Genomic and transcriptomic insights into the habitat adaptation of the diazotrophic paddy‐field cyanobacterium Nostoc sphaeroides - Zhen Chen; Jin‐Long Shang; Shengwei Hou; Tao Li; Qi Li; Yi‐Wen Yang; Wolfgang R. Hess; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacteria are common in paddy fields, one of the most productive wetland ecosystems. Here, we present the complete genome of Nostoc sphaeroides, a paddy‐field diazotroph used for food and medicine for more than 1700 years and deciphered the transcriptional regulation during the developmental transition from hormogonia to vegetative filaments with heterocysts. The genome of N. sphaeroides consists of one circular chromosome (6.48 Mb), one of the largest ever reported megaplasmids (2.34 Mb), and seven plasmids. Multiple gene families involved in the adaption to high solar radiation and water fluctuation conditions were found expanded, while genes involved in anoxic adaptation and phosphonate utilization are located on the megaplasmid, suggesting its indispensable role in environmental adaptation. Distinct gene expression patterns were observed during the light‐intensity‐regulated transition from hormogonia to vegetative filaments, specifically, genes encoding proteins involved in photosynthetic light reaction, carbon fixation, nitrogen metabolism and heterocyst differentiation were significantly upregulated, whereas genes related to cell motility were down‐regulated. Our results provide genomic and transcriptomic insights into the adaptation of a filamentous nitrogen‐fixing cyanobacterium to the highly dynamic paddy‐field habitat, suggesting N. sphaeroides as an excellent system to understand the transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats and to support sustainable rice production.

Numerical Investigation of the Characteristics of Erosion in a Centrifugal Pump for Transporting Dilute Particle-Laden Flows - Rui-Jie Zhao; You-Long Zhao; De-Sheng Zhang; Yan Li; Lin-Lin Geng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Erosion in centrifugal pumps for transporting flows with dilute particles is a main pump failure problem in many engineering processes. A numerical model combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Discrete Element Method (DEM) is applied to simulate erosion in a centrifugal pump. Different models of the liquid-solid inter-phase forces are implemented, and the particle-turbulence interaction is also defined. The inertial particles considered in this work are monodisperse and have finite size. The numerical results are validated by comparing the results with a series of experimental data. Then, the effects of particle volume fraction, size, and shape on the pump erosion are estimated in the simulations. The results demonstrate that severe erosive areas are located near the inlet and outlet of the pressure side of the impeller blade, the middle region of the blade, the corners of the shroud and hub of the impeller adjoining to the pressure side of the blade, and the volute near the pump tongue. Among these locations, the maximum erosion occurs near the inlet of the pressure side of the blade. Erosion mitigation occurs under the situation where more particles accumulate in the near-wall region of the eroded surface, forming a buffering layer. The relationship between the particle size and the erosion is nonlinear, and the 1 mm particle causes the maximum pump erosion. The sharp particles cause more severe erosion in the pump because both the frequency of particle-wall collisions and the impact angle increase with the increasing sharpness of the particle.

Disturbance-Mediated Changes in Coral Reef Habitat Provoke a Positive Feeding Response in a Major Coral Reef Detritivore, Ctenochaetus striatus - Xianzhi Lin; Simin Hu; Yong Liu; Li Zhang; Hui Huang; Sheng Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Coral reefs are undergoing global phase shifts from coral-dominated to algae-dominated stages. The negative effects of this substratum shift on the diversity and abundance of fish have been well documented, but the influence on fish feeding is less studied, which may limit a deeper understanding of trophic pathways in such a disturbed system. In this study, we investigated the feeding response of a numerically dominant fish species Ctenochaetus striatus to different substrate types, including hard coral, short algal turfs (SATs, <5 mm), and long algal turfs (LATs, >5 mm), on reefs in the South China Sea. The biomass of C. striatus showed an inverted U-shaped relationship with coral coverage and a significant positive correlation with SAT coverage ( p < 0.05), indicating that rising SAT coverage associated with moderate coral loss provoked a feeding response in C. striatus . Stomach contents of C. striatus , analyzed using high-throughput sequencing (HTS), were dominated by algal sequences (relative read abundance, RRA > 80.0%), including macroalgae, filamentous algae, and microalgae (e.g., Symbiodinium and Prorocentrum ). The sequence number and diversity of microalgae (mainly dinoflagellates) tended to be abundant (RRA 13.5–36.5%) with increased SAT cover, but brown algae sequences (RRA 17.2–57.8%) or green algae sequences (RRA > 50.7% except one site) dominated the stomach content DNA in reefs with high coral cover and high LAT or macroalgal cover, respectively. Considering the limited ability of C. striatus to remove mature algae, macroalgal DNA might be from algal debris. Our results indicate that C. striatus populations respond positively to conditions of moderate coral loss through increases in body condition identified as increased biomass. These responses are correlated to the expansion of SAT’s as coral cover declined, however, this relationship reverses if coral loss is high due to the succession of LAT’s over SAT’s and a corresponding decrease in the quality of food available. Our use of HTS has nevertheless identified the importance of detritivory in the flow of energy through reefs in the Anthropocene which are increasingly becoming depauperate in hard coral.

