[PMID: 38880362 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
White feces syndrome (WFS) is a multifactorial disease that affects global shrimp production. The diagnostic approach to identify WFS involves traditional and molecular scientific methods by examining histopathology, bioassays, PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and calorimetric estimation. The pathogenesis of WFS is closely associated with Vibrio spp., intestinal microbiota (IM) dysbiosis, and Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP). It also has caused over 10-15 % loss in the aquaculture industry and is also known to cause retardation, lethargy and slowly leading to high mortality in shrimp farms. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the molecular mechanisms processed under the association of IM dysbiosis, Vibrio spp., and EHP to analyze the impact of disease on the innate immune system of shrimp. However, only very few reviews have described the molecular pathways involved in WFS. Hence, this review aims to elucidate an in-depth analysis of molecular pathways involved in the innate immune system of shrimp and their response to pathogens. The analysis and understanding of the impact of shrimp's innate immune system on WFS would help in developing treatments to prevent the spread of disease, thereby improving the economic condition of shrimp farms worldwide.

Abstract
In recent years, shrimp aquaculture industry had grown significantly to become the major source of global shrimp production. Despite that, shrimp aquaculture production was impeded by various shrimp diseases over the past decades. Interestingly, different shrimp species demonstrated variable levels of immune strength and survival (immune-survival) ability towards different diseases, especially the much stronger immune-survival ability shown by the ancient shrimp species, Macrobrachium rosenbergii compared to other shrimp species. In this study, two important shrimp species, M. rosenbergii and Penaeus monodon (disease tolerant strain) (uninfected control and VpAHPND-infected) were compared to uncover the potential underlying genetic factors. The shrimp species were sampled, followed by RNA extraction and cDNA conversion. Five important immune-survival genes (C-type Lectin, HMGB, STAT, ALF3, and ATPase 8/6) were selected for PCR, sequencing, and subsequent genetics analysis. The overall genetic analyses conducted, including Analysis of Molecular Variance (AMOVA) and population differentiation, showed significant genetic differentiation (p<0.05) between different genes of M. rosenbergii and P. monodon. There was greater genetic divergence identified between HMGB subgroups of P. monodon (uninfected control and VpAHPND-infected) compared to other genes. Besides that, based on neutrality tests conducted, purifying selection was determined to be the main evolutionary driving force of M. rosenbergii and P. monodon with stronger purifying selection exhibited in M. rosenbergii genes. Potential balancing selection was identified for VpAHPND-infected HMGB subgroup whereas directional selection was detected for HMGB (both species) and ATPase 8/6 (only P. monodon) genes. The divergence times between M. rosenbergii and P. monodon genes were estimated through Bayesian molecular clock analysis, which were 438.6 mya (C-type Lectin), 1885.4 mya (HMGB), 432.6 mya (STAT), 448.1 mya (ALF3), and 426.4 mya (ATPase 8/6) respectively. In conclusion, important selection forces and evolutionary divergence information of immune-survival genes between M. rosenbergii and P. monodon were successfully identified.

Full-length transcriptome sequencing and comparative transcriptome analysis of Eriocheir sinensis in response to infection by the microsporidian Hepatospora eriocheir. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2022; 12:997574. [PMID: 36530442 PMCID: PMC9754153 DOI: 10.3389/fcimb.2022.997574] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
As a new generation of high-throughput sequencing technology, PacBio Iso-Seq technology (Iso-Seq) provides a better alternative sequencing method for the acquisition of full-length unigenes. In this study, a total of 22.27 gigabyte (Gb) subread bases and 128,614 non-redundant unigenes (mean length: 2,324 bp) were obtained from six main tissues of Eriocheir sinensis including the heart, nerve, intestine, muscle, gills and hepatopancreas. In addition, 74,732 unigenes were mapped to at least one of the following databases: Non-Redundant Protein Sequence Database (NR), Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), KEGG Orthology (KO) and Protein family (Pfam). In addition, 6696 transcription factors (TFs), 28,458 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and 94,230 mRNA-miRNA pairs were identified. Hepatospora eriocheir is the primary pathogen of E. sinensis and can cause hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (HPND); the intestine is the main target tissue. Here, we attempted to identify the key genes related to H. eriocheir infection in the intestines of E. sinensis. By combining Iso-Seq and Illumina RNA-seq analysis, we identified a total of 12,708 differentially expressed unigenes (DEUs; 6,696 upregulated and 6,012 downregulated) in the crab intestine following infection with H. eriocheir. Based on the biological analysis of these DEUs, several key processes were identified, including energy metabolism-related pathways, cell apoptosis and innate immune-related pathways. Twelve selected genes from these DEUs were subsequently verified by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis. Our findings enhance our understanding of the E. sinensis transcriptome and the specific association between E. sinensis and H. eriocheir infection.

