Genetic Basis Underlying Behavioral Correlation Between Fugu Takifugu rubripes and a Closely Related Species, Takifugu niphobles

Behavior Genetics, 2015
Correlated suits of behaviors (behavioral syndrome) are commonly observed in both inter- and intraspecific studies. In order to understand the genetic basis of such a correlation between species, we compared ten behaviors classified into five categories (acclimation, feeding, normal swimming, reaction to a novel object and activity in a novel ...

Molecular identification of intestinal microflora in Takifugu niphobles

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics, 2006
We investigated the intestinal microflora of coastal fish including Takifugu niphobles using both culture techniques and library cloning. As a result, the numbers of bacteria appeared on agar media were 1.0x10(4) to 1.4x10(9) CFU/g (colony forming units/gram), whereas those of total bacteria stained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole were 4.7x10(10) to

Non-volatile taste active compounds and umami evaluation in two aquacultured pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus and Takifugu rubripes)

Food Bioscience, 2019
Abstract Takifugu is famous for its delicious taste and consumption is increasing since eating pufferfish became legal in China in 2016. Boiled and steamed T. obscurus and T. rubripes were analyzed for their taste compounds including proximate compositions, inorganic ions, free amino acids, 5′-nucleotides and organic acids.

Effects of temperature to the liver transcriptome in the hybrid puffer fish (Takifugu rubripes ♀ × Takifugu obscurus ♂)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics
Water temperature exerts a crucial impact on the growth and development of fish. Hybrids may integrate the superior traits of their parents, thereby leading to higher economic benefits. Takifugu rubripes and T. obscurus are two important economic species in Asia. Here, to investigated the effect of temperature on the hybrid puffer larvae (T. rubripes ♀

Calreticulin functions in antimicrobial immunity of obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus

Molecular Immunology, 2021
Calreticulin (Crt) is a highly conserved and multi-functional protein with lectin-like properties and important immunological activities. In this study, a Crt homolog, namely, ToCrt, was cloned and characterized from the obscure puffer Takifugu obscurus with an open reading frame of 1278 bp encoding a putative protein of 425 amino acids.

Characterization of the pufferfish Takifugu rubripes apolipoprotein multigene family

Gene, 2005
We have characterized the apolipoprotein multigene family of the pufferfish Takifugu rubripes. The pufferfish mainly contains 28-kDa, 27-kDa, and 14-kDa apolipoproteins in its plasma and was designated apo-28 kDa, apo-27 kDa, and apo-14 kDa, respectively.

Purification and characterization of recombinant pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) leptin

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2008
Synthetic cDNA encoding pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes) leptin (pfLEP) was prepared according to the published sequence. The pfLEP, transformed into Escherichia coli and expressed upon induction with nalidixic acid, was found almost entirely in the insoluble inclusion bodies (IBs).

Genetic comparison between torafuguTakifugu rubripesand its closely related species karasuTakifugu chinensis

Fisheries Science, 2008
Sequence analyses of mitochondrial (mt) and nuclear genes were performed for genetic comparison between two Takifugu pufferfish species: torafugu T. rubripes and karasu T. chinensis. With a sequence coverage of 20% in mtDNA, 640, 308, 344, 522 and 697 bp encoding mt 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), adenosine triphosphatase 6 (ATPase 6), nicotinamide adenine ...

Gluconeogenesis during development of the grass puffer (Takifugu niphobles)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Molecular & Integrative Physiology
During the development of teleost fish, the sole nutrient source is the egg yolk. The yolk consists mostly of proteins and lipids, with only trace amounts of carbohydrates such as glycogen and glucose. However, past evidence in some fishes showed transient increase in glucose during development, which may have supported the development of the embryos ...
