Localization of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) activity in the brain ganglia of Streptocephalus dichotomus was demonstrated by immunocytochemical method. For this, two different rabbit antisera, one raised against a crayfish Orconectus limosus, and the other with a crab Carcinus maenas, were used. Positive immunoreactivity was recorded with the antibody raised against Orconectus limosus CHH. However, the antibody raised against the CHH of the crab, Carcinus maenas failed to show any cross-reactivity. The biological specificity of these peptides was further confirmed by immunoblotting and immunodiffusion studies performed with the partially purified CHH. The results obtained with the immunodot-blotting and immunodiffusion studies with CHH, further confirmed the immunocytochemical studies. Bioassay experiments performed with a freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii indicate the interspecific biological activity of this neuropeptide. The present study indicates that besides the sinus gland, there are other sites of CHH synthesis and release in the brain ganglia of S. dichotomus. 相似文献

The microbial transformation of coumarin (1) and 6-methyl coumarin (2) using Colletotrichum capsici gave 2-(3'-hydroxypropyl) phenol (3) and 2-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-4-methyl phenol (4). The phytopathogenic fungi effectively reduced the 2H-pyran-2-one moiety of both parent coumarins to respective alcohols. 相似文献

The use of conventional and unconventional reaction methodology for the hydrolysis of the acetate group in zaluzanin D resulted in hydration of the 11,13 exocyclic bond along with deacetylation. But the microorganism E. coli selectively cleaved the acetate group to yield zaluzanin C. 相似文献

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is an effective molecular chaperone, playing a role in cell protection from damage in response to stress stimuli. Here, we report the impact of environmental stress on hepatocyte HSP70 expression in Mugil cephalus living in either a contaminated (Ennore) or uncontaminated (Kovalam) estuary over the course of two seasons. Oxidative and nitrative stress was determined along with quantification of HSP70 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after electroelution from polyacrylamide gels. Fish from Ennore showed significantly higher levels of oxidative and nitrative stress and HSP70 expression than fish from Kovalam. Also, there was significant seasonal variation in all oxidative, nitrative stress marker levels and HSP70 expression which peaked during summer. These results provide direct evidence that HSP70 overexpression in fish hepatocytes under stress may aid cell survival by protecting against oxidative and nitrative stress-induced changes. In addition, seasonal variation may have a significant impact on HSP70 expression. 相似文献

Ultrastructure of spermatozoa in fairy shrimp Streptocephalus dichotomus revealed that they are amoeboid type with no acrosome and flagella. Surface topography of the spermatozoon is smooth with occasional pseudopodial projections. Transmission electron micrographs of spermatozoa show organelle and the mitochondria which is not fused to form the so called ‘Nebenkern’. The testicular lumen reveals spermatozoa in varying sizes and shapes. 相似文献

The structure of the setae, setules, spines and spinules on the limbs of males and females of Streptocephalus torvicornis, S. rubricaudatus and S. proboscideus are described, based on scanning electron micrographs. The data disclose significant variation among the three species in fine structure of the setules and inter-setular distance. The variation may be related to different trophic specialisations, facilitating the sympatric occurrence of congeneric species. 相似文献

The effects of the anthelmintics praziquantel (PZQ), levamisole (LEV), mebendazole (MBZ), fenbendazole (FBZ) and albendazole (ABZ), on the morphology and the histology of a digenetic trematode, Cotylophoron cotylophorum, were studied. Scanning electron micrographs of the drug-treated worms revealed that PZQ was the most effective drug inducing surface damages to a great extent. The parasite exposed to PZQ for 6 h, showed smaller blebs on the oral sucker region as well as on the sensory papillae. These blebs enlarged in size after 24 h and ruptured after 30 h of exposure. The worms treated with LEV showed a few smaller blebs on the ventrolateral margin. In MBZ- and FBZ-treated worms the blebs appeared between the oral and genital sucker after 6 h of incubation. The changes were not apparent in the ABZ-treated worms. 相似文献

The brine shrimp, Artemia, an inhabitant of coastal and inland salterns, encounter fluctuations in the salinity which in turn influences the oxygen availability of their habitat. Hence, experiments were performed to analyze variations in haemoglobin structure and patterns of three strains of Artemia from South India and also to reflect the effect of varying oxygen levels in their habitat. Haemoglobins were purified on a DEAE-Sephadex column and haemoglobin types were analyzed by comparing their relative mobility on a non-denaturing medium. Furthermore, their molecular masses were determined by gel filtration in Sepharose column and by dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Results clearly reveal the presence of three distinct extracellular haemoglobins Hb I, Hb II and Hb III in Tuticorin strain while the other strains displayed only trails or the complete absence of Hb III and Hb II. Estimated molecular masses of these haemoglobins are 235,000-250,000 Da. Denaturation of the reduced and alkylated haemoglobins revealed apparently one polypeptide chain with a molecular mass of 124,000 Da. Upon denaturing gel electrophoresis of native haemoglobin Hb II, it was found that the 124,000 Da, polypeptide was cleaved specifically into two unequally-sized fragments of 50,400 and 79,800 Da. With regard to oxygen affinity, Hb III has a very high affinity for oxygen, an almost negligible Bohr effect and a good physiological adaptation to temperature changes. By combining the three haemoglobins in different proportions Artemia strains must be able to withstand diverging environmental conditions. In particular, the absence of Hb III in Puthalam and its occurrence as a faint band in Thamaraikulam could be correlated to the oxygen levels of their habitats. 相似文献
