RESUMEN

Remote sensing (RS) is a widely used technology for monitoring mangrove forests, but there are some inconsistencies in their capacity to assess mangrove ecosystem health status. Our review aims to investigate how RS and in situ data are being applied together in assessments of mangrove forest health conditions. Our results showed that commonly the concept of mangrove ecosystem health was not defined and indicators that were not clearly related to it were applied. Furthermore, low to medium spatial resolution satellites were more used to detect changes in the mangrove forests' environmental condition than the high spatial resolution ones, and the use of RS with data collected in situ was present in only 39% of the articles. We concluded that studies consider vegetation indexes the same as vigor, so the mangrove ecosystem health; and vigor as the only indicator needed, not using in situ data to validate the mangrove health status.

RESUMEN

Water-use strategies play a crucial role in the adaptive capabilities of mangroves to the saline intertidal conditions, yet the intricacies of daily water-use patterns in mangrove species, which are pivotal for maintaining water balance, remain poorly understood. In this comprehensive study, we aimed to clarify the water use strategies of three co-occurring mangrove species, Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum and Kandelia obovata, through stem sap flow monitoring, leaf gas exchange and stem diameter change measurements. Our findings revealed that the daily sap flow density of Avicennia and Aegiceras reached the peak about 1 h earlier than that of Kandelia. When transpiration was strong, Kandelia and Aegiceras used stem storage to meet water demand, while Avicennia synchronized stem water storage. These three mangrove species adopted cross-peak water used and unique stem water storage to regulate their water balance. In Kandelia, the daily sap flow in per sapwood area was significantly lower, while water-use efficiency was significantly higher than those of Avicennia and Aegiceras, indicating that Kandelia adopted a more conservative and efficient water-use strategy. Sap flow in Avicennia was the most sensitive to environmental changes, while Kandelia limited water dissipation by tightly controlling stomata. Meteorological factors (photosynthetically active radiation, vapor pressure deficit and air temperature) were the main driving factors of sap flow. The increase of soil temperature can promote the water use of mangrove species, while the increase of salinity resulted in more conservative water use. Our results highlight the diversity of daily water-use strategies among the three co-occurring mangrove species, pinpointing Kandelia as the most adaptive at navigating the changing conditions of intertidal habitats in the future climate. In conclusion, our findings provide a mesoscale perspective on water-use characteristics of mangroves and also provides theoretical basis for mangroves afforestation and ecological restoration.

RESUMEN

Mangroves, due to their unique habitats, endure dual stressors from land to ocean and ocean to land directions. While extensive researches have been conducted on land-ocean stressors, studies on ocean-land stressors like upwelling are considerably scarce. In this study, ecophysiological, transcriptome, and metabolome analyses were conducted to determine the responses of mangrove plant (Bruguiera gymnorhiza, B. gymnorhiza) to upwelling stress. The results suggested that upwelling stress in B. gymnorhiza induces oxidative stress and membrane damage, which are mitigated by the synergistic actions of antioxidant enzymes and osmoprotectants. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that upregulated genes related to oxidation-reduction and carbohydrate metabolism, along with accumulated metabolites such as amino acids, lipids, phenols, and organic acids, contribute to enhancing antioxidant capacity and maintaining osmotic balance. Further analysis identified key KEGG pathways involved in the response to upwelling stress, including amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate and energy metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signal transduction. These findings provide vital information into the multi-level response mechanisms of mangrove plants to upwelling stress.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Salt Overly Sensitive 1 (SOS1), a plasma membrane Na+/H+ exchanger, is essential for plant salt tolerance. Salt damage is a significant abiotic stress that impacts plant species globally. All living organisms require copper (Cu), a necessary micronutrient and a protein cofactor for many biological and physiological processes. High Cu concentrations, however, may result in pollution that inhibits the growth and development of plants. The function and production of mangrove ecosystems are significantly impacted by rising salinity and copper contamination. RESULTS: A genome-wide analysis and bioinformatics techniques were used in this study to identify 20 SOS1 genes in the genome of Kandelia obovata. Most of the SOS1 genes were found on the plasma membrane and dispersed over 11 of the 18 chromosomes. Based on phylogenetic analysis, KoSOS1s can be categorized into four groups, similar to Solanum tuberosum. Kandelia obovata's SOS1 gene family expanded due to tandem and segmental duplication. These SOS1 homologs shared similar protein structures, according to the results of the conserved motif analysis. The coding regions of 20 KoSOS1 genes consist of amino acids ranging from 466 to 1221, while the exons include amino acids ranging from 3 to 23. In addition, we found that the 2.0 kb upstream promoter region of the KoSOS1s gene contains several cis-elements associated with phytohormones and stress responses. According to the expression experiments, seven randomly chosen genes experienced up- and down-regulation of their expression levels in response to copper (CuCl2) and salt stressors. CONCLUSIONS: For the first time, this work systematically identified SOS1 genes in Kandelia obovata. Our investigations also encompassed physicochemical properties, evolution, and expression patterns, thereby furnishing a theoretical framework for subsequent research endeavours aimed at functionally characterizing the Kandelia obovata SOS1 genes throughout the life cycle of plants.

