Towards effective wildlife protection law for marine species in China: A stakeholders’ perspective - Kit Yue Kwan; Ruifang Chen; Chun-Chieh Wang; Shuhao Lin; Lv Wu; Xiaoyong Xie; Zhaohong Weng; Menghong Hu; Haichao Zhou; Zhou Wu; Yijian Fu; Wenquan Zhen; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Introduction As one of the megadiverse countries, the effectiveness of wildlife protection in China is of great significance to global biodiversity conservation. With continued evolution and revisions, China’s Wildlife Protection Law has listed over 140 marine species; however, it is still inclined toward terrestrial animals. Methods To narrow the gap between compliance and enforcement, we collected 1,309 effective responses from various coastal cities of China through an anonymous online questionnaire survey, to investigate their exposure, understanding and attitudes toward Wildlife Protection Law for marine species (mWPL). Results Most respondents demonstrated an overall good understanding about the context, necessity and effectiveness of mWPL. The fisher communities were found to be more aware of the dissemination and implementation of mWPL. However, they understood less of the penal system, and exhibited negative attitudes toward the necessity and punishment of the legislation, probably due to the conflicts between resource utilizations and legislative interventions. The participants also indicated that seahorses, horseshoe crabs and corals were commonly subjected to illegal exploitations. Discussion While most respondents suggested greater fines, tighter laws and better public enforcement, we advocate the exploration of bottom-up options such as community engagement and environmental education to improve compliance and implementation of mWPL for the benefit of marine wildlife conservation in China.

Temperature-dependent effects of neonicotinoids on the embryonic development of zebrafish (Danio rerio) - Yolina Yu Lin Wang; Yan-Er Cai; Syed Shabi Ul Hassan Kazmi; Jing Yang; Yuwen Wang; Ping Li; Wenhua Liu; Zhen Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The agricultural use of neonicotinoids is increasing worldwide and poses a threat to non-target organisms. The existing toxicity data of neonicotinoids that is mainly focused on widely used neonicotinoids ignores the influence of environmental factors, like temperature, related to climate changes, etc . To fill this data gap, the present study assessed the temperature-dependent toxicity of six neonicotinoids at four temperatures. Briefly, a fish embryo toxicity test was performed at the following temperatures—20, 23, 28, and 33°C—on zebrafish embryos to evaluate the lethal and sublethal effects of these toxicants. At 28°C, the lethal toxicity (LC 50 ) values for these toxicants were cycloxaprid—3.36 mg/L, nitenpyram—7.08 mg/L, paichongding—17.2 mg/L, imidaclothiz—738.6 mg/L, dinotefuran—2,096 mg/L, and thiamethoxam—4,293 mg/L, respectively. Among the sublethal effects, the enzymatic activities changed significantly in neonicotinoid treatments, which revealed oxidative stress, metabolic disorders, and neurotoxicity. Particularly, acetylcholinesterase inhibition and glutathione S-transferase activation showed a significant dose–response relationship. However, cycloxaprid, nitenpyram, and paichongding were found to be more potent compared with imidaclothiz and thiamethoxam. The influence of temperature on these neonicotinoids demonstrated an inverted V-shaped relationship, in which toxicity decreased with the increase of temperature and then increased with the increase of temperature after exceeding the optimum temperature. This study provides a reference for the multiscale effects and potential mechanisms of neonicotinoids. Temperature-dependent toxicity is of great significance for future toxicity testing and risk assessment of chemicals in the face of global climate changes.

Derivation of predicted no-effect concentrations for thirty-five pharmaceuticals and personal care products in freshwater ecosystem - Hailin Fan; Yuwen Wang; Xiaojuan Liu; Yolina Yu Lin Wang; Syed Shabi Ul Hassan Kazmi; Okugbe Ebiotubo Ohore; Wenhua Liu; Zhen Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are contaminants of emerging concern. PPCPs have been detected in various environmental matrices, posing potential threat to human health and environment quality. Thus far, there are no water quality guidelines (WQGs) established for PPCPs for the protection of freshwater organisms and ecosystems. In this study, we used the species sensitivity distribution (SSD) and assessment factor (AF) approaches to derive the 5% hazardous concentrations (HC 5 ) of 35 selected PPCPs using acute and chronic toxicity data. The predicted no - effect concentrations (PNECs) and the acute-to-chronic ratios (ACRs) of chemicals were inherently computed to support the derivation of WQGs and for ecological risk assessment. Among these, endocrine-disrupting chemicals and antipsychotics were shown to pose a greater threat to the freshwater environment and organisms. The highest PNEC was recorded for chloramphenicol (3,620 μg/L) and the lowest for fluoxetine (0.0000291 μg/L), which could have significant ecological risks. In addition, the commonly used default ACRs do not seem to provide adequate support for the prediction of chronic toxicity thresholds and WQGs, as the highest ACRs of these drugs reached 39,100 (e.g., chloramphenicol). The findings of this study provide critical scientific information regarding the development of WQGs for environmental management and the risk control of PPCPs.

