Data on free amino acid contents in Japanese basket clams (Corbicula japonica) from Lake Abashiri and Abashirigawa River.

ABSTRACT: This data article provides the free amino acid contents of Japanese basket clams from different areas of Lake Abashiri and Abashirigawa River, which belong to the same water system. Abashirigawa River flows into the south side of Lake Abashiri and then runs out from the northeast side of the lake. Clams were caught in three different areas in Lake Abashiri (Memanbetsu, Yobito, and Katayama) and from one site at Abashirigawa River (Sancho). Free amino acids in the edible portion of the clams were analyzed using an automated amino acid analyzer. The clams showed high contents in ?-alanine, alanine, glutamic acid, and glycine. The clams caught in the river contains relatively higher amino acid contents. The analyzed data are provided in table format.

Comparison of gut microbial communities, free amino acids or fatty acids contents in the muscle of wild Aristichthys nobilis from Xinlicheng reservoir and Chagan lake.

Project description:BackgroundFish is favored by consumers, while amino acids and fatty acids are the main nutrients of muscle. At present, it has been found that the gut microbial community may be involved in the regulation of host material anabolism. Juvenile and adult bighead carp (A. nobilis) from Chagan lake and Xinlicheng reservoir were selected, and divided into four groups to compare the differences of gut microbial communities, free amino acid and fatty acids in muscle.ResultsThe results showed that fish in different lakes or ages contained specific microbiota, the gut microbial structure was similar, but the microbial content was significantly different. Gut microbial abundance of juvenile fish in Chagan lake was significantly higher than that of other groups. Phylum level analysis Proteobacteria was the dominant gut bacteria of fish in both adult and juvenile fish from two separate lakes. Actinobacteria was another dominant bacterial phylum in juvenile fish in both lakes. Contents of free amino acids and fatty acids in muscle were detected, and the relationships between them and gut microbial communities were analyzed. Bighead carp grew from juvenile to adult, Actinobacteria abundance decreased (P < 0.05) and Proteobacteria increased (P < 0.05). Proteobacteria was positively correlated with the contents of Thr, Lys, Pro, Asp, Gly and Glu, Actinobacteria was negatively correlated with Met and His. Meanwhile, EPA and DHA were positively correlated with Proteobacteria, EPA and DHA were not significantly associated with Actinobacteria.ConclusionIt was speculated that the contents of free amino acids and fatty acids in muscle might be affected by the difference of gut microbiota, thus affecting the taste and nutritional quality.

Free amino acid contents of selected Ethiopian plant and fungi species: a search for alternative natural free amino acid sources for cosmeceutical applications.

Project description:Free amino acids (FAAs), the major constituents of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF), are very important for maintaining the moisture balance of human skin and their deficiency results in dry skin conditions. There is a great interest in the identification and use of nature-based sources of these molecules for such cosmeceutical applications. The objective of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the FAA contents of selected Ethiopian plant and fungi species; and select the best sources so as to use them for the stated purpose. About 59 different plant species and oyster mushroom were included in the study and the concentrations of 27 FAAs were analyzed. Each sample was collected, lyophilized, extracted using aqueous solvent, derivatized with Fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride (Fmoc-Cl) prior to solid-phase extraction and quantified using Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS/MS) system. All the 27 FAAs were detected in most of the samples. The dominant FAAs that are part of the NMF were found at sufficiently high concentration in the mushroom and some of the plants. This indicates that FAAs that could be included in the preparations for the management of dry skin condition can be obtained from a single natural resource and the use of these resources for the specified purpose have both economic and therapeutic advantage in addition to fulfilling customer needs.

Knockdown of a nutrient amino acid transporter gene LdNAT1 reduces free neutral amino acid contents and impairs Leptinotarsa decemlineata pupation.

Project description:A Leptinotarsa decemlineata SLC6 NAT gene (LdNAT1) was cloned. LdNAT1 was highly expressed in the larval alimentary canal especially midgut. LdNAT1 mRNA levels were high right after the molt and low just before the molt. JH and a JH analog pyriproxyfen activated LdNAT1 expression. RNAi of an allatostatin gene LdAS-C increased JH and upregulated LdNAT1 transcription. Conversely, silencing of a JH biosynthesis gene LdJHAMT decreased JH and reduced LdNAT1 expression. Moreover, 20E and an ecdysteroid agonist halofenozide repressed LdNAT1 expression, whereas a decrease in 20E by RNAi of an ecdysteroidogenesis gene LdSHD and disruption of 20E signaling by knockdown of LdE75 and LdFTZ-F1 activated LdNAT1 expression. Thus, LdNAT1 responded to both 20E and JH. Moreover, knockdown of LdNAT1 reduced the contents of cysteine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine and serine in the larval bodies and increased the contents of these amino acids in the larval feces. Furthermore, RNAi of LdNAT1 inhibited insulin/target of rapamycin pathway, lowered 20E and JH titers, reduced 20E and JH signaling, retarded larval growth and impaired pupation. These data showed that LdNAT1 was involved in the absorption of several neutral amino acids critical for larval growth and metamorphosis.

