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.

Elevated pCO2 Impedes Succession of Phytoplankton Community From Diatoms to Dinoflagellates Along With Increased Abundance of Viruses and Bacteria - Ruiping Huang; Jiazhen Sun; Yunlan Yang; Xiaowen Jiang; Zhen Wang; Xue Song; Tifeng Wang; Di Zhang; He Li; Xiangqi Yi; Shouchang Chen; Nanou Bao; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Eutrophic coastal regions are highly productive and greatly influenced by human activities. Primary production supporting the coastal ecosystems is supposed to be affected by progressive ocean acidification driven by increasing CO 2 emissions. In order to investigate the effects of high p CO 2 (HC) on eutrophic plankton community structure and ecological functions, we employed 9 mesocosms and carried out an experiment under ambient (∼410 ppmv) and future high (1000 ppmv) atmospheric p CO 2 conditions, using in situ plankton community in Wuyuan Bay, East China Sea. Our results showed that HC along with natural seawater temperature rise significantly boosted biomass of diatoms with decreased abundance of dinoflagellates in the late stage of the experiment, demonstrating that HC repressed the succession from diatoms to dinoflagellates, a phenomenon observed during algal blooms in the East China Sea. HC did not significantly influence the primary production or biogenic silica contents of the phytoplankton assemblages. However, the HC treatments increased the abundance of viruses and heterotrophic bacteria, reflecting a refueling of nutrients for phytoplankton growth from virus-mediated cell lysis and bacterial degradation of organic matters. Conclusively, our results suggest that increasing CO 2 concentrations can modulate plankton structure including the succession of phytoplankton community and the abundance of viruses and bacteria in eutrophic coastal waters, which may lead to altered biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients.

Corticosterone Can Be an Essential Stress Index in Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) - Kang Xiao; Xi Wang; Wen-Bin Liu; Ding-Dong Zhang; Xiang-Fei Li; Chun-Nuan Zhang; Wei-Hua Chen; Kenneth Prudence Abasubong; Guang-Zhen Jiang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Although cortisol is considered the main glucocorticoid involved in regulating stress in fish by elevating the serum glucose, the presence of serum corticosterone and whether its level can be used as an indicator for fish stress activation and reflect the degree of fish stress remains to be determined. To comprehensively and accurately evaluate the performance of two glucocorticoids after stress, in this study, seven of the most common stressors (ammonia nitrogen, high-temperature, acid, alkali, Aeromonas hydrophila, and salinity) in aquaculture were selected. The levels of serum corticosterone, cortisol, and glucose were detected within 48 h, and then the dynamic changes were analyzed. In addition, the kidneys were collected to detect the expression of corresponding proteins involved in corticosterone and cortisol synthesis (3 β-HSD and CYP17A1) for further exploration. From the results obtained, the content of serum corticosterone was about 100 times higher than that of cortisol, and it was found that corticosterone and cortisol showed different dynamic changes within 48 h among the seven kinds of stress. In the subsequent detection of glucose, it was found that the dynamic shift in glucose was not consistent with the dynamic changes of corticosterone or cortisol entirely but seemed to be caused by the combination of the two. In the follow-up protein expression detection, we found that corticosterone seemed to respond to stress earlier. Therefore, it is concluded that the responses of corticosterone and cortisol to stress are independent, corticosterone may be more sensitive in the current seven acute stresses, and then they regulate glucose together to resist stress. The study aimed to fill the vacancy of corticosterone in fish research and provide a reference for the complete evaluation of fish stress degree.

Termite mounds reduce soil microbial diversity by filtering rare microbial taxa - Qing‐Lin Chen; Hang‐Wei Hu; Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong Zheng; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Termites are ubiquitous insects in tropical and subtropical habitats, and some of them construct massive nests (‘mounds’), which substantially promote substrate heterogeneity by altering soil properties. Yet, the role of termite nesting process in regulating the distribution and diversity of soil microbial communities remains poorly understood, which introduces uncertainty in predictions of ecosystem functions of termite mounds in a changing environment. Here, by using amplicon sequencing, we conducted a survey of 134 termite mounds across >1500 km in northern Australia and found that termite mounds significantly differed from bulk soils in the microbial diversity and community compositions. Compared with bulk soils, termite nesting process decreased the microbial diversity and the relative abundance of rare taxa. Rare taxa had a narrower habitat niche breadth than dominant taxa and might be easier to be filtered by the potential intensive microbial competition during the nesting processes. We further demonstrated that the shift in pH induced by termite nesting process was a major driver shaping the microbial community profiles in termite mounds. Together, our work provides novel evidence that termite nesting is an important process in regulating soil microbial diversity, which advances our understanding of the functioning of termite mounds.

