Postnatal development of six species of sessile rotifers in the families Flosculariidae (Floscularia decora, Lacinularia flosculosa, Limnias ceratophylli, Ptygura crystallina) and Collothecidae (Collotheca ornata, Stephanoceros fimbriatus) was investigated by observing free-swimming and newly settled larvae until they metamorphosed into adults. Three variants of metamorphosis were observed. A hypothetical explanation of changes of the coronal construction of orders Gnesiotrocha and Pseudotrocha is considered. 相似文献

Clearance rates of sessile rotifers: in vitro determinations 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
We measured laboratory clearance rates of 10 rotifer and one unidentified bryozoan species from 3 different lakes using 32P labeled algae (Chlamydomonas) or yeast (Rhodotorula). Clearance rates for all rotifers fed yeast ranged from < 2.0 to > 260 µl · animal–1 · h–1 depending on species. The in vitro clearance rates of two sessile rotifers (Ptygura crystallina and P. pilula) were not significantly different from previously measured in situ rates (Wallace and Starkweather 1983). Clearance rates for 5 rotifers fed algae ranged from < 5.0 to > 90.0 µl · animal–1 · h–1. Ptygura beauchampi, P. crystallina, P. pilula, Floscularia conifera, and F. melicerta ingested both cell types but their clearance rates varied substantially among species and between cell types. There was a substantial time-dependent loss of 32P from formalin-fixed animals (Sinantherina socialis) awaiting processing. This loss stabilized at approximately 20 hours and was estimated to be about 40% of the initial ingested label. Clearance rates for the bryozoan fed yeast or algae were highly variable, ranging from < 1.0 to > 3 000 µl · animal–1 · h–1. 相似文献

Substrate discrimination by larvae of the sessile rotifer Ptygura beauchampi Edmondson 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
ROBERT LEE WALLACE 《Freshwater Biology》1977,7(4):301-309
SUMMARY. In an acid bog pond, the sessile rotifer Ptygura beauchampi was limited to the trap door areas of one of three distinct prey capturing organs of the carnivorous hydrophyte Utricularia vulgaris ; four other co-occurring congeneric species ( U. gibba, inflata var. minor, intermedia , and purpurea ) were not colonized. This pattern was not the result of differential capture of larvae by the prey traps. Laboratory settling experiments demonstrated that P. beauchampi larvae select this particular substrate to the exclusion of all others. This selectivity was independent of the presence of captured prey organisms in the traps.
P. beauchampi larvae select younger vestibules (trap door areas) over older ones. Observations of natural populations showed denser colonization of those slightly bigger traps closer to the plant stem. However, no relation was found between vestibular area and adult rotifer density. Selectivity for traps more proximal to the plant system was not demonstrated. In natural populations a distinct distribution of adults within the vestibule was noted. This pattern was statistically different from sites which the larvae colonize in laboratory experiments. Adult distribution is probably a modification of the larval settling pattern by site-dependent survivorship of adults.
Larval settling experiments showed that larvae select uncolonized vestibules over those previously colonized of approximately equal age. Settling outside the vestibule area was highest on traps closest to the plant stem and was related to the density of adults colonizing the vestibule.
The adaptive significance of larval selection of a particular substrate is discussed. 相似文献

