A Discontinuous Individual Growth Model of Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus and Its Application in the Nutrient Dynamic Simulation in an Intensive Mariculture Pond - Shipeng Dong; Xian Xu; Fan Lin; Liye Yu; Hongwei Shan; Fang Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Environmental problems such as organic pollution and eutrophication caused by highly intensive mariculture activities constrain the sustainable and healthy development of industry. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify the nutrient dynamics of aquaculture animals in order to reduce the risk of environmental pollution. In this study, a discontinuous individual growth model of Portunus trituberculatus in an intensive mariculture pond of P. trituberculatus – Penaeus japonicus – Sinonovacula constricta was constructed based on a dynamic energy budget theory combined with the index of condition factor. This model better predicted the growth and molting behavior of P. trituberculatus , and an acceptable fit was obtained through model parameterization using the Add-my-Pet (AmP) method (mean relative error = 0.058, symmetric mean squared error = 0.007). Ten molts were simulated over 180 days and generally coincided with the recorded molt time points. Based on this model and P. trituberculatus populations, the dynamic processes of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in ingestion, respiration, excretion, feces, residual feed, dead crabs, seeding, molt, and harvest were simulated. The carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus ingested during the 180-day culture period were 4,938.57 kg ha -1 , 1,255.88 kg ha -1 , and 244.16 kg ha -1 , respectively. Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal by harvest accounted for 1.06%, 1.03% and 0.62% of the total ingestion, respectively, while carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal by dead crabs accounted for 6.84%, 6.63%, and 4.04%, respectively, and carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus released from residual feed into the water accounted for 41.43% of the total feed. The accurate simulation of molting behavior and nutrient dynamics in this study provides a theoretical basis for molting risk prevention and environmental stress assessment of P. trituberculatus and provides basic modules and data support for the construction of the integrated mariculture ecosystem model.

Filter-Feeding Bivalve Weakens Food Competition Between Crustaceans (Portunus trituberculatus, Marsupenaeus japonicus) in Integrated Culture Ponds: Evidence From 18S rDNA Barcoding and Stable Isotope Analysis - Xian Xu; Shipeng Dong; Dongxu Zhang; Liye Yu; Weijia Pu; Yicheng Xie; Hongwei Shan; Fang Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In order to investigate the effects of razor clams ( Sinonovacula constricta ) on the food composition and isotopic niches of swimming crabs ( Portunus trituberculatus ) and kuruma shrimp ( Marsupenaeus japonicus ) in polyculture systems, this study analyzed 60 P . trituberculatus , 60 M. japonicus and 30 S. constricta to quantify the food sources, food source contributions, and isotopic niches of cultured organisms using 18S rDNA barcoding and stable isotope techniques. The results were as follows: (1) In the P. trituberculatus - M. japonicus (PM) polyculture system, the Sobs and Shannon-Wiener indices of the stomach contents of P. trituberculatus and M. japonicus were not significantly different ( P > 0.05). In the P. trituberculatus - M. japonicus - S. constricta polyculture (PMS) system, the Sobs and Shannon-Wiener indices of the stomach contents of P. trituberculatus and M. japonicus were also not significantly different ( P > 0.05), but the Sobs indices of P. trituberculatus in the PMS system were significantly higher than those in the PM system ( P < 0.05), M. japonicus shows a similar pattern. (2) 18S rDNA barcoding analysis showed the dominant taxa in the stomach contents of both P. trituberculatus and M. japonicus in the PM system were Trebouxiophyceae, Embryophyta and Rotifera, and the food overlap between them was 0.8992, which was significant (Q > 0.6). In the PMS system, the dominant taxa in the stomach contents of P. trituberculatus were Chrysophyceae, Intramacronucleata, and Embryophyta, and in M. japonicus were Chrysophyceae, Embryophyta, and Bacillariophyceae, in this system the food overlap was 0.2061, which was not significant (Q < 0.6). (3) Stable isotope analysis suggested, in both systems, the main food sources of P. trituberculatus and M. japonicus were iced trash fish, zooplankton, phytoplankton, and organic particulate matter (POM). Iced trash fish accounted 77.67% of food sources for P. trituberculatus and 69.42% for M. japonicus in the PM system, and 60.82% and 57.60% in the PMS system. (4) The isotopic niche overlap between P. trituberculatus and M. japonicus was 5.69% in the PM system and 1.21% in the PMS system. These results suggested food competition between P. trituberculatus and M. japonicus , and S. constricta can reduce the competition and isotopic niche overlap, improve the contribution of food sources such as phytoplankton. Razor clams also serve to purify the water and improve the utilization of iced trash fish by filtering phytoplankton (51.10%), POM (32.25%), SOM (7.47%), and iced trash fish (9.18%). Thus, P. trituberculatus - M. japonicus - S. constricta is a healthy and sustainable culture model.

