Summary Bacterial secondary metabolites are rich sources of novel drug leads. The diversity of secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in genome‐sequenced bacteria, which will provide crucial information for the efficient discovery of novel natural products, has not been systematically investigated. Here, the distribution and genetic diversity of BGCs in 10 121 prokaryotic genomes (across 68 phyla) were obtained from their PRISM4 outputs using a custom python script. A total of 18 043 BGCs are detected from 5743 genomes with non‐ribosomal peptide synthetases (25.4%) and polyketides (15.9%) as the dominant classes of BGCs. Bacterial strains harbouring the largest number of BGCs are revealed and BGC count in strains of some genera vary greatly, suggesting the necessity of individually evaluating the secondary metabolism potential. Additional analysis against 102 strains of discovered bacterial genera with abundant amounts of BGCs confirms that Kutzneria , Kibdelosporangium , Moorea , Saccharothrix , Cystobacter , Archangium , Actinosynnema , Kitasatospora , and Nocardia , may also be important sources of natural products and worthy of priority investigation. Comparative analysis of BGCs within these genera indicates the great diversity and novelty of the BGCs. This study presents an atlas of bacterial secondary metabolite BGCs that provides a lot of key information for the targeted discovery of novel natural products.

Pyricularia sp. jiangsuensis , a new cryptic rice panicle blast pathogen from rice fields in Jiangsu Province, China - Yan Du; Zhongqiang Qi; Dong Liang; Junjie Yu; Mina Yu; Rongsheng Zhang; Huijuan Cao; Mingli Yong; Xiayan Pan; Xiaole Yin; Junqing Qiao; Youzhou Liu; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Pyricularia oryzae is a multi‐host pathogen causing cereal disease, including the devastating rice blast. Panicle blast is a serious stage, leading to severe yield loss. Thirty‐one isolates (average 4.1%) were collected from the rice panicle lesions at nine locations covering Jiangsu province from 2010 to 2017. These isolates were characterized as Pyricularia sp. jiangsuensis distinct from known Pyricularia species. The representative strain 18‐2 can infect rice panicle, root and five kinds of grasses. Intriguingly, strain 18‐2 can co‐infect rice leaf with P . oryzae Guy11. The whole genome of P . sp. jiangsuensis 18‐2 was sequenced. Nine effectors were distributed in translocation or inversion region, which may link to the rapid evolution of effectors. Twenty‐one homologues of known blast‐effectors were identified in strain 18‐2, seven effectors including the homologues of SLP1 , BAS2 , BAS113 , CDIP2/3 , MoHEG16 and Avr‐Pi54 , were upregulated in the sample of inoculated panicle with strain 18‐2 at 24 hpi compared with inoculation at 8 hpi. Our results provide evidences that P . sp. jiangsuensis represents an addition to the mycobiota of blast disease. This study advances our understanding of the pathogenicity of P . sp. jiangsuensis to hosts, which sheds new light on the adaptability in the co‐evolution of pathogen and host.

Numerical Prediction of Erosion Based on the Solid-Liquid Two-Phase Flow in a Double-Suction Centrifugal Pump - Xijie Song; Rao Yao; Yubin Shen; Huili Bi; Yu Zhang; Lipu Du; Zhengwei Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Due to the high sediment content in the Yellow River, the pump units in the pumping stations along the line are often eroded by sediment, causing the reduction of pump efficiency and structural damage. The purpose of this paper is to study the influence of particle diameter on the particle track, erosion distribution and erosion rate in a double-suction centrifugal pump in a pumping station of the Yellow River with a Lagrangian particle-tracking approach and a Tabakoff erosion model. The results show that the surface erosion of the impeller on both sides in the double-suction centrifugal pump has an asymmetric distribution, and the erosion rate on both sides is different. The particle diameter affects the moving trajectory of particles and has a significant effect on the erosion morphology and position in the impeller. With the increase of particle diameter, the velocity of the particles moving towards the pressure side of the blade inlet increases, resulting in punctate impact erosion. When the particle diameter decreases, sliding abrasion gradually forms on the pressure side of the blade outlet. The change rule of the solid particle volume fraction on the impeller wall is consistent with that of erosion distribution on the impeller wall. The larger the solid volume fraction is, the higher the wall erosion rate is.