Abstract
Biodrying is a treatment to remove moisture using bio-heat generated during organic degradation. Organic matter degradation and microbial metabolism were studied during the whole kitchen waste biodrying, using metagenomic analysis. After the 25-day biodrying process, carbohydrate, protein and lipid contents decreased by 83.7%, 27.8% and 79.3%, respectively, and their degradation efficiencies increased after the thermophilic phase. Lipase activity exceeded 10 mmol d-1 g-1 throughout biodrying. Cellulase and lipase activities recovered by 2.21% and 5.77%, respectively, after the thermophilic phase, while the protease activity had a maximum increment of 347%. Metabolic analysis revealed that carbohydrate, amino acid and lipid metabolism was possibly inhibited by the high temperature, but the relative abundances of related predicted functions recovered by more than 0.9%, 7% and 11%, respectively, by the end of biodrying. Protein function prediction suggests that β-oxidation, fatty acid biosynthesis, and the degradation of cellulose and chitin were possibly enhanced during the thermophilic phase. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis revealed that leucine, isoleucine and lysine could ultimately degraded to acetyl-CoA. Weissella, Aeribacillus and Bacillus were the genera with the most enriched functional genes during the whole biodrying process. These findings help elucidate the microbial degradation processes during biodrying, which provides further scientific support for improving the application of biodrying products.

Abstract
AbstractShrimp production, using a small‐scale enclosed pond system, is a rapidly growing aquaculture sector, which is valued around USD 18.30 billion in 2020. Intensified shrimp culture leads to the outbreak of transmissible diseases to eventually cause a huge loss in the production process and thus the economy. Studies on microRNA (miRNA) reveal that miRNA has an influential role in the host‐pathogen interaction during an infection. Recently, shrimp miRNA has been shown to help pathogen‐like viruses for their replication and infection. Several shrimp miRNAs were reported to be involved in enhancing host immunity against viral infection, especially white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infection and Vibrio infection caused by bacterial species, whereas some shrimp miRNAs were reported to be hijacked by WSSV and to enhance the viral replication and establish the infection in shrimp. This gives an insight into the double‐edged sword role played by shrimp miRNA during host‐pathogen interaction. In future, this role could be employed against the virus to strengthen the shrimp culture. In this review, we discuss the role of shrimp miRNA and their mechanism(s) associated with the establishment of host‐pathogen interaction during infection, which will reveal the complexity associated with shrimp infection.

Distinct bacterial communities in the environmental water, sediment and intestine between two crayfish-plant coculture ecosystems. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:5087-5101. [PMID: 34086119 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11369-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/27/2020] [Revised: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Microorganisms are an important part of productivity, water quality, and biogeochemical cycles in an aquaculture ecosystems and play a key role in determining the growth and fitness of aquaculture animals. Coculture ecosystems are widely applied with great significance in agricultural production worldwide. The crayfish-rice coculture ecosystem (CRCE) and crayfish-waterweed coculture ecosystem (CWCE) are two high-profile artificial ecosystems for crayfish culture. However, the bacterial communities of the environmental water, sediment, and intestine in the CRCE and CWCE remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the diversity, composition, and function of bacterial communities in water, sediment, and intestine samples from the CRCE to CWCE. The physicochemical factors of water [such as ORP (oxidation-reduction potential), TC (total carbon), TOC (total oxygen carbon), and NO3--N] and sediment [such as TC, TOC, TN (total nitrogen), and TP (total phosphate)] were significantly different in the CRCE and CWCE. The abundances of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Verrucomicrobia, Cyanobacteria, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, and Firmicutes were significantly different in the water bacterial communities of the CRCE and CWCE. The abundance of Vibrio in the crayfish intestine was higher in the CRCE than in the CWCE. The most abundant phyla in the CRCE and CWCE sediment were Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes. The abundances of genes involved in transporters and ABC transporters were different in water of CRCE and CWCE. The abundances of genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation were significantly higher in the crayfish intestine of the CRCE than in that of the CWCE. Furthermore, the functional genes associated with carbon metabolism were significantly more abundant in the sediment of the CRCE than in that of the CWCE. Spearman correlation analysis and redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the bacterial communities of the water and sediment in the CRCE and CWCE were correlated with environmental factors (pH, total carbon (TC), total oxygen carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP)). Our findings showed that the composition, diversity and function of the bacterial communities were distinct in the environmental water, sediment, and intestine of the CRCE and CWCE crayfish coculture ecosystems due to their different ecological patterns. These results can help guide healthy farming practices and deepen the understanding of bacterial communities in crayfish-plant coculture ecosystems from the perspective of bacterial ecology. KEY POINTS: • The composition of bacterial communities in the environmental water, sediment, and intestine of the CRCE and CWCE were distinct. ̉• The abundances of genes involved in transporters and ABC transporters were different in the water of the CRCE and CWCE. • The bacterial communities of the water and sediment in the CRCE and CWCE were correlated with some environmental factors.