RESUMEN

Co-cultivation is a powerful emerging tool for awakening biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) that remain transcriptionally silent under artificial culture conditions. It has recently been used increasingly extensively to study natural interactions and discover new bioactive metabolites. As a part of our project aiming at the discovery of structurally novel and biologically active natural products from mangrove endophytic fungi, an established co-culture of a strain of Phomopsis asparagi DHS-48 with another Phomopsis genus fungus DHS-11, both endophytes in mangrove Rhizophora mangle, proved to be very efficient to induce the production of new metabolites as well as to increase the yields of respective target metabolites. A detailed chemical investigation of the minor metabolites produced by the co-culture of these two titled fungal strains led to the isolation of six alkaloids (1-6), two sterols (7, 8), and six polyketides (9-14). In addition, all the compounds except 8 and 10, as well as three new metabolites phomopyrazine (1), phomosterol C (7), and phomopyrone E (9), were not present in discrete fungal cultures and only detected in the co-cultures. The structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, and the absolute configurations were assumed by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. Subsequently, the cytotoxic, immunosuppressive, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory properties of all the isolated metabolites were determined in vitro. Compound 8 exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against ConA-induced T and LPS-induced B murine splenic lymphocytes, with IC50 values of 35.75 ± 1.09 and 47.65 ± 1.21 µM, respectively.

RESUMEN

Four new polyketides, namely furantides A-B (1-2), talamin E (3) and arugosinacid A (4), and two known polyketides were obtained from the mangrove-derived fungus Penicillium sp. HDN15-312 using the One Strain Many Compounds (OSMAC) strategy. Their chemical structures, including configurations, were elucidated by detailed analysis of extensive NMR spectra, HRESIMS and ECD. The DPPH radicals scavenging activity of 3, with an IC50 value of 6.79 µM, was better than vitamin C.

RESUMEN

Positioned at the dynamic interface between terrestrial and marine realms, mangroves embody a vibrant tapestry of biodiversity, encompassing an array of plants, animals, and microorganisms. These microbial inhabitants of mangrove habitats have emerged as a pivotal resource for antimicrobials and a plethora of pharmaceutically valuable compounds, spanning enzymes, antineoplastic agents, pesticides, immunosuppressants, and immunomodulators. This review delves into the recent landscape (January 2021 to May 2024, according to the time of publication) of novel secondary metabolites isolated from mangrove-associated microorganisms, analyzing 41 microbial strains that collectively yielded 165 distinct compounds. Our objective is to assess the productivity and potential of natural products derived from microbial populations within mangrove ecosystems in recent times. Notably, fungi stand out as the preeminent contributors to the emergence of these novel natural products, underscoring their pivotal role in the bioprospecting endeavors within these unique environments.

