Two species ofDerbesia (Class Chlorophyceae),D. marina andD. tenuissima, have been studied for the purpose of obtaining a better understanding of their morphological details and life histories,
using preserved and living specimens as well as laboratory cultures. The life histories of both species were completed in
the laboratory, starting from both zoospores and zygotes. Specimens were collected at Asamushi, Aomori-ken, and Shimoda, Shizuoka-ken.
Their life history types are fundamentally identical, zoospores giving rise upon germination toa Halicystis-phase, while zygotes grow into aDerbesia-phase. The thallus of theHalicystis-phase which alternates withD. marina is the same as that ofH. ovalis which grows in the northern regions of Japan. On the other hand, the thallus of theHalicystis-phase alternating withD. tenuissima is the same as that ofH. parvula known to occur in the temperate to subtropical regions of Japan. These results coincide with those obtained withD. marina andD. tenuissima in Europe, where the type localities of both species are located. Specimens assignable to these two species were collected
at several localities in Japan and, as a result of detailed examination of the morphology, they are believed to be identical
with eitherD. marina orD. tenuissima. 相似文献

According to biochemical and physiological characters, 77 strains ofChlorella were assigned to 12 taxa. The characters used are presence or absence of hydrogenase, formation of secondary carotenoids under nitrogen-deficient conditions, liquefaction of gelatin, products of glucose fermentation, ability to reduce nitrate, thiamine requirement, acid tolerance, salt tolerance, thermophily, and base composition of DNA (GC content). On the other hand, certain nutritional characters, i. e., utilization of organic carbon and nitrogen compounds, were found to be more or less strain-specific, highly variable, and therefore unsuitable for taxonomy.Presented at the symposium Speciation and the Species Concept during the XIIth International Botanical Congress, Leningrad, July 8, 1975. 相似文献

Hymenomonas coronata andOchrosphaera verrucosa, both members of the coccolithophorids, Class Prymnesiophyceae, have been studied by means of electron microscopy and with
the aid of laboratory culture. Living specimens of these two species were collected in temperate and subtropical regions of
Japan, including the Kii Peninsula and the Ryukyu Islands, and unialgal cultures were established in the laboratory. Their
life histories are fundamentally identical, and consist of a non-motile vegetative stage that produces motile cells. The vegetative
stage is either unicellular, or a packet consisting of a few cells. Both the non-motile cells and the motile cells are covered
with two kinds of scales: these are thin scales of unmineralized nature and coccoliths. These two species differ from each
other in the shape of the coccoliths and in the presence or absence of visible rudimentary haptonema, and they have been in
separate families. The present study reveals that both species are fundamentally identical in the structure and the distribution
of major organelles, especially with respect to two opposed pyrenoids which bulge from chloroplasts, each being traversed
by two thylakoid bands, and a group of microtubules forming a flagellar root. On the basis of these characteristics, it would
appear more logical to place these two species in the same family, namely the Hymenomonadaceae. 相似文献

Morphological variations of Gloeotaenium loitlesbergarianum Hansgirg were studied both in cultures and in nature. In cultures, the alga exhibits considerable variation in the number of cells per colony, ranging from unicells to colonies with more than four cells. The characteristic band was also absent in cultures. In nature, colonies resembling the culture material of Gloeotaenium also occur. The morphology of the alga varies depending on the nature and composition of the nutrients available. The study shows that Gloeotaenium may exhibit polymorphism in nature as well. 相似文献

Summary The life cycle ofAcetabularia is described with special reference to nuclear divisions. Recent arguments, derived from the fields of cytology, genetics and systematics are in favour of the hypothesis, that meiosis occurs during the division of the primary nucleus. This hypothesis is summarized in a schematical representation of the whole life cycle. 相似文献

The morphology of an unarmored chain-forming harmful dinoflagellate Cochlodinium polykrikoides and its similar species such as Cochlodinium catenatum, Cochlodinium fulvescens, and Cochlodinium convolutum was carefully observed, emphasizing the single cell stage for clarifying taxonomically important morphological features. To differentiate C. polykrikoides from C. convolutum, the shape and the position of the nucleus are useful characters. C. polykrikoides also differs from C. fulvescens in being smaller in size, possessing many rod-shaped chloroplasts and having the sulcus running just below the cingulum on the dorsal surface. Careful observation of the ichnotype of C. catenatum suggests that C. catenatum sensu Kofoid and Swezy collected from off La Jolla, CA, USA, is not identical to C. catenatum sensu Okamura and is probably a different species, in having no chloroplasts and a nucleus positioned at the center of the cell. In addition, C. polykrikoides has many morphological features in common with C. catenatum sensu Okamura except for slightly elongate cells and is probably a junior synonym of this species. 相似文献

