Sailboat Test Arena (STAr): A Remotely Accessible Platform for Robotic Sailboat Research - Qinbo Sun; Weimin Qi; Cheng Liang; Bairun Lin; Francesco Maurelli; Huihuan Qian (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Autonomous sailing robots have attracted much attention, but challenges arise due to the sailing tests require an environment with both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic fields and a sufficient number of sailing robots in readiness. A remotely accessible platform with the advantages of low cost, easy operation and high efficiency is the preferred method to solve this dilemma. Consistent with this goal is the design of Sailboat Test Arena (STAr), a remotely accessible platform for sailing robot design verification, autonomous algorithms validation and sailing control practices. All three parts require extensive testing in real water environments. Hereby, for testers around the world, STAr can be accessed without time difference. A variety of local and remote tests have been conducted in the STAr platform at various location around the world. The results show that STAr is a remotely accessible and effective tool in data collection and skill transfer. With continuous adoption and optimization, STAr will continue to serve as a tool to further promote low-cost, high-efficiency and diverse sailing research, and provide opportunities for more people to experience sailing.

Transcriptome analysis of the muscle of fast‐ and slow‐growing phoenix barb ( Spinibarbus denticulatus denticulatus ) - Xi Xie; Xianping Liao; Zhengsheng Xu; Wenlang Liang; Yilin Su; Li Lin; Jungang Xie; Weiqiang Lin (Journal of Fish Biology, 2023)
Growth rate is a commercial trait in aquaculture that is influenced by multiple factors, among which genetic composition plays a fundamental role in the growth rate of species. The phoenix barb ( Spinibarbus denticulatus denticulatus ) is a widely distributed freshwater fish species in South China. Although S. d. denticulatus is reared in South China, the molecular mechanisms underlying the growth rate of the species remain unclear. Here, the authors performed transcriptome analysis of muscle tissues from fast‐growing (FG) and slow‐growing (SG) S. d. denticulatus at 90, 150, and 300 days after hatch (DAH) to elucidate its growth mechanism. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two groups were enriched in pathways related to muscle growth, glycolysis, and energy and lipid metabolism. Nonetheless, a higher number of DEGs were identified in the FG vs. SG groups at 90 and 300 DAH compared with 150 DAH. DEGs identified at 90 DAH were mainly enriched in the GH/IGF axis, PI3K‐Akt signalling pathway, AMPK signalling pathway and lipid metabolism highly expressed in FG individuals. DEGs identified at 300 DAH were mainly enriched in PI3K‐Akt signalling pathway, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, gene translation and lipid metabolism. In addition, some genes were expressed during the early growth stage in FG individuals but expressed during the late stage in SG individuals, indicating considerable variations in the expression profiles of growth‐related genes at different developmental stages. Overall, these findings contribute to the understanding of the growth mechanism of S. d. denticulatus , which would be useful for the propagation of fast‐growing breeds.

Unique bacterial communities and lifestyles in deep ocean blue holes: Insights from the Yongle Blue Hole (South China Sea) - Shun Zhou; Jiwen Liu; Peng Yao; Liang Fu; Zuosheng Yang; Yulin Zhang; Rui Du; Chao Jia; Lin Chen; Jinchang Liang; Xiaolei Wang; Xiaochong Shi; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Deep ocean blue holes possess steep physicochemical gradients, especially low dissolved oxygen concentration, which shape the extraordinary microbial communities. However, the environmental responses of microorganisms with different lifestyles and knowledge of culturable microorganisms in the blue holes are still unknown. Here, we investigated the bacterial community structure with different lifestyles of the world’s deepest blue hole - the Yongle Blue Hole (YBH) in the South China Sea using both culture-dependent and -independent methods. YBH can be divided by oxygen content into an oxic zone, a suboxic zone and two anoxic zones. The abundance of bacteria, archaea, genes dsrB and soxB were all higher in the free-living (FL) lifestyle than in the particle-associated (PA) lifestyle, yet the diversity and richness of PA bacteria were higher than that of FL bacteria. More Gammaproteobacteria and less Alphaproteobacteria , Chloroflexi and Nitrospinae were observed within the FL fraction than within the PA fraction. The relative abundance of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) was dominant between 100-140 m (anoxic zone I) in YBH, with a maximum of 90.0% (140 m FL fraction). The SOB in YBH were mainly colorless sulfur bacteria and purple non-sulfur bacteria, of which Thiomicrorhabdus and Sulfurimonas were the main representatives. In addition, a total of 294 bacterial strains were isolated on a variety of media and culture conditions, and 22.2% (18/81) of anaerobic strains were identified as potential novel species. Our study reveals a distinction between FL and PA bacteria in YBH. It contributes to further understanding of the bacterial community in deep ocean blue holes, and provides bacterial resources for subsequent studies on their adaptation to extreme marine environments.

