Epiphytic zooplankton community profiles in a typical urban wetland as revealed by DNA metabarcoding

Zooplankton,a crucial component of urban wetland,are one of the effective bioindicators for monitoring the feeding stocks of organisms at higher trophic levels and assessing the ecological quality of ecosystems.However,information about the characteristics of epiphytic zooplankton community structure resulted from traditional methods is limited and hindered by the large amount of detritus and sludge attached to the macrophytes.We investigated the epiphytic zooplankton communities associated with macrophytes(Vallisneria,Nymphaea,and Thalia dealbata)in a subtropical wetland using as DNA markers of the 18 S rRNA gene and the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(COI)gene.A total of 241 OTUs of zooplankton were obtained from COI amplicons,including 194 OTUs of Rotifera,22 of Cladocera,and 25 of Copepoda,while only 62 OTUs of zooplankton were obtained from 18 S rDNA amplicons including 34 OTUs of Rotifera and 28 of Copepoda.The zooplankton communities associated with the three macrophytes were similar,but they differed significantly from those in the open waters.However,there were no significant temporal differences among the zooplankton communities.Epiphytic zooplankton communities were dominated by littoral zooplankton such as Testudinella,Lecane,and Philodina.Microzooplankton,especially littoral species,utilize macrophytes as food sources and as refuges against predation.This further led to an increase inαandβdiversity of zooplankton communities in urban wetlands.Our result suggests that the joint use of multiple molecular markers could improve the taxonomic resolution and generate a comprehensive biodiversity profile of zooplankton.

DNA barcoding of fishes from Zhoushan coastal waters using mitochondrial COI and 12S rRNA genes

Accurate species identification is a key component of biodiversity research.DNA barcoding is an effective molecular method used for fish species identification.We aimed to study the DNA barcoding of fish in Zhoushan coastal waters,explore the differences and applicability of two gene fragments(12S rRNA and COI)of DNA barcoding in fish species identification,and established a comprehensive fish barcoding reference database.Two hundred and eighty-seven captured fish samples from Zhoushan coastal waters were identified using morphological characteristics and DNA barcoding.A total of 26412S rRNA sequences(belonging to eight orders,31 families,55 genera,and 66 species)and 188 COI sequences(belonging to seven orders,30 families,48 genera,and 58 species)were obtained.The lengths of the 12S rRNA sequences ranged from 165 to 178 bp,and the guanine-cytosine(GC)content was 45.37%.The average 12S rRNA interspecific and intraspecific genetic distances(K2P)were 0.10%and 26.66%,respectively.The length of the COI sequence ranged 574–655 bp,and the content of GC was 45.97%.The average 12S rRNA interspecific and intraspecific genetic distances(K2P)were 0.16%and 27.45%,respectively.The minimum interspecific genetic distances of 12S rRNA and COI(1.23%and 1.86%)were both greater than their maximum intraspecific genetic distances(2.42%and 8.66%).Three molecular analyses(NJ tree,ABGD,and GMYC)were performed to accurately identify and delineate species.Clustering errors occurred when the 12S rRNA sequences were delimited using the NJ tree method,and the delimitation results of ABGD and GMYC are consistent with the final species identification results.Our results demonstrate that DNA barcoding based on 12S rRNA and COI can be used as an effective tool for fish species identification,and 12S rRNA has good application prospects in the environmental DNA(eDNA)metabarcoding of marine fish.

MitochondrialtRNA^(leu(UUR)) Gene Mutation and the DecreasedActivity of Cytochrom e c Oxidase in Preeclam psia

To explore the roles of mitochondria tRNA leu(UUR) gene mutation at nucleotide 3243 and the activity of cytochrome c oxidase in pathogenesis of preeclampsia, 57 patients with preeclampsia and 60 normotension pregnancy women were screened for tRNA leu(UUR) nt3243 A→G mutation with the method of polymers chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism. Cytochrome c oxidase activity was determined by measuring the rate of cyanide sensitive oxidation of reduced cytochrome c using luminosity photographer. The results showed that cytochrome c oxidase activity was significantly lower in the preeclampsia group (0.30±0.39/min, n = 32) than that in the controls (0.73±0.54/min, n = 26, P <0.01). The mitochondria DNA mutation at position 3243 was not found in our series. The results suggested that the decreased activity of cytochrome c oxidase might impair the energy production, leading to the mitochondria dysfunction and placenta dysfunction in preeclampsia patients. Mitochondria dysfunction may be involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The mutation of mitochondria DNA may not be the common contributor of preeclampsia in our series.