Simulated Short- and Long-Term Deformation in Coastal Karst Caves - Chunxiu Lin; Chang Xia; Hong Zhang; Zhen Liu; Cuiying Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The self-balanced pressure arch theory is an important basis for excavation support in karst caves, but it is difficult to quantify the empirical theory in coastal areas. In addition, the rheological effects of karst strata could pose a hazard to engineering. Therefore, this study investigated the rheological mechanism under the self-balanced pressure arch effect, and we proposed a mesoscopic unit rheological model for clay minerals in a water-rich environment. With the discrete element method (DEM), we realized the numerical modeling of the rheological model. Then, the proposed model is validated by a case study of foundation excavation in the coastal karst area of China. The mesoscopic mechanical characteristics of caves considering the influence of pressure arch are analyzed. The results show that the self-balance of the caverns mainly lies in the mesoscopic mineral strength and local stress. With the rheological controlled model, the final predicted convergent deformation of the foundation has an error of less than 10% compared with the field monitoring data. In this study, we can quantitively describe the self-balance effect of the pressure arch surrounding the caves and reveal the rheological mechanism. The proposed model can be applied to similar engineering with careful calibration and provide safety guidance.

COVID-19 is a serious infectious disease that has recently swept the world, and research on its causative virus, SARS-CoV-2, remains insufficient. Therefore, this study uses bioinformatics analysis techniques to explore the human digestive tract diseases that may be caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The gene expression profile data set, numbered GSE149312, is from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and is divided into a 24-h group and a 60-h group. R software is used to analyze and screen out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and then gene ontology (GO) term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses are performed. In KEGG, the pathway of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease exists in both the 24-h group and 60-h group. STRING is used to establish a protein–protein interaction (PPI) network, and Cytoscape is then used to visualize the PPI and define the top 12 genes of the node as the hub genes. Through verification, nine statistically significant hub genes are identified: AKT1, TIMP1, NOTCH, CCNA2, RRM2, TTK, BUB1B, KIF20A, and PLK1. In conclusion, the results of this study can provide a certain direction and basis for follow-up studies of SARS-CoV-2 infection of the human digestive tract and provide new insights for the prevention and treatment of diseases caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Natural Feed Supplements Improve Growth, Non-Specific Immune Responses and Resistance against Vibrio alginolyticus in Lates calcarifer - Zhen-Hao Liao; Huai-Ting Huang; Yu-Ru Lin; Bo-Ying Chen; Yi-Fan Lee; Yuan-Heng Lin; Chieh-Yuan Chuang; Fan-Hua Nan (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary natural feed supplement on the growth performance, non-specific responses, and disease resistance in Lates calcarifer. Three commercial products (A, B, and C) containing a basal probiotic mixture were tested. Product A contained a basal mixture of Paenibacillus sp., Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (107 cfu/g for each probiotic); product B contained additional Lactobacillus plantarum (1010 cfu/g); and product C contained additional soybean peptides (500 g/kg) and garlic powder (1 g/kg). Each product was supplemented into subject diets at dosages of 1 or 2 g/kg (designated as the A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2 groups, respectively). Following an eight-week trial, growth parameters (specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio), non-specific immune responses (O2− production, phagocytic rate, and phagocytic index), and the results of a challenge test against Vibrio alginolyticus were evaluated. The results show that all probiotic supplement groups exhibited an improvement in growth performance compared to the control group (non-probiotic diet). In terms of non-specific immunity parameters, a significant improvement in O2− production was found in the C2 group, whereas significant improvements in phagocytic activity were found in all the B and C groups. The C2 group displayed optimal O2− production, phagocytic rate, and phagocytic index results. For the challenge test, the C groups showed higher Vibrio resistance than the other experimental groups and the control group. These results suggest that product C, given at dosages of 2 g/kg, may serve as a growth-promoting and immunostimulatory additive for the cultivation of Asian seabass.