Kelp aquaculture in China: a retrospective and future prospects - Zi‐Min Hu; Ti‐Feng Shan; Jie Zhang; Quan‐Sheng Zhang; Alan T. Critchley; Han‐Gil Choi; Norishige Yotsukura; Fu‐Li Liu; De‐Lin Duan (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
Globally, China has the largest scale of kelp cultivation and production operations. However, its kelp aquaculture industry is suffering from declining germplasm diversity, degradation of agronomic traits, the presence of polluted environments, changing ocean conditions and increasing anthropological interference. This review covers two of the most commercially important kelp species in China, viz. Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida . It summarizes the history of their cultivation, production, economic and ecological benefits, their breeding programmes (e.g. inter‐ and intra‐specific hybridization and marker‐assisted selection) and efforts towards population genetic diversity and conservation. The article focuses on three significant challenges, for example genetic cross‐contamination between the wild and farmed kelp populations, ocean warming and ocean acidification. Accordingly, we outline the steps required to provide several intervention measures, for example (i) collection and preservation of wild and cultivated kelp germplasm; (ii) selection of suitable cultivation sites under changing environmental conditions; (iii) developing stress‐resistant cultivars; and finally, (iv) adoption of innovative cultivation models. The review concludes with genome‐based, designs for molecular breeding and calls for the establishment of an East Asian Kelp Consortium (EAKC). Collectively, the Chinese kelp industry could provide beneficial goods and services, for example bioenergy to fine chemicals and environmental benefits, such as carbon capture, pH amelioration and provision of habitat for many other marine species of commercial value. The strategies proposed in this article thus have the potential to not only improve but also reinvigorate the kelp industry in China and nearby Japan and Korea, in the context of both environmental health and economic benefits.

Mechanical properties of lightweight foam concrete filler for roadbed of high-speed railway - De-Gou Cai; Shao-Wei Wei; Yang-Sheng Ye; Qian-Li Zhang; Zhong-Guo Li; Si Li (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021)
A high-speed railway has high requirements for line smoothness, and uneven settlement control is the primary factor considered in the design and operation of the subgrade. The emergence of lightweight subgrade structures meets the needs of the development of the high-speed railway. As a kind of filling material with good performance, lightweight foam concrete can effectively reduce the load and excessive settlement of subgrade and effectively reduce the cost of foundation treatment. This paper studied the dynamic characteristics of lightweight foam concrete with different wet densities and water-bearing states under train loading. The effects of wet density and fly ash content on the compressibility, impermeability, and frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete were analyzed in detail. The results show that the lightweight foam concrete still has high residual strength after compression, which is about 60% of its peak strength. Under different mix ratios, the critical dynamic stress of the lightweight foam concrete is generally 0.2–0.3 times the unconfined compressive strength, and the dynamic elastic modulus increases with the increase of wet density and cyclic stress amplitude. With the fly ash content increasing, the volume water absorption of lightweight foam concrete decreases first and then increases, and the critical value of fly ash content is 40%. The frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete gradually increases with the increase of wet density, and the dynamic elastic modulus of the sample with 279 kg·m −3 density lost 41.1% after 20 freeze–thaw cycles. When the content of fly ash is 20%, the frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete is equivalent to that of pure cement.

Dental Pulp Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Mitigate Haematopoietic Damage after Radiation - Fanxuan Kong; Chu-Tse Wu; Panpan Geng; Chao Liu; Fengjun Xiao; Li-Sheng Wang; Hua Wang (Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 2021)
Radiation therapy can cause haematopoietic damage, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been shown to reverse this damage. Our previous research showed that dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have a strong proliferation capacity and can produce abundant amounts of EVs to meet the requirements for use in vitro and in vivo. DPSCs derived EVs (DPSCs-EVs) are evaluated for their effect on reducing haematopoietic damage. Haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) numbers and function were assessed by flow cytometry, peripheral blood cell counts, histology and bone marrow transplantation. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) was used as a reference for evaluating the efficiency of EVs. miRNA microarray was employed to find out the changes of miRNA expression after cells being irradiated in vivo and the role they may play in mitigation the radiation caused injury. We observed the effect of DPSCs-EVs on promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and FDC-P1 cells in vitro. We found that DPSCs-EVs and EGF could comparably inhibit the decrease in WBC, CFU count and KSL cells in vivo. We also verified that EVs could accelerate the recovery of long-term HSCs. In summary, DPSCs-EVs showed an apoptosis resistant effect on HUVECs and FDC-P1 cells after radiation injury in vitro. EVs from DPSCs were comparable to EGF in their ability to regulate haematopoietic regeneration after radiation injury in vivo. Radiation could alter the expression of some miRNAs in bone marrow cells, and EVs could correct these changes to some extent.

