Project description:Zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) distributes widely in the deep-sea cold seep, which is important immediate in the active sulfur cycle of cold seep. In our preview work, a novel ZVS formation pathway discovered in the deep-sea cold weep bacterium Erythrobacter flavus 21-3 was described. However, whether this pathway worked and what function roles it played in the cold seep were unknown. In this study, E. flavus 21-3 was verified to produce zero-valent sulfur in the cold seep using genes soxB and tsdA as our preview report described. Based on proteomic data, stoichiometric methods and microscopic observation, this ZVS formation pathway benefited E. flavus 21-3 in the deep-sea cold seep. Notably, 30% metagenomes contained these two genes in the shallow sediments, which present the most abundant sulfur genes and active sulfur cycle in the cold seep sediments. It suggested that this sulfur formation pathway exist across many bacteria in the cold seep. This strongly indicates that this novel pathway might be frequently used by microbes and plays an important role in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle in cold seep.

Project description:The prognosis of liver cancer was inferior among tumors. New medicine treatments are urgently needed. In this study, a novel exopolysaccharide EPS364 was purified from Vibrio alginolyticus 364 which was isolated from South China Sea cold seep. Further research suggested that EPS364 consisted of mannose, glucosamine, gluconic acid, galactosamine, arabinose with a molar ratio of 5:9:3.4:0.8:1.5. The molecular weight of EPS364 was 14.8 kDa. Our results further indicated that EPS364 was β-linked and phosphorylated polysaccharide. Notably, EPS364 exhibited significant anti-tumor activity. Besides, EPS364 induced Huh7.5 cells apoptosis, collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Proteomic and quantitative real-time PCR analyses indicated that EPS364 blocked cancer cell adhesion and induced apoptosis via targeting FGF19–FGFR4 signaling pathway. These findings suggested that EPS364 was a promising anti-tumor agent for pharmacotherapy.

Project description:we applied metaproteomic approach to capture proteins from three size-fractionated microbial communities at the DCM in the basin of the South China Sea. The deep recovery of proteomes from a marine DCM plankton assemblage provides the highest resolution of metabolic activities as well as microbial niche differentiation, revealing a spectrum of biological processes carrying out by microbes at DCM of the SCS.

Project description:Chemical analysis of the compounds present in sediment, although informative, often is not indicative of the downstream biological effects that these contaminants exert on resident aquatic organisms. More direct molecular methods are needed to determine if marine life is affected by exposure to sediments. In this study, we used an aquatic multispecies microarray and q-PCR to investigate the effects on gene expression in juvenile sea bream (Sparus aurata) of two contaminated sediments defined as sediment 1 and 2 respectively, from marine areas in Northern Italy.
