SYNOPSIS. A sequence of developmental stages of Plistophora hyphessobryconis Schaperclaus, a microsporidian protozoan parasite of the muscular tissue of several species of freshwater fishes, was studied with the electron microscope. The youngest stages observed, ca. 4 × 2 μ, have a single nucleus and their plasm contains only ergastoplasmic lamellae and ribosomes. They are surrounded by a halo of lysed host tissue. They increase in volume to become large sporonts with a great number of nuclei and a thick, 2-layered membrane. Thru schizogony, a corresponding number of sporoblasts is produced within this pansporoblast membrane. Sporoblasts start to develop a thick spore membrane, and a number of smooth-membraned vesicles appear in the plasm. These vesicles fuse to make the outer membrane of the filament. Later, its inner structures originate—the axial electron-dense substance, filling the hollow lumen of the filament, and a middle, electron-transparent layer. The structure of the filament is discussed in relation to its function and with regard to the findings of other authors. The polaroplast is a laminated structure, originating possibly by transformation of endoplasmic reticulum; the polar cap forms its apical part. The cap is also lamellar; its substance reaches into the lumen of the filament for a certain distance. No micropyle was discovered in the shell; the filament is fastened to the polar cap. These observations on microsporidian development and on the structure of their spores are compared with similar data on myxosporidian species. Such a comparison speaks clearly in favor of the complete taxonomic separation of the Microsporidea from the Myxosporidea, the latter being quite different also from other sporozoa sensu lato. 相似文献

During the spring of 1981, trichodinid protozoa were collected from the gills or urinary bladder of the following species of fishes of Rybinsk Reservoir, USSR, located on the upper reaches of the Volga River system: Esox lucius, Rutilus rutilus, Leuciscus idus, Blicca bjoerkna, Abramis ballerus, Pelecus cultratus, Lota lota, and Perca fluviatilis. A total of 13 species of Trichodinidae was recovered from Rybinsk fishes, among which are three new species of the genus Trichodina: T. izyumovae n. sp. from the gills of L. idus, T. borokensis n. sp. from the gills of P. cultratus, and T. kupermani n. sp. from the gills of A. ballerus. Other species of trichodinids reported are T. modesta Lom, 1980; T. nigra Lom, 1969; T. pediculus (O. F. Müller, 1786); T. prowazeki Grupcheva & Lom, 1980; T. rostrata Kulemina, 1968; T. urinaria Dogiel, 1940; T. ophiocephalus Kostenko & Karaev, 1976; Paratrichodina incisa (Lom, 1959); Trichodinella epizootica (Raabe, 1950); and Tripartiella copiosa Lom, 1959. Photomicrographs and morphometric data are presented for each species and aspects of their host and geographic distribution discussed. Trichodina algonquinensis Li & Desser, 1983 is considered a synonym of T. urinaria Dogiel, 1940. 相似文献

By the help of this method the morphological -variability ofScenedesmus quadricauda during its ontogenesis was studied.During the life cycle the size and shape of the cells vary simultaneously.Some species described on the bases of these features are onlydifferent states of the same species. Genera of the subfamily Crucigenioideae (Scened-esmaceae) havebeen distinguished by very subjective and indistinct features.Examination of the course of their life cycles in the synchronizedcultures showed that only valuable feature for distinguishingthese genera is the mode of reproduction; the mode of orientationof autocoenobia in the mother coenobium. Two basic modes offormation of daughter coenobia were discovered. Based on thesecriteria it is possible to deduce all other types of this wholetaxonomical group. (Received November 24, 1962; ) 相似文献

We monitored the radioligand-binding characteristics of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) receptors, functional activity of Gq/11α proteins, and functional status of the whole signaling cascade in HEK293 expressing high levels of TRH receptors and G11α. Our analyses indicated that disruption of plasma membrane microdomains by cholesterol depletion did not markedly influence the binding parameters of TRH receptors, but it altered efficacy of signal transduction. The functional coupling between TRH receptor and Gq/11α was assessed by agonist-stimulated [35S]GTPγS binding, and results of these measurements pointed out to significantly lower potency of TRH to mediate G protein activation in the plasma membrane fraction isolated from cholesterol-depleted cells; there was a shift in sensitivity by one order of magnitude to the higher concentrations. A markedly lower sensitivity to stimulation with TRH was also observed in our experiments dealing with determination of hormone-induced Ca2+ response. These data suggest that the intact structure of plasma membranes is an important optimum signal transduction initiated by TRH receptors and mediated by Gq/11α proteins. 相似文献