Time-frequency analysis framework for understanding non-stationary and multi-scale characteristics of sea-level dynamics - Xindan Liang; Yinyi Lin; Renguang Wu; Gang Li; Nicole Khan; Rui Liu; Hua Su; Shan Wei; Hongsheng Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Rising sea level caused by global climate change may increase extreme sea level events, flood low-lying coastal areas, change the ecological and hydrological environment of coastal areas, and bring severe challenges to the survival and development of coastal cities. Hong Kong is a typical economically and socially developed coastal area. However, in such an important coastal city, the mechanisms of local sea-level dynamics and their relationship with climate teleconnections are not well explained. In this paper, Hong Kong tide gauge data spanning 68 years was documented to study the historical sea-level dynamics. Through the analysis framework based on Wavelet Transform and Hilbert Huang Transform, non-stationary and multi-scale features in sea-level dynamics in Hong Kong are revealed. The results show that the relative sea level (RSL) in Hong Kong has experienced roughly 2.5 cycles of high-to-low sea-level transition in the past half-century. The periodic amplitude variation of tides is related to Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). RSL rise and fall in eastern Hong Kong often occur in La Niña and El Niño years, respectively. The response of RSL to the PDO and ENSO displays a time lag and spatial heterogeneity in Hong Kong. Hong Kong's eastern coastal waters are more strongly affected by the Pacific climate and current systems than the west. This study dissects the non-stationary and multi-scale characteristics of relative sea-level change and helps to better understand the response of RSL to the global climate system.

(European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2023)
We describe the opportunistic infections (OIs) of HIV/AIDS to understand the spectrum, mortality, and frequency of multiple coinfected OIs among HIV/AIDS patients in southern China, where OIs are severe. We carried out a retrospective cohort study of hospitalized HIV-infected individuals at the Fourth People’s Hospital of Nanning, Guangxi, China, from Jan. 2011 to May. 2019. The chi-square test was used to analyze cross-infection; the Kaplan‒Meier analysis was used to compare mortality. A total of 12,612 HIV-infected patients were admitted to this cohort study. Among them, 8982 (71.2%) developed one or more OIs. The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 9.0%. Among the patients, 35.6% coinfected one OI, and 64.4% coinfected more than two OIs simultaneously. Almost half of the patients (60.6%) had CD4 + T-cell counts < 200 cells/μL. Pneumonia (39.8%), tuberculosis (35.3%), and candidiasis (28.8%) were the most common OIs. Coinfected cryptococcal meningitis and dermatitis are the most common combined OIs. The rate of anaemia (17.0%) was highest among those common HIV-associated complications. Multiple OIs are commonly found in hospitalized HIV/AIDS patients in southwestern China, which highlights the need for improved diagnosis and treatment.

Fast satellite selection algorithm for GNSS multi-system based on Sherman–Morrison formula - Junpeng Shi; Kezhao Li; Lin Chai; Lingfeng Liang; Chendong Tian; Keke Xu (GPS Solutions, 2023)
Efficient use of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) observations improves when applying rational satellite selection algorithms. By combining the Sherman–Morrison formula and singular value decomposition, a smaller-GDOP (geometric dilution of precision)-value method is proven for an increasing number of visible satellites. By combining this smaller-GDOP-value method with the maximum-volume-tetrahedron method, a new rapid satellite selection algorithm based on the Sherman–Morrison formula for GNSS multi-systems is proposed. The basic idea of the algorithm is as follows: First, the maximum-volume-tetrahedron method is used to obtain four initial visible satellites. Then, the other visible satellites are selected by using the smaller-GDOP-value method to reduce the GDOP value and improve the accuracy of the overall algorithm. When the number of included satellites reaches a certain value, the rate of GDOP decrease tends to approach zero. Considering the algorithm precision and the computation efficiency, reasonable thresholds and end of calculation condition equation are given, which can make the proposed algorithm autonomous. The reasonable thresholds and the end of calculation parameters are suggested by means of experiments. Under the thresholds and the end of calculation parameters, the algorithm has an adaptive functionality. Furthermore, the GDOP values of the algorithm are less than 2, indicating that this algorithm can meet one of the requirements of high-precision navigation. Moreover, compared with the computation complexity values of the optimal GDOP estimation method, which includes all visible satellites, the values of the new algorithm are about half, indicating that this algorithm has a rapid performance. These findings verify that the proposed satellite selection algorithm based on the Sherman–Morrison formula provides autonomous functionality, high-performance computing, and high-accuracy results.

Transcriptome Analysis Provides an Overview of Genes Involved in the Peculiar Food Preference at First-Feeding Stage in Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) - Ling Li; Shu-Lin Tang; Shan He; Xu-Fang Liang (Fishes, 2022)
The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is an important economic fish species in China. Many carnivorous fish larvae feed on zooplankton or microdiets. However, the mandarin fish larvae feed on live prey fish exclusively, while refusing zooplankton or microdiets. A stable supply of palatable live prey fish results in high costs. Moreover, the application of live prey fish might bring the risk of pathogens. However, little is known about the genes underlying the food preference of mandarin fish larvae. Partial offspring of the domesticated strain could feed brine shrimp from three days post-hatching (dph), the open mouth day. In the present study, the mandarin fish larvae were randomly divided into three groups, then treated differently at 3 dph: (1) unfed; (2) fed with live prey fish; (3) fed with brine shrimp (Artemia). Differentially expressed genes were identified by RNA-seq. The differential expression of the transcription factors involved in retinal photoreceptor development and differentiation might contribute to the intake of brine shrimp in mandarin fish larvae. Meanwhile, the digestive enzyme genes involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion have been expressed in mandarin fish larvae at 3 dph, contributing to the digestion of ingested food. Our study provides an overview of genes and biological processes involved in the peculiar food preference at the first-feeding stage in mandarin fish larvae and has critical importance to the future application of non-fish live feeds in the culture of mandarin fish larvae.