Differences in topological properties of functional brain networks between menstrually-related and non-menstrual migraine without aura - Yutong Zhang; Tao Xu; Ziwen Wang; Dehua Li; Jiarong Du; Yi Wen; Yu Zhao; Huaqiang Liao; Fanrong Liang; Ling Zhao (Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2021)
Menstrually-related migraine without aura refers to a specific type of migraine that is associated with the female ovarian cycle. Compared with non-menstrual migraine without aura, in menstrually-related migraine without aura, there are additional attacks of migraine outside of the menstrual period. Menstrually-related migraine without aura tends to be less responsive to acute treatment and more prone to relapse than non-menstrual migraine without aura. Currently menstrually-related migraine without aura is treated no differently from any other migraine but, the differences in the central mechanisms underlying menstrually-related migraine without aura and non-menstrual migraine without aura remain poorly understood. Here, using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging and graph theory approaches, we aimed to explore the differences in topological properties of functional networks in 51 menstrually-related migraine without aura patients and 47 non-menstrual migraine without aura patients. The major finding of our study was that significant differences in topological properties between the two groups were mainly evident in the nodal centrality of the inferior frontal gyrus and the thalamus. Nodal centrality in inferior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with Headache Impact Test questionnaire scores in the menstrually-related migraine without aura patients. Partial least squares correlation analysis revealed enhanced correlations of inferior frontal gyrus to pain-related behavior in the non-menstrual migraine without aura group, while within the menstrually-related migraine without aura group these effects were non-significant. These results indicate that the regulatory mechanisms in the central nervous system may differ between the two subtypes of migraine. The results provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of different subtypes of migraine, and could help us to enhance their clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Ambient fine particulate matter of diameter ≤ 2.5 μm and risk of hemorrhagic stroke: a systemic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies - Kai Zhao; Jing Li; Chaonan Du; Qiang Zhang; Yu Guo; Mingfei Yang (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021)
Ambient fine particulate matter of 2.5 μm or less in diameter (PM 2.5 ) of environment contamination is deemed as a risk factor of cerebrovascular diseases. Yet there is still no explicit evidence strongly supporting that PM 2.5 with per unit increment can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS). Literatures were searched from PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase. After the systemic review of relevant studies, random effects model was used to perform meta-analysis and to evaluate the association between PM 2.5 and risk of HS. Seven cohort studies were finally included, involving more than 6 million people and 37,667 endpoint events (incidence or mortality of HS). Total scores of quality assessment were 50. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) for crude HRs was 1.13 (95%CI: 1.09–1.17) (CI for confidence interval). Pooled HR of subgroup analysis for current smoking with exposure to growing PM 2.5 was 1.14 (95%CI: 0.92–2.15) and for never and former smoking was 1.04 (95%CI: 0.74–1.46). Ambient PM 2.5 level is significantly associated with the risk of HS, which might be a potential risk factor of HS. Smoking does not further increase the risk of HS under exposure of PM 2.5 .

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.