The eresid spider genus Eresus is morphologically and ecologically conservative. At least three species occur in Europe. However, deep genetic divergence among geographical samples within two species, E. cinnaberinus and E. sandaliatus , may suggest more cryptic species. In the present study we investigate the genetic cohesion of the third species, Eresus walckenaeri , throughout its eastern Mediterranean distribution range, relative to the E. cinnaberinus–E. sandaliatus species complex. Eresus walckenaeri specimens were monophyletic. Genetic discreteness of E. walckenaeri in a region of sympatry with its sister species in Greece provides evidence for species integrity of E. walckenaeri within the European Eresus species complex. Eresus walckenaeri exhibited high concordance between geographical location and mtDNA genealogy. Two major phylogeographical clades were found in the Greek–Turkish and Syrian–Israel parts of the investigated area, respectively (∼6.5% sequence divergence). Concordance between geography and genetic divergence was further observed between Aegean island samples and their corresponding Greek and Turkish mainland samples, suggesting regional subdivision with gradual but potentially high dispersal propensity. Monophyly and limited regional distribution indicate Mediterranean endemic origin. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 86 , 1–9. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. A new microsporidan, Nosema algerae n. sp., was found in a laboratory colony of Anopheles stephensi. The microsporidan infects a variety of tissues of both larvae and adults and is highly pathogenic for its host. The structure and life cycle of the microsporidan under the light and electron microscope is described and its relationship to other Nosema species infecting mosquitoes is discussed. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS. Morphogenesis, and the cortical structures of Brooklynella hostilis, a cyrtophorine gymnostome ciliate ectoparasitic on marine fishes, were studied from protargol silver-impregnated preparations and with the aid of electron microscopy. The pattern of morphogenesis of Brooklynella is close to that found in less differentiated species of the families Chlamydodontidae (e.g., in the genus Trithigmostoma) and Dysteriidae (e.g., in the genus Hartmanula). The full number of kineties in the opisthe is restored after division from a segment of the left one of the 3 kinetics producing the oral rows. The oral rows consist of a double row of kinetosomes arranged in a zig-zag pattern; only the outer row is ciliated, the inner one being barren. However, the positions of the postciliary and transverse fibers indicate that the oral rows are not homologs of an undulating membrane but are akin to a membranelle. In association with the ventral somatic kinetosomes there are 4 postciliary fibers; a rather aberrant, transversally oriented kinetodesma; 2 microtubular, transverse fibers plus a transverse fibrousspur; and one to several ribbons of subkinetal microtubular fibers. Not directly associated with the kinetosomes are fibrous strands running subpellicularly between the kinetosomes and also deep into the cytoplasm. The cortical structures of Brooklynella are compared with those of some other groups of ciliates of about the same phylogenetic level in which the subkinetal microtubules can also be found– rhynchodine, suctorian, and chonotrich ciliates. The nasse consists of 6–8 nematodesmata not closely associated with the microtubular cytopharyngeal tube. The former have a distinctly developed densely fibrous capitulum containing barren kinetosomes which originally produced the nematodesma during stomatogenesis; the capitulum is connected by a fibrous link to the microtubular shaft. Extending from the oral rows to the capitula are fibrous structures strongly reminiscent of filamentous reticulum in hymenostome and peritrich ciliates. The structure of the posterio-ventral glandular organelle is also described and discussed. 相似文献

Recent immunocytological and molecular data show that heterochromaticnuclear regions, both constitutive and facultative, are modifieddifferently (cytosine hypermethylation and histone hypoacetylation)and late replicating, when compared to euchromatin. Intrusiveand/or additive (supernumerary) DNA sequences are often functionallysilenced; this is accompanied by their heterochromatinization.In this work we present a number of karyological studies onautotetraploid female cells of Silene latifolia (syn. Melandriumalbum). Immunofluorescence analyses do not indicate any globaldifferences in DNA methylation, histone H4 acetylation, andchromosome replication patterns which could arise as a consequenceof the duplication of the whole chromosome set of the originaldiploid genome. Similarly, the number of silver-positive nucleoliroughly correlates to the ploidy level. Early replication andH4 hyperacetylation have been detected at all subterminal chromosomeregions. This, together with cDNA in situ hybridization patterns,indicates the localization of gene-rich regions. DNA methylationand chromosome replication patterns, but not histone H4 acetylation,show differences among the four X chromosomes present: one tothree X chromosomes were observed as hypermethylated and/orlate replicating. Taken together, the data demonstrate thatthere is no overall silencing of the additional two sets ofautosomes in the tetraploid cells, but the X chromosomes couldbe subject to an irregular dosage compensation.