To better understand the sessile rotifer community of a shallow, eutrophic lake, we monitored over a 1‐year period the monthly changes in the density and diversity of rotifers on the roots of the common water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, which served as a representative hydrophyte. Selected physical and chemical parameters of the water were also determined. Mean annual density of all sessile species was 630 individuals per ml. Species of Collothecacea (n = 7) were most abundant. Of the 12 species of Flosculariaceae (Flosculariidae), Sinantherina socialis occurred seasonally, while Ptygura beauchampi was most common across all seasons. The Shannon–Wiener diversity index was highest (H′ = 2.8) in April, but decreased in January (H′ = 1.3). Applying the concept of the guild ratio (functional‐based analysis) we found that raptorial species (Collothecacea) were dominant over most of the year (June–February), while microphagous Flosculariidae were dominant during the warm, drier season (March–May). BEST (optimal matching of biota to environment, including stepwise search) analysis and canonical correspondence revealed that temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, and transparency strongly influenced sessile rotifer dynamics. We also found significant correlations between the density of some species and physicochemical variables. These species included Collotheca ambigua, C. coronetta, C. ornata, C. campanulata, C. tenuilobata, and Stephanoceros millsii in the Collothecacea; and Beauchampia crucigere, Limnias melicerta, L. ceratophylli, Ptygura crystallina, P. melicerta, and Sinantherina ariprepes in the Flosculariidae. Our study shows that the communities of sessile rotifers were structured by abiotic factors and that the guild ratio is useful for understanding the relationship between sessile rotifers and their substrata. 相似文献

Coloniality in the phylum Rotifera 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Robert Lee Wallace 《Hydrobiologia》1987,147(1):141-155
Coloniality in the phylum Rotifera is defined and reviewed. Only two families of rotifers contain truly colonial forms: Flosculariidae and Conochilidae (order Gnesiotrocha, suborder Flosculariacea). Most species form intraspecific colonies ranging in size from a few to about 200 individuals, but species that produce enormous colonies (> 1000 individuals) are also known. All seven genera of the Flosculariidae contain species that form colonies to widely varying degrees (Beauchampia, Floscularia, Lacinularia, Limnias, Octotrocha, Ptygura, Sinantherina). All four species of the monogenetic Conochilidae (Conochilus) are colonial, but two species form colonies of only an adult and a few young. At least one other family (Philodinidae; Bdelloida) contains a species that exhibits a form of coloniality (Philodina megalotrocha). Two hypotheses that attempt to explain the adaptive significance of coloniality (Energetic Advantage and Predatory Avoidance) are reviewed and new information concerning the former is presented. Evolution of coloniality is discussed briefly. 相似文献

Clearance rates of three sessile and four free-swimming rotifer species from a small acid bog-pond were measured using in situ techniques. Three radioactively labeled cell types, an alga (Chlamydomonas), a bacterium (Enterobacter = Aerobacter), and a yeast (Rhodotorula) were used as tracers. Clearance rates (using yeast) ranged from <1.0 to >250 µl · animal?1 · h?1 depending on species. Ptygura crystallina, Ptygura pilula, Floscularia conifera, and an unidentified bdelloid ingested all three foods with substantial variation in clearance rates among species and cell type. There was an insignificant error (<0.3%) in clearance rate associated with non-ingestive uptake of radioactivity. Among the free-swimming taxa, Lecane sp. had a clearance rate of <0.5 µl · animal?1 · h?1 on yeast, while another Lecane sp. and Trichotria tetractis did not ingest that cell type. 相似文献

Previous studies on the fourth inversion of the t complex, In17(4), suggest that loci near the center of this inversion have been subjected to segmental recombination during the past 1–2 million
years. We have used a combination of PCR-based restriction site (PBR) analysis and DNA sequencing to perform a high-resolution
analysis of a 2-million base pair (Mbp) segment in the middle of In17(4). We examined 21 restriction sites that are polymorphic between t haplotypes and their wild-type homologs, over nine distinct loci. In addition, we examined several other polymorphic sites
through DNA sequence analysis of two of these nine loci. We analyzed several haplotypes in this way, including the “complete”
t haplotypes t
w2
, t
0
, t
w32
, t
w71
, and t
w75
. We show that only t
w32
is a true “complete” t haplotype; the remaining four t haplotypes have segments of wild-type DNA ranging from less than 100 bp to 2 Mbp. The sizes of these wild-type DNA segments
are consistent with their being generated by gene-conversion events. The 2-Mbp segment is located in a region that may contain
the t-complex distorter gene Tcd2. One of the nine loci examined in this study is Fgd2, a gene that has been proposed to encode Tcd2. Sequencing and PBR data show that at least a portion of the Fgd2 gene has been converted to the wild-type within t