Ocean exploration has always been an important strategic direction for the joint efforts of all mankind. Many countries in the world today are developing their own underwater autonomous explorers to better explore the seabed. Vision, as the core technology of autonomous underwater explorers, has a great impact on the efficiency of exploration. Different from traditional tasks, the lack of ambient light on the seabed makes the visual system more demanding. In addition, the complex terrain on the seabed and various creatures with different shapes and colors also make exploration tasks more difficult. In order to effectively solve the above problems, we combined the traditional models to modify the structure and proposed an algorithm for the super-resolution fusion of enhanced extraction features to perform semantic segmentation of seabed scenes. By using a structurally reparameterized backbone network to better extract target features in complex environments, and using subpixel super-resolution to combine multiscale feature semantic information, we can achieve superior ocean scene segmentation performance. In this study, multiclass segmentation and two-class segmentation tests were performed on the public datasets SUIM and DeepFish, respectively. The test results show that the mIoU and mPA indicators of our proposed method on SUIM reach 84.52% and 92.33%mPA, respectively. The mIoU and mPA on DeepFish reach 95.26% and 97.38%, respectively, and the proposed model achieves SOTA compared with state-of-the-art methods. The proposed model and code are exposed via Github 1 .

Coupling Relationship of Geomorphic Evolution and Marine Hydrodynamics in the Stage-Specific Development of Urban Bays: A Modelling Case Study in Quanzhou Bay (1954–2017), China - Xianbiao Xiao; Yunhai Li; Junjian Tang; Fusheng Luo; Fangfang Shu; Liang Wang; Jia He; Xiaochun Zou; Wenqi Chi; Yuting Lin; Binxin Zheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
With the development of social economy and human activities, the geomorphology and hydrodynamic conditions of coasts have been dramatically changed, causing serious environmental pollution and resource depletion. Taking Quanzhou Bay as an example, this study combined geomorphologic change with a hydrodynamic model to simulate the change in tidal currents in different periods. The results show a change in the coastline was the main cause of hydrodynamic change during the industrialization reform. During the past 70 years, the tidal prism decreased year by year, and the average velocity of the tidal current in the channel decreased by 33.7% and 30.8% at flood and ebb tide, respectively. In the early stages of industrialization, reclamation land was used in a single way. The tidal prism decreased by 22.2% and 29.8% in the spring and neap tide, respectively. In the middle and later stages, the tidal current velocity increased, and reclamation land was used in a variety of ways. In modern society, the reclamation land-use type was unitary. Based on this research, we show the influence of human activities on the evolution of the bay’s geomorphology and provide suggestions for the management of the bay.

Behavioral and transcriptomic changes in butenolide treated larvae of the cosmopolitan fouling bryozoan Bugulina (Bugula) neritina - Jin-You Liang; Yi-Fan Cheng; Xiao-Lin Huang; Ying Xu; Yue Him Wong; Yu Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The arborescent bryozoan Bugulina neritina is a cosmopolitan fouling species in sub-tropical to sub-temperate waters. The butenolide compound 5-octylfuran-2(5H)-one (hereafter named butenolide) reportedly inhibits larval settlement of B. neritina , but its effect on the larval behavioral and transcriptomic responses remained unclear. We report that 10 μg mL -1 or higher concentration of butenolide and/or prolonged treatment (10 h or longer) resulted in significant increase in larval mortality and prominent spiral larval swimming behavior. The transcriptomic analyses not only revealed up-regulation of typical stress-related protein genes in response to 10 mg mL -1 butenolide treatment, but also indicated up-regulation of mucin , synaptic genes and nitric oxide signaling genes. In addition, the expression of developmental genes and lipid biosynthesis genes were also affected. Overall, our larval behavior and transcriptome analyses reflected the impact of butenolide on the metabolism, neuronal and molecular signaling in B. neritina larvae.

Associations of metal profiles in blood with thyroiditis: a cross-sectional study - Yaosheng Luo; Huixian Zeng; Yanshi Ye; Genfeng Yu; Cheng Song; Siyang Liu; Xingying Chen; Yuqi Jiang; Hualin Duan; Yue Li; Shengqing He; Zhi Chen; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is increasingly common, and serological markers include thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb). To determine if selected metals influence thyroiditis antibody positivity, this cross-sectional study investigated associations between metals and thyroiditis antibody status. Healthy individuals ( n = 1104) completed a questionnaire and underwent checkups of anthropometric parameters, thyroid function status, and levels of seven metals in blood (magnesium, iron, calcium, copper, zinc, manganese, and lead). Associated profiles of glyco- and lipid metabolism were also established. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis were applied to adjudge associations between metals and TPOAb and TgAb status. It was found that, after adjusting for likely cofounding factors, participants with antibody positivity had significantly lower serum concentrations of magnesium and iron. When serum magnesium levels were analyzed in quartiles, the odds ratios of quartile 4 were 0.329–fold (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.167–0647) and 0.259-fold (95% CI 0.177–0.574) that of quartile 1 regarding TPOAb and TgAb positivity ( P = 0.004, 0.003). After adjustment, the RCS analysis detected nonlinear associations between iron and TPOAb and TgAb positivity ( P < 0.01, both). In stratified analyses, these associations regarding magnesium and iron remained for women of reproductive age, but not for postmenopausal women and men. We conclude that lower serum levels of magnesium and iron are associated with incremental positivity of thyroiditis antibodies and may be among the most important metals contributing to AIT in women of reproductive age.