Baculoviruses hijack the visual perception of their caterpillar hosts to induce climbing behaviour thus promoting virus dispersal - Xiaoming Liu; Zhiqiang Tian; Limei Cai; Zhongjian Shen; J. P. Michaud; Lin Zhu; Shuo Yan; Vera I. D. Ros; Kelli Hoover; Zhen Li; Songdou Zhang; Xiaoxia Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Baculoviruses can induce climbing behaviour in their caterpillar hosts to ensure they die at elevated positions to enhance virus transmission, providing an excellent model to study parasitic manipulation of host behaviour. Here, we demonstrate that climbing behaviour occurred mostly during daylight hours, and that the height at death of Helicoverpa armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV)‐infected larvae increases with the height of the light source. Phototaxic and electroretinogram (ERG) responses were enhanced after HearNPV‐infection in host larvae, and ablation of stemmata in infected larvae prevented both phototaxis and climbing behaviour. Through transcriptome and quantitative PCR, we confirmed that two opsin genes (a blue light‐sensitive gene, HaBL ; and a long wave‐sensitive gene, HaLW ) as well as the TRPL (transient receptor potential‐like channel protein) gene, all integral to the host's visual perception pathway, were significantly upregulated after HearNPV infection. Knockout of HaBL , HaLW , or TRPL genes using the CRISPR/Cas9 system resulted in significantly reduced ERG responses, phototaxis, and climbing behaviour in HearNPV‐infected larvae. These results reveal that HearNPV alters the expression of specific genes to hijack host visual perception at fundamental levels—photoreception and phototransduction—in order to induce climbing behaviour in host larvae.

A Comprehensive Correlation Study of Structured Soils in Coastal Area of South China about Structural Characteristics - Chunxiu Lin; Chang Xia; Zhen Liu; Cuiying Zhou (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Granite residual soil is a common engineering material, and its mechanical properties are of great importance to engineering safety. This kind of soil presents obvious structural characteristics, and many researchers have emphasized the significance of its structural features. According to previous experiments, from a macroscopic perspective, many researchers have investigated the structural relationship between undisturbed and remolded soils, but few studies have considered it in the mesoscopic aspect. Adopting DEM (a mesomechanical simulation method), we can study how the structure affects the mechanical process between undisturbed and remolded soil. Therefore, this paper combines DEM with laboratory tests to study the structural characteristic correlation between undisturbed and remolded soil. The results indicate that a weak cohesion effect exists in undisturbed soil, and the damage of weak cohesion elements accompanies the failure process. Weak cohesion elements in undisturbed soil cause inhomogeneities in deformation, stress state, and damage accumulation, which ultimately causes differences in strength curves. This paper explains the mechanism of the structural effect on mechanical evolution from a mesomechanical perspective. The DEM simulation method proposed in this paper can be applied to structured soils and better guide engineering practice.

Regional characteristics and exploitation potential of atmospheric water resources in China - Lin An; Zhanyu Yao; Pei Zhang; Shuo Jia; Jieyun Zhao; Liangshu Gao; Zhen Liu (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
The atmospheric water resources (AWR) in China have evident regional characteristics. In order to scientifically and rationally exploit the AWR in different regions of China, we divided China into seven regions based on the ERA‐5, the CloudSat data, and so on. Such characteristics as water vapour, cloud characteristics, cloud water resources (CWR), precipitation efficiency of hydrometeors (PEh), and the exploitation potential of CWR were studied in this article. Some results in summer are shown. (a) There were relatively more precipitation, richer water vapour, stronger water vapour transport and convergence, more cloud covers, and relatively larger zones of rich total column cloud water content in China. Therefore, it is of important significance to study AWR in summer in China. (b) In respect of single‐layer clouds, low clouds were in the majority over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and the southwest China (SW), medium clouds were predominant over the northern regions, and high clouds existed more over the central region (CR) and the southeast China (SE). The liquid water content (LWC) at each height of cloud was less than 800 mg·m −3 and decreased gradually with the increase in height in China. The convective development heights, the LWC at each altitude, and the frequencies of less LWCs over the northern regions were lower than those over the southern regions. The ice water content (IWC) at each height of cloud was less than 250 mg·m −3 , and more than 96% of them were less than 100 mg·m −3 . (c) CWR over the northeast China (NE), north China (NC), and CR were relatively rich, but with relatively low PEh, so there was relatively higher exploitation potential of CWR in these regions, followed by the northwest China (NW) and TP, and there was still some exploitation potential of CWR in SE and SW.

