“…Here, the content of l ‐cysteine in the LL group was higher than that in HL group and in the control group, indicating that more fat was formed under low light conditions; consistent with this, WGR was greatest under low light conditions. Shikimic acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of metabolic compounds in vivo and is also a raw material for the synthesis of many alkaloids and indole derivatives (Cardoso et al., 2014). This acid is produced from glucose via glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway.…”

The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is among the most economically important seawater crustacean species. Overwintering is one of an important stage for aquatic animals, and light intensity has an important effect on the conservation of Scylla paramamosain during overwintering. Here, S. paramamosain were exposed to three different light intensities (0, 1.43 and 40.31 μmol m−2 s−1) for four months. Then, GC‐MS‐based metabolomic analyses of the hepatopancreas were performed to assess differences in the metabolites produced by S. paramamosain exposed to different light intensities. The weight gain rate (WGR) was also compared among treatment groups. The LL group displayed significantly greater WGRs than the HL group. A total of 117 and 128 significantly different metabolites (SDMs) were identified in LL group and HL group respectively (VIP > 1 and p < .05). The identified SDMs were associated with the amino acid metabolism, the carbohydrate metabolism, the fatty acid metabolism, the nucleotide metabolism and membrane transport. The results suggested that light intensity affected the metabolic pathways in S. paramamosain by influencing the citrate cycle (TCA cycle), the biosynthesis of amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids, ABC transporters, and the purine metabolism. Further integrated analyses of key metabolic pathways showed that the metabolism of S. paramamosain was more vigorous under light conditions.

Eichhornia crassipes is well known as an invasive aquatic plant. It is also used very effectively in phytoremediation, particularly for the rhizofiltration of effluents contaminated by heavy metals. In this article, we show that it is also an excellent bioindicator of water polluted by worrying organic pollutants such as endocrine disruptors and neonicotinoids. As a proof of concept, di- n -hexylphthalate, pentabromodiphenyl ether, nitenpyram, acetamiprid and bis (3- tert -butyl-4-hydroxy-6-methylphenyl) sulfide were clearly identified by UHPLC-HRMS or GC-MS in the root system of E. crassipes after a short period of exposure. These results open up new perspectives for the remediation of water polluted by alarming organic pollutants.

“…According to [20] in the previous century most of the faculties in the medicine sector switched their concern from natural to synthetic drugs. But for the last few decades this trend is shifting in the reverse direction [21]. In a survey 25% of the drug prescriptions in 35 countries are plants derived in non-modified or little modified [22,23].…”

In this paper we have studied the anti-bacterial and anti-fungal potential of Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (the common water hyacinth). The main aim was to find a new source against selected bacterial and fungal species was fractionated. Five fractions i.e. n-hexane, aqueous, chloroform, methanolic extracts and ethyl acetate were prepared and tested against four bacterial strains including MRSA (Methicilline resistance staphylococcus aurous), Streptococcus mutansand, Staphylococcus aurous and Serratia marcescense and four fungal strains i.e Alternaria alternate, polyspondylium pallidum, Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavous. The highest antibacterial activity was displayed by n-hexane fraction (46-48%) and the lowest activity was shown by crude methanolic extracts (38-44%) against all the selected bacterial strains. However in antfungal activities the highest activity was shown by crude methanolic extracts (35-65%) against the four selected fungal species and lowest activity was displayed by the aqueous fractions. The other fractions have also shown significant activites.
