Researchers Find Novel "Nano Killers" for Sterilization and Antifouling
Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB), an anaerobic bacterium, has long been generally considered to be the main culprit in causing corrosion failure of metal materials, which will bring significant impacts and invisible threats to human society.

Bacterial Thiosulfate Oxidation Pathway Drives Formation of Zero-Valent Sulfur
Recently, the research team led by Prof. SUN Chaomin from the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IOCAS) verified that Erythrobacter flavus (E. flavus) 21-3 formed zero-valent sulfur (ZVS) in deep-sea cold seep through in situ cu...

Fucoidan Can Alleviate Cerebrovascular Damage in Type 2 Diabetes Mice
In the global diabetic patients, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients account for the majority. Fucoidan, a kind of sulfated polysaccharides present in brown algae, is considered as a promising therapeutic agent because of its multiply bioactivities...

Climate Warming Causes Northward shift in Southern Limit of Seagrass Zostera marina
Global warming has resulted in an increase of the average upper ocean temperature by 0.07°C per decade. These temperature increases affect marine species and ecosystems in many ways, including enhanced mortality of key habitat-forming species such as s...

How Do Harmful Algal Blooms Change under Eutrophication and Warming Scenarios?
Under the combined impacts of global warming, eutrophication, and other driving forces, harmful algal blooms (HABs) worldwide are experiencing obvious changes. Around 2000, an apparent shift of bloom-causative microalgae from diatoms to dinoflagellates ...

Study Provides New Insights into Immunomodulatory Effects of Fucoidans from Saccharina japonica
Scavenger receptors (SRs) have been shown to participate in regulating the immune response of macrophages. Fucoidans from kelp have good immunomodulatory activity, however, the roles of SRs in the immunomodulatory activity of fucoidan from Saccharina ja...

Foxl2 and Dmrt1 Play Important Roles in Fish Sex Phenotype Formation
Study on fish sex differentiation is important both from academic and practical aspects, as sexual dimorphism is widespread in fish species. Forkhead transcription factor 2 (Foxl2) and doublesex and mab-3-related transcription factor 1 (Dmrt1) have been...