The acetylcholinesterase inhibition by enantiomers of exo‐ and endo‐2‐norbornyl‐N‐n‐butylcarbamates shows high stereoselelectivity. For the acetylcholinesterase inhibitions by (R)‐(+)‐ and (S)‐(?)‐exo‐2‐norbornyl‐N‐n‐butylcarbamates, the R‐enantiomer is more potent than the S‐enantiomer. But, for the acetylcholinesterase inhibitions by (R)‐(+)‐ and (S)‐(?)‐endo‐2‐norbornyl‐N‐n‐butylcarbamates, the S‐enantiomer is more potent than the R‐enantiomer. Optically pure (R)‐(+)‐exo‐, (S)‐(?)‐exo‐, (R)‐(+)‐endo‐, and (S)‐(?)‐endo‐2‐norbornyl‐N‐n‐butylcarbamates are synthesized from condensations of optically pure (R)‐(+)‐exo‐, (S)‐(?)‐exo‐, (R)‐(+)‐endo‐, and (S)‐(?)‐endo‐2‐norborneols with n‐butyl isocyanate, respectively. Optically pure norborneols are obtained from kinetic resolutions of their racemic esters by lipase catalysis in organic solvent. Chirality 2010. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Columba livia is an important reservoir and carrier of Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus uniguttulatus, Cryptococcus laurentii and Cryptococcus albidus. Upper digestive tract of this species is also known as a habitat for Cryptococcus neoformans. Given the increasing clinical interest of this microorganism, 331 swabs from crop and 174 dropping samples from pigeon lofts
in Grand Canary Island have been studied. The obtained results show an extensive presence samples 81 positive (24.47%) of
Cryptococcus spp. in analysed crops: 32 (9.66%) for C. neoformans, 24 (7.2%) for C. uniguttulatus, 23 (6.9%) for C. albidus and 2 (0.6%) for C. laurentii. In the same way, Cryptococcus spp was also isolated in 82 (47.13%), dropping samples: C. neoformans in 59 (33.9%), C. uniguttulatus, in 9 (5.17%), C. laurentii in 8 (4.59%) and C. albidus in 6 (3.44%) of the investigated samples, respectively. The cryptococcosis produced by species of cryptococci other than C. neoformans has become more important during the last decade, supporting the study on the role of pigeon in the epidemiology of this
disease. 相似文献

Survey of seven strains determined as Septonema ochraceum (Dothideomycetes, inc. sed.) isolated from pine litter or obtained from public collections revealed three new species, Fusicladium cordae, F. sicilianum (Venturiaceae), Cladophialophora matsushimae (Herpotrichiellaceae) and a cryptic species morphologically identical to Devriesia americana (Teratosphaeriaceae), but phylogenetically distinct. Morphological survey and phylogenetic analysis using nucleotide sequence data from the nuclear
ribosomal subunit genes indicate a close relationship within three species colonising pine litter needles, F. cordae, F. pini and F. ramoconidii. F. sicilianum is most related to F. rhodense. C. matsushimae represents a species belonging to one of the lineages of the polyphyletic genus Cladophialophora. None of the strains observed can be classified morphologically as S. ochraceum, of which the type material does not exist. 相似文献

The present study was designed to expand genetic knowledge of myo
-inositol (MI) metabolism in Lactobacillus casei. Twenty-four L. casei isolates of dairy origin were tested for the presence of iol cluster. PCR screening revealed eight strains encoded functions involved in MI utilization, of which one strain was able
to use MI as carbon source. To gain a deeper understanding of the function of iol genes, four of the eight observed iol clusters were subjected to the full sequencing procedure. The results showed that the iol cluster was not a common feature among dairy L. casei strains. In addition, the four iol clusters were highly similar to one another in terms of sequence similarity and operon architecture. However, abundant polymorphisms
that comprised a majority of synonymous mutations were detected throughout the full sequences. Three of them distributed among
iolB, iolC, and iolT genes were found in linkage to MI-negative phenotype. Compared with other bacterial iol clusters, the iol cluster of L. casei showed a high similarity with that of Bacillus subtilis. 相似文献