Ocean Currents May Influence the Endolithic Bacterial Composition in Coral Skeletons - Po-Yu Liu; Sung-Yin Yang; Chih-Ying Lu; Naohisa Wada; Stéphane De Palmas; Shu-Shuo Yeh; Hideyuki Yamashiro; Sen-Lin Tang; Shan-Hua Yang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Coral endolithic microbes can be an important nutrients support for hosts while under stresses. Previous studies have found that the endolithic microbial composition of a single coral species can be biogeographical diverse. However, the potential environmental factors, such as salinity, temperature, pH, and nutrient, that might influence the composition of the endolithic microbes remain unclear. In this study, we used both amplicon sequence variants (ASV) and a kmer-based taxonomic unit (KTU) to characterize the endolithic bacterial constitution of Isopora spp. located in the western Pacific Ocean—where it is subjected to the Kuroshio Current (in Okinawa, Japan and Green Island, Taiwan)—and the South China Sea (Dongsha Atoll). The endolithic bacterial community compositions showed a significant geographical difference, and we suggest that the ocean current and primary productivity are the most essential environmental factors influencing the bacterial communities in the skeleton of Isopora spp. In addition, our results showed that, technically, compared to ASV, bacterial composition based on KTU avoids extreme data, making it a suitable tool for explaining the associations between microbes and environmental factors.

Mitogenomic phylogeny resolves Cuneopsis (Bivalvia: Unionidae) as polyphyletic: The description of two new genera and a new species - Xiao‐Ping Wu; Yu‐Ting Dai; Nan Yin; Feng‐Yue Shu; Zhong‐Guang Chen; Liang Guo; Chun‐Hua Zhou; Shan Ouyang; Xiao‐Chen Huang (Zoologica Scripta, 2022)
Freshwater mussels are known to have two types of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transmitted separately through oocytes and sperms, namely, maternal (F‐type) and paternal (M‐type) mtDNA. The additional suite of mitochondrial genes provides a great opportunity to resolve phylogenetically problematic relationships. East Asian freshwater mussels of the genus Cuneopsis were considered a compact group of taxa having wedge‐shaped shells. However, preliminary results from previous studies challenged the monophyly of Cuneopsis , and the exact phylogenetic relationships among Cuneopsis and its allied genera are yet to be determined with comprehensive species sampling. Here, we evaluated species boundaries in Cuneopsis based on COI barcoding and obtained 11 new F‐ and M‐type mitogenomes via genome skimming to elucidate the evolutionary history of Cuneopsis . COI barcode data supported the validity of all sampled six Cuneopsis species (missing C. kiangsiensis ). Our mitochondrial phylogenomic analyses confirmed that the currently recognized genus Cuneopsis sensu lato was polyphyletic, recovering three well‐supported clades. Molecular dating analysis suggested Cuneopsis s.l . diversified at ~58.06 million years ago in the Paleogene. Hereby, we propose two new genera, that is, Arcuneopsis gen. nov. and Pseudocuneopsis gen. nov. Additionally, we report a new species, Pseudocuneopsis sichuanensis sp. nov., from Chengdu, Sichuan, China, and a newly recorded species from China, Cuneopsis demangei .

