On four epibiotic peritrichous ciliates (Protozoa, Ciliophora) found in Lake Weishan Wetland: morphological and molecular data support the establishment of a new genus, Parapiosoma gen. nov., and two new speciesMarine Life Science and Technology - - 2023

During a study on the diversity of ciliated protists in Lake Weishan Wetland, the largest wetland in northern China, four epibiotic sessilid peritrichs were isolated from aquatic host animals. Two of them, i.e., Epistylis cambari Kellicott, 1885 and Epistylis lwoffi Fauré-Fremiet, 1943, were known species whereas the other two, i.e., Parapiosoma typicum gen. nov., sp. nov. and Orborhabdostyla grac...... hiện toàn bộ
An investigation of the possible methods and potential benefits of de novo cloning of Nannochloropsis oceanica genesMarine Life Science and Technology - Tập 1 - Trang 22-27 - 2019
Guanpin Yang, Zhongyi Zhang, Hang Liu, Li Guo
Species in the microalgal genus Nannochloropsis are increasingly used as models for theoretical and applied studies. Here we attempt to generate InDel variations in the genome of Nannochloropsis oceanica, and then decipher the genetic basis of its economic and biological traits with bulked mutant analysis modified from bulked segregant analysis. In addition, we describe our efforts to construct si...... hiện toàn bộ
Phylotype resolved spatial variation and association patterns of planktonic Thaumarchaeota in eastern Chinese marginal seasMarine Life Science and Technology - Tập 5 - Trang 257-270 - 2023

The majority of marine ammonia oxidizers belong to Thaumarchaeota, a phylum of Archaea, which is distributed throughout the water column. Marine surface waters contain distinct thaumarchaeotal phylotypes compared to the deeper ocean, but spatial dynamics of the surface-associated lineages are largely unsolved. This study of 120 seawater samples from the eastern Chinese marginal seas identified con...... hiện toàn bộ
Discovery of a natural small-molecule AMP-activated kinase activator that alleviates nonalcoholic steatohepatitisMarine Life Science and Technology - Tập 5 - Trang 196-210 - 2023

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a primary cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, there is no approved drug treatment for NASH. AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an important metabolic sensor and whole-body regulator. It has been proposed that AMPK activators could be used for treating metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and NASH. In this study, we scre...... hiện toàn bộ
Colonization–competition dynamics of basal species shape food web complexity in island metacommunitiesMarine Life Science and Technology - Tập 5 Số 2 - Trang 169-177
Guanming Guo, Fangming Zhao, Ivan Nijs, Jinbao Liao
AbstractExploring how food web complexity emerges and evolves in island ecosystems remains a major challenge in ecology. Food webs assembled from multiple islands are commonly recognized as highly complex trophic networks that are dynamic in both space and time. In the context of global climate change, it remains unclear whether food web complexity will decrease in...... hiện toàn bộ