Microbiome Associated With Gambierdiscus balechii Cultures Under Different Toxicity Conditions - Zhen Wu; Wai Hin Lee; Zijian Liu; Senjie Lin; Paul K. S. Lam (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Dinoflagellates, including harmful algal bloom species, are known to co-exist with and rely upon bacteria but how the microbiome changes with the physiologies of the cognate dinoflagellates is poorly understood. Here, we used 16S rRNA gene meta-barcoding to characterize the bacterial community in the cultures of Gambierdiscus balechii , a ciguatoxin-producing benthic dinoflagellate, under different nitrogen (N)-nutrient conditions and at different ciguatoxin-producing growth. The high-throughput sequencing of a total of 12 libraries generated 926,438 reads which were classified into 16 phyla. We observed a shift of the G. balechii -associated microbiome from N-replete to low-N conditions and from the early (low toxin) to the late exponential (high toxin) growth stage. Common across these conditions were species from families Rhodobacteraceae and Flavobacteriaceae. Species abundant in the low-N condition mainly included Planctomyces , Ekhidna , and Lactobacillus. Dominant or highly abundant microbial taxa in the high toxin-producing stage (N-replete, late exponential stage) were Oceanococcus and Marinoscillum . Under this condition, one Rhizobiales bacterium, Oricola , also increased in relative abundance. Our study documents the high diversity and dynamics of the G. balechii -associated microbiome, and identifies condition-specific sub-communities: the core (constitutive) microbiome that stably co-exists with G. balechii , the bacterial lineages that are responsive to N-nutrient variations, and species whose abundances are correlated with toxin content of the dinoflagellate. These findings demonstrate that particular bacterial groups are responsive to N-nutrient or toxicity changes of G. balechii and thus will be useful for further investigations on the associated microbiome’s interactions with benthic dinoflagellates and functions in the course of benthic harmful algae blooms.

Autophagy plays a double-edged sword role in liver diseases - Jing-chao Zhou; Jing-lin Wang; Hao-zhen Ren; Xiao-lei Shi (Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022)
As a highly evolutionarily conserved process, autophagy can be found in all types of eukaryotic cells. Such a constitutive process maintains cellular homeostasis in a wide variety of cell types through the encapsulation of damaged proteins or organelles into double-membrane vesicles. Autophagy not only simply eliminates materials but also serves as a dynamic recycling system that produces new building blocks and energy for cellular renovation and homeostasis. Previous studies have primarily recognized the role of autophagy in the degradation of dysfunctional proteins and unwanted organelles. However, there are findings of autophagy in physiological and pathological processes. In hepatocytes, autophagy is not only essential for homeostatic functions but also implicated in some diseases, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and hepatic failure. In the present review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its role in several liver diseases and put forward several new strategies for the treatment of liver disease.

Increasing the energy efficiency of a data center based on machine learning - Zhen Yang; Jinhong Du; Yiting Lin; Zhen Du; Li Xia; Qianchuan Zhao; Xiaohong Guan (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2022)
Energy efficiency of data centers (DCs) is of great concern due to their large amount of energy consumption and the foreseeable growth in the demand of digital services in the future. The past decade witnessed improvements of the energy efficiency of DCs from an extensive margin—a shift from small to large, more efficient DCs. Improvements from the intensive margin, that is, from more efficient operation, would be critical in limiting the energy consumption and environmental impact of DCs in the upcoming period. Machine learning algorithms have advantages in optimizing the operation of DCs to improve energy efficiency as they have shown the potential of discovering control strategies not found by traditional method, and producing working condition‐dependent control strategies. This study proposes ready‐to‐use machine learning methods with practical details to decrease the most commonly used energy efficiency metric—power usage effectiveness in DCs. We achieved an accurate prediction by properly selecting the features used in the proposed prediction models established by neural network, light gradient boosting machine, recurrent neural network, and random forests. The proposed approaches are implemented in one of the largest hyperscale DCs in China—Tencent Tianjin DC, to optimize the set points of controllable variables in the cooling system and to detect and adjust the unreasonable working conditions in the modular data centers. The lower bound of PUE reduction was 0.005 with the proposed approaches, leading to about 1500 MWh (0.24% of the total designed electricity consumption of this DC) of energy saved per year in this hyperscale DC. The proposed methods have the potential to be transferred to DCs of similar scale, and the framework of our work could serve as a guide for machine learning‐based optimization of environmental indicators in other complex product/service systems.

