Effect of Berberine Hydrochloride Treatment on Transcriptomic Response in Gill Tissue of Charybdis japonica Infected With Aeromonas hydrophila

Berberine hydrochloride is the main active ingredient of Coptis chinensis, which has demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against bacteria. However, the molecular mechanism underlying its effects is unclear in crabs. In this study, we used transcriptome sequencing to investigate the molec...
