Abstract To evaluate the aquaculture potential and developmental characteristics of the holobenthic octopus Amphioctopus fangsiao, we conducted artificial breeding and continuous rearing of Amphioctopus fangsiao from hatching to 150 days post‐hatching (dph) under laboratory conditions using broodstock collected from Fujian, China.

Unreliability of carotenoid electrochromism for the measure of electrical potential differences induced by ATP hydrolysis in bacterial chromatophores [PDF]
ATP hydrolysis induces the activation of the proton ATPase in chromatophores of Rhodobacter capsulatus supplemented with nigericine and 50 mM K+ (i.e. when ΔpH < 0.2 units). The value of transmembrane electric potential (Δϕ) driving this activation was measured using three different approaches: carotenoid electrochromism, uptake of SCN− and ...

Synthetic Cells on Demand: From Molecular Stimuli to Cellular Functions
ABSTRACT Synthetic cells constructed via bottom‐up approaches using lipid or polymer vesicles have become essential tools for mimicking cellular functions and studying synthetic biological systems. These vesicles can undergo morphological changes and trigger internal reactions in response to external stimuli, such as osmotic pressure, temperature, pH ...

ABSTRACT Freshwater and sediment environments host diverse microeukaryotic communities that differ in structure and composition, yet exhibit taxonomic overlap. Using 18S V9 rRNA gene sequencing, we compared communities from these habitats in controlled 10‐day mesocosm experiments, examining diversity, overlap, and responses to treated wastewater (TWW).

Evolution of molecular communication in the permanent Azolla symbiosis
Summary Heritable symbioses exist across eukaryotes with different degrees of intimacy. In most cases, the symbionts are obligate and require inheritance for their survival. On the host side, symbiont retention can facilitate fitness benefits. Only rarely are these symbioses interwoven to the point that host survival relies on the symbiont.

ABSTRACT Present‐day angiosperm plants produce a plethora of metabolites including pigments that serve for important functions such as photosynthesis, protection against light, attraction of pollinators, and defense against microbes and herbivores. However, little is known about phytochemical constituents of ancient angiosperms, their distribution in ...

ABSTRACT Colour polytypism represents an example of phenotypic diversification shaped by genetic divergence and ecological pressures. Poison frogs of the genus Oophaga (Dendrobatidae) are highly polytypic in coloration, making them an ideal system for investigating the genetic and physiological basis of colour variation.

Evaluation of Post‐Mortem Colour Changes in Fish Eye, Gills and Skin Using Hyperspectral Imaging
Freshness is one of the critical attributes of fish quality and is of great importance in aquaculture, as post‐mortem changes can affect consumer acceptance and market value. This study aims to assess the potential use of hyperspectral imaging to determine colour parameters and monitor colour changes in three aquaculture fish species (Sparus aurata ...

Turmeric (TUR), Curcuma longa, is rich in bioactive substances, and spirulina (SPR), Spirulina platensis, is a source of protein that is highly digestible. This research investigated the combined effects of dietary C. longa and Spirulina platensis on the growth, nutritional composition, coloration, immunity, and gill health of balloon molly fish ...
