Drastic alteration in macronutrients causes large changes in gene expression in the photosynthetic unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Preliminary data suggested that cells follow a biphasic response to this change hinging on the initiation of lipid accumulation, and we hypothesized that ...
Bamboo rats (Rhizomys pruinosus) are among the few mammals that lives on a bamboo-based diet which is mainly composed of lignocellulose. However, the mechanisms of adaptation of their gut microbiome and metabolic systems in the degradation of lignocellulose are largely unknown. Here, we ...
Plant roots host defined microbial communities that differ from those in the surrounding soil, and these communities shift dynamically in response to plant development and environmental changes. Whilst it is widely accepted that root exudates play a key role in the assembly and dynamics of root-a...
Abstract:This study comparatively evaluated the effects of four aquaculture systems pond (PD), rice field (RF), round bucket (RB) and water trough (WT) on the flesh quality, gut microbiota and metabolites of Acrossocheilus fasciatus. Compared with the other three groups, texture analysis revealed...
Zygnematophytes are the closest algal relatives of land plants. They hold key information to infer how the earliest land plants overcame the barrage of terrestrial stressors, prime of which is osmotic stress. Here, we applied two osmotic stressors on a unicellular and a multicellular representati...