Aeromonas veronii virulence and adhesion attenuation mediated by the gene aodp - Lei Zhang; Shengnan Jin; Chao Feng; Haichao Song; Sayed Haidar Abbas Raza; Huabo Yu; Liang Zhang; Teng Chi; Yanling Qi; Dongxing Zhang; Aidong Qian; Ning Liu; et al. (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Aeromonas veronii ( A. veronii ) is an opportunistic pathogen of fish–human–livestock, which poses a threat to the development of aquaculture. Based on our previous studies on proteomics and genomics, we found out that the aodp gene may be related to the virulence of A. veronii TH0426. However, aodp gene encodes a hypothetical protein with an unknown function, and its role in A. veronii TH0426 is not clear. Here, we first constructed a mutant strain (△‐ aodp ) to investigate the functional role of aodp in A. veronii TH0426. Compared with the wild strain A. veronii TH0426, the growth rate of strain △‐ aodp was slower and was resistant to neomycin and kanamycin, but sensitive to cephalexin. The swimming and swarming ability of △‐ aodp strain decreased, and the pathogenicity to mice decreased by 15.84‐fold. Besides, the activity of caspase‐3 in EPCs infected with △‐ aodp strain was 1.49‐fold lower than that of the wild strain. We examined 20 factors closely related to A. veronii virulence, among them 17 genes were down‐regulated as a result of aodp deficiency. This study laid a foundation for further studies on the pathogenesis of A. veronii .

Identification and characterization of Trpm4 gene involved in regulating Japanese flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ) inflammatory response - Shuo Li; Yu Feng; Tongtong Zhang; Shan Wang; Jinsheng Sun (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
The transient receptor potential (TRP) melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a widely expressed Ca 2+ ‐impermeable cation channel involved in modulating inflammatory and immune responses in mammals. However, the role of TRPM4 channel in fish immunity remains unclear. In this report, from a comparative immunological point of view, we identified and characterized a Trpm4 gene from Japanese flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ) and analysed its potential role in regulating the fish inflammatory response. The Japanese flounder Trpm4 gene is expressed in a wide range of tissues and encodes a 1264‐amino acid protein which expresses on the cell surface and shares several conserved domains with its mammalian counterparts. In vitro inflammatory challenge and in vivo bacterial infection experiments revealed that Japanese flounder Trpm4 expression was significantly modulated following different immune challenges, indicating the implication of Trpm4 in the fish immune response. Overexpression of TRPM4 significantly attenuated LPS‐ and poly(I:C)‐induced pro‐inflammatory cytokine expression in Japanese flounder FG‐9307 cells. In contrast, pharmacological inhibition of the endogenous TRPM4 channel activity in Japanese flounder head kidney macrophages resulted in increased pro‐inflammatory cytokine expression following LPS and poly(I:C) stimulations. Taken together, these findings indicate that TRPM4 channels may play a conserved role in regulating inflammatory response(s) in fish.