RESUMEN

Vivipary is a prominent feature of mangroves, allowing seeds to complete germination while attached to the mother plant, and equips propagules to endure and flourish in challenging coastal intertidal wetlands. However, vivipary-associated genetic mechanisms remain largely elusive. Genomes of two viviparous mangrove species and a non-viviparous inland relative were sequenced and assembled at the chromosome level. Comparative genomic analyses between viviparous and non-viviparous genomes revealed that DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 (DOG1) family genes (DFGs), the proteins from which are crucial for seed dormancy, germination, and reserve accumulation, are either lost or dysfunctional in the entire lineage of true viviparous mangroves but are present and functional in their inland, non-viviparous relatives. Transcriptome dynamics at key stages of vivipary further highlighted the roles of phytohormonal homeostasis, proteins stored in mature seeds, and proanthocyanidins in vivipary under conditions lacking DFGs. Population genomic analyses elucidate dynamics of syntenic regions surrounding the missing DFGs. Our findings demonstrated the genetic foundation of constitutive vivipary in Rhizophoraceae mangroves.

RESUMEN

The fungus Talaromyces hainanensis, isolated from the mangrove soil, was characterized as a novel species by morphology observation and phylogenetic analyses. Four new γ-lactam alkaloids talaroilactams A-D (1-4) and two reported compounds harzianic acid (5) and isoharzianic acid (6) were identified from the fungus T. hainanensis WHUF0341, assisted by OSMAC along with molecular networking approaches. Their structures were determined through ECD calculations and spectroscopic analyses. Moreover, the biosynthetic route of 1-4 was also proposed. Compound 1 displayed potent cytotoxicity against HepG2 cell lines, with an IC50 value of 10.75 ± 1.11 µM. In addition, network pharmacology was employed to dissect the probable mechanisms contributing to the antihepatocellular carcinoma effects of compound 1, revealing that cytotoxicity was mainly associated with proteolysis, negative regulation of autophagy, inflammatory response, and the renin-angiotensin system. These results not only expanded the chemical space of natural products from the mangrove associated fungi but also afforded promising lead compounds for developing the antihepatocellular carcinoma agents.

RESUMEN

Mangrove habitats support taxonomically diverse benthic communities, yet their effects on microphytobenthos remain understudied. This study investigated the benthic diatom community structure of 17 microtidal mangrove estuaries situated along the east coast of South Africa. High sediment organic content (≤ 18.1 %) and clay fraction (≤ 17.5 %) measured in the Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata habitats favoured diverse communities (H' > 3) and the presence of unique benthic diatom species such as Gyrosigma balticum. The habitat complexity and stabilisation provided by the mangrove forests served as microrefugia for colonisation of benthic diatoms. Taxa displayed a broad range of nutrient tolerance, with some nutrient tolerant species (e.g., Halamphora acutiuscula, Navicula clausii, Navicula gregaria, and Navicula radiosa) dominating the communities in the Mbashe and Mnyameni estuaries. The presence of these nutrient tolerant taxa in relatively pristine systems serves as an early warning for possible anthropogenic nutrient enrichment.

RESUMEN

Melanins are heterogenous biopolymers produced by many macro and microorganisms. They enhance the ecological fitness of the producer organisms by improving their virulence and protecting them from radiation, osmotic and heat stresses. Fungi synthesise either DOPA or DHN melanin and deposit them on their cell walls. Some fungal isolates produce water soluble melanin (pyomelanin) which is excerted out of the hyphae into the surrounding environment. Pyomelanin, a polymer of homogentisate, exhibits antimicrobial, UV screening, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory activities and recent studies also show that pyomelanin could find use in space travel as radiation shield. However, scant literature is available on fungi with ability to produce pyomelanin. We report for the first time that Amorosia littoralis occurs as a root endophyte in mangrove species including Avicennia marina, Bruguiera cylindrica and Bruguiera gymnorhiza and produces pyomelanin. Considering the various technological uses of pyomelanin, this study underscores the need to explore fungi of different habitats to identify hyperproducers and to obtain chemically diverse pyomelanin.

RESUMEN

Mangroves' ability to store carbon (C) has long been recognized, but little is known about whether planted mangroves can store C as efficiently as naturally established (i.e., intact) stands and in which time frame. Through Bayesian logistic models compiled from 40 years of data and built from 684 planted mangrove stands worldwide, we found that biomass C stock culminated at 71 to 73% to that of intact stands ~20 years after planting. Furthermore, prioritizing mixed-species planting including Rhizophora spp. would maximize C accumulation within the biomass compared to monospecific planting. Despite a 25% increase in the first 5 years following planting, no notable change was observed in the soil C stocks thereafter, which remains at a constant value of 75% to that of intact soil C stock, suggesting that planting effectively prevents further C losses due to land use change. These results have strong implications for mangrove restoration planning and serve as a baseline for future C buildup assessments.