The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the world’s most important vegetable crops. Still, phytopathogenic bacteria affect the yield and quality of tomato cultivation, like Agrobacterium tumefeciens (At), Clavibacter
michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm), Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato (Pst), Ralstonia solanacearum (Rs),
and Xanthomonas axonopodis (Xa). Synthetic chemical products are used mostly on disease plant control, but
overuse generates resistance to bacterial control. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity
of the ethanolic extract of Moringa oleifera Lam. leaves against At, Cmm, Pst, Rs, and Xa, as well as information
about this plant species’ chemical composition. Antibacterial activity against pathogens observed by microplate
technique, phytochemical screening, and FTIR analysis revealed different bio-active compounds on ethanolic
extracts with antibacterial activity. The growth inhibition rate ranged between 0.08% and 99.94%. The inhibitory
concentration, IC50, required to inhibit 50% of At, Cmm, Pst, Rs, and Xa bacterial growth, was 276.67, 350.48,
277.85, 351.49, and 283.22 mg/L, respectively. Inhibition of phytopathogen bacteria’s growth increased as the concentrations of the extract also increased. Moringa oleifera extract can be recommended as a potent bio-bactericide. 相似文献

Genes of CLE (CLAVATA3/ESR-related) family encode peptide ligands that regulate plant development in response to external stimuli such as rhizobial
infection and the nitrate application as well as various internal stimuli. To investigate whether LjCLE gene(s) may involve in plant response to inorganic phosphate (Pi), we analyzed Pi responses of 39 LjCLE genes in hydroponically grown Lotus japonicus plants (ecotype Miyakojima ‘MG-20’). Two LjCLE genes, LjCLE19 and 20, were up-regulated specifically and greatly in roots of L. japonicus by Pi addition to the hydroponic solution. When the external Pi level increased, expressions of LjCLE19 and 20 increased before the increase in the Pi content in plants. On the other hand, when the external Pi level decreased, the Pi
content in plants decreased first, then expression levels of LjCLE19 and 20 decreased. Based on our results, we discuss the relationship between LjCLE19 and 20 and the tissue Pi levels in plants. This is the first report showing induction of specific CLE genes by phosphate. 相似文献

ITS sequences determined for 53 Erysiphe specimens on Syringa and Ligustrum collected in Europe, East Asia, and North and South America were divided into two ITS groups, S and K types. Phylogenetic
analysis showed that these two ITS types do not share a common ancestor and form separate clades. The K type on Ligustrum was identified as Erysiphe ligustri based on the three-dimensional branching pattern of appendages. Morphological observations showed that there are some morphological
differences—pigmentation of appendages and number of ascospores per ascus—between the S and K types on Syringa. Based on these morphological observations, the S and K types on Syringa were identified as E. syringae and E. syringae-japonicae, respectively. The recent abundant production of chasmothecia by lilac powdery mildew in Europe was caused by E. syringae-japonicae introduced from East Asia. DNA sequence analyses of the rDNA ITS region and the 28S rDNA, tub2, CYP51, and Chs1 genes did not support an interspecific hybrid origin for E. syringae-japonicae. Haplotype analysis suggested that E. syringae originated in North America and independently migrated to East Asia and Europe/South America. 相似文献

