Estuaries modify the concentration and composition of riverine nutrients and organic matter (OM), which eventually determine the riverine flux effect to coasts. Nutrients, organic carbon (OC), pigments, and amino acids (AAs) from the samples collected in the eutrophic Wenchang River Estuary (WRE) in China and the oligotrophic Krka River Estuary (KRE) in Croatia were analyzed in order to have a better understanding of how estua...

This study evaluated the effects of rotifers enriched with three enhancement products ( Nannochloropsis , S.presso, and Algamac 3080) on the body fatty acid composition, growth, survival, jaw deformity, and bone development-related gene expression of the golden pompano larvae. The rotifers enriched with Nannochloropsis were rich in EPA, and the rotifers enriched with S.presso and Algamac 3080 were rich in docosahexaenoic acid...

Summary A LuxI/R‐like quorum sensing (QS) system (AfeI/R) has been reported in the acidophilic and chemoautotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp. However, the function of AfeI/R remains unclear because of the difficulties in the genetic manipulation of these bacteria. Here, we constructed different afeI mutants of the sulfur‐ and iron‐oxidizer A . ferrooxidans , identified the N‐acyl homoserine lactones (acyl‐HSLs) synthesized by Afe...
