China has abundant bamboo resources, among which Yunnan Province is one of the regions with the greatest number of species. The unique natural and geographic advantages provide an excellent environment for fungal growth. This study collected and isolated saprobic hyphomycetes associated with dead bamboo in Yunnan Province, China. Based on detailed morphological comparisons and multi‐locus phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU,...

Infection by Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP) leads to stunted or arrested growth in shrimp, causing significant economic losses in shrimp aquaculture. In this study, the spore wall protein EhSW12 was expressed using a prokaryotic expression system. Subsequently, phage display technology was employed to screen for peptides that interact with EhSW12. A rapid detection method was developed that bypasses the laborious procedure...

Genetic diversity is vital for population survival, yet there is a paucity of studies focusing on the effectiveness of establishing protected areas for maintaining the population genetic diversity of threatened plant species. To evaluate the effectiveness of in situ conservation measures, we used simple sequence repeats (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) markers to monitor temporal dynamics in genetic diversity of...

Bigeye tuna ( Thunnus obesus ; BET) and yellowfin tuna ( Thunnus albacares ; YFT) are commercially and ecologically important Atlantic Ocean species. Numerous studies have examined interacting species with clearly synchronous or asynchronous dynamics, but few have investigated interactions among tuna species. This study investigated the effects of climate indices on the standardized catch per unit effort (CPUE) and habitat pre...

Summary The filamentous fungus Beauveria bassiana , an insect fungal pathogen, is widely used for pest biocontrol. Aerial conidia are infectious propagules, and their yield and viability greatly affect the field application of this fungus; however, little is known about the molecular regulatory mechanism of the triggered conidiation. In the present study, we find that the secondary metabolite regulator BbSmr1 is involved in th...

Summary To what extent the genomes of different species belonging to one genus can be diverse and the relationship between genomic differentiation and environmental factor remain unclear for oceanic bacteria. With many new bacterial genera and species being isolated from marine environments, this question warrants attention. In this study, we sequenced all the type strains of the published species of G laciecola , a recently d...