Scenedesmus obliquus, strain 633, which synthesizes ketocarotenoids and sporopollenin, also forms pink-red-colored cell walls. Both the cell walls left over after autospore liberation and those from homogenates of disrupted green cells have similar carotenoid pigmentation. Canthaxanthin, astaxanthin, an unidentified ketocarotenoid, and lutein were found as integral cell wall components. They are bound to the outer (trilaminar) layer of the complete cell wall which also contains sporopollenin.Abbreviations CWH

The ultrastructure of the type species of the genusDunaliella, D. salina, has been reinvestigated in an attempt to clarify the relationships betweenDunaliella andSpermatozopsis. Dunaliella salina differs in the following ultrastructural characters fromSpermatozopsis (as exemplified byS. similis
Preisig etMelkonian): presence of a distinctive surface coat covering the plasmalemma; presence of a prominent pyrenoid (with pairs of thylakoids partially entering the pyrenoid matrix); dictyosomes parabasal; endoplasmic reticulum closely underlying the plasmalemma around most of the cell; contractile vacuoles absent; cell form ovoid to elongated and not spirally twisted; mitochondrial profiles near the flagellar apparatus. Differences in the ultrastructure of the flagellar apparatus: basal body angle more or less fixed; distal connecting fibre cross-striated; system II fibre (rhizoplast) present, associated with mitochondrial profile; system I fibre underlying two-stranded microtubular root; mating structure present. These ultrastructural differences justify distinction between the two taxa at generic level. The problematical status of freshwater species ofDunaliella is briefly discussed. 相似文献

Two new species of the sectionMarginatae are described, namely,Inocybe populea sp. nov. andI. leptoclada sp. nov., from western Japan and eastern Japan, respectively.Inocybe leptoclada is assigned to sectionMarginatae, even though it lacks a marginate bulb.Inocybe populea is placed in the sectionMarginatae because of the presence of a marginate (often indistinct) bulbous base of stipe and the caulocystidia throughout. The discoveries
ofI. leptoclada andI. populea provide further evidence that sectionMarginatae and sectionInocybe [=Cortinatae] are poorly defined. 相似文献

A new species of the genusLaboulbenia, L. diplocheilae, has been established for specimens on the host genusDiplocheila (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Licinini).Laboulbenia diplocheilae is easily distinguished fromL. proliferans var.divaricata onChlaenius by the absence of a black constriction on the outermost branch of the outer appendage and by the simple stalks subtending
grouped antheridia borne on appendage branches in the middle of the appendage system. 相似文献

Algae are important food resources of the larvae of the African malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae Giles and Anopheles arabiensis Patton (Anopheles gambiae sensu lato), and other zooplankton, but empirical evidence remains meager about the agal flora in ephemeral water bodies.
The animals present in natural aquatic habitats in western Kenya were sampled from July to November 2002 to study abiotic
and biotic environmental factors determining A. gambiae sl larval abundance. The five highest concentrations of third and fourth instars and pupae (hereafter referred to as old-stage
larvae) were sampled in conjunction with the unicellular epizoic green algae, Rhopalosolen species (Chlorophyta; Chlorophyceae). Canonical correspondence analysis revealed that the presence of Rhopalosolen species was the most important determinant of the animal assemblage. The density of old-stage A. gambiae sl larvae was positively correlated with the presence of Rhopalosolen species, but the density of first and second instars of A. gambiae sl was not. The water bodies with Rhopalosolen sp. yielded larger mosquitoes in spite of the higher density of larvae. We demonstrated that the productivity of water bodies
in terms of the larvae of malaria vectors can differ in magnitude depending on the agal flora. We discuss phytoplankton as
a regulator of mosquito larval populations. 相似文献

The behavior of nuclei during zoosporogenesis in Bryopsis plumosa (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) was examined by fluorescence and electron microscopy. Each mature filamentous sporophyte had a single lenticular nucleus, which was about 25 m in diameter and embedded in a thick cytoplasmic layer. At the commencement of multinucleation, giant nuclei with large vacuolated nucleoli, giant nuclei containing chromosomes, and dumbbell-shaped nuclei were observed. Sometimes, two small nuclei also appeared in the thick cytoplasm where the giant nucleus had presumably been present. Electron microscopy revealed the existence of ribbon-like structures resembling synaptonemal complexes within the nucleus having a large vacuolated nucleolus. Nuclei extended their distribution by repetitive divisions. A pair of centrioles was adjacent to the interphase nucleus. When the nuclei were distributed throughout the cell, they became localized nearly equidistantly from one another, each being surrounded by several chloroplasts. At this stage, many centrioles lay along the nuclear surface. The bulk of cytoplasm was then divided into many masses of protoplasm, each of which developed into a uninucleate, stephanokontic zoospore with a whorl of flagella. 相似文献