A global analysis on the systemic effects of antibiotics in cultured fish and their potential human health risk: a review - Samwel Mchele Limbu; Li‐Qiao Chen; Mei‐Ling Zhang; Zhen‐Yu Du (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
The rearing of fish in intensive systems reduces their immunity leading to eruption of diseases, consequently prompting the use of antibiotics. Antibiotics are currently used in cultured fish globally to treat/prevent diseases. On the one hand, antibiotics used in aquaculture help to improve fish health by killing or inhibiting pathogenic bacteria proliferation. However, on the other hand, they cause multiple side effects. To date, information on systemic effects of antibiotics in cultured fish is scattered and their potential human health risk remains elusive. This review critically analyses and discusses the available information in the literature on the positive and negative effects of antibiotics in cultured fish and their potential human health risk via fish consumption. The review found 44 different antibiotics dominated by oxytetracycline were studied in various fish species worldwide. Antibiotics used in global aquaculture either decrease or increase fish growth and survival rates. They induce oxidative stress, which affect antioxidant and detoxification responses and cause host–microbiota dysbiosis. These changes compromise the fish immunity system, which ultimately lead to cellular damage. The toxicities generated inhibit the fish aerobic glycolysis, suppress lipogenesis and fatty acid β‐oxidation while increase energy demand by initiating gluconeogenesis and anaerobic glycolysis. Consumption of fish treated with antibiotics causes human health risk. Future studies are required on agents to restore dysfunctions induced by antibiotics in cultured fish, while attempts to limit their utilisation in aquaculture production are underway.

Developmental basis for flower sex determination and effects of cytokinin on sex determination in Plukenetia volubilis (Euphorbiaceae) - Yan Luo; Bang-Zhen Pan; Lu Li; Chen-Xuan Yang; Zeng-Fu Xu (Plant Reproduction, 2020)
Key message Cytokinin might be an important factor to regulate floral sex at the very early stage of flower development in sacha inchi. Abstract Sacha inchi ( Plukenetia volubilis , Euphorbiaceae) is characterized by having female and male flowers in a thyrse with particular differences. The mechanisms involved in the development of unisexual flowers are very poorly understood. In this study, the inflorescence and flower development of P. volubilis were investigated using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. We also investigated the effects of cytokinin on flower sex determination by exogenous application of 6-benzyladenine (BA) in P. volubilis . The floral development of P. volubilis was divided into eight stages, and the first morphological divergence between the male and female flowers was found to occur at stage 3. Both female and male flowers can be structurally distinguished by differences in the shape and size of the flower apex after sepal primordia initiation. There are no traces of gynoecia in male flowers or of androecia in female flowers. Exogenous application of BA effectively induced gynoecium primordia initiation and female flower development, especially at the early flower developmental stages. We propose that flower sex is determined earlier and probably occurs before flower initiation, either prior to or at inflorescence development due to the difference in the position of the female and male primordia in the inflorescence and in the time of the female and male primordia being initiated. The influence of cytokinin on female primordia during flower development in P. volubilis strongly suggests a feminization role for cytokinin in sex determination. These results indicate that cytokinin could modify the fate of the apical meristem of male flower and promote the formation of carpel primordia in P. volubilis.

Rapid diversification of alpine bamboos associated with the uplift of the Hengduan Mountains - Xia‐Ying Ye; Peng‐Fei Ma; Guo‐Qian Yang; Cen Guo; Yu‐Xiao Zhang; Yun‐Mei Chen; Zhen‐Hua Guo; De‐Zhu Li (Journal of Biogeography, 2019)
Aim The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) of southwest China is a biodiversity hotspot and harbours one of the world's richest temperate floras. However, the origin and evolution of its biota remain largely unresolved. Here we explore the impact of mountain uplift on the diversification process of biodiversity in this hotspot using alpine bamboos. Location The HDM region, southwest China. Taxon Alpine bamboos. Methods We used ddRAD‐seq data from the most complete sampling of alpine bamboos undertaken to date (79% of the species diversity), to investigate their evolutionary history. The ancestral area of these bamboos was reconstructed using a time‐calibrated phylogeny in BioGeoBEARS and diversification rates were inferred using BAMM analyses. In addition, the impact of mountain uplift on the divergence of alpine bamboos was evaluated using trait‐dependent models of diversification. Results The alpine bamboos were strongly supported as monophyletic, and the relationships within them were robustly resolved. Fargesia was found to be polyphyletic and Yushania was resolved as monophyletic. Alpine bamboos originated outside the HDM region during the late Miocene, and spread to this region in the Pliocene, undergoing a significant acceleration in net diversification, which is temporally congruent with the orogeny. The speciation rate increased with altitude and a high diversification rate, estimated to be 0.75 species per million years, was detected for alpine bamboos distributed in high elevations. Main Conclusions Our study demonstrates that heterogeneous mountain habitats and geographical isolation of alpine bamboos, which have limited dispersal ability, are important drivers for their rapid diversification. This study also highlights the power of complementary analyses in revealing the link between species diversification and past geological changes.

