The whole mtDNA genomes size were ranging from 15977 to 15990 bp. Data revealed 1642 polymorphic sites and 1023 parsimony informative sites. The phylogenetic analysis based on neighbor joining tree disclosed two clades. It consisted of four (Dalian, Yantai, Qingdao and Nantong) and five populations (Shanghai, Zhoushan, Xiamen, Dongshan and Zhanjiang). Genetic differentiation coefficient (FST) was recorded higher i.e 0.61476. While, the AMOVA analysis showed that 61.48% of the genetic variation existed between the two clades. However, only 38.52% of the genetic variation existed within each clade. In further, the net genetic distance between the two groups was 0.030. The possible reason of differentiation is quaternary glacial period and Yangtze River.

  • Genetic Identification of Octopodidae Species in Southern California Seafood Markets: Species Diversity and Resource Implications
    Genetic Identification of Octopodidae Species in Southern California Seafood Markets: Species Diversity and Resource Implications Chase Martin Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation Scripps Institution of Oceanography University of California San Diego Abstract Various species of Octopodidae are commonly found in seafood markets throughout Southern California. Most of the octopus available for purchase is imported, with the majority of imports coming from various Asian nations. Despite the diversity of global octopus species, products are most commonly labeled as simply “octopus,” with some distinctions being made in size, e.g., “baby” or “little octopus.” In efforts to characterize species diversity, this study genetically tested 59 octopus samples from a variety of seafood markets in Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties. Universal 16S rRNA primers (ref) and CO1 primers developed by Folmer et al. (1994) were used for PCR amplification and sequencing of mtDNA. In all, 105 sequences were acquired. Seven species were identified with some confidence. Amphioctopus aegina was the most prevalent species, while two additional species were undetermined. Little available data exists pertaining to octopus fisheries of the countries of production of the samples. Most available information on octopus fisheries pertains to those of Mediterranean and North African nations, and identifies the Octopus vulgaris as the fished species. Characterizing octopus diversity in Southern California seafood markets and assessing labeling and countries of production provides the necessary first step for assessing the possible management implications of these fisheries and seafood supply chain logistics for this group of cephalopods. Introduction Octopuses are exclusively marine cephalopod mollusks that form the order Octopoda.

Octopus in the family Octopodidae (Mollusca: Cephalopoda) has been generally recognized as a “catch-all” genus. The monophyly of octopus species in China’s coastal waters has not yet been studied. In this paper, we inferred the phylogeny of 11 octopus species (family Octopodidae) in China’s coastal waters using nucleotide sequences of two mitochondrial DNA genes: cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S rRNA. Sequence analysis of both genes revealed that the 11 species of Octopodidae fell into four distinct groups, which were genetically distant from one another and exhibited identical phylogenetic resolution. The phylogenies indicated strongly that the genus Octopus in China’s coastal waters is also not monophyletic, and it is therefore clear that the Octopodidae systematics in this area requires major revision. It is demonstrated that partial sequence information of both the mitochondrial genes 16S rRNA and COI could be used as diagnostic molecular markers in the identification and resolution of the taxonomic ambiguity of Octopodidae species.

While the phosphate functional group is very common in small molecule natural products, nucleic acids, and as chemical modification in protein and peptides, phosphorous can form P–N (phosphoramidate), P–S (phosphorothioate), and P–C (e.g., phosphonate and phosphinate) linkages. While rare, these moieties play critical roles in many processes and in all forms of life. In this review we thoroughly categorize P–N, P–S, and P–C natural organophosphorus compounds. Information on biological source, biological activity, and biosynthesis is included, if known. This review also summarizes the role of phosphorylation on unusual amino acids in proteins (N- and S-phosphorylation) and reviews the natural phosphorothioate (P–S) and phosphoramidate (P–N) modifications of DNA and nucleotides with an emphasis on their role in the metabolism of the cell. We challenge the commonly held notion that nonphosphate organophosphorus functional groups are an oddity of biochemistry, with no central role in the metabolism of the cell.

