Summary: The humpback grouper, a species in the Epinephelidae family, has unique body shape and slower growth rate. A high-quality chromosome-level genome was assembled successfully, offering crucial genomic information for further research on humpback groupers' population, evolution, and molecular-assisted breeding. Additionally, phylogenetic analysis revealed the evolutionary relationship of humpback groupers and identified genetic gaps that could potentially impact disease resistance and growth traits.

Summary: This research investigates the effects of replacing dietary fishmeal protein with blended alternative proteins on the growth, feed utilization, protein deposition, and gut micromorphology of humpback grouper. The study finds that up to 67.0% of dietary fishmeal protein can be replaced by a blend of soybean protein isolate (SPI), poultry by-product meal (PBM), and hemoglobin powder (HP) without negatively impacting the growth rate of humpback grouper.

Summary: The study successfully preserved Cromileptes altivelis embryos using non-permeable cryoprotectants for the first time. Trehalose, sucrose, and lactose were found to be less toxic to the embryos compared to fructose and glucose. Combining sucrose and trehalose at a 1:1 ratio resulted in higher survival rates.

Summary: This study shows that cultivation in a structured environment facilitates coexistence, evolution, and adaptation of bacterial communities. Co-cultivation in a biofilm model resulted in stable coexistence of two bacterial species and drove the evolution of high-yield variants. This study emphasizes the importance of structured environments for the cultivation and evolution of industrially important bacterial communities.

Summary: In this study, the growth of L. lactis and L. casei under different carbon sources was modeled using predictive microbiology. The results showed that the best function coefficients and fits were found in L. lactis + fructose and L. casei + inulin. The study also revealed differences in maximum growth rates, nutrient affinity, and growth time due to carbon source.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different LED wavelengths on the growth performance, antioxidant defense, and innate immune responses of sweetfish. The results showed that the blue-light group exhibited increased body weight and length after 12 weeks, while the red-light group showed inhibited growth performance and decreased feeding motivation. There was no difference in survival rate among the groups. The study concluded that blue LED has a positive effect on fish growth, antioxidant ability, innate immunity, and reproduction.

Summary: The current study aimed to characterize chicken intestinal immune system cells and assess the immune modulatory action of Clostridium perfringens and Lactococcus lactis on these cells. The results demonstrated varying distribution of immune cells along the avian gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) and showed that both C. perfringens and L. lactis increased the frequency of CD25+ T cells. However, stimulation with C. perfringens led to more cell death and decreased macrophage activation, while stimulation with L. lactis activated T cells and rescued the immune response of these cells. These findings suggest the potential application of L. lactis as a probiotic against C. perfringens infection in chickens.

Summary: In this study, Lactococcus lactis was used as an oral vaccine delivery system to express the VP6 protein of grass carp reovirus II (GCRV II). It was found that the recombinant L. lactis strain could induce mucosal immune protection, enhance nonspecific immune responses, and elicit both systemic and mucosal immunity in fish. This study suggests that L. lactis is a promising candidate for oral vaccine delivery in the aquaculture industry.

Summary: Recent studies have shown the important relationship between gut microbiota and tumor progression, leading to the development of microbiome-based treatments to enhance the effectiveness of anticancer therapies. Lactococcus lactis GEN3013, a genome-editing strain, has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and enhance the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. It activates the host immune system and shows promise as a biotherapeutic agent for cancer treatment.