Habitat‐dependent impacts of exotic plant invasions on benthic food webs in a coastal wetland - Sikai Wang; Qiang He; Youzheng Zhang; Qiang Sheng; Bo Li; Jihua Wu (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Exotic plants with wide ecological niches often invade multiple types of habitats, leading to homogenization of ecosystem structure and functions. How exotic plant invasions affect the structure and functions of benthic food webs in different habitats is poorly understood. We tested how Spartina alterniflora invasions affected benthic food webs in four contrasting types of habitat ( Scirpus mariqueter marshes, Phragmites australis marshes, unvegetated tidal creeks, and bare tidal flats) in the Yangtze estuary. We examined distribution pattern of benthic macroinvertebrates, and documented the differences in basal resources of benthic food web by stable isotope analyses of δ 13 C and δ 15 N in different habitats. Our results showed that in unvegetated habitats, conversion of tidal creeks and bare tidal flats to exotic marshes following Spartina invasions significantly altered the functional composition of benthic food webs, which was driven partially by bottom‐up processes related to a consumer dietary shift from benthic organic matter to detritus (trophic effect) and by alteration in species composition related to habitat changes (nontrophic effect). In vegetated native habitats, while the replacement of native plants by Spartina consistently led to a shift in consumer diet from benthic organic matter to detritus, it did not significantly alter the functional composition of benthic food webs. These data suggested the relative importance of trophic and nontrophic effects of plant invasions on benthic food webs could vary with habitat structure (e.g., the presence of native vegetation). Our study provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying homogenization of ecosystem structure and functions by exotic plant invasions.

Summary Planktonic microorganisms play a key role in the biogeochemical processes of the aquatic system, and they may be affected by many factors. High‐throughput sequencing technology was used in this study to investigate and study the bacterioplankton community of water bodies in the upper reaches of the Heihe River Basin in Qinghai Plateau. Results showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria are the predominant phyla in this river section, while the main genera are Thiomonas , Acidibacillus , Acidocella , Rhodanobacter , Acidithiobacter and Gallionella , which are autochthonous in the acid‐mine drainage. Additionally, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, permanganate index and pH are significantly correlated with the bacterioplankton abundance and are the main limiting factors for the spatial distribution of the bacterioplankton. PICRUSt inferred that the mainstream microbial assemblages had a higher abundance of KOs belong to metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, while the tributary had higher abundance of KOs belong to the immune system. The relationship between bacterioplankton community composition and environmental factors in the Heihe River basin was discussed for the first time in this study, which provides a theoretical basis for the healthy, orderly development of the water environment in the Heihe River Basin.

The variability of interior atmospheric potential vorticity (PV) is linked with PV generation at the Earth's surface. The present paper reveals the features of the surface PV and provides a stepping stone to investigate the surface PV budget. In this study, the formats of the PV and PV budget adopting a generalized vertical coordinate were theoretically examined to facilitate the calculation of the surface PV and its budget. Results show that the formats of the PV and PV budget equations are independent of the vertical coordinate. While the vertical component of the surface PV dominates over the platform of the Tibetan Plateau, the horizontal component plays an important role over the slopes of the Tibetan Plateau, especially the southern slope owing to the strong in‐situ meridional gradient of the potential temperature. These results indicate that the employment of complete surface PV not only provides a finer PV structure but also more appropriately reveals its effect on atmospheric circulation. Diagnosis based on reanalysis and model output demonstrates that the surface PV budget equation is well balanced both in terms of the climate mean and synoptic process, and the surface PV budget in June has a prominent diurnal cycle. The diabatic heating with a minimum in the early morning and a maximum from evening to midnight contributes dominantly to this diurnal cycle. It is further indicated that positive PV generation due to diabatic heating is essential for the formation, development, and movement of the Tibetan Plateau vortex.

A unique porin meditates iron‐selective transport through cyanobacterial outer membranes - Guo‐Wei Qiu; Hai‐Bo Jiang; Hagar Lis; Zheng‐Ke Li; Bin Deng; Jin‐Long Shang; Chuan‐Yu Sun; Nir Keren; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Cyanobacteria are globally important primary producers and nitrogen fixers with high iron demands. Low ambient dissolved iron concentrations in many aquatic environments mean that these organisms must maintain sufficient and selective transport of iron into the cell. However, the nature of iron transport pathways through the cyanobacterial outer membrane remains obscure. Here we present multiple lines of experimental evidence that collectively support the existence of a novel class of substrate‐selective iron porin, Slr1908, in the outer membrane of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Elemental composition analysis and short‐term iron uptake assays with mutants in Slr1908 reveal that this protein is primarily involved in inorganic iron uptake and contributes less to the accumulation of other metals. Homologues of Slr1908 are widely distributed in both freshwater and marine cyanobacteria, most notably in unicellular marine diazotrophs. Complementary experiments with a homologue of Slr1908 in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 restored the phenotype of Synechocystis knockdown mutants, showing that this siderophore producing species also possesses a porin with a similar function in Fe transport. The involvement of a substrate‐selective porins in iron uptake may allow cyanobacteria to tightly control iron flux into the cell, particularly in environments where iron concentrations fluctuate.