Xenoestrogen Status of Wuling Farm to Surrounding Water Bodies: An Application of Biochemical Parameters Using Onychostoma barbatulum - Lin-Yan Liao; Hui-Ling Cheng; Shu-Yin Wang; Shih-Hsiung Liang; Da-Ji Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The aim of this study was to apply biochemical parameters to Onychostoma barbatulum to understand whether Wuling Farm activities have caused organic pollution from xenoestrogens to flow into surrounding streams and thereby affected area aquatic ecosystems. Individuals of the Taiwan shovel-jaw carp (O. barbatulum) were collected by fyke netting in the Cijiawan, Kaoshan, and Yusheng Rivers in the protected area of Shei-Pa National Park and in the Ikawan River outside the protected areas from 4–5 June 2015 to 20–21 September 2015. The collected male individuals of O. barbatulum were divided into two groups. In the first group monooxygenase (Mon) activity, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity, and vitellogenin (VTG) concentration in the liver were measured right after they were captured. Those in the second group were acclimated for 14 days and then exposed to 0 (control) or 10 ng/L 17β-estradiol for 10 days and then measured for changes in Mon, GST, and VTG in their livers. The value of VTG concentrations in O. barbatulum individuals collected from the Ikawan River was 2.12 ± 1.62 μg PO42+/g protein, which was the highest among all samples, followed by those collected from the Yusheng River (0.78 ± 1.00 μg PO42+/g protein). Individuals collected from the Yusheng River had the highest liver Mon activity (4.16 ± 1.08△A650/30 min/g protein) and the highest GST activity (1.58 ± 1.13 △A340/20 min/g protein), followed by those from the Ikawan River (Mon: 3.63 ± 1.13 △A650/30 min/g protein; GST: 1.24 ± 0.73 △A340/20 min/g protein). Comprehensive analyses showed that Mon and GST activities and VTG concentrations in livers measured right after being collected were lower than individuals exposed to 10 ng 17β-estradiol/L in the laboratory. Induced VTG concentrations were 9.87 ± 0.89 μg PO42+/g protein, Mon activity 8.02 ± 1.74 △A650/30 min/g protein, and GST activity 3.24 ± 0.62 △A340/20 min/g protein, indicating that farming activities have not significantly affected these aquatic organisms. However, pollution sources are still releasing pollutants containing xenoestrogens into the Yusheng River and Ikawan River. The impact of xenoestrogens is worthy of continuous long-term follow-up monitoring.

The amount of natural gas contained in the world’s gas hydrate accumulations is enormous, but these estimates remain highly speculative. So far, it is still challenging to locate spatial distribution of marine gas hydrate and quantitatively characterize the evaluation parameters and systematic improvement of evaluation systems. Considering the systematic review of the key accumulation factors, such as heat flow, deposition rate and total organic carbon in the typical passive continental margin, the evaluation results of global marine gas hydrate resources were analyzed based on the characteristics of gas hydrate geology, geophysics and geochemistry anomalies in the South China Sea. We analyze the problems on the evaluation of marine gas hydrate resources, probing into the geological characteristics and distribution laws of marine gas hydrate resources in the South China Sea, and estimate the parameters for in-place resource evaluation, in which the volume method based on Monte Carlo probability was used to evaluate the gas hydrate potential resources in the South China Sea. The probability distribution ranges from 37.6 billion (with 90% probability) to 117.7 billion (with 10% probability) tons of oil equivalent, with an expected value of 74.4 billion tons of oil equivalent. The study results show that the gas hydrate resource density in the South China Sea is similar to that in the typical sea areas, and the estimated global resources are basically consistent with the assessment results at this stag; this shows that the South China Sea has great potential for gas hydrate resources. The research results can provide guidance for the evaluation of global climate change and the exploration and development of hydrate resources.

Application of the prenatal BACs-on-Beads™ assay for rapid prenatal detection of sex chromosome mosaicism - Min Zhang; LingJi Chen; Meihuan Chen; Yan Wang; Bin Liang; Na Lin; Xiaoqing Wu; Linshuo Wang; Liangpu Xu; Hailong Huang (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2022)
The prenatal BACs-on-Beads™ (BoBs) assay was introduced for rapid detection of abnormalities of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y and specific nine significant microdeletion syndromes. The ability of prenatal BoBs to detect mosaicism ranged from 20 to 40%. However, there have been no prenatal studies of sex chromosome mosaicism in prenatal BoBs. Therefore, the present study was performed with an aim to uncover the detection level of sex chromosome mosaicism that application of prenatal BoBs assay, and then to assess the sensitivity of prenatal BoBs assay, thereby improving the prenatal diagnostic accuracy. A total of 31 samples of amniotic fluid (AF) and umbilical cord blood (UCB) for prenatal diagnosis were collected, and the results were confirmed through karyotyping, single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP-array) and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq). 23 cases of sex chromosome mosaicism were prompted abnormal by prenatal BoBs, the minimum detection level of mosaicism was about 6% as detected by karyotype. The overall sensitivity of prenatal BoBs in the detection of sex chromosome mosaicism was 74.2% (23/31). This study evaluated the effectiveness of prenatal BoBs for detecting sex chromosome mosaicism in prenatal diagnosis, and the results will provide valuable information for genetic counseling.