The metabolic regulation of dietary L‐carnitine in aquaculture nutrition: present status and future research strategies - Ling‐Yu Li; Samwel M. Limbu; Qiang Ma; Li‐Qiao Chen; Mei‐Ling Zhang; Zhen‐Yu Du (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2019)
L‐carnitine is a multi‐functional nutrient which plays a leading role in fatty acid metabolism in mammals and other eukaryotes. Its main physiological function is to promote fatty acid β‐oxidation to produce energy, which reduces body fat content and improves body weight without affecting moisture content in whole body and muscle. In recent years, its dietary supplementation in aquaculture nutrition has been studied in different cultured species. It has been proved that L‐carnitine can improve growth and increase lipid utilization rate in some aquatic animals. However, such beneficial effects of dietary L‐carnitine are limited or absent in other species. The reasons for the conflicting results obtained on L‐carnitine functions in aquatic animals need to be elucidated. This review explores comprehensively the different physiological functions of L‐carnitine in various aquatic animals.

Characterization, tissue distribution of apela and periprandial, fasting and refeeding changes of apela mRNA in Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii - Ni Tang; Jin Hao; Xin Zhang; Yuan B. Wu; Shu Y. Wang; Jin W. Qi; Zhen Z. Tian; Bin Wang; Hu Chen; De F. Chen; Zhi Q. Li (Journal of Fish Biology, 2018)
Apela identified from zebrafish Danio rerio for the first time in 2013 is a novel endogenous peptide ligand for the apelin receptor. To study the role of apela in regulating fish feeding, the complementary (c) DNA sequence of apela of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii was cloned for the first time. The apela cDNA fragment of 836 bp was obtained by cloning. The open reading frame (ORF) of apela was 165 bp encoding a 54 amino acid, including 22 amino acids signal peptide and two proteolytic sites. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that A. baerii apela was clustered with mammalian and amphibian sequences. A. baerii apela messeger (m)RNA was widely distributed in 11 tissues related to feeding, with high expressions in brain, oesophagus and stomach, especially in the brain. The level of apela mRNA in brain increased significantly after feeding. On the first day of fasting, apela expression in brain was significantly lower than that of the fed group, but after fasting for 3–15 days, the expression of apela in A. baerii brain was significantly higher than that in the fed group. After refeeding apela mRNA expression was obviously reduced. These results suggest that apela plays a bidirectional role in feeding regulation of A. baerii , which may serve as a short‐term satiation factor and a long‐term hunger factor.

Aim Dead fine roots are crucial components of the carbon cycle in global forest ecosystems. Despite their importance, knowledge concerning geographical patterns of dead fine root pools (necromass) and factors influencing their dynamics remain scarce across the globe. Location Global. Methods We analysed 136 published case studies covering 169 forest sites located throughout the world to identify broad patterns of necromass and biomass (living fine root pools) and to determine the responses to climate, edaphic gradients and stand properties. Results W‐shaped pattern of forest necromass with latitude, from the Southern Hemisphere via the equator to the Northern Hemisphere, was observed. Specifically, more necromass was found at both low (tropical forests) and high latitudes (boreal forests), whereas less necromass was found at mid latitudes (temperate forests), which is in line with patterns of carbon stocks in soils at the global scale. Broad‐leaf forests had greater necromass than needle‐leaf forests, and fine root necromass of the two forest types showed opposing trends in response to shifts in mean annual precipitation and different sensitivities to changes in mean annual temperature and edaphic properties (e.g. soil carbon/nitrogen ratio and pH ). Necromass increased with soil organic layer thickness and stand age for both forest types. Main conclusions The hemispheric symmetrical necromass distribution is likely determined by changes in environmental conditions across latitudes. Different responses of dead fine roots in broad‐leaf and needle‐leaf forests may be caused by their distinct allocation and accumulation of carbon in relation to climate and to edaphic and forest characteristics at the global scale. Our results have important implications for accurate quantification and modelling of forest ecosystem carbon stocks and cycles and for assessments of their sensitivity and stability in a changing climate.

