As one of the important forces promoting the development of the marine economy, the marine biomedical industry (MBI) shows typical knowledge and technology-intensive characteristics. It is of great significance to explore the industrial innovation dynamic mechanism for breaking through the bottleneck of innovative development as well as achieving high-quality development. This paper constructed a system dynamics model for scie...

Chemoreception is one of the most important senses and it plays a key role in the survival and adaptation of animals to their environments. Many gastropods, such as Rapana venosa and Neptunea cumingii , have emerged as economically important shellfish. Meanwhile, invasive gastropods have destroyed commercial shellfisheries in many countries. Given the importance of chemoreception in the behavior of aquatic gastropods, the mech...

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...