Maternal Subclinical Hypothyroidism in Rats Impairs Spatial Learning and Memory in Offspring by Disrupting Balance of the TrkA/p75NTR Signal Pathway - Fan Zhang; Xinyue Lin; Aihua Liu; Jian Chen; Zhongyan Shan; Weiping Teng; Xiaohui Yu (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Maternal subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during pregnancy can adversely affect the neurodevelopment of the offspring. The balance of nerve growth factor (NGF)-related tropomyosin receptor kinase A/p75 neurotrophin receptor (TrkA/p75 NTR ) signaling in the hippocampus is important in brain development, and whether it affects cognitive function in maternal SCH’s offspring is not clear. In this study, we found that compared with the control (CON) group, expression of proliferation-related proteins [NGF, p-TrkA, phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2) and phospho-cAMP response element-binding protein (p-CREB)] decreased in the hippocampus of the offspring in the SCH group, overt hypothyroidism (OHT) group, and the group with levothyroxine (L-T 4 ) treatment for SCH from gestational day 17 (E17). In contrast, expression of apoptosis-related proteins [pro-NGF, p75 NTR , phospho-C-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK), p53, Bax and cleaved caspase-3] was increased. The two groups with treatment with L-T 4 for SCH from E10 and E13, respectively, showed no significant difference compared with the CON group. L-T 4 treatment enhanced relative expression of NGF by increasing NGF/proNGF ratio in offspring from maternal SCH rats. In conclusion, L-T 4 treatment for SCH from early pregnancy dramatically ameliorated cognitive impairment via TrkA/p75 NTR signaling, which involved activation of the neuronal proliferation and inhibition of neuronal apoptosis in SCH rats’ offspring.

Iron-Coupled Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane in Marine Sediments: A Review - Hailin Yang; Shan Yu; Hailong Lu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is one of the major processes of oxidizing methane in marine sediments. Up to now, extensive studies about AOM coupled to sulfate reduction have been conducted because SO42− is the most abundant electron acceptor in seawater and shallow marine sediments. However, other terminal electron acceptors of AOM, such as NO3−, NO2−, Mn(IV), Fe(III), are more energetically favorable than SO42−. Iron oxides, part of the major components in deep marine sediments, might play a significant role as an electron acceptor in the AOM process, mainly below the sulfate–methane interface, mediated by physiologically related microorganisms. Iron-coupled AOM is possibly the dominant non-sulfate-dependent AOM process to consume methane in marine ecosystems. In this review, the conditions for iron-coupled AOM are summarized, and the forms of iron oxides as electron acceptors and the microbial mechanisms are discussed.

Geographic and subsequent biotic isolations led to a diversity anomaly of section Heterotropa (genus Asarum : Aristolochiaceae) in insular versus continental regions of the Sino‐Japanese Floristic Region - Daiki Takahashi; Shota Sakaguchi; Yu Feng; Yuji Isagi; Ying‐Xiong Qiu; Pan Li; Rui‐Sen Lu; Chang‐Tse Lu; Shih‐Wen Chung; Yang‐Shan Lin; Yun‐Chao Chen; Atsushi J. Nagano; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim The Sino‐Japanese Floristic Region has extremely high species diversity with respect to temperate plants; however, the reasons for this diversity are poorly understood because most studies have only considered geographic isolation caused by climatic oscillations. In some plant groups, high floral trait diversity and uneven species diversity between insular systems and the continental area suggest other factors may have important roles too. The primary purpose of this study is to reveal how abiotic and biotic factors have shaped the species diversity anomaly of Heterotropa between the insular systems and the continental area. Location The Sino‐Japanese Floristic Region. Taxon Section Heterotropa (genus Asarum ; Aristolochiaceae). Methods Using ddRAD‐seq and chloroplast genome data, we built a time‐calibrated phylogenetic tree including 79 species. We estimated the patterns of floral traits (flowering time and floral size) evolution using macroevolutionary modelling, and tested the correlation of speciation rate with the trait evolution rates. Finally, we estimated the isolation factors of all taxa pairs and sister‐taxa pairs based on distribution range and floral traits. Results Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Heterotropa was diverged into two clades (continental clade and insular clade) in the Miocene, and the major subclades corresponded to geographic entities. Most rate shifts accelerating floral trait's evolution occurred during the Pleistocene period. Evolution rate of floral traits showed positive correlation with the speciation rate. Large proportion of taxa in the insular clade are distributed allopatrically. Several sister pairs showed floral trait divergence with geographic overlap. Main Conclusions The diversification of Heterotropa appears to have been triggered by geographic and climatic events, and subsequent repeated floral trait evolution with and without geographic isolation. Furthermore, the high species diversity in the insular systems would have been formed by the repeated range fragmentations and contractions. Our study demonstrates the importance of multidimensional studies to understand the diversification process of temperate plants in the Sino‐Japanese Floristic Region.