为了解梭鲈种群的遗传结构,实验利用线粒体细胞色素c氧化酶Ⅰ亚基(COⅠ)基因部分序列分析了中国6个和中亚2个群体的遗传差异,并与欧洲群体的单倍型序列进行了比较。结果在640 bp的COⅠ基因序列中检测到5个变异位点,定义了7种单倍型,发现Hap1为8个梭鲈群体的共享单倍型,且与欧洲群体的HapA相同,在中国群体所占比例(93.36%)高于中亚群体(72.58%)和欧洲群体(53.85%);Hap2和Hap3是中国群体的特异单倍型,而Hap4~Hap7为中亚群体的特异单倍型。单倍型序列的聚类图和网络图均显示Hap1/A为梭鲈群体的原始单倍型,中国和中亚群体的特异单倍型相对于原始单倍型仅有1~2个位点的变异,属于Hap1/A的亚型,与欧洲群体的特异单倍型具有较大的差异。每个群体检测到1~4种单倍型,斋桑湖(ZS)群体单倍型最多,而中国的腾格里湖(NX)、兴凯湖(XK)和鸭绿江(YJ)群体仅有1个单倍型(Hap1);塔什干(TS)群体的单倍型多样性(Hd)和核苷酸多样性(π)最高(Hd=0.514±0.069;π=0.00079±0.00011),其次是ZS群体,而中国梭鲈群体的多样性参数较低。AMOVA分析结果显示,梭鲈群体间遗传变异占20.74%,群体间遗传分化程度较高(0.15≤F_(st)=0.20736<0.25),TS群体与ZS群体和中国群体间的遗传分化极大(F_(st)>0.25),中国群体中仅黑河(HH)群体与其他群体的遗传分化较大,而中国其他5个群体间无遗传分化。基于群体间遗传距离的系统进化树显示,来自中国的6个梭鲈群体与哈萨克斯坦的ZS群体聚为一支,而乌兹别克斯坦的TS群体独立为一支。研究结果为梭鲈群体的繁殖及放流管理提供了参考。

Genetic diversity and population structure of the sea star Asterias amurensis in the northern coast of China

The sea star Asterias amurensis is widely viewed as a severe“marine pest”because of its broad feeding habits.Over the past few decades,A.amurensis undergoes massive and sporadic population outbreaks worldwide,causing extensive economic and ecological losses to the local aquaculture industry and marine ecosystem.Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of A.amurensis can provide vital information for resource management.By analyzing the polymorphism of the mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I(COI)gene and ten simple sequence repeat(SSR)microsatellites markers,the genetic diversity and population structure of A.amurensis of four populations along the northern coast of China was uncovered.A total of 36 haplotypes were identified,and a main haplotype was found in four populations.The Qingdao(QD)population displayed the highest genetic diversity among all the populations.The AMOVA and pairwise F_(st)showed that there was small but statistically significant population differentiation among the four populations,especially between QD and Weihai(WH).Moreover,the principal component analysis(PCA)and admixture analysis showed that several individuals in Yantai(YT)and Dalian(DL)had little genetic association with other individuals.Overall,this study provided useful information of the genetic diversity and population structure of A.amurensis and will contribute to the resource management of A.amurensis in China.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Triuncina daii(Lepidoptera:Bombycidae) and its phylogenetic implications

The bombycid moth, Triuncina daii Xing Wang ＆ Zolotuhin, 2015, plays an important role for analyzing the phylogenetic relationships of the family Bombycidae （Lepidoptera： Bombycoidea）. Here we first describe the complete mitochondrial genome （mitogenome） of T. daii, which includes thirteen protein-coding genes （PCGs）, twenty-two transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and an A＋T-rich region, and we find the mitogenome is 15,482 bp in length （GenBank no. KY091643）. The genes order and orientation in the T. daii mitogenome are similar to other sequenced lepidopteran species. Except for cox1, all of the PCGs started with ATN. Twelve PCGs stopped at TAA except for cox1 which stops at a single T. Thirteen PCGs of available species are used to demonstrate the inner phylogenetic relationships of Bombycoidea. The bombycid species form a monophyletic clade with a bootstrap value of 100% and a posterior probability of 1.00.