Fatty Acid Profile of Jumbo Squid (Dosidicus gigas) off the Peruvian Exclusive Economic Zone: Revealing the Variability of Feeding Strategies - Guanyu Hu; Zhenfang Zhao; Bilin Liu; Dongming Lin; Jiawei Liang; Zhou Fang; Xinjun Chen (Fishes, 2022)
Jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas play a critical role in the marine ecosystems and are an important commercial species in the East Pacific. Generally, three size groups have been distinguished on the basis of the mantle length (ML) of an adult. Here, fatty acid (FA) analyses of muscle tissues were used to explore the feeding strategies of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone in terms of different size groups and sexes. There was no significant difference in fatty acid composition between the small- and medium-sized groups, whereas the large-sized group differed significantly from other groups. The higher content of C20:4n6 and (C18:2n6 + C18:3n3) indicates that the large-sized group may feed more frequently in nearshore and deep waters. Furthermore, the niches of the three size groups were consistent with the results of fatty acid composition, with the large-sized group occupying the widest trophic niche, followed by the medium-sized group and then the small-sized group. In addition, there was evidence of trophic niche overlap between the small and medium groups. In terms of sexual variability of the small and medium groups, the fatty acid composition significantly differed between females and males. In terms of sexual variation of the large group, the fatty acid composition between females and males was similar, indicating that similar feeding strategies may be adopted by them. This study revealed the variability of the feeding strategies of three size groups of D. gigas off the Peruvian exclusive economic zone.

Underestimation of biogenic silica sinking flux due to dissolution in sediment traps: A case study in the South China Sea - Wen Liang; Lihua Ran; Zhi Yang; Martin G. Wiesner; Yuzhao Liang; Lin Sun; Jianfang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The dissolved silicate concentrations in the supernatant of sediment trap sampling bottles retrieved from deep water (1000-3000 m) at four stations in the South China Sea (SCS) were measured to calculate the underestimated flux of biogenic silica (bSi) in sinking particles due to bSi dissolution. High dissolved silicate concentrations in the supernatant, ranging from 122.6 to 1365.8 μmol/L, indicated significant dissolution of particulate bSi in the sampling bottles. Underestimation of the bSi flux in the SCS by ~2% to ~34% (average: ~10%) due to bSi dissolution was revealed, and the degree of underestimation increased with decreasing total bSi flux. The amount of bSi dissolved within the sampling series at each station was generally positively correlated with dissolution time and to a certain extent influenced by the bSi amount collected by the sampling bottles under a low bSi sinking flux. Apparently stronger bSi dissolution was found at two of the four stations due to relatively high bSi dissolution rates, which were possibly related to a higher reactive surface area of the bSi or bacterial activity. Overall, our results demonstrated that the considerable bSi dissolution in sediment trap sampling bottles should not be ignored, especially in the low-productivity oligotrophic ocean, and bSi flux calibration via measurement of the dissolved silicate in sampling bottles is necessary. To reduce bSi flux underestimation due to the deployment of time-series sediment traps, larger-volume sampling bottles should be avoided in the oligotrophic open ocean, and sinking particle samples should be analyzed as soon as the sediment traps are recovered.

Influence of Indo-Pacific ocean currents on the distribution and demographic patterns of the brown seaweed Sargassum polycystum in tropical east Asia - Yanshuo Liang; Shuangshuang Zhang; Changxiang Yan; Stefano G. A. Draisma; Attachai Kantachumpoo; Zhao Li; Yude Lin; Jiang Zhu; Jie Zhang; Delin Duan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Long-distance drifting of seaweeds driven by ocean currents is an ideal model for exploring population-level genetic connectivity and phylogeographic structure. In the Indo-Pacific convergence region, we integrated phylogeographic and ocean current data and Lagrangian particle simulations to explore how the ocean currents contributed to the biogeographical patterns and population genetic connectivity of Sargassum polycystum . The oceanographic transport and direction of gene flow was in line with contemporary ocean currents. The S. polycystum geographical dispersal from glacial refugia homogenized the footprint of genetic divergence. The multidisciplinary intersection provides insights into the evolutionary history and biogeographic conservation of tropical seaweeds in the Indo-Pacific convergence region.