Soil phosphorus (P) availability often limits plant productivity. Classical theories suggest that total P content declines at the temporal scale of pedogenesis, and ecosystems develop toward the efficient use of scarce P during succession. However, the trajectory of ecosystem P within shorter time scales of succession remains unclear. We analyzed changes to P pools at the early (I), middle (II), and late (III) stages of growth of plantation forests (PFs) and the successional stages of natural forests (NFs) at 1969 sites in China. We found significantly lower P contents at later growth stages compared to earlier ones in the PF ( p p

Termite mound formation reduces the abundance and diversity of soil resistomes - Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Qing‐Lin Chen; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He; Hang‐Wei Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Termites are pivotal ecosystem engineers in tropical and subtropical habitats, where they construct massive nests (‘mounds’) that substantially modify soil properties and promote nutrient cycling. Yet, little is known about the roles of termite nesting activity in regulating the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the major Global Health challenges. Here, we conducted a large‐scale (> 1500 km) investigation in northern Australia and found distinct resistome profiles in termite mounds and bulk soils. By profiling a wide spectrum of ARGs, we found that the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were significantly lower in termite mounds than in bulk soils ( P P

Precipitation increases the abundance of fungal plant pathogens in Eucalyptus phyllosphere - Qing‐Lin Chen; Hang‐Wei Hu; Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Understanding the current and future distributions of plant pathogens is critical to predict the plant performance and related economic benefits in the changing environment. Yet, little is known about the roles of environmental drivers in shaping the profiles of fungal plant pathogens in phyllosphere, an important habitat of microbiomes on Earth. Here, using a large‐scale investigation of Eucalyptus phyllospheric microbiomes in Australia and the multiple linear regression model, we show that precipitation is the most important predictor of fungal taxonomic diversity and abundance. The abundance of fungal plant pathogens in phyllosphere exhibited a positive linear relationship with precipitation. With this empirical dataset, we constructed current and future atlases of phyllosphere plant pathogens to estimate their spatial distributions under different climate change scenarios. Our atlases indicate that the abundance of fungal plant pathogens would increase especially in the coastal regions with up to 100‐fold increase compared with the current abundance. These findings advance our understanding of the distributions of fungal plant pathogens in phyllospheric microbiomes under the climate change, which can improve our ability to predict and mitigate their impacts on plant productivity and economic losses.

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

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

The Effects of Installation on the Elastic Stiffness Coefficients of Spudcan Foundations - Wen-Long Lin; Zhen Wang; Fei Liu; Jiang-Tao Yi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Subjected to pre-load, spudcan foundations, widely utilized to support offshore jack-up rigs, may penetrate in a few diameters into soft clays before mobilizing sufficient resistance from soil. While its stress–strain behavior is known to be affected by the embedment condition and soil backflow, the small-strain calculation with wished-in-place assumption was previously adopted to analyze its elastic stiffness coefficients. This study takes advantage of a recently developed dual-stage Eulerian–Lagrangian (DSEL) technique to re-evaluate the elastic stiffness coefficients of spudcans after realistically modelling the deep, continuous spudcan penetration. A numerical parametric exercise is conducted to investigate the effects of strength non-homogeneity, embedment depths, and the spudcan’s size on the elastic stiffness. On these bases, an expression is provided such that the practicing engineers can conveniently factor the installation effects into the estimation of elastic stiffness coefficients of spudcans.

