Project description:In recent years, the scale culture of Chinese soft-shelled turtle has developed rapidly. However, diseases in aquaculture are the main problems affecting the rapid and healthy cultivation. Strengthening the immunity of Chinese soft-shelled turtles is extremely important to control the infection of pathogenic bacteria. Bacillus has attracted attention as a probiotic supplement in aquatic feeds.In our previous studies, we found that the addition of Bacillus subtilis B10 to diets could increase survival rate, daily weight gain (DG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of Chinese soft-shelled turtles, improving the activities of digestive enzyme and optimizing the microbial communities of intestinal in Chinese soft-shelled turtle.However, the study on the mechanism of Bacillus subtilis B10 in Chinese soft-shelled turtle culture remains rare. Therefore, in this study, we used Bacillus subtilis B10 to feed the turtle, and used RNA-seq to explore its mechanism.
Project description:To investigate the cellular responses of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle after niclosamide exposure, a total of 45 healthy juvenile turtles randomly selected and divided into three groups containing one control group (without NIC exposure, CG) and two experimental groups (exposed to 10 and 50 μg/L of NIC, respectively).

Project description:Transcriptome analysis on the liver of Chinese Soft-shelled Turtle (Pelodicus sinensis)
Project description:In the present study, the eggs of Chinese pond turtles (Mauremys reevesii) were incubated at three temperatures (26℃, 29℃ and 32℃). During the thermosensitive period (TSP) of incubation, the adrenal-kidney-gonad (AKG) complexes were sampled, and the transcriptome differences of the AKG samples were investigated using next-generation sequencing, then candidate genes associated with temperature-dependent sex determination of Reeves' Turtle were identified.
Project description:These experiments were performed to show a serogroup conversion of Vibrio cholerae from O1 to O139. For this purpose, V. cholerae O1 El Tor (A1552) was grown on crab shell fragments to induce natural competence for transformation. Purified DNA (4 ug each) from strain MO10, an O139 serogroup strain, was added after 24h and the cells were further grown for 24h. After detachment from the crab shell fragments, bacteria were poured into soft-agar and overlaid onto LB plates. Mukerjees El Tor phage V (a gift of Dr. M.S. Islam) was dropped onto the surface of the bacteria containing soft-agar. The plaques formed by killing non-transformed A1552 cells possessed resistant clones which were picked and further selected for opaque morphotype and agglutination by O139-specific antiserum. Four clones were selected from each independent experiment and analyzed by microarray hybridization (BioPrime. Array CGH Genomic Labeling from Invitrogen). Two microarray replicates were done per clone. Strain Names: AIIIpO139#1 / AIIIpO139#3 / AIIIpO139#4 / AIIIpO139#5 are four clones analyzed after the second experiment; AIVpO139#2 / AIVpO139#4 / AIVpO139#5 / AIVpO139#8 are four clones analyzed after the fourth independent experiment. Two MA replicates for each clone were done.
