and early postnatal period is important in determining predisposition towards allergy. However, the effect of environmental microbiota exposure during preconception, pregnancy and postnatal life on development of allergy in the child has not been investigated so far. In the S‐PRESTO (Singapore PREconception Study of long Term maternal and child Outcomes) cohort, we collected house dust during all three critical window periods and analysed microbial composition using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. At 6 and 18 months, the child was assessed for eczema by clinicians. In the eczema group, household environmental microbiota was characterized by presence of human‐associated bacteria Actinomyces , Anaerococcus, Finegoldia, Micrococcus, Prevotella and Propionibacterium at all time points, suggesting their possible contributions to regulating host immunity and increasing the susceptibility to eczema. In the home environment of the control group, putative protective effect of an environmental microbe Planomicrobium ( Planococcaceae family) was observed to be significantly higher than that in the eczema group. Network correlation analysis demonstrated inverse relationships between beneficial Planomicrobium and human‐associated bacteria ( Actinomyces , Anaerococcus, Finegoldia, Micrococcus, Prevotella and Propionibacterium ). Exposure to natural environmental microbiota may be beneficial to modulate shed human‐associated microbiota in an indoor environment.

Controlling pathogenic risks of water treatment biotechnologies at the source by genetic editing means - Jie Wu; Dong‐Feng Liu; Hui‐Hui Li; Di Min; Jia‐Qi Liu; Peng Xu; Wen‐Wei Li; Han‐Qing Yu; Yong‐Guan Zhu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Antimicrobial‐resistant pathogens in the environment and wastewater treatment systems, many of which are also important pollutant degraders and are difficult to control by traditional disinfection approaches, have become an unprecedented treat to ecological security and human health. Here, we propose the adoption of genetic editing techniques as a highly targeted, efficient and simple tool to control the risks of environmental pathogens at the source. An ‘all‐in‐one’ plasmid system was constructed in Aeromonas hydrophila to accurately identify and selectively inactivate multiple key virulence factor genes and antibiotic resistance genes via base editing, enabling significantly suppressed bacterial virulence and resistance without impairing their normal phenotype and pollutant‐degradation functions. Its safe application for bioaugmented treatment of synthetic textile wastewater was also demonstrated. This genetic‐editing technique may offer a promising solution to control the health risks of environmental microorganisms via targeted gene inactivation, thereby facilitating safer application of water treatment biotechnologies.

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Blasting Pressure of Cylindrical Shells under Internal Explosive Loading - Zhan-Feng Chen; Hui-Jie Wang; Zhiqian Sang; Wen Wang; He Yang; Wei-Ming Meng; Yu-Xing Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Cylindrical shells are principal structural elements that are used for many purposes, such as offshore, sub-marine, and airborne structures. The nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading was established to predict the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells. However, due to the complexity of the nonlinear mechanical model, the solution process is time-consuming. In this study, the nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading is linearized, and the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells is solved. First, a mechanical model of cylindrical shells subjected to internal blast loading is proposed. To simplify the calculation, the internal blast loading is reduced to linearly uniform variations. Second, according to the stress function method, the dynamic blast pressure equation of cylindrical shells subjected to blast loading is derived. Third, the calculated results are compared with those of the finite element method (FEM) under different durations of dynamic pressure pulse. Finally, to reduce the errors, the dynamic blast pressure equation is further optimized. The results demonstrate that the optimized equation is in good agreement with the FEM, and is feasible to linearize the internal blast loading of cylindrical shells.