Detection of Vestibular Schwannoma on Triple-parametric Magnetic Resonance Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks - Tzu-Hsuan Huang; Wei-Kai Lee; Chih-Chun Wu; Cheng-Chia Lee; Chia-Feng Lu; Huai-Che Yang; Chun-Yi Lin; Wen-Yuh Chung; Po-Shan Wang; Yen-Ling Chen; Hsiu-Mei Wu; Wan-You Guo; et al. (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2021)
Purpose The first step in typical treatment of vestibular schwannoma (VS) is to localize the tumor region, which is time-consuming and subjective because it relies on repeatedly reviewing different parametric magnetic resonance (MR) images. A reliable, automatic VS detection method can streamline the process. Methods A convolutional neural network architecture, namely YOLO-v2 with a residual network as a backbone, was used to detect VS tumors from MR images. To heighten performance, T1-weighted–contrast-enhanced, T2-weighted, and T1-weighted images were combined into triple-channel images for feature learning. The triple-channel images were cropped into three sizes to serve as input images of YOLO-v2. The VS detection effectiveness levels were evaluated for two backbone residual networks that downsampled the inputs by 16 and 32. Results The results demonstrated the VS detection capability of YOLO-v2 with a residual network as a backbone model. The average precision was 0.7953 for a model with 416 × 416-pixel input images and 16 instances of downsampling, when both the thresholds of confidence score and intersection-over-union were set to 0.5. In addition, under an appropriate threshold of confidence score, a high average precision, namely 0.8171, was attained by using a model with 448 × 448-pixel input images and 16 instances of downsampling. Conclusion We demonstrated successful VS tumor detection by using a YOLO-v2 with a residual network as a backbone model on resized triple-parametric MR images. The results indicated the influence of image size, downsampling strategy, and confidence score threshold on VS tumor detection.

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

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

Development of effective conservation and management strategies requires assessments of ecosystem biodiversity status, especially in understudied hotspots of global fish diversity. Coral reefs are important habitats for fishes, with biodiversity hotspots known globally. We present the first data on molecular diversity of fishes of Mischief Reef, the largest atoll in the Nansha Islands. Partial sequences (650 bp) of mitochondrial COI gene (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) are used to identify 209 individuals, representing 101 species, referable to 62 genera, 27 families, 8 orders, and 1 class. The most abundant orders are the Perciformes (176 specimens, 84.21%), Tetraodontiformes (13 specimens, 6.22%), and Beryciformes (13 specimens, 6.22%). Mean Kimura 2-Parameter genetic distances within genera, families, and orders are 4.51, 13.90, and 17.63%, respectively. We record Monotaxis heterodon from this region for the first time—a species that may previously have been misidentified as M. grandoculis . In addition, we recognized possible cryptic species of Lethrinus olivaceus based on significantly diverging barcode sequences. Barcode data provide new insights into fish diversity of Mischief Reef, important for developing further researches on this fauna, and for its conservation.

