However, daily variations in the gut bacterial community composition of crustaceans remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate variations in the gut bacterial community composition of the Chinese swamp shrimp Neocaridina denticulata with the diurnal cycle. The gut samples of 600 shrimps were collected at four time points (6:00, 12:00, 18:00, and 24:00) within a 24 h period and 16S rRNA high-throughput gene sequencing was applied. The alpha-diversity and richness of the gut bacterial community were highest in the 24:00 group. Food digestion- and absorption-related pathways were highly enriched, indicating that metabolic process pathways are influenced by the daily cycle. Opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, including Flavobacterium, Acinetobacter, and Pseudomonas, were well-represented in the 18:00 and 24:00 groups, suggesting that the daily cycle shapes pathogenic bacterial community composition in the shrimp intestine. Our findings provide new insights into the role of diurnal cycles on gut bacteria in crustaceans and may aid in improving N. denticulata aquaculture.","PeriodicalId":9208,"journal":{"name":"Biological Rhythm Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"186 - 198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45325658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is vital to have a reliable questionnaire specifically for the population to assess the general chrononutrition behaviour. Thus, this study aimed to translate, validate, and test the reliability of the chrononutrition profile questionnaire (CPQ-M) for Malaysian adult population. A total of 202 Malaysian adults aged 18 to 65 years volunteered to participate in this study through a self-administered electronic form questionnaire. The construct validity was determined by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with varimax rotation. The internal consistency was determined by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (CAC), while the test–retest reliability was conducted using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The EFA of CPQ-M retained 18 items in a six-factor structure and explained 60.06% of the variance. The 18 items in both CPQ-M and original English CPQ (CPQ-E) were well correlated (r = 0.84 to 1.0). Of 17 items in the questionnaire, it showed good to excellent test–retest reliability (ICC: 0.82 to 0.97), except night eating habits (ICC value = 0.65). The overall CAC for CPQ-M was 0.75, indicating good internal consistency. The CPQ-M was shown to have good validity and reliability to assess the chrononutrition profile among Malaysian adults.","PeriodicalId":9208,"journal":{"name":"Biological Rhythm Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"164 - 185"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44238877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A significant high values of all the biochemical parameters under the study, viz., total protien, albumin, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and cholesterol were noted in summer in comparision to winter within each group. Also, Group III showed higher values of glucose, creatinine, cholesterol both in summer and winter when compared to the other study groups. Our results suggested that the heat stress has a more deleterious effect on the plasma biochemical parameters irrespective of the breed.

An exposure of 16 hours or more is considered a long-day photoperiod and 8 hours of light is a short-day photoperiod. Exposure to light prevents the secretion of melatonin from the pineal gland. Melatonin can influence the release of several hormones, including prolactin, cortisol, kisspeptin, GnRH and others. Eventually, it can also affect the reproductive performance of the animal. Though cattle are not a seasonal breeder, photoperiod has an indirect role in the onset of puberty, pregnancy and parturition. It can also promote the growth rate of the heifers and enhance their reproductive capabilities, which are very much desired by the producers. Therefore, photoperiod can be used as an effective and non-invasive tool in the reproductive management of cattle.","PeriodicalId":9208,"journal":{"name":"Biological Rhythm Research","volume":"53 1","pages":"1950 - 1960"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49316502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which photoperiod influences gut bacterial community composition in the Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis). In this study, high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was used to identify variations in E. sinensis gut bacteria under three different light: dark conditions (24 L:0 D, 0 L:24 D, and 12 L:12 D). Shannon and Chao1 indexes of community richness and diversity differed significantly between the complete light group and complete dark group on day 4, but these differences disappeared by day 6, suggesting that the gut bacterial community became disrupted on day 4, but adjusted to the new environment by day 6. Tenericutes and Proteobacteria were the dominant phyla under all conditions. Clostridium abundance increased significantly on day 6 under conditions of complete light and complete darkness. These data suggest that the biological clock of E. sinensis minimized changes in gut bacterial community composition under different light conditions. Considering that the gut bacterial community has profound effects on the host, understanding various mechanisms of its influence (including interactions with photoperiod) should be useful for improving E. sinensis aquaculture.","PeriodicalId":9208,"journal":{"name":"Biological Rhythm Research","volume":"54 1","pages":"141 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44867212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