Small Jellyfish as a Supplementary Autumnal Food Source for Juvenile Chaetognaths in Sanya Bay, China - Lingli Wang; Minglan Guo; Tao Li; Hui Huang; Sheng Liu; Simin Hu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Information on the in situ diet of juvenile chaetognaths is critical for understanding the population recruitment of chaetognaths and their functional roles in marine food web. In this study, a molecular method based on PCR amplification targeted on 18S rDNA was applied to investigate the diet composition of juvenile Flaccisagitta enflata collected in summer and autumn in Sanya Bay, China. Diverse diet species were detected in the gut contents of juvenile F. enflata, including copepods, small jellyfish, anthozoa, polychaetes, echinoderms, diatoms and dinoflagellates. The diet composition showed obvious differences between summer and autumn. Copepod, such as Temora turbinata, Canthocalanus pauper and Subeucalanus crassus, dominated the diet in summer, representing up to 61% of the total prey items. However, small jellyfish, mainly consisting of Bougainvillia fulva, Solmissus marshalli and Pleurobrachia globosa, was the main food group (72.9%) in autumn. Environmental parameters showed no significant difference between summer and autumn. The mean abundance of juvenile chaetognaths in autumn was about eight times higher than that in summer, while the abundance of potential food prey was similar in both seasons. Our results suggested that juveniles chaetognaths might consume small jellyfish as a supplementary food source under enhanced feeding competition in autumn.

Spinal CCL2 Promotes Pain Sensitization by Rapid Enhancement of NMDA-Induced Currents Through the ERK-GluN2B Pathway in Mouse Lamina II Neurons - Hui Zhang; Sui-Bin Ma; Yong-Jing Gao; Jun-Ling Xing; Hang Xian; Zhen-Zhen Li; Shu-Ning Shen; Sheng-Xi Wu; Ceng Luo; Rou-Gang Xie (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2020)
Previous studies have shown that CCL2 (C–C motif chemokine ligand 2) induces chronic pain, but the exact mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we established models to explore the potential mechanisms. Behavioral experiments revealed that an antagonist of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibited not only CCL2-induced inflammatory pain, but also pain responses induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant. We posed the question of the intracellular signaling cascade involved. Subsequent experiments showed that CCL2 up-regulated the expression of phosphorylated ERK (pERK) and N-methyl D-aspartate receptor [NMDAR] subtype 2B (GluN2B); meanwhile, antagonists of CCR2 and ERK effectively reversed these phenomena. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that CCL2 enhanced the NMDAR-induced currents via activating the pERK pathway, which was blocked by antagonists of GluN2B and ERK. In summary, we demonstrate that CCL2 directly interacts with CCR2 to enhance NMDAR-induced currents, eventually leading to inflammatory pain mainly through the CCL2–CCR2–pERK–GluN2B pathway.

Identification of Cyt2Ba from a New Strain of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Toxicity in Bradysia difformis - Fan-Fan Wang; Shao-Xuan Qu; Jin-Sheng Lin; Hui-Ping Li; Li-Juan Hou; Ning Jiang; Xin Luo; Lin Ma (Current Microbiology, 2020)
Bradysia difformis is one of the most damaging pests in mushroom production in China. In this study, eight Bacillus thuringiensis strains were analyzed for insecticidal activity in B. difformis . The strain JW-1 showed the highest insecticidal activity against B. difformis larvae, but did not inhibit the mycelial growth of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. geesteranus . The 16S rRNA gene (1397 bp) and cyt2 gene (792 bp) were obtained from strain JW-1. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene and Cyt2 toxin showed that strain JW-1 was a member of B. thuringiensis and Cyt2 toxin belonged to Cyt2Ba toxin cluster. The Cyt2Ba toxin from strain JW-1 was overexpressed in E. coli as a fusion protein and the fusion protein (70 kDa) was purified by Ni-IDA affinity chromatography. The purified Cyt2Ba fusion protein was toxic to B. difformis larvae (LC 50 was 2.25 ng/mL). The identification of Cyt2Ba from strain JW-1 and confirmation of the insecticidal activity of Cyt2Ba in B. difformis provided a new means of biological control of the important pest in mushroom production.
