Role of Heat Shock Protein Influencing Bioactive Compounds From Mangrove Tropical Estuarine Microalgae for Enhancement of Copepod Egg Production in Culture System

Abstract

In silico investigations of the natural bioactive compounds in the microalgae from mangrove tropical estuaries showed influence on heat shock protein -70 production. Incorporation of algae with such compounds in copepod high density culture might lead towards enhanced egg production. For this study, the structure of the ligands (bioactive compounds from microalgae in the region of mangrove estuary) and X-ray crystal structure of hsp-70 complex was taken from PDB (3P9Y) with its resolution 2.10 Å. The molecular docking study was performed using GOLD software. In the present study, totally ten bioactive compounds showed good molecular interaction with hsp-70 protein. Among these bioactive compounds, Quercetin from the microalga, Chlamydomonas eugametos exhibited highest molecular interaction and this compound is potential for enhancement of hsp-70 protein compared to other bioactive compounds and considered as a good nutrient enrichment for copepod culture as well as enhancement of hsp-70 protein against ROS and adverse environmental conditions. Successful high density copepod culture might lead to scaling up of hatchery rearing of marine finfish larvae.

Effects of Different Organic Vermicomposts Media as Alternative Growth Media for the Culture of Spirulina

“…The S. platensis has gained considerable popularity in the health food industry and increasingly as a protein supplement to aquaculture diets, human consumption, complementary dietary ingredient of feed for fish, shrimp and poultry, and increasingly as a protein supplement to aqua feeds (Usharani et al, 2012;Soni et al, 2017;Altaff and Vijayaraj, 2021a, b;Radha et al, 2022). As shown in Figure 2, the significantly highest protein content was reported.…”

“…It grows in water, can be harvested and processed easily (Soni et al, 2017). It also contains very high amount of micro-and macronutrients (Usharani et al, 2012;Soni et al, 2017;Altaff and Vijayaraj, 2021a, b;Radha et al, 2022). Cyanobacteria have been commercially explored owing to its capacity to generate great amount of important products, such as phycocyanin (Koru, 2012;Mobin et al, 2019).…”

The mass cultivation of Spirulina depends on a number of factors, including the availability of nutrients, temperature, and light (Soni et al, 2017).…”