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

Identification through fine mapping and verification using CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis for a minor QTL controlling grain weight in rice - Aye Nyein Chan; Lin-Lin Wang; Yu-Jun Zhu; Ye-Yang Fan; Jie-Yun Zhuang; Zhen-Hua Zhang (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message A minor QTL for grain weight in rice, qTGW1.2b , was fine-mapped. Its casual gene OsVQ4 was confirmed through CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis, exhibiting an effect that was larger than the original QTL effect. Abstract The CRISPR/Cas system exhibits a great potential for rice improvement, but the application was severely hindered due to insufficient target genes, especial the lack of validated genes underlying quantitative trait loci having small effects. In this study, a minor QTL for grain weight, qTGW1.2b , was fine-mapped into a 44.0 kb region using seven sets of near isogenic lines (NILs) developed from the indica rice cross (Zhenshan 97) 3 /Milyang 46, followed by validation of the causal gene using CRISPR/Cas9-targeted mutagenesis. In the NIL populations, 1000-grain weight of the Zhenshan 97 homozygous lines decreased by 0.9–2.0% compared with the Milyang 46 homozygous lines. A gene encoding VQ-motif protein, OsVQ4 , was identified as the candidate gene based on parental sequence differences. The effect of OsVQ4 was confirmed by creating CRISPR/Cas9 knockout lines, whose 1000-grain weight decreased by 2.8–9.8% compared with the wild-type transgenic line and the recipient. These results indicate that applying genome editing system could create novel alleles with large phenotypic variation at minor QTLs, which is an effective way to validate causal genes of minor QTLs. Our study establishes a strategy for cloning minor QTLs, which could also be used to identify a large number of potential target genes for the application of CRISPR/Cas system.

Aquaculture is a fast‐growing and rapidly expanding industry in the world. Probiotics are widely used in aquaculture and have provided benefits to aquatic animal health, and it is also a promising alternative to antibiotics for control of fish diseases. With the development of biotechnology, new expression systems and novel techniques for the surface display of heterologous proteins in surface of probiotics cells have been developed. This review provides an overview of the systems and strategies for displaying functional proteins on the surface of probiotics commonly used in aquaculture, which are Bacillus subtilis , Bacillus thuringiensis , lactic acid bacteria represented by Lactococcus lactis and yeast. Their applications in aquaculture especially for oral vaccine development afforded by this technology and prospects and challenges associated with this technology are also highlighted.

Integrating Patient-Specific Electrocardiogram Signals and Image-Based Computational Fluid Dynamics Method to Analyze Coronary Blood Flow in Patients during Cardiac Arrhythmias - Szu-Hsien Chou; Kuan-Yu Lin; Zhen-Ye Chen; Chun-Jung Juan; Chien-Yi Ho; Tzu-Ching Shih (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2020)
Purpose The aim of this study was to use the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, patient-specific electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, and computed tomography three-dimensional image reconstruction technique to investigate the blood flow in coronary arteries during cardiac arrhythmia. Methods Two patients with premature ventricular contraction-type cardiac arrhythmia and one with atrial fibrillation-type cardiac arrhythmia were investigated. The inlet velocity of the coronary artery in simulation was applied with the measured velocity profile of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) from the Doppler echocardiography. The measured patient central aortic blood pressure waveform was employed for the coronary artery outlet in simulation. The no-slip boundary condition was applied to the arterial wall. Results For the patient with irregular cardiac rhythms (Case I), the coronary blood flow rate under the shortened and lengthened cardiac rhythms were 0.66 and 0.96 mL/s, respectively. In Case II, the maximum velocity at the LVOT under a normal heartbeat was found to be 101 cm/s, whereas the average value was 73 cm/s. In Case III, the patient was also diagnosed with a congenital stenosis problem at the myocardial bridge (MCB) at the LAD. The measured blood flow rate at the MCB of the LAD for the three heartbeats in Case III was found to be 0.68, 1.08, and 1.14 mL/s. Conclusion The integration of patient-specific ECG signals and image-based CFD methods can clearly analyze hemodynamic information for patients during cardiac arrhythmia. The cardiac arrhythmia can reduce the blood flow in the coronary arteries.

Summary Successful application of microorganisms to heavy metal remediation depends on their resistance to toxic metals. This study contrasted the differences of tolerant mechanisms between Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ in Enterobacter sp. Microbial respiration and production of formic acid showed that Enterobacter sp. had a higher tolerant concentration of Pb (>1000 mg l −1 ) than Cd (about 200 mg l −1 ). Additionally, SEM confirmed that most of Pb and Cd nanoparticles (NPs) were adsorbed onto cell membrane. The Cd stress, even at low concentration (50 mg l −1 ), significantly enlarged the sizes of cells. The cellular size raised from 0.4 × 1.0 to 0.9 × 1.6 μm on average, inducing a platelet‐like shape. In contrast, Pb cations did not stimulate such enlargement even up to 1000 mg l −1 . Moreover, Cd NPs were adsorbed homogeneously by almost all the bacterial cells under TEM. However, only a few cells work as ‘hot spots’ on the sorption of Pb NPs. The heterogeneous sorption might result from a ‘self‐sacrifice’ mechanism, i.e., some cells at a special life stage contributed mostly to Pb sorption. This mechanism, together with the lower mobility of Pb cations, caused higher microbial tolerance and removal efficiency towards Pb 2+ . This study sheds evident contrasts of bacterial resistance to the two most common heavy metals.