Protein kinase Ime2 is associated with mycelial growth, conidiation, osmoregulation, and pathogenicity in Fusarium oxysporum - Jiling Xiao; Yi Zhang; Ke Yang; Yanying Tang; Lin Wei; Erming Liu; Zhihuai Liang (Archives of Microbiology, 2022)
Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum is one of the most serious diseases impairing watermelon yield and quality. Inducer of meiosis 2 (Ime2) is the founding member of a family of serine/threonine protein kinases and plays important roles in yeasts and other filamentous fungi. In this study, we analyzed the functions of Fo Ime2, the ortholog of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ime2 in F. oxysporum f.sp. niveum . The FoIme2 -deleted mutants exhibited obvious morphological abnormalities, including slower vegetative growth, more branches in the edge hyphae and a reduction in conidia production. Compared to the wild type, the mutants were hypersensitive to the osmotic stressor NaCl but were more insensitive to the membrane stressor SDS. The deletion of FoIme2 also caused a reduction in pathogenicity. Transcriptional analysis revealed that Fo Ime2 acts downstream of Fo Opy2 which is an upstream sensor of the MAPK kinase cascade. These results indicate that Fo Ime2 is important in the development and pathogenicity of F. oxysporum, and provide new insight for the analysis of the pathogenic mechanism of F. oxysporum.

Structural Optimization of a Muffler for a Marine Pumping System Based on Numerical Calculation - Houlin Liu; Jiawei Lin; Runan Hua; Liang Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In order to eliminate the noise in the pumping system and prolong the service life of the equipment, an optimization design method for a muffler structure is proposed. The inside of the muffler is designed with a water guide cone which plays the role of diverting the fluid in the pipeline. The muffler shell, the wall surface of the water guide cone, and the circular bottom plate adopt a porous structure. In order to achieve the best sound suppression effect of the muffler structure, the effects of different channel expansion angles and the flow area on the performance of muffler are studied the results show that when the flow channel expansion angle of the muffler is 145° and the flow area ratio is 3 times, the noise elimination performance of the muffler is the best. The structural optimization of the muffler studied in this paper is of great significance to noise reduction in the pumping system.

Microcosmic Characteristics of Hydrate Formation and Decomposition in the Different Particle Size Sediments Captured by Cryo-SEM - Jingsheng Lu; Decai Lin; Dongliang Li; Deqing Liang; Long Wen; Siting Wu; Yiqun Zhang; Yong He; Lingli Shi; Youming Xiong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Sand production and sand control studies in non-diagenetic reservoirs are the weak point in the conventional petroleum industry. However, natural gas hydrate (NGH) mainly exists in non-diagenetic strata, and sand production occurs during exploitation, which restricts the safe and sustainable production of NGH. To study the microcosmic characteristics of sand production, the hydrate decomposition behaviours in the sediments were captured by the Cryo-SEM method. The micromorphology of different particle sizes of sand samples containing NGH (the sand median diameter d50 is 150, 87, 55, 38, 24, and 13 µm) and the microcosmic processes of NGH decomposition were observed. Then, the microcosmic characteristics of sand production, during the decomposition process, were analysed. (1) The gas hydrate decomposition increases pore space and reduces reservoir strength; the expansion action of the decomposition of water and gas, the softening action of the decomposition of water, and the compression action by overlying stress (crustal stress) promoted sand production, deformation, and subsidence of the NGH reservoirs in the mining process. (2) The decomposition of NGH has a more significant impact on sediments with smaller particle sizes. (3) The particle size of NGH may be larger than the particle size of the mud in the reservoirs, and acting as “gravel” plays a particular role in sand control. Therefore, the particle size of NGH cannot be ignored in the design of sand control. (4) It has been revealed, and verified, that sputtering (splashing) is a unique process of sand production caused by NGH decomposition. In other words, the rapid expansion of the volume of the decomposed gas and water from NGH leads to the eruption and sputtering of hydrate particles, providing the driving force for sand migration, which is a different process of sand production than in conventional oil and gas.

Comparative Transcriptomics of Gonads Reveals the Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Gonadal Development in Giant Freshwater Prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) - Guang Yang; Zhendong Qin; Zhijie Lu; Rishen Liang; Lijuan Zhao; Gan Pan; Li Lin; Kai Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is a prawn that has economic significance throughout the world. It exhibits sex-related growth dimorphism, whereby the males grow significantly more rapidly than the females. Therefore, a study on the molecular regulatory mechanism, which underlies the sexual differentiation of M. rosenbergii, is of both scientific and commercial importance. However, a scarcity of genomic and transcriptomic resources severely limits our knowledge of the sexual differentiation mechanisms in M. rosenbergii. Here, transcriptome sequencing of several gonadic samples of males and females in M. rosenbergii was performed to investigate the molecular basis underlying gonadal development. Our results showed that 2149 unigenes presented as differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the ovaries of females compared to the testes of males, which contained 484 down-regulated and 1665 up-regulated genes. Enrichment analysis of DEGs revealed many of these genes to be related to sexual differentiation and gonadal development. From our transcriptome analyses, and as confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR, male-related genes (Mrr, MRPINK, IR, IAGBP, TESK1, and dsx) in the testes were significantly up-regulated, and female-related genes (ERR, Sxl3, cyclinB, Dmrt99B, PPP2A, and ADCY9) in the ovaries were also significantly up-regulated. This indicates the potential role these genes play in the gonadal development of M. rosenbergii. Furthermore, multiple signal transduction pathways relating to gonadal maturation and spermatogenesis, including MAPK, were identified herein. Our data also supports previous ideas that IAG and IAGBP-IR signaling schemes could help in the regulation of testis’ development in M. rosenbergii and the ERR gene could regulate ovarian development by affecting the expression of cyclinB, PPP2A, and ADCY9. The data from this study provides incredibly usefully genomic resources for future research on the sexual differentiation and practical aquaculture of M. rosenbergii.