Simultaneous visual diagnosis of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei infection in shrimp with duplex recombinase polymerase amplification - Pei Wang; Chao Ma; Lei Liao; Junwei Yu; Longyu Yi; Yi Qiao; Xin Liu; Song Gao; Hui Shen; Qunwei Lu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Shrimp is a globally popular seafood. Shrimp farming has been challenged by various infectious diseases that lead to significant economic losses. The prevention of two important shrimp infectious diseases, the acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) and the Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) infection, is highly dependent on early and accurate diagnostic. On‐site monitoring of the two diseases in shrimp farming facilities demands point‐of‐care‐testing (POCT) type of diagnostic assays. This study established a duplex recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and lateral flow dipstick (LFD) combined assay that could simultaneously diagnose the two diseases. The optimized RPA‐LFD assay could finish the diagnostic in 35 min with good specificity, and the sensitivity reached 10 1 and 10 2 gene copies per reaction for EHP and AHPND, respectively, which were at the same level as the currently available molecular diagnostic assays. Test results of clinical samples showed 100% agreement of this assay with the industrial standard nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, and samples with both diseases were simultaneously identified. Because of the isothermal 37℃ amplification and the visual reading of the signal on dipsticks, the dependence on equipment is minimal. This duplex RPA‐LFD assay is well suited for simultaneous POCT diagnostic of the two important shrimp infectious diseases. Moreover, the principle can be applied to multiplex POCT diagnostic of other infectious diseases in aquaculture.

Effects of fasting on collective movement and fission–fusion dynamics in both homogeneous and heterogeneous shoals of a group‐living cyprinid fish species - Yu‐Hui Zheng; Shi‐Jian Fu (Journal of Fish Biology, 2021)
The present study aimed to reveal the effect of fasting (21 days) on collective movement and interaction dynamics in both homogeneous (eight members fed a commercial diet or deprived of food) and heterogeneous (four fed + four starved members) shoals of juvenile qingbo ( Spinibarbus sinensis ). The authors of this study measured the shoaling behaviour in both a commonly used rectangular open arena with no spatial complexity and a radial arm maze. When measured in the open arena, the starved shoals had a faster swimming speed and acceleration rate and a longer interindividual distance than the fed shoals, possibly because of the elevated foraging motivation. Nonetheless, the values of the heterogeneous groups were similar to those of the fed groups. Furthermore, in contrast to the fish in homogeneous shoals, the starved fish in heterogeneous shoals showed a slower acceleration rate and speed than fed members in heterogeneous shoals. These results, combined with the relationships of variables at the among‐ and within‐shoal levels, suggested that starved fish limited their motion in heterogeneous shoals to maintain group cohesion but that the fed fish contributed more to maintaining shoal structure, possibly because of the higher energy expenditure required for movement changes. When monitored in a radial arm maze, starved shoals showed more fission–fusion episodes without sacrificing group cohesion, as they adaptively adjusted the frequency and duration of each majority choice. The among‐shoal variation revealed that the heterogeneous groups showed less variation in the open arena but more variation in the radius maze than did the homogeneous groups. This difference might arise because dominant members have opposite effects on shoal behaviour and consensus decisions. In conclusion, the present study showed opposite effects of feeding states on collective behaviour between homogeneous and heterogeneous shoals, possibly because of the complicated interactions among members with different energy storage levels and foraging motivations. Furthermore, the heterogeneous groups showed a difference between shoal behaviour in the open area and exploration in the radial arm maze. Future studies manipulating the personality composition of starved and fed members of heterogeneous groups might yield interesting results.

In-situ Detection Method for Microplastics in Water by Polarized Light Scattering - Tong Liu; Shijun Yu; Xiaoshan Zhu; Ran Liao; Zepeng Zhuo; Yanping He; Hui Ma (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Microplastics (MPs) have become the widespread contaminants, which raises concerns on their ecological hazards. In-situ detection of MP in water bodies is essential for clear assessment of the ecological risks of MPs. The present study proposes a method based on polarized light scattering which measures the polarization parameters of the scattered light at 120° to detect MP in water. This method takes the advantage of in-situ measurement of the individual particles and the experimental setup in principle is used. By use of the measured polarization parameters equipped by machine learning, the standard polystyrene (PS) spheres, natural water sample, and lab-cultured microalgae are explicitly discriminated, and MP with different physical and chemical properties can be differentiated. It can also characterize the weathering of different MP and identify the specific type from multiple types of MP. This study explores the capability of the proposed method to detect the physical and chemical properties, weathering state and concentration of MP in water which promises the future application in water quality sensing and monitoring.