Stranger Things: Organismal Traits of Two Octocorals Associated With Singular Symbiodiniaceae in a High-Latitude Coral Community From Northern Taiwan - Tsai-Hsuan Tony Hsu; Lilian Carlu; Yunli Eric Hsieh; Tzu-Yu Angel Lai; Ching-Wei Wang; Ching-Yun Huang; Shan-Hua Yang; Pei-Ling Wang; Nicolas Sturaro; Vianney Denis (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020)
Scrutinizing the traits of octocorals that could affect their physiological performance becomes increasingly important as several of these species are observed to become dominant on reefs pressured by the Anthropocene. In the present study, we compare the organismal traits of two branching octocorals Litophyton sp. and Stereonephthya sp. commonly populating in sympatry the high-latitude coral communities of northern Taiwan. Using 13 traits, we describe and compare performance traits in these two symbiotic species that we discuss in light of the association they maintain with their algal partners. Litophyton sp. and Stereonephthya sp. hosted Durusdinium and Gerakladium , respectively. Both genera represent singular associations, with the latter further establishing the first solid report of Gerakladium in octocorals. Traits distinguished two groups explained by the two partnerships considered. Litophyton sp. associated with Durusdinium had significantly higher organic matter, chlorophyll (chl) a , total lipid and lower chl c /chl a ratio than Stereonephthya sp. associated with Gerakladium. The δ 15 N in the host and algae, as well as δ 13 C in the host were also higher in Litophyton species. Although no significant difference was observed in the δ 13 C of the algae, Litophyton sp. presented a significantly higher variance for this trait and for chl a content than Stereonephthya species. Altogether, the traits examined suggested contrasting performances among the two octocorals. Both octocoral species clearly deviate from an autotrophic diet. Litophyton sp. appears to complement its heterotrophic diet with photosynthetically acquired energy, while Stereonephthya sp. tends to be more specialized and benefits relatively little from its symbiotic relationship. Our study calls for greater consideration of the individual variation in octocoral physiology and in the definition of their ecological strategies.

Occurrence, Composition, and Relationships in Marine Plastic Debris on the First Long Beach Adjacent to the Land-Based Source, South China Sea - Peng Zhang; Shan-Shan Wei; Ji-Biao Zhang; Zhou Ou; Yu-Qin Yang; Ming-Yue Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
Land-based sources are the key sources of plastic debris, and mismanaged plastic debris can eventually enter the ocean via marine beaches. In this study, the spatial distribution and amount of plastic debris in the land-based source input zone of First Long Beach (FLB), China, which is a major tourist attraction, were first investigated. By using field investigation, sand samples were collected from two sections on FLB adjacent to land-based sources in December 2019, and the plastic debris in the sand samples was quantified and characterized in the laboratory. The amount of plastic debris ranged from 2 to 82 particles/m2 on this marine sand beach. There was a significant difference in plastic debris amount between the transects along the land-based source input zone (p

ENSO’s impacts on the tropical Indian and Atlantic Oceans via tropical atmospheric processes: observations versus CMIP5 simulations - Shan He; Jin-Yi Yu; Song Yang; Shih-Wei Fang (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
This study compares the impacts of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the tropical North Atlantic Ocean and the tropical Indian Ocean during 1958–2004. It is found that the tropical atmospheric processes mediating the ENSO impacts are different between the two oceans for two reasons. First, the ENSO-induced anomalous Walker circulation is more extensive over the Atlantic than over the Indian Ocean. As a result, the atmospheric bridge (AB) mechanism is the major contributor to the differences in ENSO teleconnections between the two oceans. Secondly, SSTs in the tropical North Atlantic are under a greater control of the atmospheric thermal forcing than those in the tropical Indian Ocean. Due to these different controls, the tropospheric temperature (TT) mechanism also contributes to the different ENSO teleconnections. When compared with the observations, the mean of thirty-seven models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 overestimates the ENSO-induced SST response in the tropical Indian Ocean but underestimates the response in the tropical North Atlantic. The overestimation is brought about by a westward extension of ENSO SST anomalies in the models, which causes the AB mechanism to produce an overly strong impact on Indian Ocean SSTs. On the other hand, the underestimation is caused by a weaker-than-observed sensitivity in the simulated Atlantic SSTs to the thermal forcing produced by the TT mechanism.