RESUMEN

A taxonomic revision of Rhizophora L. (Rhizophoraceae) in Thailand is presented. Two species, R. apiculata Blume and R. mucronata Poir., are enumerated with updated morphological descriptions, illustrations and a taxonomic identification key, together with notes on distributions, habitats and ecology, phenology, conservation assessments, etymology, vernacular names, uses, and specimens examined. Three names in Rhizophora, are lectotypified: R. apiculata and two associated synonyms of R. mucronata (i.e., R. latifolia Miq. and R. macrorrhiza Griff.). R. longissima Blanco, a synonym of R. mucronata, is neotypified. All two Rhizophora species have a conservation assessment of Least Concern (LC). Based on the morphological identification, these two species can be distinguished from one another by the shape and width of the leaf laminae and the length of a terminal stiff point of the leaf laminae; the type and position of the inflorescences and the number of flowers per inflorescence; the character and color of the bracteoles; the presence or absence of the flower pedicels; the shape of the mature flower buds; the shape, color, and texture of the sepals; the shape, character, and the presence or absence of hairs of the petals; the number of stamens per flower; the size of the fruits; the color and size of the hypocotyls; the color and diameter of the cotyledonous cylindrical tubes; and the color of the colleters and exudate. The thick cuticles, sunken stomata, large hypodermal cells, and cork warts are adaptive anatomical features of leaves in Rhizophora that live in the mangrove environments. The pollen grains of Thai Rhizophora species are tricolporate, prolate spheroidal or oblate spheroidal shapes, small-sized, and reticulate exine sculpturing.

RESUMEN

A dense estuarine aggregation of Diadumene paranaensis Beneti, Stampar, Maronna, Morandini & Da Silveira, 2015 associated with Rhizophora mangle L. was found at the Arpoeiras Beach, mouth of Acaraú River, Ceará, Brazilian semi-arid coast. Here, we compare biological and taxonomical traits with the type material, collected from the portuary zone of Paranaguá Bay, and propose modifications in the diagnosis of the species, as well as of the family Diadumenidae and genus Diadumene, to align with the description of our specimens. In addition, we discuss its tolerance to high salinity and predict a much broader geographic range for this sea anemone in Brazil.

RESUMEN

Mangrove derived actinomycetes are a rich reservoir of bioactive natural products and play important roles in pharmaceutical chemistry. In a screen of actinomycetes from mangrove rhizosphere sedimental environments, the isolated strain Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40068 displayed strong antibacterial activity. Further fractionation of the extract yielded four new compounds kebanmycins A-D (1-4) and two known analogues FD-594 (5) and the aglycon (6). The structures of 1-6 were determined based on extensive spectroscopic data and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. 1-3 featured a fused pyranonaphthaxanthene as an integral part of a 6/6/6/6/6/6 polycyclic motif, and showed bioactivity against a series of Gram-positive bacteria and cytotoxicity to several human tumor cells. In addition, the kebanmycins biosynthetic gene cluster (keb) was identified in Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 40068, and KebMT2 was biochemically characterized as a tailoring sugar-O-methyltransferase, leading to a proposed biosynthetic route to 1-6. This study paves the way to further investigate 1 as a potential lead compound.

RESUMEN

Mangrove ecosystems, which occupy intertidal environments across tropical and subtropical regions, provide crucial ecosystem services, such as protecting the coastal areas by reducing the impact of cyclones, storms, and tidal waves. Anthropogenic activities such as human settlements, deforestation, pollution, and climate change have increased the risk of biological invasions in mangrove habitats. Plant species can be introduced to mangrove habitats via anthropogenic means, such as trade and transportation, urbanisation, and agriculture, as well as through natural processes like wind, floods, cyclones, and animal-assisted seed dispersal. Additionally, some native plants can become invasive due to the changes in the mangrove ecosystem. Invasive species can significantly affect coastal ecosystems by out-competing native flora for resources, thereby altering fundamental properties, functions, and ecosystem services of the mangrove forests. The successful establishment of invasive species depends on a complex interplay of factors involving the biological attributes of the invading species and the ecological dynamics of the invaded habitat. This review focuses on exploring the mechanisms of invasion, strategies used by invasive plants, the effects of invasive plants on mangrove habitats and their possible management strategies. Based on the literature, managing invasive species is possible by biological, chemical, or physical methods. Some non-native mangrove species introduced through restoration activities can often become more intrusive than native species. Therefore, restoration activities should prioritise avoiding the use of non-native plant species.

