Abstract
Scuticociliate are one of the main parasite affecting the flounder aquaculture industry, causing significant economic losses in Korea. Aquatic formalin has been approved to treat against external parasitic infestation in flounder aquaculture pond. To investigate metabolic effect after treating the parasitic agent aquatic formalin in scuticociliate Miamiensis avidus, the transcriptome analysis was conducted. Through exposing with low concentration(10~50 ppm) of formalin for 96 hr, parasite trancriptomes were sequenced cDNA libraries in the GX Plex sequencer. A total of million read for control and formalin treated group were assembled in 187,210 and 177,959 contigs, respectively. After normalization and assembling with house keeping gene(β-actin), transcripts were assigned to biological processes and functions after annotation in Gene Ontology(GO). Specifically, 10 exclusive transcripts were up- or down-regulated for control and formalin treated group, respectively. Our results provide valuable genetic information for further analysis of the biological responses mechanism of aquatic formalin exposure in M. avidus.
