ABSTRACT. Important progress has been made in recent years towards better understanding of the establishment and maintenance of endosymbiosis in protozoa and of the eventual integrative mechanisms involved. Still, many problems remain to be investigated more thoroughly. In this paper, while treating and reviewing the subject broadly, particular and more detailed attention is given to three selected systems: endonuclear symbiosis by Holospora bacteria in Paramecium; algal (Chlorella) relationships with the “green”Paramecium (P. bursaria) as host; and the rod-shaped bacteria found in the cytoplasm of Amoeba proteus. Data concerning the physiology of food vacuoles, membrane transport, photobehavior, recognition specificity, enzyme activity, and the like are presented and reviewed and discussed in light of the growing literature on the overall subject of “endocytobiology.” Emphasized is the complicated network of interactions between symbiotic partners and the importance of the development of integrative mechanisms in the evolution of the many intimate associations known at the cellular level today. 相似文献

Abstract. The anthropophilic malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto responds to CO2 and human skin emanations. How these odorants affect the behaviour of this mosquito species is studied in an olfactometer. Carbon dioxide is released either as an homogeneous plume or in a turbulent fashion at two different positions from the trap entrance. Anopheles gambiae is deterred from entering a trap with CO2 as the only kairomone, when presented as an homogeneous or turbulent plume. This effect is completely overcome by the addition of skin emanations to the CO2 plume, with a high proportion of mosquitoes found in the trap with skin emanations. Rearrangement of the position of the turbulent CO2 source so that it is 5 cm downwind of the trap entrance overcomes the deterrent effect of CO2 . Carbon dioxide alone, however, does not elicit higher proportions caught compared with clean air. Further studies with the CO2 source positioned 5 cm downwind of the trap entrance show that skin emanations alone result in fewer mosquitoes entering the trap than CO2 + skin emanations. Skin emanations induce more mosquitoes to fly into a trap than a synthetic blend of NH3 + l-lactic acid when both are combined with CO2 . It is concluded that CO2 is a poor kairomone when offered alone and that its presence in the plume at the trap entrance deters mosquitoes from entering. By contrast, when positioned just downwind of the trap entrance, CO2 appears to guide mosquitoes to the vicinity of the trap, where skin emanations then become the principle attractant, causing the mosquito trap entry response. The results of the study have implications for the design of odour-baited traps for this mosquito species. 相似文献

The impact of climate fluctuations during the Pleistocene on the geographic structure of genetic variation in plant populations is well documented, but there is a lack of studies of annual species at the European scale. The present study aimed to infer the history of the widespread European annual Rhinanthus angustifolius C. C. Gmelin (Orobanchaceae). We explored variation in chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) sequences and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) in twenty-nine populations covering the entire distribution area of the species. Five AFLP groups were identified, suggesting at least two glacial refugial areas: one area in southwestern Europe and one large eastern area in the Balkan/Caucasus. Recolonization of previously glaciated areas mainly took place from the east of Europe. Despite the difference in life-history traits, the patterns found for the annual R. angustifolius show similarities with those of perennial species in terms of genetic diversity and geographic organization of genetic variation. Although organelle markers have typically been preferred in phylogeographic studies, the cpDNA variation in R. angustifolius did not show any clear geographic structure. The absence of geographic structure in the cpDNA variation may reflect persistence of ancestral polymorphisms or hybridization and introgression with closely-related species. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2009, 98 , 1–13. 相似文献