Abstract
Each year from April to May, high mortality rates are reported in red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) cultured in Jiangsu and other regions, in China, and this phenomenon has come to be known as “Black May” disease (BMD). Therefore, in order to investigate the possible causes of this disease, this study gathered BMD-affected P. clarkii samples and performed transcriptome analysis on hepatopancreas, gill, and muscle tissues. A total of 19,995,164, 149,212,804, and 222,053,848 clean reads were respectively obtained from the gills, muscle, and hepatopancreas of BMD-affected P. clarkii, and 114,024 unigenes were identified. The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in gill, muscle, and hepatopancreas was 1703, 964, and 476, respectively. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses of the DEGs were then conducted. Based on KEGG pathway enrichment analysis, the most significantly differentially expressed pathways were mainly those involved with metabolism, human disease, and cellular processes. Further analysis of the significantly DEGs revealed that they were mainly related to the mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis pathway and that the expression of these DEGs was mostly down-regulated. Moreover, the expression of genes related to immune and metabolism-related pathways was also significantly down-regulated, and these significantly-inhibited pathways were the likely causes of P. clarkii death. Therefore, our results provide a basis for the identification of BMD causes.

Abstract
Intestine microbiota is tightly associated with host health status. Increasing studies have focused on assessing how host intestine microbiota is affected by biotic factors but ignored abiotic factors. Here, we aimed to understand the effects of salinity on shrimp intestine microbiota, by comparing the differences of intestine bacterial signatures of shrimp under low-salinity (LS) and high-salinity (HS) culture conditions. Our results found that intestine core bacterial taxa of shrimp under LS and HS culture conditions were different and that under HS contained more opportunistic pathogen species. Notably, compared with LS culture conditions, opportunistic pathogens (e.g., Vibrio species) were enriched in shrimp intestine under HS. Network analysis revealed that shrimp under HS culture conditions exhibited less connected and lower competitive intestine bacterial interspecies interactions compared with LS. In addition, under HS culture conditions, several opportunistic pathogens were identified as keystone species of intestine bacterial network in shrimp. Furthermore, the ecological drift process played a more important role in the intestine bacterial assembly of shrimp under HS culture conditions than that under LS. These above traits regarding the intestine microbiota of shrimp under HS culture conditions might lead to host at a higher risk of disease. Collectively, this work aids our understanding of the effects of salinity on shrimp intestine microbiota and helps for shrimp culture.

Abstract
AIMS Ammonia oxidation is a significant process of nitrogen cycles in a lot of ecosystems sediments while there are few studies in shrimp culture pond (SCP) sediments. This paper attempted to explore the community diversity and abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in SCP sediments at different culture stages. METHODS AND RESULTS We collected SCP sediments and analysed the community diversity and abundance of AOA and bacteria in shrimp pond sediment at different culture stages using the ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) gene with quantitative PCR (qPCR) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The AOB-amoA gene abundance was showed higher than AOA-amoA gene abundance in SCP sediments on Day 50 and Day 60 after shrimp larvae introducing into the pond, and the diversity of AOA in SCP sediments was higher than that of AOB. The phylogenetic tree revealed that the most of AOA were the member of Nitrosopumilus and Nitrososphaera, and the majority of AOB sequences were clustered into Nitrosospira, Nitrosomonas clusters 6a and 7. The AOA community has close relationship with total organic carbon (TOC), pH, total phosphorus (TP), nitrate reductase, urease, acid phosphatase and β-glucosidase. The AOB community was related to TOC, C/N and nitrate reductase. CONCLUSIONS AOA and AOB play the different ecological roles in SCP sediments at different culture stages. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Our results suggested that the different community diversity and abundance of AOA and AOB in SCP sediments, which may improve our ecological cognition of shrimp culture stages in SCP ecosystems.

Dissimilarity of microbial diversity of pond water, shrimp intestine and sediment in Aquamimicry system. AMB Express 2020; 10:180. [PMID: 33025112 PMCID: PMC7538476 DOI: 10.1186/s13568-020-01119-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/24/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The Pacific white shrimp, with the largest production in shrimp industry, has suffered from multiple severe viral and bacterial diseases, which calls for a more reliable and environmentally friendly system to promote shrimp culture. The "Aquamimicry system", mimicking the nature of aquatic ecosystems for the well-being of aquatic animals, has effectively increased shrimp production and been adapted in many countries. However, the microbial communities in the shrimp intestine and surrounding environment that act as an essential component in Aquamimicry remain largely unknown. In this study, the microbial composition and diversity alteration in shrimp intestine, surrounding water and sediment at different culture stages were investigated by high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene, obtaining 13,562 operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Results showed that the microbial communities in shrimp intestine and surrounding environment were significantly distinct from each other, and 23 distinguished taxa for each habitat were further characterized. The microbial communities differed significantly at different culture stages, confirmed by a great number of OTUs dramatically altered during the culture period. A small part of these altered OTUs were shared between shrimp intestine and surrounding environment, suggesting that the microbial alteration of intestine was not consistent with that of water and sediment. Regarding the high production of Aquamimicry farm used as a case in this study, the dissimilarity between intestinal and surrounding microbiota might be considered as a potential indicator for healthy status of shrimp farming, which provided hints on the appropriate culture practices to improve shrimp production.
