by Tien Ngoc Phuc Nguyen, Son Hai Nguyen, Mai Thi Tran The rapid and accurate detection of pathogenic bacteria is essential for food safety and public health. Conventional detection techniques, such as nucleic acid sequence-based amplification and polymerase chain reaction, are time-consuming and require specialized equipment and trained personnel.

However, Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection poses a major challenge in ensuring the success of P.

by Seiichiro Nakamura, Junya Yumioka, Seishu Kachi, Yasunori Baba, Shigeyuki Kawai Some macroalgae drift on the ocean and are stranded on coasts, and these stranded brown macroalgae are regarded to be degraded by organisms. Alginate is a major component of brown macroalgae. An uncovering of how carbon is cycled through brown macroalgae is needed to deeply understand coastal ecosystems.

Kempnich, Monica Appiano, Sanjin Mehic, Terril Yazzie Auxospore production is a sexual reproductive strategy by diatoms to re-attain normal size after the size-reducing effect of clonal reproduction. Aside from the minimum size threshold used as a sex clock by diatoms, the environmental or chemical triggers that can induce sex in diatoms are still not well understood.

by Junfang Sun, Xue Li, Zimeng Hu, Xingfan Xue, Miaomiao Zhang, Qimin Wu, Wei Zhang, Yiquan Zhang, Renfei Lu Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading cause of acute seafood-associated gastroenteritis worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of virulence genes, biofilm formation, motor capacities and antimicrobial resistance profile of V. parahaemolyticus isolates isolated from clinical samples in Nantong during 2018–2020.

by Bingliang Qu, Hui Zhao, Ying Chen, Xiangyong Yu Light intensity has an important environmental influence on the quality and yield of aquatic products. It is essential to understand the effects of light intensity on water quality and fish metabolism before large-scale aquaculture is implemented. In this study, two low-intensity light levels, 0 lx and 100 lx, were used to stress Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), with a natural light level (500 lx) used as control.

Background

Vibrio vulnificus necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections (VNSSTIs) are associated with a high mortality rate that varies remarkably with host susceptibility. Hepatic disease (HD) is considered the key risk factor for high VNSSTIs incidence and mortality; however, there is limited evidence in the literature to support this observation.