RESUMEN

Five new naphthalene derivatives dalesconosides A-D, F (1-4, 6), a known synthetic analogue named dalesconoside E (5), and eighteen known compounds (7-24) were isolated from Daldinia eschscholzii MCZ-18, which is an endophytic fungus obtained from the Chinese mangrove plant Ceriops tagal. Differing from previously reported naphthalenes, compounds 1 and 2 were bearing a rare ribofuranoside substituted at C-1 and the 5-methyltetrahydrofuran-2,3-diol moiety, respectively. Their structures were determined by detailed nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectroscopic (MS) analyses, while the absolute configurations were established by theoretical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculation. Compounds 1, 3, 13-17 and 19 showed broad ranges of antimicrobial spectrum against five indicator test microorganisms (Enterococcus faecalis, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans); especially, 1, 16 and 17 were most potent. The variations in structure and attendant biological activities provided fresh insights concerning structure-activity relationships for the naphthalene derivatives.

RESUMEN

Invasibility, or an ecosystem's susceptibility to invasion, plays a critical role in managing biological invasions but is challenging to quantify due to its dependence on specific ecosystem variables. This limitation restricts the practical application of this concept in the control of alien species. This study aims to simplify invasibility into measurable components and develop an applicable framework to predict early colonization of alien plants within the coastal mangrove ecosystem. We used the unchanneled path length (UPL), a widely applied hydrological connectivity-related indicator, to assess the accessibility of the mangrove. The enhanced vegetation index (EVI), positively correlated with above-ground biomass, was used to evaluate the potential competitive intensity. Firstly, building on existing studies, we developed a four-quadrant concept model integrating the effects of EVI and UPL on the early colonization of the alien species Sonneratia apetala. Our results revealed significant differences in EVI and UPL values between colonized and uncolonized areas, with colonized regions displaying markedly lower values (P < 0.001). Additionally, logistic regression showed a significant negative association between the probability of successful colonization by S. apetala and both indicators (P < 0.001). These results validate the effectiveness of our conceptual model. Furtherly, we identified four key niche opportunities for exotic species in mangrove: mudflats outside the mangrove forest, tidal creeks, canopy gaps, and unmanaged abandoned aquaculture ponds. Overall, this study provides important insight into the ecological processes of alien S. apetala colonization and practical information for management of coastal areas susceptible to invasion. Additionally, it presents a case study on the practical application of the concept of invasibility in the management of alien species.

RESUMEN

Rhizophora extracts have several potential biological activities, and their metabolites can be used in the pharmaceutical industry. Extracts of Rhizophora species obtained from mangroves have shown prospective activity against Staphylococcus aureus. This study aimed to investigate the chemical profile of Rhizophora mangle leaves from fringe, basin, and transition mangrove zones and their bactericidal/bacteriostatic potential against S. aureus. R. mangle leaves were collected monthly in 2018 from litterfall in three different zones of the mangrove of Guaratiba State Reserve: fringe, basin, and transition. Extracts were prepared from the material collected in October and December for LC-HRMS/MS analysis, and dereplication was performed using a molecular library search and the classical molecular networking GNPS platform. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the aqueous extract of R. mangle against S. aureus were determined. No S. aureus growth was observed compared to the control for extracts collected from September to December. Different compounds were annotated in each region, yet a marked presence of phenolic compounds was noted, among them glycosylated flavonoid derivatives of quercetin and kaempferol. The results suggest bactericidal/bacteriostatic activity for extracts of R. mangle leaves collected in 2018 from three mangrove forest zones.