  • DNA Barcoding Reveal Patterns of Species Diversity Among
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN DNA barcoding reveal patterns of species diversity among northwestern Pacific molluscs Received: 04 April 2016 Shao’e Sun, Qi Li, Lingfeng Kong, Hong Yu, Xiaodong Zheng, Ruihai Yu, Lina Dai, Yan Sun, Accepted: 25 August 2016 Jun Chen, Jun Liu, Lehai Ni, Yanwei Feng, Zhenzhen Yu, Shanmei Zou & Jiping Lin Published: 19 September 2016 This study represents the first comprehensive molecular assessment of northwestern Pacific molluscs. In total, 2801 DNA barcodes belonging to 569 species from China, Japan and Korea were analyzed. An overlap between intra- and interspecific genetic distances was present in 71 species. We tested the efficacy of this library by simulating a sequence-based specimen identification scenario using Best Match (BM), Best Close Match (BCM) and All Species Barcode (ASB) criteria with three threshold values. BM approach returned 89.15% true identifications (95.27% when excluding singletons). The highest success rate of congruent identifications was obtained with BCM at 0.053 threshold. The analysis of our barcode library together with public data resulted in 582 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), 72.2% of which was found to be concordantly with morphology-based identifications. The discrepancies were divided in two groups: sequences from different species clustered in a single BIN and conspecific sequences divided in one more BINs. In Neighbour-Joining phenogram, 2,320 (83.0%) queries fromed 355 (62.4%) species-specific barcode clusters allowing their successful identification. 33 species showed paraphyletic and haplotype sharing. 62 cases are represented by deeply diverged lineages. This study suggest an increased species diversity in this region, highlighting taxonomic revision and conservation strategy for the cryptic complexes.

    JKAU: Mar. Sci., Vol. 25. 2, pp: 23-40 (2014 A.D. / 1435 A.H.) DOI :10.4197/Mar. 25-2.2 Morphometric variations and genetic analysis of Lessepsian migrant Octopus aegina (Cephalopoda: Octopodidae) Inas H. Osman, Howaida R. Gabr, Salah G. El-Etreby and Saad Z. Mohammed Marine Science Department, Faculty of Science, Suez CanalUniversity, Ismailia, Egypt Abstract. The taxonomic status of Octopus aegina in Suez Canal, Gulf of Suez (north of the Red Sea) and Mediterranean Seawas elucidated by morphological analysis. Samples were collected seasonally from March 2009 till May 2010. Length weight relationships resulted in that O. aegina exhibits different growth pattern between the three studied sites. Twenty one morphometric indices were used to distinguish the three populations. Independent sample t-test revealed that in the three sites most of the indices are not significantly differed between males and females.While, one Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) revealed that all measured morphometric indices of O. aegina are significantly differed between the three studied sites. The morphometric differences between the three populations are most probably due to differences in environmental conditions and resources availability. The genetic evidence indicates that Lessepsian migrant (Octopus sp.) is Octopus aegina. Keywords: Octopus aegina, morphometric variation, Lessepsian migration. Introduction Cephalopod species diversity in the Suez Canal is changing rapidly over the last decades due to the introduction of non-indigenous species of Indo-Pacific origin through Lessepsian migration (EastMed., 2010) . To our knowledge, the existence of any octopus has not previously been 23 24 Inas. Osman ,Howaida .Gabr , Salah. El-Etreby ,Saad. Mohammed reported in Suez Canal area.

The octopus is the only invertebrate which captivity. Primary and secondary defence mechanisms studied included has been shown to use tools and is considered as a crypsis, hiding and escape behaviour. Deimatic behaviour was used by benchmark for cognitive sophistication (Finn et al. captive animals when camouflage failed and they were threatened. Crawling behaviour to escape from the aquarium was observed in all 2009). specimens. Stilt walking and bi-pedal locomotion were also observed. Octopuses are dioecious animals with internal As a defence behaviour, A. marginatus used aquarium rocks to protect fertilization. Breeding occurs seasonally. Mating the soft underside of their bodies. A. marginatus demonstrated tool use of coconut shells to make protective shelters, carrying the shells has been considered opportunistic, indiscriminate for future use. A female specimen also selected a coconut shell for and almost devoid of complex behaviour (Hanlon egg laying and performed parental care by continuously cleaning and & Messenger 1996).