Small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) act as molecular chaperones and are widely distributed in all kinds of organisms. Comparative analysis revealed that an orthologous shsp was present during insect evolution. Here, hsp21.8b, one insect orthologous shsp, had been identified in Tribolium castaneum. Quantitative real‐time PCR illustrated that Tchsp21.8b was expressed in all developmental stages, along with the lowest expression at early embryonic stage and relative high expression at other stages especially in late eggs and late pupae. In the adult period, Tchsp21.8b exhibited the highest expression level in central nervous system and followed in elytron, epidermis, ovary and fat body. Moreover, it was upregulated 3.39‐fold in response to enhanced heat stress (45°C) for 4 hr but not to cold stress (4°C) and was upregulated by 1.73‐ to 1.94‐fold under ultraviolet (UV) exposure during 4–6 hr. It was also downregulated by 20.8%–41.8% under starvation in 3 days and had a “down‐up‐down” trend under the pathogen stresses. Larval RNA interference of Tchsp21.8b caused 40.6% insects mortality and reduced the oviposition amount by 66.0% and only 21.0% of the ds‐Tchsp21.8b eggs could hatch into larvae. These results suggested that as an orthologous shsp, Tchsp21.8b not only plays important roles in the growth, development and fecundity of T. castaneum but with the competence to resist the environment stresses, although the response is relatively weak compared to other hsps. Results from this study also uncovered the functions of the orthologous shsp in the development and anti‐stresses ability of T. castanuem. It provided more scientific evidence for revealing the physiological mechanisms of shsps of the insects and enhanced the capabilities to control different pests. 相似文献

5α‐Androst‐16‐en‐3α‐ol (α‐androstenol) is an important contributor to human axilla sweat odor. It is assumed that α‐andostenol is excreted from the apocrine glands via a H2O‐soluble conjugate, and this precursor was formally characterized in this study for the first time in human sweat. The possible H2O‐soluble precursors, sulfate and glucuronide derivatives, were synthesized as analytical standards, i.e., α‐androstenol, β‐androstenol sulfates, 5α‐androsta‐5,16‐dien‐3β‐ol (β‐androstadienol) sulfate, α‐androstenol β‐glucuronide, α‐androstenol α‐glucuronide, β‐androstadienol β‐glucuronide, and α‐androstenol β‐glucuronide furanose. The occurrence of α‐androstenol β‐glucuronide was established by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)/MS (heated electrospray ionization (HESI)) in negative‐ion mode in pooled human sweat, containing eccrine and apocrine secretions and collected from 25 female and 24 male underarms. Its concentration was of 79 ng/ml in female secretions and 241 ng/ml in male secretions. The release of α‐androstenol was observed after incubation of the sterile human sweat or α‐androstenol β‐glucuronide with a commercial glucuronidase enzyme, the urine‐isolated bacteria Streptococcus agalactiae, and the skin bacteria Staphylococcus warneri DSM 20316, Staphylococcus haemolyticus DSM 20263, and Propionibacterium acnes ATCC 6919, reported to have β‐glucuronidase activities. We demonstrated that if α‐ and β‐androstenols and androstadienol sulfates were present in human sweat, their concentrations would be too low to be considered as potential precursors of malodors; therefore, the H2O‐soluble precursor of α‐androstenol in apocrine secretion should be a β‐glucuronide. 相似文献

Bacillus cereus C1L was demonstrated to induce systemic resistance in Lilium formosanum against leaf blight caused by Botrytis elliptica. Suppression subtractive hybridization library of L. formosanum triggered by B. cereus C1L were screened and 3 differentially expressed genes were identified. Based on sequence analysis, these genes encoding
putative glycine-rich protein, metallothionein-like protein, and PsbR protein of photosystem 2, were designated LfGRP1, LfMT1, and LfPsbR, respectively. The results of Northern blot analysis showed that expressions of LfGRP1, LfMT1 and LfPsbR increased in response to B. elliptica infection. On the other hand, expression of LfMT1 increased but expressions of LfGRP1 and LfPsbR decreased when the rhizosphere of L. formosanum was drenched with suspension of B. cereus C1L with or without subsequent challenge with B. elliptica on lily leaves. Similar expression profiles of homologues of LfGRP1, LfMT1, and LfPsbR (named LsGRP1, LsMT1, and LsPsbR, respectively) were presented in Lilium oriental hybrid Star Gazer. In addition, application of the photosynthetic inhibitor, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea,
on the leaves reduced disease severity and expressions of LsGRP1 and LsPsbR just as that in response to B. cereus C1L treatment. 相似文献