Lower‐than‐expected CH 4 emissions from rice paddies with rising CO 2 concentrations - Haoyu Qian; Shan Huang; Jin Chen; Ling Wang; Bruce A. Hungate; Chris van Kessel; Jun Zhang; Aixing Deng; Yu Jiang; Kees Jan van Groenigen; Weijian Zhang (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Elevated atmospheric CO 2 (eCO 2 ) generally increases carbon input in rice paddy soils and stimulates the growth of methane‐producing microorganisms. Therefore, eCO 2 is widely expected to increase methane (CH 4 ) emissions from rice agriculture, a major source of anthropogenic CH 4 . Agricultural practices strongly affect CH 4 emissions from rice paddies as well, but whether these practices modulate effects of eCO 2 is unclear. Here we show, by combining a series of experiments and meta‐analyses, that whereas eCO 2 strongly increased CH 4 emissions from paddies without straw incorporation, it tended to reduce CH 4 emissions from paddy soils with straw incorporation. Our experiments also identified the microbial processes underlying these results: eCO 2 increased methane‐consuming microorganisms more strongly in soils with straw incorporation than in soils without straw, with the opposite pattern for methane‐producing microorganisms. Accounting for the interaction between CO 2 and straw management, we estimate that eCO 2 increases global CH 4 emissions from rice paddies by 3.7%, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. Our results suggest that the effect of eCO 2 on CH 4 emissions from rice paddies is smaller than previously thought and underline the need for judicious agricultural management to curb future CH 4 emissions.

2‐Methylcitrate cycle: a well‐regulated controller of Bacillus sporulation - Cao Zheng; Zhaoqing Yu; Cuiying Du; Yujing Gong; Wen Yin; Xinfeng Li; Zhou Li; Ute Römling; Shan‐Ho Chou; Jin He (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Bacillus thuringiensis is the most widely used eco‐friendly biopesticide, containing two primary determinants of biocontrol, endospore and insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs). The 2‐methylcitrate cycle is a widespread carbon metabolic pathway playing a crucial role in channelling propionyl‐CoA, but with poorly understood metabolic regulatory mechanisms. Here, we dissect the transcriptional regulation of the 2‐methylcitrate cycle operon prpCDB and report its unprecedented role in controlling the sporulation process of B. thuringiensis . We found that the transcriptional activity of the prp operon encoding the three critical enzymes PrpC, PrpD, and PrpB in the 2‐methylcitrate cycle was negatively regulated by the two global transcription factors CcpA and AbrB, while positively regulated by the LysR family regulator CcpC, which jointly account for the fact that the 2‐methylcitrate cycle is specifically and highly active in the stationary phase of growth. We also found that the prpD mutant accumulated 2‐methylcitrate, the intermediate metabolite of the 2‐methylcitrate cycle, which delayed and inhibited sporulation at the early stage. Thus, our results not only revealed sophisticated transcriptional regulatory mechanisms for the metabolic 2‐methylcitrate cycle but also identified 2‐methylcitrate as a novel regulator of sporulation in B. thuringiensis .

Isolation, identification and character analysis of Streptococcus dysgalactiae from Megalobrama terminalis - Fei Zhao; Shan He; Ai‐ping Tan; Xue‐zhong Guo; Lan Jiang; Cui Liu‐Fu; Yu‐ting Deng; Rui‐quan Zhang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
Pure bacterial cultures were isolated from different tissues of moribund Megalobrama terminalis from a high mortality event that occurred at a farm in Foshan, China. Two isolates (F2 and F3) were identified as Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae based on morphological and biochemical detection as well as molecular analysis. In brain heart infusion broth, the best growth conditions of isolate F3 were 35ºC, salinity 5‰ and pH 7. Furthermore, infection with isolate F3 (1.2 × 10 6 CFU/fish) led to the death of M. terminalis and zebrafish ( Danio rerio ). However, isolate F3 had no obvious pathogenicity to tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus ). When the water temperature was 29ºC, the corresponding mortality rates for zebrafish infected by isolate F3 were higher than those at 23ºC. Culture for 24 and 72 hr with isolate F3 resulted in the same mortality rates for zebrafish. The antimicrobial susceptibility assay revealed that isolate F3 was susceptible to ampicillin, florfenicol and several other antibiotics but resistant to nalidixic acid, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, neomycin and amikacin. To our knowledge, this is the first report that S. dysgalactiae infected the subtropical freshwater fish M. terminalis , which indicates that this bacterium is a potential threat to subtropical freshwater fish.

