Ascorbyl-6-palmitate (AP) was a lipid-soluble synthetic ester of ascorbic acid that has been used as a preservation agent for foods and as an antioxidant in cosmetics and related products. This study aims to investigate the effect of shearing management and ascorbyl palmitate administration on physiological and hematological profiles in under heat load Padjadjaran sheep. The physiological profile involves respiration rate (RR), Pulse rate (PR), and rectal temperature (RT). Twenty rams Padjadjaran 1 – 1,5 year-old, weighing between 25 to 47.5 kg used from sheep breeding station Purwakarta, West Java - Indonesia. There are two treatments level in this research, (1). Shearing divide into two groups, unshearing (c0) and shearing (c1); (2). AP administration also divides two groups, not given (a0) and given 400 mg each head daily (a1). The whole treatments were a0c0, a0c1, a1c0 and a1c1. Heat exposure application was exposed to sunlight when the sheep exposed, the animal tethered by rope at the neck region. The sheep exposed to the sun when the ambient temperature at least 34oC, 180 minutes each day, three days a week. The result showed that AP administration and shearing have interaction effects on RR, PR and RT. The level of glucose and total protein is affected by interaction effect of AP administration and shearing, while cholesterol affected to shearing. The conclusion, supplementing AP and shearing application could reduce the negative impact of heat stress on physiological and blood metabolite profiles of Padjadjaran sheep. Although the wool of local breed has not economic value, the shearing is regularly needed.

Genome mining of pigmented Pseudoalteromonas has revealed a large potential for the production of bioactive compounds and hydrolytic enzymes. The purpose of the present study was to explore this bioactivity potential in a potent antibiotic and enzyme producer, Pseudoalteromonas rubra strain S4059. Proteomic analyses (data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD023249) indicated that a highly efficient chitin degradation machinery was present in the red-pigmented P. rubra S4059 when grown on chitin. Four GH18 chitinases and two GH20 hexosaminidases were significantly upregulated under these conditions. GH19 chitinases, which are not common in bacteria, are consistently found in pigmented Pseudoalteromonas, and in S4059, GH19 was only detected when the bacterium was grown on chitin. To explore the possible role of GH19 in pigmented Pseudoalteromonas, we developed a protocol for genetic manipulation of S4059 and deleted the GH19 chitinase, and compared phenotypes of the mutant and wild type. However, none of the chitin degrading ability, secondary metabolite profile, or biofilm-forming capacity was affected by GH19 deletion. In conclusion, we developed a genetic manipulation protocol that can be used to unravel the bioactive potential of pigmented pseudoalteromonads. An efficient chitinolytic enzyme cocktail was identified in S4059, suggesting that this strain could be a candidate with industrial potential.

An epidemiological study was conducted to investigate the epidemiology of humpsore (stephanofilariasis) infection on cattle of different age and sex by collecting information from samples conveniently from different areas of Mymensingh district in Bangladesh. Clinical history and direct examination is done to detect the infection. Out of 503 samples total 43.14% cattle were found stephanofilariasis positive. The prevalence of stephanofilariasis was higher (27.24%) in cattle between 5-10 years old cattle than of less than 5 years (10.93%) and more than 10 years (4.97%) old cattle. Females have shown more positive (36.98%) result than male (male entire= 3.18%, male castrated= 2.98%) that was 6.16% (Odds ratio= 1; P value= 0.987, ?2= 0.003). Local breed shown 36.98% positive to stephanofilariasis followed in descending order by 2.98% in Red Sindhi, 0.99% in Sahiwal, 0.80% in Jersey cross, 0.40% in Holstein cross, Haryana and Red Chittagong breeds and 0.20% in Pabna breed. From the study it is shown that highest (14.1%) prevalence found in the location of neck region of local breed (12.72%) in female cattle (12.52%) and in the age group of 5-10years (9.74%) than other category on the basis of location of lesions.

Abstract Background Chimeras synthesized artificially by grafting are crucial to the breeding of perennial woody plants. ‘Hongrou Huyou’ (Citrus changshan-huyou + Citrus unshiu) is a new graft chimera originating from the junction where a Citrus changshan-huyou (“C”) scion was top-grafted onto a stock Satsuma mandarin ‘Owari’ (C. unshiu, “O”). The chimera was named OCC because the cell layer constitutions were O for Layer 1(L1) and C for L2 and L3. In this study, profiles of primary metabolites, volatiles and carotenoids derived from different tissues in OCC and the two donors were investigated, with the aim of determining the relationship between the layer donors and metabolites. Results The comparison of the metabolite profiles showed that the amount and composition of metabolites were different between the peels and the juice sacs, as well as between OCC and each of the two donors. The absence or presence of specific metabolites (such as the carotenoids violaxanthin and β-cryptoxanthin, the volatile hydrocarbon germacrene D, and the primary metabolites citric acid and sorbose) in each tissue was identified in the three phenotypes. According to principal component analysis (PCA), overall, the metabolites in the peel of the chimera were derived from donor C, whereas those in the juice sac of the chimera came from donor O. Conclusion The profiles of primary metabolites, volatiles and carotenoids derived from the peels and juice sacs of OCC and the two donors were systematically compared. The content and composition of metabolites were different between the tissues and between OCC and the each of the two donors. A clear donor dominant pattern of metabolite inheritance was observed in the different tissues of OCC and was basically consistent with the layer origin; the peel of the chimera was derived from C, and the juice sacs of the chimera came from O. These profiles provide potential chemical markers for genotype differentiation, citrus breeding assessment, and donor selection during artificial chimera synthesis.

Tuban coastal area is very rich in natural resources and environmental services. Along the coastal area there are many infrastructures and activity centers. Various forms of existing activities and uses have negative impact, so Tuban coastal area is vulnerable to environmental damage. Prevention efforts that can be done are through the study of environmental ethics. This research aims to study the value of Tuban coastal area, assess the environmental ethics of community in Tuban coastal area, and formulate the coastal environmental ethics of Tuban based on coastal area values. The data were collected from observation, field portraits, and interviews. Then the data were analysed by scoring and descriptive. The results showed that the highest coastal area values in Karangagung, Panyuran, Sukolilo and Kutorejo is economic value. The highest environmental ethics values is in Kutorejo, while the lowest is in Karangagung. Coastal environmental ethics of Tuban are formulated based on eleven coastal area values ??that contain of behaviors that should be carried out by coastal communities so that the sustainability of Tuban coastal area can be maintained. Keywords: environmental ethics; coastal area values; management, attitudes; coastal area
