Morpho-histological characterisation of the alimentary canal of an important food fish, Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer)
Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) is a food fish of increasing aquaculture importance. In order to improve our understanding on the digestive system and feeding of this species, morphological and histological features of the gut were studied. Morphologically, the Asian seabass gut is defined by a short and muscular esophagus, well-developed stomach and comparatively short intestine. Mucous secre...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Functional Domain of β2-Microglobulin from the Asian Seabass, Lates calcarifer
BACKGROUND β2-Microglobulin (β(2)M) is the light chain of major histocompatibility class I (MHC I) that binds non-covalently with the α heavy chain. Both proteins attach to the antigen peptide, presenting a complex to the T cell to be destroyed via the immune mechanism. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, a cDNA sequence encoding β(2)M in the Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) was ide...
متن کاملAnalysis of Stress-Responsive Transcriptome in the Intestine of Asian Seabass (Lates calcarifer) using RNA-Seq
Identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and regulated pathways in response to stressors using a whole-genome approach is critical to understanding the mechanisms underlying stress responses. We challenged Asian seabass with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Vibrio harveyi, high salinity and fasting, and sequenced six cDNA libraries of intestine samples using Roche 454 RNA-seq. Over 1 mi...
متن کاملAsian sea bass, Lates calcarifer
Lates calcarifer, commonly known as the Asian sea bass or barramundi, is an 16 interesting species that has great aquaculture potential in Asia including Malaysia and also 17 Australia. We have investigated essential fatty acid metabolism in this species, focusing on 18 the endogenous highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) synthesis pathway using both 19 biochemical and molecular biological appro...
متن کاملPrimary analysis of repeat elements of the Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) transcriptome and genome
As part of our Asian seabass genome project, we are generating an inventory of repeat elements in the genome and transcriptome. The karyotype showed a diploid number of 2n = 24 chromosomes with a variable number of B-chromosomes. The transcriptome and genome of Asian seabass were searched for repetitive elements with experimental and bioinformatics tools. Six different types of repeats constitu...