Data on 137Cs concentration factor of freshwater fish and aquatic organisms in lake and river ecosystems.

Project description:This article provides the data which were analyzed in the research article "Different factors determine 137Cs concentration factors of freshwater fish and aquatic organisms in lake and river ecosystems" (Y. Ishii, S. S. Matsuzaki, S. Hayashi, 2019) [1]. Radionuclide accumulation in aquatic organism is defined in terms of the concentration factor (CF), which is calculated as the radionuclide concentration in the organism (Bq kg-1) divided by that in the surrounding water (Bq L-1). Quantification of the radionuclide CF allows estimation of environmental radionuclide transfer and the potential risks of consuming fish contaminated with the radionuclide. We calculated the 137Cs CF values for freshwater fish and aquatic organisms using the monitoring data of multiple sites in five rivers and three lakes of Fukushima in years 2013-2017 after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. The data also include the 137Cs activity concentration of the water and water chemistry data (pH, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, electric conductivity, salinity, total organic carbon, suspended solid concentration, turbidity) at each sampling location associated with each CF value.

Contents of total fat, fatty acids, starch, sugars and dietary fibre in Swedish market basket diets.

Project description:The typical dietary supply of total fat, fatty acids, starch, sugars, polyols and dietary fibre in Sweden was assessed from analyses of market baskets (MB) purchased in 2005 and 2010. MB were based on food balance sheets, with each basket comprising about 130 foods, which represented more than 90% of annual dietary supply. Foods were divided into ten to twelve categories. In 2010, total fat contributed 34% of energy (E%), SFA 14.3 E%, MUFA 12.8 E%, PUFA 4.6 E%, n-6 fatty acids 3.6 E%, n-3 fatty acids 1.0 E% and trans-fatty acids (TFA) 0.5 E%. Glycaemic carbohydrates contributed 47 E%, monosaccharides 9 E%, sucrose 11 E%, disaccharides 15 E% and total sugars 24 E%. Added sugars contributed about 15 E%. Dietary fibre content was about 1.7 g/MJ in the 2010 MB. Compared with the 2005 MB, the dietary supply of TFA and dietary fibre was lower, otherwise differences were small. The present MB survey shows that the content of SFA and added sugars was higher than the current Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, while the content of PUFA and especially dietary fibre was lower. TFA levels decreased and dietary supply was well below the recommendations of the WHO. These results emphasise a focus on quality and food sources of fat and carbohydrates, limiting foods rich in SFA and added sugars and replacing them with foods rich in dietary fibre and cis-unsaturated fatty acids.

Dataset on free amino acids contents of Serra da Estrela PDO cheeses determined by UPLC-DAD-MS/MS.

Project description:The composition of Serra da Estrela PDO cheeses (total fat, total protein, salt and free amino acids) was assessed using NIR spectrophotometry and UPLC-DAD-MS/MS. In total, 24 cheeses were acquired from 6 certified cheesemakers located in 5 different municipalities within the delimited PDO geographical region. Cheeses were produced from raw ewe milk of two autochthonous Portuguese sheep breeds, between November 2017 and March 2018, and were acquired after 45 days of maturation. The data include the mean (and respective standard deviations) levels of moisture (%), total fat (%), total protein (%) and salt (%), obtained by NIR spectrophotometry. As well the mean (and respective standard deviations) of free amino acids contents (mg/100 g of cheese, in wet basis) evaluated using a UPLC-DAD-MS/MS method are shown. The latter data include information regarding 8 essential free amino acids (histidine, leucine-isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine) and 9 non-essential free amino acids (arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamine, glutamic acid, proline, tyrosine and serine). Leucine and isoleucine, being isomers, were quantified together. Leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine and serine were the most abundant essential free amino acids and cysteine, proline and asparagine were the most abundant non-essential free amino acids. Free amino acids contents depended on the cheese producer as well as on the production time-period.

Impact on genetic differences among various chicken breeds on free amino acid contents of egg yolk and albumen.

