This study aimed to induce a shift in a bacterial community by adding substrate into a biofloc system to characterize this shift and estimate its benefits in improving water quality and aquatic animal growth. We compared the bacterial communities between two biofloc systems, either with (sB treatment) or without (nB treatment) the addition of substrate (elastic solid packing filler), and we also analyzed the effects of the shi...

In mammals, mature miR-122 is 22 nucleotides long and can be involved in regulating a variety of physiological and biological pathways. In this study, the expression profile and effects of grouper Epinephelus coioides miR-122 response to Singapore grouper iridovirus (SGIV) infection were investigated. The sequences of mature microRNAs (miRNAs) from different organisms are highly conserved, and miR-122 from E. coioides exhibits...