Summary We studied the reproductive ecology of a population of Sceloporus undulatus erythrocheilus near Walsenburg, CO during the summers of 1987–1990. Reproductive activity commences soon after emergence in early May and continues until the middle of July. Females mature in their second year following hatching at an age of 20–21 months and a size of 60–63 mm snout-vent length (SVL). Two clutches, averaging10.9 eggs, are produced per year. Larger females produce larger clutches with an increase of one egg per 3 mm SVL. Average SVL of females was 71 mm. Eggs are reasonably large (0.32 g) and relative clutch mass was the largest reported for the species (34% of body mass). A principal component analysis was used to examine relationships among reproductive characters in 12 populations of Sceloporus undulatus. The analysis suggested that patterns of reproduction in this wide-ranging species result from several factors reflecting both adaptive and phylogenetic sources of variation. 相似文献

Changes in the content of cyclic heptapeptide hepatotoxins called microcystins were investigated during batch culture of two
Microcystis species using high performance liquid chromatography. After adsorption to ODS-silica gel cartridges and elution with methanol,
the toxins were analyzed and quantified by HPLC. 35 μg per 100 mg dry cells of microcystin-RR, 34 μg of -YR and 43 μg of -LR
were present at the beginning of the exponential growth phase of M. viridis. Microcystin-RR increased markedly towards the end of the exponential phase with the maximum content of 112 μg per 100 mg
cells was measured at the late stage of the exponential phase. A remarkable increase of microcystin-YR from 130 μg per 100
mg cells to 1020 μg was observed during the exponential phase of a highly toxic strain of M. aeruginosa. However no clear differences were found in the pattern of change among the three toxins during the growth course. 相似文献

Three species of Tetraploa collected from Sasa, or bamboos, are described and illustrated. Among them, T. curviappendiculata on Sasa kurilensis and T. longissima on Pleioblastus chino are compared with hitherto known species and described as new species. In the nomenclature, T. javanica is substituted for T. biformis, formerly reported from the dead bark of a broad-leaved tree in Japan, as a correct name. 相似文献

The electrophoretic patterns of 15 protein systems codified for 20 genetic loci were investigated using horizontal electrophoresis.
A total of 150 blood samples, from five species of the genusCallithrix were analyzed. Polymorphic variation was observed in 10 out 20 loci analyzed. The genotypic distributions are in Hardy-Weinberg
equilibrium. The average heterozygosity (H) varied from 1% to 5%, similar to those observed for other Neotropical primates.
The genetic distance coefficients revealed a phylogenetic separation of these species into two groups: (1) “argentata” (C. humeralifer andC. emiliae); (2) “jacchus” (C. jacchus, C. penicillata, andC. geoffroyi). This arrangement is according to the taxonomic arrangement proposed byHershkovitz (1977),de Vivo (1988), andMittermeier et al. (1988). The results in each group are compatible with the subspecies values recorded for the Platyrrhini. These values
showed that:C. humeralifer andC. emiliae are subspecies ofC. argentata;C. jacchus, C. penicillata, andC. geoffroyi are subspecies ofC. jacchus. These results also suggest thatC. j. geoffroyi is the “jacchus” group taxon, most similar genetically to the “argentata” group. 相似文献

The palp morphology of Prionospio fallax Söderström, 1920 from Sweden and Prionospio cf. saldanha Day, 1961 from Thailand was examined with a scanning electron microscope. Prionospio fallax was also studied in vivo using light-microscopy. Both species have grooved feeding palps, adorned with up to five ciliary characters: frontal cilia, transverse ciliary bands (or bandlets), latero-frontal cirri, lateral cilia and randomly distributed non-motile cirri. All, except the frontal cilia and non-motile cirri, are asymmetrically arranged relative to the long axis of the palps. Prionospio fallax possesses transverse bandlets and the other four groups, while P. cf. saldanha has transverse bands (consisting of several contiguous bandlets), frontal cilia and some randomly scattered cirri. Asymmetrical palp ciliation was previously only known in Marenzelleria viridis (Verril, 1873) and the genus Scolelepis Blainville, 1828. The newly recognised transverse ciliary bands and bandlets are considered to be homologous with the transverse ciliary rows found basally on the palps of Paraprionospio pinnata (Ehlers, 1901). This multistate character (named transverse cilia) may prove useful in elucidating the phylogeny of the Prionospio-complex of genera. 相似文献
