Due to their unique structures, COSs have been considered to be potential antibacterial agents and immune stimulators. Herein, we aimed to efficiently prepare the COSs by using a novel carrageenase CgkA from <i>Zobellia uliginosa</i> with high activity and further investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with COSs on the growth performance, serum biochemical parameters and non-specific immunity in Carassius auratus gibelio. The results indicated that the CgkA could effectively degrade the carrageenan into oligosaccharides with DPs of 2-6 and the oligosaccharides exhibited promoting effects on growth performance, serum biochemical index and non-specific immune parameters. After a 6-month feeding trial, the SR (Survival Ratio) was significantly higher in fish fed 0.1% (Diet 1), 0.2% (Diet 2), 0.5% (Diet 3) and 1% (Diet 4) COSs diets than that in the control group (<i>p</i> < 0.05). In addition, the supplementation of COSs decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content in the serum and increased the activity of lysozyme (LZM), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT).

However, this search involves sampling in natural reefs, and this is currently hampered by multiple ethical and technological constraints. Living coral displays, research laboratories, and biobanks currently offer an opportunity to continue to unravel coral chemodiversity, acting as \"Noah's Arks\" that may continue to support the bioprospecting of molecules of interest. This issue is even more relevant if one considers that tropical coral reefs currently face unprecedent threats and irreversible losses that may impair the biodiscovery of molecules with potential for new products, processes, and services. Living coral displays provide controlled environments for studying corals and producing both known and new metabolites under varied conditions, and they are not prone to common bottlenecks associated with bioprospecting in natural coral reefs, such as loss of the source and replicability. Research laboratories may focus on a particular coral species or bioactive compound using corals that were cultured <i>ex situ</i>, although they may differ from wild conspecifics in metabolite production both in quantitative and qualitative terms. Biobanks collect and preserve coral specimens, tissues, cells, and/or information (e.g., genes, associated microorganisms), which offers a plethora of data to support the study of bioactive compounds' mode of action without having to cope with issues related to access, standardization, and regulatory compliance. Bioprospecting in these settings faces several challenges and opportunities. On one hand, it is difficult to ensure the complexity of highly biodiverse ecosystems that shape the production and chemodiversity of corals. On the other hand, it is possible to maximize biomass production and fine tune the synthesis of metabolites of interest under highly controlled environments. Collaborative efforts are needed to overcome barriers and foster opportunities to fully harness the chemodiversity of tropical corals before in-depth knowledge of this pool of metabolites is irreversibly lost due to tropical coral reefs' degradation.</p>","PeriodicalId":18222,"journal":{"name":"Marine Drugs","volume":"23 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11857471/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143492589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
