Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the white grouper Epinephelus aeneus (Perciformes, Serranidae) and a comparative analysis with other Serranidae species

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome of the white grouper Epinephelus aeneus, which belongs to the family Serranidae, was determined. The complete mitochondrial genome measured 16,578 bp in length and consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ...

Mineral Deposition From Liquid Precursors Triggered by Complementary Polyelectrolytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polyelectrolyte additives can delay or prevent crystal nucleation in supersaturated solutions of insoluble mineral salts such as calcium carbonate. This work reports that adding a second, oppositely‐charged polyelectrolyte leads to immediate mineral crystallization from such metastable solutions.

A Multilocus Sequence Analysis Scheme for Phylogeny of Thioclava Bacteria and Proposal of Two Novel Species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
A multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) was established and performed on the genus Thioclava, including 23 strains isolated from diverse marine environments, with the aim of better differentiation of strains and species within this genus.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Effects of environmental factors on growth and VTc toxin biosynthesis in Vibrio parahaemolyticus associated with a shrimp disease

Aquaculture Reports
Highly lethal Vibrio disease (HLVD), also known as translucent post-larval disease, emerged in late 2019 and has led to acute, mass mortality in Penaeus vannamei post-larvae. HLVD is caused by Vibrio strains that produce VTc toxins.

A review of marine genetic resource valuations

npj Ocean Sustainability
AbstractMarine biotechnology is a rapidly growing sector of the ocean economy, but efforts to assess its value, and that of the genetic resources that enable it, remain contentious. Through a comprehensive literature review, we identified 67 distinct valuations of marine genetic resources.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Genome-Based Analysis Reveals the Taxonomy and Diversity of the Family Idiomarinaceae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Idiomarinaceae is a family of Gram-stain negative, mesophilic euryhalophiles. To provide a robust framework for the evolutionary and taxonomic relationships of bacteria of this family, we compared herein the genomes of 36 type strains and 43 non-type ...

Marine Biobank: From Protection of Genetic Resources to Biomedical Entrepreneurship

Iranian South Medical Journal, 2021
Background Marine biological resources and their creatures are one of the major parts of marine biomass. Marine biological resources are important for regular genetic research and isolation and extraction of biological materials from the marine organisms which have the potential for commercial development and employment in the coastal areas.
