- Complete mitochondrial genome sequence and phylogenetic analysis of Procambarus clarkii and Cambaroides dauricus from ChinaPublication . Luo, Liang; Xu, Yue; Wang, Shihui; Zhang, Rui; Guo, Kun; Xu, Wei; Zhao, ZhigangTo enhance the management and protection of crayfish genetic diversity and germplasm resources in Cambaroides dauricus (C. dauricus), a common species of Procambarus clarkii (P. clarkii) was used as a control group to compare the whole mitochondrial genome sequence using Illumina sequencing technology. This study found that the mitochondrial genome of C. dauricus is 15580 bp in length, with a base composition of A (31.84%), G (17.66%), C (9.42%), and T (41.08%) and a C + G content of 27.08%. The C + G in the D-loop is rich in 17.06%, indicating a significant preference. The mitochondrial genome of C. dauricus contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, with most of the genes labeled in the negative direction, except for a few genes that are labeled in the positive direction. The start codons of the ten coding sequences are ATG, and the quintessential TAA and TAG are the stop codons. This study also found that the Ka/Ks ratios of most protein-coding genes in the mitochondria of both shrimps are lower than 1, indicating weak natural selection, except for nad 2, nad 5, and cox 1. The Ka/Ks ratio of cox 3 is the lowest (less than 0.1), indicating that this protein-coding gene bears strong natural selection pressure and functional constraint in the process of mitochondrial genetic evolution of both shrimps. Furthermore, we constructed phylogenetic analyses based on the entire sequence, which effectively distinguishes the high body from other shrimp species of the genus based on the mitochondrial genome. This study provides molecular genetic data for the diversity investigation and protection of fishery resources with Chinese characteristics and a scientific reference for the evolutionary study of Procambarus.
- Microbiota comparison of amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii) intestine and waters at alkaline water and freshwater as the living environmentPublication . Luo, Liang; Yue, Xu; Chang, Yumei; Sun, Bo; Zhang, Limin; Zhao, Zhigang; Liang, LiqunThe intestinal microbiota of marine animals was influenced by the water and environment in which they live. The Amur ide (Leuciscus waleckii) adapts to extremely high alkalinity and is an ideal material for aquacultural studies of alkaline adaptation. In this study, we screened intestinal indicator flora and functional redundancy of intestinal colonies in alkaline-water species (AW) and freshwater species (FW) of Amur ide (L. waleckii) in these different aquatic environments. The available vs. community composition correlations were then predicted by contrasting each other with the flora contained in environmental water samples. Here, five microbial species and six genera were identified owing to the classifiable sequence. The intestinal microbiota that existed in AW and FW had approximately 1/3 of the operational taxonomic units in the respective living water environments, meaning gut microbes in the aqueous habitats will have an influential association with gut microbes in AW and FW. Compared to the bacterial composition of the FW intestine and that present in freshwater, Moraxella osloensis, Psychrobacter maritimus, and Psychrobacter faecalis were significantly enriched in the intestine of AW and alkaline water samples. In the FW intestine and freshwater samples, however, Cryptomonas curvata and Polynucleobacter asymbioticus were highly improved, which can be summarized as Enterobacter sp., the predominant population in the AW gut, while Aeromonas and Ralstonia being primarily present in FW intestines. Photosynthetic bacteria were most significant in both water samples. The results indicated that the intestinal microbiota composition, abundance, and diversity of AW and FW were quite different. In contrast, the microbial composition of the additional alkaline water and freshwater environments showed slight differences. This study expects to enhance our understanding of the alkalinity tolerance of L. waleckii, which will be provided for the breeding of fish living in alkaline water, and push the development of alkaline water resources with increased efficiency.
