As the cheapest feed ingredient, carbohydrates exert a protein‐sparing effect. However, excessive carbohydrate intake can induce hepatic metabolic disorders and lead to metabolic diseases in fish. The GIP/GIPR axis plays a vital role in regulating lipid metabolism and glucose uptake. To evaluate the functions of GIP and GIPR in largemouth bass, we cloned their cDNA sequences. We analysed the tissue‐specific expression of both...

A new basidiomycete, Clavulina mollis , is described based on morphological features and DNA sequence analyses. This fungus, collected in Yunnan Province, China, is characterized by its coralloid basidiomata growing in caespitose clusters, branching two to five times, polychotomous toward the apices and irregularly dichotomous to polychotomous at the base; a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae; pale yellow,...