Evolutionary history of the scorpionfly Dicerapanorpa magna (Mecoptera, Panorpidae) - Gui‐Lin Hu; Yuan Hua; Paul D. N. Hebert; Bao‐Zhen Hua (Zoologica Scripta, 2019)
Climate changes can have fundamental impacts on the distributional patterns of montane species, and range shifts frequently lead to allopatric divergence followed by the establishment of secondary contact zones. Many European and North American organisms have retreated to southern refugia during glacial periods and colonized northward during postglacial periods, but little is known about the evolutionary response of cold‐adapted insects to Pleistocene climate changes in eastern Asia. The scorpionfly Dicerapanorpa magna (Chou), with cold temperate habitat preference and weak dispersal ability, provides a good model system to explore how climate changes have influenced the distribution and divergence of cold‐adapted insects in eastern Asia. This study reconstructed the demographic dynamics and evolutionary history of D. magna with phylogeographic approaches, and predicted the species’ suitable areas under the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and current scenarios with the ecological niche modelling analysis. The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I resolved three phylogenetic lineages in D. magna dating back to Pleistocene, corresponding well with the geographically isolated Qinling, Bashan and Minshan Mountains. The ecological niche modelling recovered the suitable habitats for D. magna were the Qinling and Bashan Mountains under LGM and current conditions. The three lineages of D. magna might be in a process of incipient speciation, and likely derived their current distribution from separate glacial origins, followed by vicariance and divergence.

A new insight into lead (II) tolerance of environmental fungi based on a study of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum - Da Tian; Zhongquan Jiang; Liu Jiang; Mu Su; Zheye Feng; Lin Zhang; Shimei Wang; Zhen Li; Shuijin Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Environmental microorganisms have been widely applied in heavy metal remediation. This study explored the mechanisms of lead tolerance of two typical filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum . It is shown that the mechanisms of reducing Pb toxicity by these two fungi have three major pathways. The secreted oxalic acid can react with Pb (II) to form insoluble Pb minerals, primarily lead oxalate. Then, the enhanced biosorption via forming new border of cell wall prevents the transportation of Pb (II) into hypha. In addition, the fungal activity could be maintained even at high Pb concentration due to the intracellular accumulation. It was confirmed that A. niger has the higher Pb tolerance (up to 1500 mg l −1 Pb level) compared with P. oxalicum (up to 1000 mg l −1 ). Meanwhile, Pb levels below 1000 mg l −1 partially stimulate the bioactivity of A. niger , which was confirmed by its elevated respiration (from 53 to 63 mg C l −1 medium h −1 ). This subsequently enhanced microbial functions of A. niger to resist Pb toxicity. A better understanding of Pb tolerance of these two fungi sheds a bright future of applying them to remediate lead‐contaminated environments.

Toxoplasma gondii infects almost all the warm-blooded animals. ROP20 protein is expressed in the rhoptry of Toxoplasma gondii . In this study, the secondary structure of ROP20 was analyzed using SMART software. We constructed and analyzed the 3D model of ROP20 protein using SWISS-MODEL online procedure and Visual Molecular Dynamics (VMD) software. The structure analysis fully indicated that ROP20 protein is an important member of the ROP family. Furthermore, We used DNASTAR software and Epitope Database online service to analyze liner-B cell epitopes and T-cell epitopes of ROP20 protein. All the analysis results of ROP20 protein can provide positive information on treatment and vaccine for toxoplasmosis. Moreover, ROP20 gene was obtained from PCR, and a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector (pEGFP-C1-ROP20) was constructed in the following study. After restriction enzyme digestion, the constructed plasmid was transfected into HEK 293-T cells. The RT-PCR result indicated that the recombinant plasmid could transcribe successfully in HEK 293-T cell. The results of western blotting indicated the expressed proteins can be recognized by anti-STAg mouse sera.
