Summary: Alkaline ionised water (AIW) can inactivate food-borne microorganisms and ensure the safety of vegetables and fruits. However, its effects on preserving fish are still unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of AIW on grass carp fillets during storage. The results showed that AIW treatment improved the shelf life and inhibited the growth of predominant bacteria. Microstructure analysis revealed that AIW treatment maintained the quality of fish. Overall, AIW treatment showed a protective effect in inactivating spoilage microorganisms and preserving the quality of grass carp fillets.

Summary: The study isolated and identified LAB from the native grass and fermented silage from the Mongolian Plateau. Selected strains influenced the bacterial community and quality of native grass silage. Lactobacillus was found to be the dominant genus in the native grass silages, with strain XM2 showing potential as a starter for improving silage quality.

Summary: This study investigated the regulatory effects of water quality and feed on the flavor and nutrition of grass carp. Results indicated that water quality, eaten and uneaten feed were significant factors influencing flavor and nutritional values. The control, GPT, and WWT modes showed pleasant flavor compounds in the flesh, while the FBT mode had lower flavor quality and poorer water quality.

Summary: In this study, a derivative of antimicrobial peptide Tatritin called 6His-Tatritin was designed and expressed. It showed broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and could regulate immune ability and intestinal microbial community in grass carp. This research provides a method for the application of Tatritin in aquaculture and offers insights into the function of antimicrobial peptides in fish immunity against pathogens.

Summary: The quality of drinking water deteriorates in the plumbing system, and this study provides evidence of the differences in water quality between the water main and customer taps. Biofilm contributes significantly to the total biomass in distribution pipes, while loose deposits have little contribution. The plumbing system has a significant impact on the active biomass and bacterial community, leading to differences in the relative abundance of certain bacterial species between tap water and the water main.

Summary: This study investigated nutrient transfer and microbial community shift during the decomposition of submerged macrophyte Hydrillaverticillata in flowing water and static water environments. The results showed that water flow stimulated cellulase activity and influenced nutrient transfer. Turnover affected microbial diversity, and water flow improved microbial community stability and altered the microbial food web.

Summary: This study investigated microbial communities and metabolic activity in water samples and sediments from typical grass carp ponds in southern China using high-throughput sequencing technology and community level physiological profiling (CLPP) methods. The results showed that carbohydrates, amino acids, and polymers were the most dominant carbon sources utilized by the microbial communities in both sediments and water samples. Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Firmicutes were the dominant bacteria phyla in sediments, while Actinobacteriota, Cyanobacteria, and Proteobacteria were dominant in water samples. The study also found correlations between nitrogen transformations bacterial genera and carbon source utilization in sediments, as well as significant negative correlations between specific bacterial genera in water samples.

Summary: The addition of lactic acid bacteria and molasses can improve the nutritional value and fermentation quality of native grass silage. The combination of lactic acid bacteria and molasses improves the fermentability and inhibits the growth of undesirable microorganisms. It also increases the relative abundance of beneficial Lactobacillus.

Summary: The microbial food web, consisting of phytoplankton, microzooplankton, and bacteria, plays a crucial role in the aquatic ecosystem. However, little is known about its functions in fish culture ponds. This study investigated the changes in the microbial food web in grass carp larvae culture ponds and explored the relationships between aquatic bacteria and intestinal bacteria in grass carp larvae.
