A new spiral nematode species, Scutellonema curcumae sp. n., was identified from the rhizosphere of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) in the Western Highlands of Vietnam. Integrative taxonomical analysis, combining detailed morphology and molecular characterization (ITS, 28S D2–D3 rDNA, and COI mtDNA), confirmed its distinctiveness. Scutellonema curcumae sp. n. is characterized by a unique combination of a spiral body, a hemispherical lip region with four annuli, a robust stylet, and a rounded tail with a prominent scutellum, forming a highly divergent lineage within the genus. Beyond its description, this study reveals a significant inverse correlation between nematode population density and the phytochemical quality of the host. High infestation levels were associated with a marked decline in total curcuminoid content. Notably, lower nematode density favored a specific shift in the curcuminoid profile, with bisdemethoxycurcumin levels increasing by up to 250%. These phytochemical alterations directly influenced the therapeutic potential of the rhizomes: lower infestation levels resulted in significantly enhanced antioxidant capacity (lower SC50 values) and cytotoxic activity (lower IC50 against HepG2 and A549 cell lines). This work represents the first report of a Scutellonema species associated with turmeric in Vietnam and underscores its detrimental impact on the medicinal and nutraceutical value of the crop. Our findings suggest that effective nematode management is crucial not only for yield protection but as a strategic intervention in precision agriculture to optimize the secondary metabolite profiles of medicinal plants.

Peptide sinh học thu nhận từ nhộng tằm của loài Bombyx mori đang được quan tâm như một nguồn hoạt chất tự nhiên tiềm năng trong công nghệ sinh học nhờ hàm lượng protein cao (50 – 60% khối lượng khô) và sự đa dạng về acid amin trong thành phần của nó. Thông qua quá trình thủy phân enzym, protein nhộng tằm có thể được phân cắt thành các peptide khối lượng phân tử thấp với khả năng hòa tan và hoạt tính sinh học cao hơn so với protein ban đầu. Nghiên cứu này nhằm thu nhận peptide từ dịch thủy phân protein nhộng tằm và đánh giá hoạt tính chống oxy hóa của các phân đoạn peptide có khối lượng thấp. Protein nhộng được thủy phân bằng enzym neutrase ở 60°C trong 3 giờ, sau đó dịch thủy phân được phân tách bằng hệ thống màng lọc nhằm thu nhận phân đoạn peptide dưới 10 kDa. Kết quả cho thấy hàm lượng peptide của phân đoạn thu được đạt 0,578 mg/mL, với giá trị IC₅₀ đạt 0,83 mg/mL. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy tiềm năng ứng dụng của peptide nhộng tằm làm nguyên liệu cho thực phẩm và sản xuất công nghiệp nói chung.

Recent advancements in metagenomics, particularly in the studies of conservative 16S rRNA sequences, have significantly accelerated our understanding of the relationship between corals and their associated microbial communities. While bacteria are known to be closely linked with corals, there is limited understanding of the connections between archaea and corals. Unlike previous 16S rRNA studies conducted in similar tropical coral reef ecosystems, we analyzed both the archaeal and bacterial communities associated with Acropora sp. and Lobophyllia sp. corals, as well as the surrounding sediment and water columns in Phu Quoc Island, Kien Giang Province, Vietnam. The data collected were sequenced using the 16S rRNA sequencing method and further analyzed using bioinformatics tools in the R programming language, employing DADA2 and phyloseq pipelines. We examined the compositions and diversity of bacteria and archaea in coral, sediment, and water column samples to establish potential connections between these two domains. The results revealed that archaea constituted a small percentage of all samples, averaging 3.18% in coral mucus and reaching an average of 7.49% in sediment samples. Among the most abundant archaeal taxa were Crenarchaeota and Nanoarchaeota, alongside bacterial taxa Gammabacteria, Cyanobacteria, and Desulfobacteria, which are associated with important metabolic processes within coral hosts. Alpha and beta diversity analyses confirmed the highest archaeal diversity in sediment samples and the distinct existence of microbial communities in each biotope. These findings complement our knowledge of archaea’s presence and potential roles in the coral-associated microbiome.

Marine-derived natural products have attracted much interest from scientists (chemists and pharmacologists), since many of their potential bioactivities are still unexplored. Among marine natural products discovered to date, 56% are anticancer, 13% are antibacterial, 5% are antifungal, and 3% are antiviral compounds. These compounds come from green algae (1%), red algae (4%), brown algae (5%), sponges (31%), corals (24%), and marine microorganisms (15%). Coral reefs, especially Porites lobata, secrete surface mucus layers (SMLs) that serve as essential barriers in host defense and microbial regulation. However, environmental stressors such as bleaching may alter the biochemical composition of this mucus, compromising its biological functions. This study aimed to compare the antioxidant properties of mucus obtained from healthy and bleached P. lobata corals to assess the impact of bleaching on their natural protective capabilities. The DPPH assay and flow cytometry with dihydroethidium (DHE) staining were used to evaluate the free radical scavenging activity and antioxidant capacity of coral surface mucus layer samples. The antioxidant activity of healthy coral mucus was significantly higher than that of bleached mucus, with a 2-fold increase at 1/5 and 1/10 dilutions, and nearly a 2.8-fold increase at 1/20 dilution. The results indicate that mucus from healthy corals exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activity than that from bleached corals. DPPH analysis showed stronger radical scavenging ability in healthy mucus extracts, while flow cytometry demonstrated a marked reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in treated HCT116 cells compared to both bleached mucus and control groups. These findings suggest a decline in the coral’s natural defense mechanisms post-bleaching. The mucus from healthy corals has the ability to reduce the accumulation of intracellular ROS in HCT116 cells, indicating its potential to against oxidative stress-related diseases. The robust antioxidant activity of healthy coral mucus highlights its potential as a source of novel marine-derived antioxidants. This study supports further investigation into the bioactive compounds from the surface mucus layer of healthy Porites spp. corals for potential therapeutic applications against oxidative stress-related diseases.