Design and Experiment of a Plateau Data-Gathering AUV - Hao Xu; Guo-Cheng Zhang; Yu-Shan Sun; Shuo Pang; Xiang-Rui Ran; Xiang-Bin Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
The design, control, and implementation of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for collecting hydrological information from plateau rivers and lakes are presented in this paper. The hardware and software structures of the control system were previously described. A novel sliding mode controller (SMC) with combinational reaching law of vertical hovering motion is proposed to improve the robustness and stability. The S-plane control, a nonlinear controller with little parameters, is used in the horizontal motion. Besides, the navigation strategy based on the dead-reckoning algorithm, a path tracking based on the light-of-sight (LOS) algorithm, and a control allocation strategy considering saturation are present. Finally, experiments were performed in a tank and in a river in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau to prove the feasibility and reliability of the AUV system.

How much of Typhoon Morakot's extreme rainfall is attributable to anthropogenic climate change? - Chung‐Chieh Wang; Li‐Shan Tseng; Chien‐Chang Huang; Shih‐How Lo; Cheng‐Ta Chen; Pi‐Yu Chuang; Nan‐Chou Su; K. Tsuboki (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Typhoon Morakot (2009), which made landfall in Taiwan during August 7–9, 2009, produced the highest rainfall and became the deadliest typhoon ever recorded in Taiwan since 1958. To assess the role of anthropogenic climate change in the typhoon‐related torrent, we compare the water budget between a pair of cloud‐resolving sensitivity experiments. The pair consists of a control simulation that reproduces Typhoon Morakot (2009) in current climate and a sensitivity simulation in which the same storm is placed in a slightly different climate background where the late 20th century anthropogenic climate change signal is removed. The anthropogenic signal is estimated with the CMIP5 experiments of 18 models for the period of 1985–2005, during which the global warming trend is discernible. In climate states that differ merely by a 20‐year mean anthropogenic change, Morakot (2009) yields 3.4–3.6% more total rainfall in the control experiment than its sensitivity counterpart within a radius of 300–500 km from the storm centre. Water budget analysis indicates that the increase in typhoon rainfall is mainly resulted from the enhanced convergence of vapour flux. The enhancement is, in turn, contributed by the increased tropospheric moisture due to global warming and, to a lesser extent, by a more active secondary circulation in the storm that is associated with the anthropogenic climate change.

Limited potential of harvest index improvement to reduce methane emissions from rice paddies - Yu Jiang; Haoyu Qian; Ling Wang; Jinfei Feng; Shan Huang; Bruce A. Hungate; Chris van Kessel; William R. Horwath; Xingyue Zhang; Xiaobo Qin; Yue Li; Xiaomin Feng; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Rice is a staple food for nearly half of the world's population, but rice paddies constitute a major source of anthropogenic CH 4 emissions. Root exudates from growing rice plants are an important substrate for methane‐producing microorganisms. Therefore, breeding efforts optimizing rice plant photosynthate allocation to grains, i.e., increasing harvest index (HI), are widely expected to reduce CH 4 emissions with higher yield. Here we show, by combining a series of experiments, meta‐analyses and an expert survey, that the potential of CH 4 mitigation from rice paddies through HI improvement is in fact small. Whereas HI improvement reduced CH 4 emissions under continuously flooded (CF) irrigation, it did not affect CH 4 emissions in systems with intermittent irrigation (II). We estimate that future plant breeding efforts aimed at HI improvement to the theoretical maximum value will reduce CH 4 emissions in CF systems by 4.4%. However, CF systems currently make up only a small fraction of the total rice growing area (i.e., 27% of the Chinese rice paddy area). Thus, to achieve substantial CH 4 mitigation from rice agriculture, alternative plant breeding strategies may be needed, along with alternative management.
