Summary: This study investigates sexual dimorphism patterns among sympatric species of mud crabs Scylla olivacea, S. tranquebarica, and S. paramamosain. The results show that males exhibit larger body size dimensions and cheliped dimensions than females, while females have a wider abdomen. Additionally, a unique morphological variation was found in S. olivacea. Discriminant function analysis revealed sexually dimorphic characteristics in all three species.

Summary: This study found that rearing Mud crabs at 20 cm/s and 0 cm/s water velocity can reduce the stress on both male and female crabs. The energy reserves in the hepatopancreas and feces decrease significantly as the flow velocity increases, while the energy in the muscles and gonads of female crabs is higher at 20 cm/s.

Summary: This study investigates the susceptibility of mud crabs to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) compared to shrimp. The results show that mud crabs have relatively lower mortality rates when infected with WSSV compared to shrimp. The viral load in different tissues also varies between shrimp and mud crabs.

Summary: Asymmetric body traits, such as heterochely and handedness, play important roles in brachyuran crabs' behavioral responses. This study focuses on Scylla olivacea, a type of mud crab, and investigates the relation between cheliped characteristics and heterochely and handedness in relation to sex. The study finds that Scylla olivacea is heterochelous, with a predominant right-handedness. Furthermore, the study observes that sex does not influence heterochely or handedness occurrence, but the frequency of left-handedness increases with size, particularly in males. The study suggests that the higher risk of losing a dominant cheliped in males during mate and territorial defense may explain the higher left-handedness frequency. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of heterochely and handedness in mud crabs and could have implications for future management and development of less aggressive crab populations.

Summary: Salinity changes have significant impacts on the development, physiology, and molecular activity of marine organisms, as well as their associated microbiomes. This study focused on mud crabs, a species with extraordinary adaptability to diverse salinity conditions, to investigate the effects of salinity variations on their gut microbiota. High-throughput sequencing revealed a total of 57 bacterial phyla, with Firmicutes and Proteobacteria being dominant. The gut microbiome of mud crabs showed greater sensitivity to salinity gradients compared to the stomach microbiome. Specific bacterial taxa were enriched in the guts of mud crabs from different salinity settings. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated significant differences in gut bacterial functions between high and low salinity levels, particularly in signal transduction and cell growth and death pathways. These findings enhance our understanding of the composition and plasticity of mud crab microbiota and have potential implications for the aquaculture industry.

Summary: After modification, sago starch exhibited improved solubility in water, oil and water binding capacity, and resistant starch content in cooked samples, along with changes in granule morphology and increase in amylose content and double helix degree. Further research is needed to explore the potential of modified starch as a low glycemic food ingredient.

Summary: This study isolated 18 potential plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains indigenous to Metroxylon sagu, Rottb., out of which two strains were found to produce high levels of indole-3-acetic acid, fix nitrogen, and show significant activity in phosphate solubilisation. Molecular analysis identified their close identity towards Lysinibacillus sphaericus and Bacillus thuringiensis, indicating their potential as inoculant biofertilisers beneficial for Metroxylon sagu, Rottb. growth. Further evaluation is needed to assess their effectiveness in promoting sago seedlings growth under pot experiment.

Summary: In this study, lignin (LNPs) and iodo-lignin nanoparticles (ILNPs) were synthesized using a nanoprecipitation method, with mean particle sizes of 215 nm and 360 nm, respectively. Both LNPs and ILNPs exhibited excellent antifungal efficacy against various fungi. LNPs demonstrated an inhibition effect ranging from 25.81% to 65.29%, while ILNPs exhibited a superior inhibition effect ranging from 81.34% to 95.57%. This study demonstrates that LNPs and ILNPs are promising eco-friendly nano-fungicides for plant pathogenic fungi.