Project description:Eggs play important roles as food resources and nutraceuticals, to alleviate malnutrition and to improve health status in the world. Since free amino acids contribute to the nutritional values and food tastes, we investigated a total of 81 eggs from five chicken breeds, which are Australorp, Nagoya (NGY), Rhode Island Red (RIR), Shamo (SHA), Ukokkei, and two F1 hybrids (NGYxRIR and SHAxRIR) to test impact on genetic differences in 10 egg traits, 20 yolk amino acid traits, and 18 albumen amino acid traits. One-way ANOVA revealed significant breed effects on 10 egg traits, 20 yolk amino acid traits, and 15 albumen amino acid traits. Moreover, a significant heterosis effect on yolk aspartic acid was identified. In addition, positive correlations were found broadly among traits within each trait category (egg traits, yolk amino acid traits, and albumen amino acid traits), whereas there were basically no or weak correlations among the trait categories. These results suggest that almost all traits can be dramatically modified by genetic factor, and there will be partially independent production systems of amino acids into yolk and albumen. Since there will be typical quantitative genetic architecture of egg contents, further genetic analyses will be needed.

Pollen data from bottom sediments of a tundra lake in the Yerkuta River basin on the Yamal Peninsula.

Project description:This article extends the findings of our previous research "Preliminary reconstruction of climate changes and vegetation cover inferred from pollen study of the arctic lake bottom sediments from the southwestern part of the Yamal Peninsula" (G.R. Nigamatzyanova, N.M. Nigmatullin, B.I. Gareev, O.N. Tumanov, L.A. Frolova, 21st International Multidisciplinary Scientific GeoConference SGEM. 4 (2021) 415-421. https://doi.org/10.5593/sgem2021/4.1/s19.53) [1]. The Late Holocene vegetation history of the southern part of the Yamal Peninsula was reconstructed using the pollen data obtained from bottom sediments of the tundra lake K1 (68°15.320' N, 69°07.675' E) near the Yerkuta research station in the Yerkuta River basin. A 30-cm-long sediment core was drilled during the expedition to the lake in 2014. A total of 15 samples were taken at 1-cm intervals for palynological analysis. To extract pollen grains, prior chemical treatment of the samples by the standard methods. The palynological dataset was exported in Excel sheets, one listing the raw pollen counts and the other containing the pollen percentages determined with respect to the total pollen counts for all taxa. The palynodiagram illustrating the variations in pollen and spore percentages with depth is given. These palynological records yield insight into the vegetation dynamics on the Yamal Peninsula in response to the climate forcing and may be of practical importance in regional syntheses of the vegetation history in the region.

Effects of Changes in Arctic Lake and River Ice

Project description:Climatic changes to freshwater ice in the Arctic are projected to produce a variety of effects on hydrologic, ecological, and socio-economic systems. Key hydrologic impacts include changes to low flows, lake evaporation regimes and water levels, and river-ice break-up severity and timing. The latter are of particular concern because of their effect on river geomorphology, vegetation, sediment and nutrient fluxes, and sustainment of riparian aquatic habitats. Changes in ice phenology will affect a wide range of related biological aspects of seasonality. Some changes are likely to be gradual, but others could be more abrupt as systems cross critical ecological thresholds. Transportation and hydroelectric production are two of the socio-economic sectors most vulnerable to change in freshwater-ice regimes. Ice roads will require expensive on-land replacements while hydroelectric operations will both benefit and be challenged. The ability to undertake some traditional harvesting methods will also be affected. Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s13280-011-0217-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Molecular Diet Analysis of Asian Clams for Supplementary Biodiversity Monitoring: A Case Study of Nakdong River Estuary.

Project description:Environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from the gut contents of filter feeders can be used to identify biodiversity in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, we used eDNA from the gut contents of the Asian clam Corbicula fluminea to examine biodiversity within estuarine ecosystem. Field sampling was conducted at three points in the Nakdong River Estuary, which is characterised by closed estuarine features resulting from the presence of an estuarine barrage. The collected C. fluminea samples were dissected to separate the gut contents, and the extracted eDNA was amplified using 18S V9 primer targeting all eukaryote-derived DNA. The amplified DNA was sequenced using a next-generation sequencing (NGS) technique, and a BLASTn search was performed based on the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database for taxa identification. We obtained 23 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs), including fish (approximately 8.70%), copepods (approximately 17.39%), and green algae (approximately 21.74%), representing a wide range of habitats. Furthermore, 8 out of the 20 families were identified through comparisons with reference data from conventional field surveys, and the OTUs of elusive migratory fish were detected. The results support the application of C. fluminea as an eDNA sampler for supplementary biodiversity monitoring.
