In this study, we sequenced the genomes of two Shewanella spp., newly isolated from the gut of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka, 1867). The whole-genome sequences reported here will expand the repertoire of genomic information for the members of the genus Shewanella and will provide important insights into their roles within microbial communities.

The glycan moiety of ganglioside HPG-7, isolated from the sea cucumber (Holothuria pervicax), was synthesized for the first time. The characteristic substructure, a trisialic acid sequence embedded in the glycan, was deliberately constructed by utilizing suitably differentiated sialyl units for various synthetic purposes. Finally, a pentasaccharide was successfully delivered as the hexyl glycos...

The palatability of various organs (body wall, cuvierian gland, viscera, longitudinal muscle bands and gonads) of sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota (Brandt) was studied by feeding experiments, performed on a freshwater fish Sarotherodon mossambicus and a marine fish Theraponjarbua. The result shows that the food pellets of the body wall were less toxic and more palatable than the gonads, vis...

We present here the complete genome sequences of two newly isolated Pseudoalteromonas tetraodonis and Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica strains, isolated from the gut of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus, to provide a useful means for facilitating the study of antibacterial, bacteriolytic, agarolytic, and algicidal activities of marine Pseudoalteromonas species.

OBJECTIVES This work aimed to enhance anti-skin cancer activities of Apostichopus japonicus, spiky sea cucumber, through ultrasonification extraction process at low temperature. METHODS Dried Apostichopus japonicus was extracted with an ultrasonification process at 50°C and 95 kHz for two hours (UE), and anti-skin cancer activities of the extract from the UE were also compared with those from...

Leishmaniasis is a tropical parasitic infection. The resistance and toxicity issues are the major complications and remain significant consequences related to the treatment of leishmaniasis with the recent and classical drugs. Thus there is an immediate requirement to develop new compounds for the treatment of this protozoan disease. Sea cucumbers or holothurians are potentially presented as th...

Introduction: Diarrhea is still a considerable health problem today, especially in developing countries, including Indonesia. One common etiology of diarrhea Vibrio cholerae, which causes many problems, such as inappropriate use antibiotics antibiotic resistance. The golden sea cucumber (Stichopus hermanii) has antibacterial potential against cholera. This study aims to determine the effect and...

Sea Cucumber (SC) is a synthesizing compiler for FPGAs that accepts Java class files as input (generated from Java source files) and that generates circuits that exploit the coarseand fine-grained parallelism available in the input class files. Programmers determine the level of coarse-grained parallelism available by organizing their circuit as a set of inter-communicating, concurrent threads ...
