| complete mitochondrial genome of the longfin grouper epinephelus quoyanus (serranidae: epinephelinae). | the complete mitochondrial genome of epinephelus quoyanus is first presented in this article. it is a circular dna double strand of 16,797 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal rna genes, 22 transfer rna (trna) genes and a control region. the gene order and transcriptional orientation of e. quoyanus was same with most vertebrates. several short overlaps and intergenic spacers were found at different gene junctions. unusually, the co1 gene started with gtg codon and the ... | 2014 | 23631368 |
| characterization of alpha-2-macroglobulin from groupers. | alpha-2-macroglobulin (α-2-m) is a protease inhibitor broadly present in the plasma of vertebrates and invertebrates, and is an important non-specific humoral factor in defence system of the animals. this study conducted the immuno-analysis and mass spectrometric analysis methods to investigate the characteristics of the protease inhibitor, α-2-m, among groupers and related species. rabbit antiserum to the purified α-2-m of epinephelus coioides was used in different immunological methods to dete ... | 2013 | 23711467 |
| description of pseudorhabdosynochus justinei n. sp. (monogenea: diplectanidae) and redescription of p. vagampullum (young, 1969) kritsky & beverley-burton, 1986 from the gills of the longfin grouper epinephelus quoyanus (valenciennes) (perciformes: serranidae) in dapeng bay, south china sea. | pseudorhabdosynochus justinei n. sp. is reported and described from the gills of the longfin grouper epinephelus quoyanus in dapeng bay, south china sea off the town of nan'ao, shenzhen, guangdong province, china. p. justinei n. sp. is characterised by the presence of a male copulatory organ (mco) composed of a moderately quadriloculate organ, a short cone and a long, variable internal tube, and a sclerotised vagina comprising anterior 'trumpet' with a characteristic sclerotised ring, slightly m ... | 2007 | 17143574 |