Diversity and potential biogeochemical impacts of viruses in bulk and rhizosphere soils - Li Bi; Dan‐Ting Yu; Shuai Du; Li‐Mei Zhang; Li‐Yu Zhang; Chuan‐Fa Wu; Chao Xiong; Li‐Li Han; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Viruses can affect microbial dynamics, metabolism and biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystems. However, viral diversity and functions in agricultural soils are poorly known, especially in the rhizosphere. We used virome analysis of eight rhizosphere and bulk soils to study viral diversity and potential biogeochemical impacts in an agro‐ecosystem. The order Caudovirales was the predominant viral type in agricultural soils, with Siphoviridae being the most abundant family. Phylogenetic analysis of the terminase large subunit of Caudovirales identified high viral diversity and three novel groups. Viral community composition differed significantly between bulk and rhizosphere soils. Soil pH was the main environmental driver of the viral community structure. Remarkably, abundant auxiliary carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) genes were detected in viromes, including glycoside hydrolases, carbohydrate esterases and carbohydrate‐binding modules. These results demonstrate that virus‐encoded putative auxiliary metabolic genes or metabolic genes that may change bacterial metabolism and indirectly contribute to biogeochemical cycling, especially carbon cycling, in agricultural soil.

Multiple Fetal Nutritional Patterns Before Parturition in Viviparous Fish Sebastes schlegelii (Hilgendorf, 1880) - Du Tengfei; Xiao Yongshuang; Zhao Haixia; Zhou Li; Liu Qinghua; Wang Xueying; Li Jun; Xu Shihong; Wang Yanfeng; Yu Jiachen; Wu Lele; Wang Yunong; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Sebastes schlegelii is a commercially important fish with a special viviparous reproductive system that is cultured in near-shore seawater net cages in East Asia. In the gonadal development of the species, the gonad of males mature before those of females, which mature after mating. Mating in male/female fishes occurs in October of each year. Then, females undergoing oocyte maturation complete fertilization using stored sperm in March of the following year. The pregnancy is completed when larvae are produced in the ovary. It has been reported that embryonic nutrient supply originates entirely from the female viviparous reproductive systems. However, until now, the nutritional patterns and the processes of nutrient provision in S. schlegelii before parturition have not been clear. The goal of this research was to study the embryos, larvae and juveniles of S. schlegelii during pregnancy. Anatomical observations, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the developmental characteristics of early embryos and larvae and the connecting structures between the mother and the fetus. The results showed the following: (1) Placental-like structures were found during the process of embryonic development in S. schlegelii , and these placental-like structures proliferated after fertilization. (2) The embryos of S. schlegelii were encased by a saclike structure composed of blood vessels, connective tissue, and surface epithelial cells. The vessels near the embryo existed in the thecal layer. Vascularized proliferation was detected following embryonic development. (3) Starting in the gastrula stage, connections between the embryo and surrounding cells loosened, and ovarian fluid became abundant. In addition, a large number of small holes and cristae were observed on the surface of the embryo. We speculate that embryos may be able to absorb nutrients from the ovarian fluid. (4) Yolk was present throughout embryo development. (5) Two types of nutritional modes were observed, lecithotrophic and matrotrophic during embryonic development. Three forms of placental analogs may exist in S. schlegelii : (1) external epithelial absorptive surfaces; (2) trophonemata, with modifications of the ovarian epithelia for absorbing the histotroph; and (3) a follicular pseudoplacenta, with close apposition between follicle cells and embryonic absorptive epithelia.

The response of soil respiration to precipitation change is asymmetric and differs between grasslands and forests - Yue Du; Ying‐Ping Wang; Fanglong Su; Jun Jiang; Chen Wang; Mengxiao Yu; Junhua Yan (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Intensification of the Earth's hydrological cycle amplifies the interannual variability of precipitation, which will significantly impact the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, it is still unknown whether previously observed relationship between soil respiration ( R s ) and precipitation remains applicable under extreme precipitation change. By analyzing the observations from a much larger dataset of field experiments (248 published papers including 151 grassland studies and 97 forest studies) across a wider range of precipitation manipulation than previous studies, we found that the relationship of R s response with precipitation change was highly nonlinear or asymmetric, and differed significantly between grasslands and forests, between moderate and extreme precipitation changes. Response of R s to precipitation change was negatively asymmetric (concave‐down) in grasslands, and double‐asymmetric in forests with a positive asymmetry (concave‐up) under moderate precipitation changes and a negative asymmetry (concave‐down) under extreme precipitation changes. In grasslands, the negative asymmetry in R s response was attributed to the higher sensitivities of soil moisture, microbial and root activities to decreased precipitation (DPPT) than to increased precipitation (IPPT). In forests, the positive asymmetry was predominantly driven by the significant increase in microbial respiration under moderate IPPT, while the negative asymmetry was caused by the reductions in root biomass and respiration under extreme DPPT. The different asymmetric responses of R s between grasslands and forests will greatly improve our ability to forecast the C cycle consequences of increased precipitation variability. Specifically, the negative asymmetry of R s response under extreme precipitation change suggests that the soil C efflux will decrease across grasslands and forests under future precipitation regime with more wet and dry extremes.

