Hemocyanin-derived phenoloxidase activity is dependent on dodecameric structure in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 Hemocyanin (Hc) is a multifunctional protein in both mollusks and arthropods. Phenoloxidase (PO) activities are the most important physiological functions for Hcs after conversion.

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.With the intensifying global freshwater shortage, the efficient utilization of saline–alkaline water has become a critical research focus in aquaculture. In this study, brown sugar, corn straw powder, and peanut shell powder were added to regulate the carbon‐to‐nitrogen ratio (C/N = 15) of saline–alkaline water, while a blank control group without ...

Role and Importance of Phenoloxidase in Insect Hemostasis [PDF]
Journal of Innate Immunity, 2010 In response to microbial infection, insects mount several defense reactions including the induction of proteolytic cascades that lead to localized melanization and coagulation. Melanization requires the activation of prophenoloxidase (proPO) to its active form phenoloxidase (PO), a key enzyme that leads to the formation of melanin at wound sites and ...

Transcriptomic Insights Into the Immune Repertoire of an Antarctic Sponge
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Antarctic marine sponges are essential components of the benthic fauna, playing a crucial role in structuring this ecosystem through their own biological activities and their symbiotic relationships with diverse microorganisms. Yet, the transcriptional repertoire and the immune responses associated with interactions with microorganisms in this unique ...

Bacterial Infection Increases Reproductive Investment in Burying Beetles
Insects, 2015 The Nicrophorus genus lives and breeds in a microbe rich environment. As such, it would be expected that strategies should be in place to counter potentially negative effects of the microbes common to this environment. In this study, we show the response

eFood, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2025.By selecting larvae for fast growth at 35°C, we obtained a new black soldier fly (BSF) strain with a faster life cycle and no fitness trade‐offs. This shows how selective breeding can improve BSF for large‐scale, sustainable production of insect protein. ABSTRACT In response to the growing demand for sustainable protein sources, insect mass rearing has