MoOpy2 is essential for fungal development, pathogenicity, and autophagy in Magnaporthe oryzae - Ying‐Ying Cai; Jing‐Yi Wang; Xi‐Yu Wu; Shuang Liang; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Lin Li; Jian‐Ping Lu; Xiao‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Cheng Lin (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary The development and pathogenicity of the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , the causal agent of destructive rice blast disease, require it to perceive external environmental signals. Opy2, an overproduction‐induced pheromone‐resistant protein 2, is a crucial protein for sensing external signals in Saccharomyces cerevisiae . However, the biological functions of the homologue of Opy2 in M. oryzae are unclear. In this study, we identified that MoOPY2 is involved in fungal development, pathogenicity, and autophagy in M. oryzae . Deletion of MoOPY2 resulted in pleiotropic defects in hyphal growth, conidiation, germ tube extension, appressorium formation, appressorium turgor generation, and invasive growth, therefore leading to attenuated pathogenicity. Furthermore, MoOpy2 participates in the Osm1 MAPK pathway and the Mps1 MAPK pathway by interacting with the adaptor protein Mst50. The interaction sites of Mst50 and MoOpy2 colocalized with the autophagic marker protein MoAtg8 in the preautophagosomal structure sites (PAS). Notably, the Δ Moopy2 mutant caused cumulative MoAtg8 lipidation and rapid GFP‐MoAtg8 degradation in response to nitrogen starvation, showing that MoOpy2 is involved in the negative regulation of autophagy activity. Taken together, our study revealed that MoOpy2 of M. oryzae plays an essential role in the orchestration of fungal development, appressorium penetration, autophagy and pathogenesis.

Coupling Relationship of Human Activity and Geographical Environment in Stage-Specific Development of Urban Coastal Zone: A Case Study of Quanzhou Bay, China (1954–2020) - Xianbiao Xiao; Yunhai Li; Fangfang Shu; Liang Wang; Jia He; Xiaochun Zou; Wenqi Chi; Yuting Lin; Binxin Zheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Owing to the development of the social economy, the geographical environment and ocean utilization patterns of urban coastal zones have changed. This change, in turn, has influenced the socio-economic development of urban coastal zones. Based on the Geographic Information System technology, the area, coastline length, and shoreland use function of reclamation areas were obtained from the geographic charts (1954–2020) and remote sensing data (1988–2017) of Quanzhou Bay. In this study, we analyzed the geomorphologic change process and the relationship between land use patterns and economic development in Quanzhou Bay from the perspectives of hydrodynamics, sediments, and human activity. Our results indicated that over the past 70 years, the bay area has reduced by 21.5%. The length of the coastline decreased from 208.36 km in 1959 to 149.11 km in 1988, whereas the shape index of the bay (SIB) decreased from 3.09 to 2.41 during the same period. Between 1988 and 2017, the coastline increased to 162.91 km, causing the SIB to increase to 2.72. The artificial index of the bay increased from 0.28 in 1959 to 0.90 in 2017. The intensity of bay the development (IBD) first increased from 0.27 in 1959 to 0.77 in 2006. During the transition to a more modern society (2006 to present), the IBD slightly decreased to 0.73 in 2017. Affected by human activity, the transformation of the reclaimed land in Quanzhou Bay can be divided into four stages that are closely linked to the economic development in the region. In the early industrialization period, reclaimed land in the region was used for agricultural production, whereas in the mid-industrialization period, it was gradually transformed into a combination of industrial (29.8%) and agricultural (56.1%) lands. In the later period of industrialization, the reclaimed land was gradually converted into urban industrial and port lands. Finally, with further refinement and upgrading of economic and industrial structures, the socio-economic and environmental benefits from coastal reclamation projects have been increasing, whereas the proportion of economic benefits (in the total benefits) has been decreasing. The results of this study can provide decision-making references for the optimization of utilization patterns and the economic development of reclamation lands in coastal areas.

Projected temperature and precipitation changes using the LARS‐WG statistical downscaling model in the Shire River Basin, Malawi - Sheila Kavwenje; Lin Zhao; Liang Chen; Evance Chaima (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
This study analyzes local‐scale temperature and precipitation projections in the Shire River Basin (SRB) in Malawi using 10 global circulation models (GCMs) available in the coupled model intercomparison project phase 5 (CMIP5), under two representative concentration pathways (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). For nine stations in the study area, large‐scale maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin) and precipitation data from the selected GCMs were downscaled by the sixth version of the Long Ashton Research Station Weather Generator (LARS‐WG6). The mean seasonal and annual change projections for Tmax, Tmin and precipitation during two future periods, that is, the middle future (2041–2070) and late future (2071–2100) periods were analyzed. Modelling results demonstrated that the LARS‐WG model is capable of simulating temperature more accurately than precipitation in the SRB. All 10 GCMs revealed that continually rising temperatures are anticipated in the study area; however, the projected magnitude of change varied across GCMs and between RCPs. Generally, the increase in average Tmax and Tmin was observed to be higher under RCP 8.5 compared with RCP 4.5 due to unmitigated greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). Future precipitation change results showed more complexity and uncertainty than for temperature; not all GCMs agree on whether there will be positive or negative changes in precipitation and no systematic variations under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 were observed during the two future time period, illustrating that both GCMs and RCPs are important sources of the relatively large uncertainties in future precipitation projections in the SRB. Thus, this study indicated that uncertainties constrained by both GCMs and RCPs are crucial and need to always be considered when executing climate impact studies and adaptation, particularly at river basin level.

