To evaluate the nutritional and functional value ofSipunculus nudus, a rapid, simple and sensitive analytical method was developed using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with a triple quadrupole mass detection in multiple-reaction monitoring mode for the simultaneous quantitative determination of 25 free amino acids and 16 nucleosides and nucleobases inS. nuduswithin 20 min, which was confirmed to be reproducible and accurate. The limits of detection (LODs) and quantification (LOQs) were between 0.003–0.229 μg/mL and 0.008–0.763 μg/mL for the 41 analytes, respectively. The established method was applied to analyze 19 batches ofS. nudussamples from four habitats with two different processing methods. The results showed thatS. nuduscontained a variety of free amino acids, nucleosides and nucleobases in sufficient quantity and reasonable proportion. They also demonstrated that the contents of these compounds in different parts ofS. nuduswere significantly discriminating, which were in the order: (highest) coelomic fluid > body wall > intestine (lowest). The method is simple and accurate, and could serve as a technical support for establishing quality control ofS. nudusand other functional seafoods. Moreover, the research results also laid foundation for further exploitation and development ofS. nudus.Keywords:UPLC-TQ-MS/MS;Sipunculus nudus;free amino acid;nucleoside;nucleobase

W/O/W emulsions can be used to encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic bioactive as nutritional products. However, studies on protein stabilized gel-like W/O/W emulsions have rarely been reported, compared to the liquid state multiple emulsions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different oil–water ratios on the stability of W/O/W emulgels fabricated with salt-soluble proteins (SSPs) ofSipunculus nudus. The physical stability, structural characteristics, rheological properties, and encapsulation stability of vitamin C and β-carotene of double emulgels were investigated. The addition of W/O primary emulsion was determined to be 10% after the characterization of the morphology of double emulsion. The results of microstructure and rheological properties showed that the stability of W/O/W emulgels increased with the increasing concentration of SSPs. Additionally, the encapsulation efficiency of vitamin C and β-carotene were more than 87%, and 99%, respectively, and still could maintain around 50% retention of the antioxidant capacity after storage for 28 days at 4 °C. The aforementioned findings demonstrate that stable W/O/W emulgels are a viable option for active ingredients with an improvement in shelf stability and protection of functional activity.Keywords:W/O/W emulgels;Sipunculus nudus;salt-soluble proteins;vitamin C;β-carotene;co-encapsulation

The exposure of aquatic organisms to pollutants often occurs concomitantly with salinity fluctuations. Here, we reported the effects of erythromycin (0.250, 7.21, and 1030 μg/L) on marine invertebrate N. succinea and its intestinal microbiome under varying salinity levels (5‰, 15‰, and 30‰). The salinity elicited significant effects on the growth and intestinal microbiome of N. succinea. The susceptibility of the intestinal microbiome to erythromycin increased by 8.7- and 6.2-fold at salinities of 15‰ and 30‰, respectively, compared with that at 5‰ salinity. Erythromycin caused oxidative stress and histological changes in N. succinea intestines, and inhibited N. succinea growth in a concentration-dependent manner under 30‰ salinity with a maximum inhibition of 25%. At the intestinal microbial level, erythromycin enhanced the total cell counts at 5‰ salinity but reduced them at 15‰ salinity. Under all tested salinities, erythromycin diminished the antibiotic susceptibility of the intestinal microbiome. Two-way ANOVA revealed significant interactive effects (p < 0.05) between salinity and erythromycin on various parameters, including antibiotic susceptibility and intestinal microbial diversity. The present findings demonstrated the significant role of salinity in modulating the impacts of erythromycin, emphasizing the necessity to incorporate salinity fluctuations into environmental risk assessments.

As an essential thrombolytic agent, the tissue plasminogen activator receives increasing attention due to its longer half-life, lower immunogenicity, and easier administration, which are superior to other thrombolytic agents. In this study, the isolated and purified plasminogen activator from the sandworm (Perinereis aibuhitensis) was expressed inE.coli(Escherichia coli) to investigate its potential for simplifying the development process. The sandworm plasminogen activator was previously successfully cloned and expressed inE.coliwith low yield and activity in the culture supernatant. This low yield and activity prompted us to optimize its DNA sequence. Furthermore, to raise the efficiency in the separation of the target protein, the protein’s solubility was enhanced by fusing it with maltose-binding protein (MBP) tags. Eventually, the fibrinolytic activity was successfully restored after digestion with tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease. This study provides an innovative method of efficiently expressing and purifying plasminogen activators from sandworm inE.coliand broadens its applications in therapeutic treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including thrombosis, stroke, and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.