A Potential Risk Index Dataset for Landfalling Tropical Cyclones over the Chinese Mainland (PRITC dataset V1.0) - Peiyan Chen; Hui Yu; Kevin K. W. Cheung; Jiajie Xin; Yi Lu (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
A dataset entitled “A potential risk index dataset for landfalling tropical cyclones over the Chinese mainland” (PRITC dataset V1.0) is described in this paper, as are some basic statistical analyses. Estimating the severity of the impacts of tropical cyclones (TCs) that make landfall on the Chinese mainland based on observations from 1401 meteorological stations was proposed in a previous study, including an index combining TC-induced precipitation and wind (IPWT) and further information, such as the corresponding category level (CAT_IPWT), an index of TC-induced wind (IWT), and an index of TC-induced precipitation (IPT). The current version of the dataset includes TCs that made landfall from 1949–2018; the dataset will be extended each year. Long-term trend analyses demonstrate that the severity of the TC impacts on the Chinese mainland have increased, as embodied by the annual mean IPWT values, and increases in TCinduced precipitation are the main contributor to this increase. TC Winnie (1997) and TC Bilis (2006) were the two TCs with the highest IPWT and IPT values, respectively. The PRITC V1.0 dataset was developed based on the China Meteorological Administration’s tropical cyclone database and can serve as a bridge between TC hazards and their social and economic impacts.

Complex analysis of the personalized pharmacotherapy in the management of COVID-19 patients and suggestions for applications of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine attitude - Lei-Yun Wang; Jia-Jia Cui; Qian-Ying OuYang; Yan Zhan; Yi-Min Wang; Xiang-Yang Xu; Lu-Lu Yu; Hui Yin; Yang Wang; Chen-Hui Luo; Cheng-Xian Guo; Ji-Ye Yin (EPMA Journal, 2021)
Aims Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is rapidly spreading worldwide. Drug therapy is one of the major treatments, but contradictory results of clinical trials have been reported among different individuals. Furthermore, comprehensive analysis of personalized pharmacotherapy is still lacking. In this study, analyses were performed on 47 well-characterized COVID-19 drugs used in the personalized treatment of COVID-19. Methods Clinical trials with published results of drugs use for COVID-19 treatment were collected to evaluate drug efficacy. Drug-to-Drug Interactions (DDIs) were summarized and classified. Functional variations in actionable pharmacogenes were collected and systematically analysed. “Gene Score” and “Drug Score” were defined and calculated to systematically analyse ethnicity-based genetic differences, which are important for the safer use of COVID-19 drugs. Results Our results indicated that four antiviral agents (ritonavir, darunavir, daclatasvir and sofosbuvir) and three immune regulators (budesonide, colchicine and prednisone) as well as heparin and enalapril could generate the highest number of DDIs with common concomitantly utilized drugs. Eight drugs (ritonavir, daclatasvir, sofosbuvir, ribavirin, interferon alpha-2b, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and ceftriaxone had actionable pharmacogenomics (PGx) biomarkers among all ethnic groups. Fourteen drugs (ritonavir, daclatasvir, prednisone, dexamethasone, ribavirin, HCQ, ceftriaxone, zinc, interferon beta-1a, remdesivir, levofloxacin, lopinavir, human immunoglobulin G and losartan) showed significantly different pharmacogenomic characteristics in relation to the ethnic origin of the patient. Conclusion We recommend that particularly for patients with comorbidities to avoid serious DDIs, the predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM, 3 PM) strategies have to be applied for COVID-19 treatment, and genetic tests should be performed for drugs with actionable pharmacogenes, especially in some ethnic groups with a higher frequency of functional variations, as our analysis showed. We also suggest that drugs associated with higher ethnic genetic differences should be given priority in future pharmacogenetic studies for COVID-19 management. To facilitate translation of our results into clinical practice, an approach conform with PPPM/3 PM principles was suggested. In summary, the proposed PPPM/3 PM attitude should be obligatory considered for the overall COVID-19 management.

Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a significant deadly infectious disease in the shrimp farming industry, causing serious economic losses globally every year. Because of the rapid progress speed, lack of effective treatment and high mortality rate of AHPND, monitoring with frequent diagnostic tests is vital for a successful prevention. The conventional histopathological diagnosis fell far short of the requirement for efficient monitoring, and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular diagnostic methods that rely on sophisticated thermocycler and trained personnel are hardly applicable in the field. Combining the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and the lateral flow strips (LFSs), a diagnostic method suitable for on‐site everyday monitoring of AHPND has been established in this study. This RPA‐LFS method targeted the binary toxic photorhabdus insect‐related genes PirA and PirB on a virulence plasmid of the AHPND‐causative Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains. The diagnostic test was completed within 30 min at 37°C and showed good specificity and good sensitivity of 20 fg DNA of the AHPND shrimp or one colony‐forming unit of the causative bacterium per reaction, which was better than the administration‐approved standard AP4 assay. Crude templates from sample boiling could be directly used. Tests of clinical samples showed 100% consistency of this method with the standard AP4 assay. This RPA‐LFS method can be a good choice for on‐site diagnosis of AHPND with quick response time, easy procedure and low demand for resources, and should have significant value for the control of spreading of this dangerous disease in farmed shrimp.

Variations of carbon allocation and turnover time across tropical forests - Hui Yang; Philippe Ciais; Yilong Wang; Yuanyuan Huang; Jean‐Pierre Wigneron; Ana Bastos; Jérôme Chave; Jinfeng Chang; Christopher E. Doughty; Lei Fan; Daniel Goll; Emilie Joetzjer; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim The carbon sink in tropical forests is a highly uncertain component of the global carbon budget. An understanding of the processes controlling this sink requires better quantification of carbon allocation, stocks and turnover times. Location Tropical forests. Time period 2010–2017. Major taxa studied Tropical forest ecosystem. Methods We develop a novel data assimilation system using satellite‐based annual above‐ground biomass derived from L‐band vegetation optical depth with 25 km × 25 km grid spacing, together with leaf area, to constrain the 25 km × 25 km carbon allocation patterns of net primary productivity (NPP) into the wood, leaf and root pools, and their turnover times. Our average data‐driven estimates of these variables are broadly consistent with independent ground‐based estimates of NPP allocation and wood turnover from forest inventory plots. Results In tropical forest, on average, the NPP allocation into wood (0.30 ± 0.04) is significantly higher than that into leaves (0.24 ± 0.07). From the wet to dry tropics, forest NPP allocation into both wood and leaves declines slightly. The turnover times of forest leaf pools exhibit little spatial variation, whereas the turnover times of wood pools in Africa (median and interquartile range: years) are slightly longer than those in South America ( years) and Southeast Asia ( years). Our datasets reveal emergent trade‐offs across climatic and vegetation gradients between growth and life span/turnover for both wood and leaves. The spatial gradients of NPP allocation to wood/leaves are associated with canopy height, adjusted by climate condition and nutrient acquisition. The spatial gradients of wood and leaf turnover times are influenced mainly by climate and leaf characteristics. Main conclusions Our data‐driven estimates of carbon allocation and turnover times provide a basis for more detailed exploration of these mechanisms in field studies. This highlights that improved model representation of carbon allocation and turnover is necessary for more accurate prediction of future carbon dynamics.

Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Database Created by the China Meteorological Administration - Xiaoqin Lu; Hui Yu; Ming Ying; Bingke Zhao; Shuai Zhang; Limin Lin; Lina Bai; Rijin Wan (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
This paper describes the access to, and the content, characteristics, and potential applications of the tropical cyclone (TC) database that is maintained and actively developed by the China Meteorological Administration, with the aim of facilitating its use in scientific research and operational services. This database records data relating to all TCs that have passed through the western North Pacific (WNP) and South China Sea (SCS) since 1949. TC data collection has expanded over recent decades via continuous TC monitoring using remote sensing and specialized field detection techniques, allowing collation of a multi-source TC database for the WNP and SCS that covers a long period, with wide coverage and many observational elements. This database now comprises a wide variety of information related to TCs, such as historical or real-time locations (i.e., best track and landfall), intensity, dynamic and thermal structures, wind strengths, precipitation amounts, and frequency. This database will support ongoing research into the processes and patterns associated with TC climatic activity and TC forecasting.