Recent changes in the drought of China from 1960 to 2014 - Zhitao Wu; Lu Yu; Ziqiang Du; Hong Zhang; Xiaohui Fan; Tianjie Lei (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
In recent years, extreme droughts have been frequent and widespread, and understanding the spatiotemporal variations in drought events in China plays an important role in drought risk management. In this study, using monthly meteorological data at 618 stations, we computed the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index with potential evapotranspiration based on the Penman–Monteith equation (SPEI_PM) for drought assessment. Furthermore, we analysed the trend, affected area, frequency and duration of drought in China over the period of 1960–2014 by the piecewise linear regression method (LRM) and Mann–Kendall (MK) method. The results showed that (a) the slight wetting trend reflected during 1960–2014 by the SPEI_PM (0.03/10a ( p > .05). This trend was allocated to most parts of northern and southeastern China and was prone to arrive in winter. In contrast, the most significant drying trend was in the Loess Plateau and Yunnan–Kweichow Plateau. (b) The turning point (TP) year of drought trend was 1993. The SPEI_PM was increased in most parts of northern China before 1993 according to the LRM and MK method. However, it decreased after 1993, especially in the south and northwest of China; (c) Over the past 55 years, the areas affected by drought decreased at a rate of −1.23%/10a ( p p p > .05). (d) The drought frequency in most parts of China was between 15 and 20 during 1960–2014. Furthermore, compared with that in 1960–1977, the drought frequency was decreased in 1978–1995 and then increased in 1996–2014. These findings suggested that the long‐term trend in drought events during 1960–2014 was not significant in China. However, the severity, affected area and frequency of droughts increase after 1993. These results allowed us to understand the changes in the drought across China over the last 55 years, which is important for guiding relevant agricultural activities.

Immune response of pearl oysters to stress and diseases - Linda Adzigbli; Ruijuan Hao; Yu Jiao; Yuewen Deng; Xiaodong Du; Qingheng Wang; Ronglian Huang (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Pearl oysters are found in the marine ecosystem. Due to their frequent exposure to microbial pathogens and environmental perturbations, they have developed a multifaceted innate immune system with differentially expressed immune‐related genes in response to a range of stress via vast coordinated immune reactions, such as immune recognition, signal transduction, synthesis of antimicrobial peptides, encapsulation and phagocytosis of the circulating haemocytes. The species are farmed to produce pearls. With the increasing adoption of aquaculture techniques in pearl production, there is the need to understand their culture environment and their immune response mechanisms. Multi‐omic studies have documented responses to nuclei insertion operation, diseases and various environmental conditions in Pinctada fucata martensii (Dunker, 1880), Pinctada maxima (Jameson, 1901), Pinctada margaritifera and Pteria penguin (Roding, 1798). Among the various stressors, nuclei insertion operation has been identified as a prevailing factor modifying gene expression. Other factors include life stage, air exposure, temperature, salinity, metals and organic contaminants. This manuscript details the response mechanism of these pearl oysters to the various stressors.

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 .