Geological effects influence population genetic connectivity more than Pleistocene glaciations in the water strider Metrocoris sichuanensis (Insecta: Hemiptera: Gerridae) - Zhen Ye; Juanjuan Yuan; Min Li; Jakob Damgaard; Pingping Chen; Chenguang Zheng; Haibin Yu; Siying Fu; Wenjun Bu (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim Palaeoclimatic and palaeogeological events have been identified as two main factors that influence the genetic structuring of extant organisms. We studied a montane stream‐dwelling insect, Metrocoris sichuanensis , to explore the relative roles played by these two factors in population genetic connectivity. Location Sichuan Basin, China. Methods Mitochondrial ( COI , COII , Cytb, 16S) and nuclear ( EF ‐1α, ITS 1) markers were sequenced from 208 individuals. Suitable habitat shifts from the Last Glacial Maximum ( LGM ) to the present were predicted through fine‐tuned ecological niche modelling ( ENM ). Phylogenetic and phylogeographical analyses were conducted to reveal the population genetic structure. Intraspecific divergence and expansion times were estimated using beast . Finally, the least cost path ( LCP ) method coupled with migrate analysis was used to identify possible dispersal corridors and estimate the asymmetric gene flow. Results Our ENM results suggested that population habitat connectivity did not change both in the LGM and current conditions. Whole haplotypes were separated into four highly supported clades/haplogroups that exhibited strong geographical structure. The splitting events between the four lineages likely date back to the Early Pleistocene. Bayesian skyline plot ( BSP ) indicated a moderate demographic growth from the LGM to the present. A putative dispersal corridor was detected along the Longmen Mountains thrust belt, with unidirectional gene flow from north to south. Main conclusion Our findings support the geographical isolation of the genetic lineages and a deep early Pleistocene split in M. sichuanensis . Landscape connectivity analysis incorporating the genetic data and the ENM prediction revealed that population genetic connectivity was strongly associated with stable climatic habitats shaped by complex topography. The drainage system might have assisted the rapid movement of populations along the Longmen Mountains thrust belt. A strategy for researching the population genetic connectivity of narrow endemics, such as M. sichuanensis , in global biodiversity hotspots is proposed and discussed in this paper.

Dehydroandrographolide enhances innate immunity of intestinal tract through up-regulation the expression of hBD-2 - Wen-Bi Xiong; Zhen-Jun Shao; Yao Xiong; Jian Chen; Yun Sun; Ling Zhu; Li-Ming Zhou (DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015)
Background Dehydroandrographolide (DA) is one of major active components in the well-known oriental herbal medicine Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f) Nees which belongs to the Acanthaceae family. DA is used for the treatment of infections in China. However, DA has not been found to significantly inhibit bacterial and viral growth directly. The current study investigates the effect of DA on the expression of human β –defensin-2 (hBD-2) in human intestinal epithelial cells and the possible signaling pathways. Methods Human intestinal epithelial HCT-116 cells were incubated with 1–100 μM DA for 2–24 h. RT–PCR and Western blot were used to assess the expression of hBD-2. The specific inhibitors were used and the levels of phosphorylation of signaling molecules were detected for dissecting the signaling pathways leading to the induction of hBD-2. Results MTT assay showed there was no obvious cytotoxicity for HCT-116 cells by 1–100 μM DA treatment. RT-PCR and Western blot assays showed that DA (1–100 μM) could up-regulate the expression of hBD-2, and the effect lasted longer than 24 h. By using SB203580 and SB202190 (inhibitors of p38), the enhancement of hBD-2 expression were significantly attenuated. However, inhibitor of ERK and inhibitor of JNK could not block the effect of DA. Furthermore, Western blot found activation of p38 but not ERK and JNK in DA-treated HCT-116 cells. Conclusion The results suggested that DA enhanced innate immunity of intestinal tract by up-regulating the expression of hBD-2 through the p38 MAPK pathways.