Environmental Effects on the Spatiotemporal Variability of Fish Larvae in the Western Guangdong Waters, China - Yuting Feng; Lijun Yao; Hui Zhao; Jing Yu; Zhaojin Lin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Spawning grounds occupy an important position in the survival and reproduction of aquatic life, which plays an important role in the replenishment of fishery resources, especially in the China coasts where fishery resources are depleting. This study investigated environmental effects on the spatiotemporal variability of fish larvae in the western Guangdong waters (WGWs), on the basis of generalized additive models (GAMs) and center of gravity (CoG). Satellite data including sea surface salinity (SSS), sea surface temperature (SST), and in situ observations for fish larvae from April to June in 2014–2015 were used. Results showed that 40.3% of the total variation in fish larvae density was explained. SST, SSS, and depth showed positive effects in 23–24 °C and 27–30 °C, 24–32 PSU, and 0–60 m, and showed negative effects in 24–27 °C, 32–34.2 PSU, 60–80 m. Based on the stepwise GAMs, the most important factor was month, with a contribution of 10.6%, followed by longitude, offshore distance, depth, and latitude, with contributions of 7.0%, 7.0%, 6.3%, 4.2%, 3.9%, and 1.3%, respectively. Fish larvae CoG shifted northward by 0.6° N and eastwards by 0.13° E from April to June. The distribution of fish larvae in the WGWs was affected by complex submarine topography in the Qiongzhou Strait, coastal upwelling in the WGWs, and runoff from the Pearl River.

We have collected two shallow gas hydrate samples at two sites having different geological settings off southwest Taiwan during the cruise MD214 in 2018. The first core site, MD18-3542, is on the South Yuan-An East Ridge at ~ 1200 m water deep, where a structural unconformity covered by fine-silt sediments appears at ~ 5.5 m below the seafloor. The second core site, MD18-3543, is close to the Good-Weather Ridge at ~ 1100 m water deep, where a gas-related pockmark structure and authigenic carbonates are present at shallow strata with fine-silt sediments near the seafloor. Sediment properties of core MD18-3542 are distinctively different above and below the layer corresponding to the unconformity. Both cores show obvious gaps or voids in the lower core halves. The core features could be linked to the dissociated methane upward migrating from deep strata. Core site settings with upwelling methane would favor the formation of shallow gas hydrates. At site MD18-3542, the shallow hydrate could be formed due to high concentration methane kept beneath the unconformity covered by fine-silt sediments. At site MD18-3543, the shallow hydrate could be formed due to an extremely high flux of upwelling methane trapped either beneath the authigenic carbonates or fine-silt sediments.

Key message QTL for fiber quality traits under salt stress discerned candidate genes controlling fatty acid metabolism. Abstract Salinity stress seriously affects plant growth and limits agricultural productivity of crop plants. To dissect the genetic basis of response to salinity stress, a recombinant inbred line population was developed to compare fiber quality in upland cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salt stress and normal conditions. Based on three datasets of (1) salt stress, (2) normal growth, and (3) the difference value between salt stress and normal conditions, 51, 70, and 53 QTL were mapped, respectively. Three QTL for fiber length (FL) ( qFL-Chr1-1, qFL-Chr5-5, and qFL-Chr24-4) were detected under both salt and normal conditions and explained 4.26%, 9.38%, and 3.87% of average phenotypic variation, respectively. Seven genes within intervals of two stable QTL ( qFL-Chr1-1 and qFL-Chr5-5 ) were highly expressed in lines with extreme long fiber. A total of 35 QTL clusters comprised of 107 QTL were located on 18 chromosomes and exhibited pleiotropic effects. Thereinto, two clusters were responsible for improving five fiber quality traits, and 6 influenced FL and fiber strength (FS). The QTL with positive effect for fiber length exhibited active effects on fatty acid synthesis and elongation, but the ones with negative effect played passive roles on fatty acid degradation under salt stress.

