TTX was extracted by 1% acetic acid-methanol, and most of the lipids were then removed by freezing lipid precipitation, followed by purification and concentration using immunoaffinity columns (IACs). Matrix effects were substantially reduced due to the high specificity of the IACs, and thus, background interference was avoided. Quantitation analysis was therefore performed using an external calibration curve with standards prepared in mobile phase. The method was evaluated by fortifying samples at 1, 10, and 100 ng/g, respectively, and the recoveries ranged from 75.8%--107%, with a relative standard deviation of less than 15%. The TTX calibration curves were linear over the range of 1-1 000 ~tg/L, with a detection limit of 0.3 ng/g and a quantification limit of 1 ng/g. Using this method, samples can be further analyzed using an information- dependent acquisition (IDA) experiment, in the positive mode, from a single liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry injection, which can provide an extra level of confirmation by matching the full product ion spectra acquired for a standard sample with those from an enhanced product ion (EPI) library. The scheduled multiple reaction monitoring method enabled TTX to be screened for, and TTX was positively identified using the IDA and EPI spectra. This method was successfully applied to analyze a total of 206 samples of fresh pufferfish tissues and pufferfish-based products. The results from this study show that the proposed method can be used to quantify and identify TTX in a single run with excellent sensitivity and reproducibility, and is suitable for the analysis of complex matrix pufferfish samples.展开更多

Takifugu puf-ferfish, which are an example of species evolved through adaptive radiation, possess a GIT that is specialized forantipredator defense and gluttonous feeding behaviors, offering a unique model to explore the effects of GrTcompartmentalization and host genetics on gut microbial communities. Here we compiled 78 full and partial-length 16 S rRNA amplicon datasets across three anteroposteriorly distinct intestinal sites in a cohort of cohab-itating artificial hybrid and purebred Takifugu pufferfishes. Our findings reveal a compositional and functionalbiogeography of pufferfish gut microbiota along the GIT and between host genetics. Additionally, the differentialabundance of specific amplicon sequence variants and their correlation with host genetic backgrounds and in-testinal sections highlight the role of environmental filtering in shaping microbial communities,with certainbacterial taxa exhibiting strong preferences for particular intestinal sites or genetic backgrounds,suggestingpotential localized adaptation or functional specialization. This study enhances our understanding of the intricateinterplay between host genetics, gut anatomy, and microbiota in fish, underscoring the importance of detailedmicrobial profiling in conservation efforts and aquaculture practices, and emphasizing the necessity of integratingfull-length 16 S rRNA sequencing with partial-length datasets to comprehensively understand microbial diversityand function, paving the way for improved fish health management and sustainable aquaculture strategies.展开更多