Methylene blue protects mitochondrial respiration from ethanol withdrawal stress

Methylene blue (MB), a tricyclic phenothiazine drug, has been reported to enhance mitochondrial functions including mitochondrial respiration. By comparison, stress associated with abrupt ethanol withdrawal (EW) impedes mitochondrial functions. We investigated whether MB protects mitochondrial respiration and cell survival from EW stress through a key mitochondrial enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase (COX). We also investigated whether the MB’s protection involves the inhibition of an excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate. Male rats were exposed to and withdrawn from ethanol-diet (7.5%, 5 weeks). MB (0.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) was injected for the last 5 days of ethanol-diet and on the first day of EW. Cerebellum was then harvested to measure mitochondrial respiration and COX expression using real-time XF respirometer and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Separately, HT22 cells (a murine hippocampal cell line) were exposed to and abruptly withdrawn for 4 hours from chronic ethanol (100 mM, 3 days). MB was administered during EW with or without a COX inhibitor (NaN3) or glutamate. Mitochondrial respiration, COX content, and cell viability were then assessed using real-time XF respirometer, an immunoblot method, and Calcein assay, respectively. MB attenuated the suppressing effects of EW on mitochondrial respiration, COX content, and cell survival. This protection was reduced after NaN3 or glutamate cotreatment. These results suggest that MB treatment help maintain mitochondrial respiratory and cellular integrity through COX-upregulation and glutamateinhibition upon EW stress. MB treatment may help identify mitochondrial mechanisms underlying hyperexcitatory CNS disorders.

Genetic difference of Chinese horseshoe crab(Tachypleus tridentatus) in southeast coast of China based on mitochondrial COI gene analysis

Population genetic structure and historical demography of Chinese horseshoe crab (T.tridentatus)along southeast coast of China were inferred from the sequence data of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit Ⅰ (COI) fragment.The sequence analysis for 964 bp COI fragment was conducted in 28 individuals collected from five localities:Ninghai in Zhejiang Province,Meizhou and Zhangpu in Fujian Province,Beihai of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Danzhou of Hainan Province.Sequence variation was relatively low with a total of seven transitions observed.In all localities,Haplotype H3 was the dominant type observed among eight haplotypes defined previously,and was at the center of radiation in Median-Joining network.The prolonged star-like network suggests a signature of population expansions.The level of diversity was low in total,with haplotype diversity ( Hd) being equal to 0.765 and nucleotide diversity (π) being equal to 0.00118,respectively.The genetic structure analysis revealed the significant genetic difference between Ninghai and Danzhou populations.Both mismatch distribution analysis and Fu's Fs test provided consistent inference of historic population expansion.The low genetic diversity of horseshoe crab observed along China coast indicated that urgent measures should be taken to protect this rare marine animal.

Genetic variation and phylogenetic relationship of Hypoderaeum conoideum(Bloch, 1782) Dietz, 1909(Trematoda: Echinostomatidae) inferred from nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences

Objective:To explore genetic variations of Hypoderaeum conoideum collected from domestic ducks from 12 different localities in Thailand and Lao PDR,as well as their phylogenetic relationship with American and European isolates.Methods:The nucleotide sequences of their nuclear ribosomal DNA(ITS),mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1(CO1),and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1(ND1)were used to analyze genetic diversity indices.Results:We found relatively high levels of nucleotide polymorphism in ND1(4.02%),whereas moderate and low levels were observed in CO1(2.11%)and ITS(0.96%),respectively.Based on these polymorphisms,the 20 ND1,12 CO1,and 18 ITS haplotypes were classified,and several common haplotypes were observed in all samples.At least three major lineages,namely American,European and Asian lineages,have been classified by phylogenetic analyses based on ND1 sequences.Conclusions:Our report demonstrates that the ND1 gene is the most suitable genetic marker to explore genetic variation and phylogenetic relationship of Hypoderaeum conoideum.However,a combination of all loci for ND1,CO1 and ITS would be of great value toward further genetic investigation of this endemic worldwide parasite.Thus,comprehensive molecular genetic analyses of Hypoderaeum conoideum from its worldwide distribution is needed to further understanding of the evolutionary and systematic relationships of this parasite.

Genetic Variability of the Mitochondrial DNA in Honeybees （Apis mellifera L.） from Benin

The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic variability in bees Apis mellifera from Benin by using mitochondrial DNA （mtDNA） as a molecular marker in their cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and II （COI-COI1） intergenic region. A total of 304 bee colonies were sampled in 27 municipalities of the cashew growing area of Benin. These samples were analyzed by the cleaved amplified polymorphisms technique for determining the haplotypes of subspecies present in the sampled population. Eight PCR-RFLP profiles of African lineage A were then identified in the 304 samples of bees investigated. Forty-nine percent （49%） of the samples showed the profile of haplotype A1 （subspecies adansonii of Zambia）, 40% of haplotype A4 （subspecies scutellata of South Africa） and 3% of haplotype A 19 （subspecies adansonii of Guinea）. Five other haplotypes of the African branch （A） that had been described in a previous study were also identified： new 1 （2%）, new 2 （2%）, new 3 （1%）, new 4 （2%） and new 5 （1%）. This study showed that A. rnellifera from Benin belonged only to lineage A with the predominance of haplotypes AI and A4. This study will contribute to the development of coherent policies for conservation of local bees in Benin.