Modeling the role of riverine organic matter in hypoxia formation within the coastal transition zone off the Pearl River Estuary - Liuqian Yu; Jianping Gan; Minhan Dai; Chiwing Rex Hui; Zhongming Lu; Dou Li (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Globally expanding hypoxia in estuaries and coastal oceans has largely been attributed to the elevated river nutrient inputs, whereas the role of river‐delivered terrestrial organic matter (OM terr ) in hypoxia formation has been less investigated. This study uses a coupled physical‐biogeochemical model and observations to investigate how OM terr directly (via remineralization) and indirectly (via the nutrients released from OM terr remineralization) promotes hypoxia development in the coastal transition zone off the Pearl River Estuary. Results show that direct contribution of OM terr remineralization to total oxygen consumption by terrestrial and marine organic matter negatively correlates with salinity, decreasing from over 60% in the upper estuary to nearly 0% in the far reaches of the river plume, and is higher in the upstream (average 30%) than the downstream region (average 18%). Nevertheless, the nutrients released from OM terr remineralization greatly sustain an indirect contribution to oxygen depletion and hypoxia formation downstream. The increasing relative importance of indirect over the direct effect of OM terr to hypoxia along the plume path is a combined result of the wind‐driven eastward shelf current and the OM terr ‐released nutrients being advected farther downstream than the sinking OM terr . This highlights that without including the indirect effect of OM terr may underestimate the role of OM terr in hypoxia formation in aquatic systems. Examinations of the hypoxia response to varying riverine loads further suggest that reducing the nutrient and OM terr loads is required for hypoxia mitigation in the upstream region while reducing the nutrient load alone is more effective in mitigating hypoxia in the downstream.

Experimental evidence for long‐term coexistence of copiotrophic and oligotrophic bacteria in pelagic surface seawater - Yi Li; Zhi‐Bin Wang; Xi‐Ying Zhang; Yan‐Ru Dang; Lin‐Lin Sun; Wei‐Peng Zhang; Hui‐Hui Fu; Gui‐Peng Yang; Min Wang; Andrew McMinn; Xiu‐Lan Chen; Yin Chen; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Most marine copiotrophic bacteria can produce extracellular enzymes to degrade biopolymers into bio‐available smaller solutes, while oligotrophic bacteria usually cannot. Bacterial extracellular enzymes and enzymatic products can be a common resource that could be utilized by both copiotrophs and oligotrophs; when present, oligotrophs may outcompete the enzyme‐producing copiotrophs. However, copiotrophs and oligotrophs consistently coexist in the ocean. How they maintain coexistence has still not been experimentally studied. In this study, the interaction and coexistence of a copiotroph and an oligotroph, isolated from the same surface seawater sample and utilizing the same proteinaceous substrate, were experimentally investigated. The copiotroph could secrete extracellular proteases to degrade and then utilize the proteinaceous substrate. The oligotroph was unable to utilize the proteinaceous substrate by itself, but could grow by using the hydrolysate amino acids. The copiotroph outcompeted the oligotroph by adsorbing the amino acids quickly and having a higher growth rate in the rich medium. The oligotroph survived by adapting to low concentration of nutrients. The copiotroph and oligotroph were able to maintain long‐term (up to 142 days) coexistence in the laboratory. This study indicates that differences in the utilization of different concentrations of nutrients can drive the coexistence of marine copiotrophs and oligotrophs.

Summary Fungal–mineral interactions can produce large amounts of biogenic nano‐size (~ 1–100 nm) minerals, yet their influence on fungal physiology and growth remains largely unexplored. Using Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742 and magnetite (Mt) as a model fungus and mineral system, we have shown for the first time that biogenic Mt nanoparticles formed during fungal–mineral cultivation exhibit intrinsic peroxidase‐like activity. Specifically, the average peroxidase‐like activity of Mt nanoparticles after 72 h cultivation was ~ 2.4 times higher than that of the original Mt. Evidence from high resolution X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicated that the unique properties of magnetite nanoparticles largely stemmed from their high proportion of surface non‐lattice oxygen, through occupying surface oxygen‐vacant sites, rather than Fe redox chemistry, which challenges conventional Fenton reaction theories that assume iron to be the sole redox‐active centre. Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry with a resolution down to 50 nm demonstrated that a thin (