The brown root rot fungus Phellinus noxius affects microbial communities in different root‐associated niches of Ficus trees - Tse‐Yen Liu; Chao‐Han Chen; Yu‐Liang Yang; Isheng J. Tsai; Ying‐Ning Ho; Chia‐Lin Chung (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Brown root rot (BRR) caused by Phellinus noxius is a destructive tree disease in tropical and subtropical areas. To understand how BRR affects the composition of the plant rhizoplane‐enriched microbiota, the microbiomes within five root‐associated compartments (i.e., bulk soil, old/young root rhizosphere soil, old/young root tissue) of Ficus trees naturally infected by P. noxius were investigated. The level of P. noxius infection was determined by quantitative PCR. Illumina sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer and 16S rRNA revealed that P. noxius infection caused a significant reduction in fungal diversity in the bulk soil, the old root rhizosphere soil, and the old root tissue. Interestingly, Cosmospora was the only fungal genus positively correlated with P. noxius . The abundance and composition of dominant bacterial taxa such as Actinomadura , Bacillus , Rhodoplanes , and Streptomyces differed between BRR‐diseased and healthy samples. Furthermore, 838 isolates belonging to 26 fungal and 35 bacterial genera were isolated and tested for interactions with P. noxius . Antagonistic activities were observed for isolates of Bacillus , Pseudomonas , Aspergillus , Penicillium , and Trichoderma . Cellophane overlay and cellulose/lignin utilization assays suggested that Cosmospora could tolerate the secretions of P. noxius and that the degradation of lignin by P. noxius may create suitable conditions for Cosmorpora growth.

The Key Regulator of Necroptosis, RIP1 Kinase, Contributes to the Formation of Astrogliosis and Glial Scar in Ischemic Stroke - Yong-Ming Zhu; Liang Lin; Chao Wei; Yi Guo; Yuan Qin; Zhong-Sheng Li; Thomas A. Kent; Claire E. McCoy; Zhan-Xiang Wang; Yong Ni; Xian-Yong Zhou; Hui-Ling Zhang (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Necroptosis initiation relies on the receptor-interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1K). We recently reported that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of RIP1K produces protection against ischemic stroke-induced astrocytic injury. However, the role of RIP1K in ischemic stroke-induced formation of astrogliosis and glial scar remains unknown. Here, in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) rat model and an oxygen and glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/Re)-induced astrocytic injury model, we show that RIP1K was significantly elevated in the reactive astrocytes. Knockdown of RIP1K or delayed administration of RIP1K inhibitor Nec-1 down-regulated the glial scar markers, improved ischemic stroke-induced necrotic morphology and neurologic deficits, and reduced the volume of brain atrophy. Moreover, knockdown of RIP1K attenuated astrocytic cell death and proliferation and promoted neuronal axonal generation in a neuron and astrocyte co-culture system. Both vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) and its receptor VEGFR-3 were elevated in the reactive astrocytes; simultaneously, VEGF-D was increased in the medium of astrocytes exposed to OGD/Re. Knockdown of RIP1K down-regulated VEGF-D gene and protein levels in the reactive astrocytes. Treatment with 400 ng/ml recombinant VEGF-D induced the formation of glial scar; conversely, the inhibitor of VEGFR-3 suppressed OGD/Re-induced glial scar formation. RIP3K and MLKL may be involved in glial scar formation. Taken together, these results suggest that RIP1K participates in the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar via impairment of normal astrocyte responses and enhancing the astrocytic VEGF-D/VEGFR-3 signaling pathways. Inhibition of RIP1K promotes the brain functional recovery partially via suppressing the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar. Graphical Abstract

Summary The clinical and environmental infections caused by AmpC β‐lactamases have been increasingly reported recently. In this study, we characterize the novel chromosome‐encoded AmpC β‐lactamase SFDC‐1 identified in Serratia fonticola strain R28, which was isolated from a rabbit raised on a farm in southern China. SFDC‐1 shared the highest amino acid identity of 79.6% with the functionally characterized AmpC β‐lactamase gene bla YRC‐1 , although it had highly homologous functionally uncharacterized relatives in the same species from different sources, including some of the clinical significance. The cloned bla SFDC‐1 exhibited resistance to a broad spectrum of β‐lactam antibiotics, including most cephalosporins with the highest resistance to ampicillin, cefazolin and ceftazidime, with increased MIC levels ≥128‐fold compared with the control strains. The purified SFDC‐1 showed catalytic activities against β‐lactams with the highest catalytic activity to cefazolin. The genetic context of bla SFDC‐1 and its relatives was conserved in the chromosome, and no mobile genetic elements were found surrounding them.
