The mussel larvae microbiome changes in response to a temperature rise
Zhu, You-Ting; Liang, Xiao; Liu, Tian-Tian; Power, Deborah Mary; Li, Yi-Feng; Yang, Jin-LongOcean warming caused by global climate change influences the function, diversity, and community dynamics of commensal microorganisms, including the hemolymph and the gut microbiota in mussels. However, the microbiota in hard-shelled mussel (Mytilus coruscus) larvae and the effect of temperature on the microbial community structure have yet to be studied. Herein, we investigated the core microbiota of M. coruscu...
Thyroid hormone receptor: a new player in epinephrine-induced larval metamorpho...
Li, Yi-Feng; Cheng, Yu-Lan; Chen, Ke; Cheng, Zhi-Yang; Zhu, Xin; Cardoso, João; Liang, Xiao; Zhu, You-Ting; Power, Deborah; Yang, Jin-LongMany marine invertebrate larvae undergo a dramatic morphological and physiological transition from a planktonic larva to a benthic juvenile. The mechanisms of this metamorphosis in bivalves are mainly unknown. The recent identification in bivalves of a thyroid hormone receptor (TR) gene raises the possibility that as occurs in vertebrate metamorphosis, TRs regulate this developmental process. An evolutionary st...
Complete genome of a marine bacterium Vibrio chagasii ECSMB14107 with the abili...
Liang, Xiao; Wang, Jin-Song; Liu, Yu-Zhu; Peng, Li-Hua; Li, Yi-Feng; Batista, Frederico; Power, Deborah; Gui, Lang; Yang, Jin-LongVibrio strains are pervasive in the aquatic environment and may form pathogenic and symbiotic relationships with the host. Vibrio chagasii ECSMB14107 was isolated from natural biofilms and is used as a model to elucidate the role of Vibrio in hard-shelled mussel (Mytilus coruscus) settlement, health and disease. The genome of the Vibrio strain ECSMB14107, comprised of two circular chromosomes that together enco...
Two toll-like receptors identified in the mantle of Mytilus coruscus are abunda...
Li, Yi-Feng; Liu, Yu-Zhu; Chen, Yan-Wen; Chen, Ke; Batista, Frederico; Cardoso, João CR; Chen, Yu-Ru; Peng, Li-Hua; Zhang, Ya; Zhu, You-TingToll-like receptors (TLRs) are a large family of pattern recognition receptors (PREs) that play a critical role in innate immunity. TLRs are activated when they recognize microbial associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) of bacteria, viruses, or fungus. In the present study, two TLRs were isolated from the mantle of the hard-shelled mussel (Mytilus coruscus) and designated McTLR2 and McTLR3 based on their sequenc...
Elevated seawater temperatures decrease microbial diversity in the gut of mytil...
Li, Yi-Feng; Yang, Na; Liang, Xiao; Yoshida, Asami; Osatomi, Kiyoshi; Power, Deborah; Batista, Frederico; Yang, Jin-LongThe gut microbial community is critical for the host immune system, and in recent years, it has been extensively studied in vertebrates using 'omic' technologies. In contrast, knowledge about how the interactions between water temperature and diet affect the gut microbiota of marine invertebrates that do not thermoregulate is much less studied. In the present study, the effect of elevated seawater temperature a...