Urea transporters (UTs) are membrane proteins in the urea transporter protein A (UT-A) and urea transporter protein B (UT-B) families. UT-B is mainly expressed in endothelial cell membrane of the renal medulla and in other tissues, including the brain, heart, pancreas, colon, bladder, bone marrow, and cochlea. UT-B is responsible for the maintenance of urea concentration, male reproductive function, blood pressure, bone metabolism, and brain astrocyte and cardiac functions. Its deficiency and dysfunction contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases. Actually, UT-B deficiency increases the sensitivity of bladder epithelial cells to apoptosis triggers in mice and UT-B-null mice develop II-III atrioventricular block and depression. The expression of UT-B in the rumen of cow and sheep may participate in digestive function. However, there is no systemic review to discuss the UT-B functions. Here, we update research approaches to understanding the functions of UT-B.

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. In the end, research strategies are provided to elucidate the existing conflicts on dietary L‐carnitine application in aquaculture nutrition in order to promote its utilization in aquatic feed industry.

A hydrodynamic model for Galveston Bay and the shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico - Jiabi Du; Kyeong Park; Jian Shen; Yinglong J. Zhang; Xin Yu; Fei Ye; Zhengui Wang; Nancy N. Rabalais (Ocean Science, 2019)
A 3-D unstructured-grid hydrodynamic model for the northern Gulf of Mexico was developed, with a hybrid s–z vertical grid and high-resolution horizontal grid for the main estuarine systems along the Texas–Louisiana coast. This model, based on the Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM), is driven by the observed river discharge, reanalysis atmospheric forcing, and open boundary conditions from global HYCOM output. The model reproduces the temporal and spatial variation of observed water level, salinity, temperature, and current velocity in Galveston Bay and on the shelf. The validated model was applied to examine the remote influence of neighboring large rivers, specifically the Mississippi–Atchafalaya River (MAR) system, on salinity, stratification, vertical mixing, and longshore transport along the Texas coast. Numerical experiments reveal that the MAR discharge could significantly decrease the salinity and change the stratification and vertical mixing on the inner Texas shelf. It would take about 25 and 50 d for the MAR discharge to reach the mouth of Galveston Bay and Port Aransas, respectively. The influence of the MAR discharge is sensitive to the wind field. Winter wind constrains the MAR freshwater to form a narrow lower-salinity band against the shore from the Mississippi Delta all the way to the southwestern Texas coast, while summer wind reduces the downcoast longshore transport significantly, weakening the influence of the MAR discharge on surface salinity along Texas coast. However, summer wind causes a much stronger stratification on the Texas shelf, leading to a weaker vertical mixing. The decrease in salinity of up to 10 psu at the mouth of Galveston Bay due to the MAR discharge results in a decrease in horizontal density gradient, a decrease in the salt flux, and a weakened estuarine circulation and estuarine–ocean exchange. We highlight the flexibility of the model and its capability to simulate not only estuarine dynamics and shelf-wide transport, but also the interactions between them.

Tilapia fisheries in Guangdong Province, China: Socio‐economic benefits, and threats on native ecosystems and economics - Dang En Gu; Fan Dong Yu; Ye Xin Yang; Meng Xu; Hui Wei; Du Luo; Xi Dong Mu; Yin Chang Hu (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2019)
Tilapia is one of the groups of fish species most widely cultured globally. China has been the largest producer of tilapia in the world since 1990s. Guangdong Province produces almost 40% of all tilapia in China because of its suitable geography and weather conditions, and tilapia culture has brought considerable economic benefits. Unfortunately, many of the biological traits that make tilapia popular for culture also contribute to its success as an invader. Tilapia has invaded natural waters and has become the dominant fish in many rivers of Guangdong Province, causing economic loss in capture fisheries, and affecting native fish species, biodiversity and aquatic ecosystems. Poor fishery management, water quality degradation and biodiversity loss have all facilitated the tilapia invasion. Tilapia have filled the niches left vacant by now locally extinct native species resulting from environmental changes in freshwater ecosystems of the province. The introduction of tilapia has both advantages and disadvantages, which should be managed to use effectively the various tilapia species in aquaculture while controlling their spread in natural waters.
