Abstract: Many articulated brachiopods experience marked life habit variations during ontogeny because they experience their fluid environment at successively higher Reynolds numbers, and they can change the configuration of their inhalant and exhalant flows as body size increases. We show that the extant brachiopod Terebratalia transversa undergoes a substantial ontogenetic change in reorientation governed by rotation around the pedicle. T. transversa′s reorientation angle (maximum ability to rotate on the pedicle) decreases during ontogeny, from 180 degrees in juveniles to 10–20 degrees in individuals exceeding 5 mm, to complete cessation of rotation in individuals larger than 10 mm. Rotation ability is substantially reduced after T. transversa achieves the adult lophophore configuration and preferred orientation with respect to ambient water currents at a length of 2.5–5 mm. We hypothesize that the rotation angle of T. transversa is determined mainly by the position of ventral and dorsal points of attachment of dorsal pedicle muscles relative to the pedicle. T. transversa shows a close correlation between the ontogenetic change in reorientation angle and ontogeny of morphological traits that are related to points of attachment of dorsal pedicle muscles, although other morphological features can also limit rotation in the adult stage. The major morphological change in cardinalia shape and the observed reduction of rotation affect individuals 2.5–10 mm in length. The position of ventral insertions of dorsal pedicle muscles remains constant, but contraction of dorsal pedicle muscles is functionally handicapped because dorsal insertions shift away from the valve midline, rise above the dorsal valve floor, and become limited by a wide cardinal process early in ontogeny (<5 mm). The rate of increase of cardinal process width and of distance between dorsal pedicle muscle scars substantially decreases in the subadult stage (5–10 mm), and most of the cardinalia shell traits grow nearly isometrically in the adult stage (>10 mm). T. transversa attains smaller shell length in crevices than on exposed substrates. The proportion of small‐sized individuals and population density is lower on exposed substrates than in crevices, indicating higher juvenile mortality on substrates prone to grazing and physical disturbance. The loss of reorientation ability can be a consequence of morphological changes that strengthen substrate attachment and maximize protection against biotic or physical disturbance (1) by minimizing torques around the pedicle axis and/or (2) by shifting energy investments into attachment strength at the expense of the cost involved in reorientation. 相似文献

Yersinia enterocolitica sensu stricto, Y. kristensenii, Y. aldovae and Y. intermedia strains were for the first time isolated in the Sochi districts from people, synanthropic rodents and washings from vegetables. In the adjacent alpine and subalpine areas isolates were obtained from wild rodents. 86.7% of the isolated strains were assigned to the known antigenic variants; O16; O5; O6.31; O7.8 and O6.30 serovars were predominant. All the strains isolated from people belonged to biovar 1 and O5; O6.31; O6.30 and O10 serovars. Y. intermedia and Y. aldovae belonged to O1, 2a, 3 and O16 serovars respectively. Y. kristensenii could not be agglutinated with sera against type strains of Yersiniae represented in the antigenic scheme of Wauters et al. 相似文献

M+-cell subpopulation forming M-rosettes and M(-)-cell subpopulation not forming M-rosettes were revealed in the peripheral blood of patients with B-cell chronic lympholeukemia (B-CLL) by means of mouse red blood rosette formation test. M+-subpopulation contained a larger percentage of cells expressing Ia-like antigens, as compared to M- subpopulation. On the other hand, the latter contained a significantly higher amount of cytoplasmatic immunoglobulin-containing cells. M+ appeared to be less mature than M- cells. Cells of B-CLL patients had a heterogeneous response to 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Less mature cells with surface immunoglobulin expression did differentiate, while more mature cells containing cytoplasmatic immunoglobulins did not. Differentiation was accompanied by the acquisition of characteristics peculiar to more mature cells, i. e. cytoplasmatic immunoglobulin accumulation. Subpopulations of M+ and M- cells from each patient also had a different pattern of response to TPA: less mature M+ cells did differentiate, while more mature M- cells did not. Maturation of less mature leukemia cells, as the disease progresses, is suggested to result in a heterogeneous pattern of immunological B-CLL phenotype. 相似文献

Spring oilseed rapeBrassica napus L. ssp.oleifera cv. HM-81 was transformed with TL-DNA of the Ri plasmid of the agropine strainAgrobacterium rhizogenes 15834. Selfed progenies (R2 and R3 generations) were studied for changes in values of growth characteristics and fatty acids contents. Transformants are ‘homozygous’ for TL-DNA. Both generations of transformants differed significantly from the nontransformed control plants in reduced length, lower number of pods per plant, lower total mass of seeds and the higher number of branches. The contents of palmitic, linoleic and linolenic acids were significantly higher in transformants when compared with the control. On the contrary, the contents of both stearic and oleic acids were in most of transformants significantly lower. Only traces of erucic acid (less than 0.05 % ) were found, both in transformed and nontransformed plants. 相似文献

In 59 samples of periphyton and phytoplankton collected in 2002 - 2003 from the Nahal Qishon (Qishon River), northern Israel, we found 178 species from seven divisions of algae and cyanoprocaryotes. Diatoms, clorophytes, and cyanoprocaryotes prevail. Nitzschia and Navicula (Bacillariophyta) are the most abundant. Most of the species are cosmopolitan or widespread, except Lagynion janei (Chrysophyta), which is endemic for the Mediterranean Realm. About 17% of species (26) are new for Israel and five of them represent the first recorded genera: Crinalium endophyticum Crow, Actinocyclus normanii (Gregory) Hustedt, Rhizoclonium hieroglyphicum (Agardh) Kütz (Chlorophyta), Lagynion janei Bourelly, and Stylococcus aureus Chodat. Most of them come from a rare riverine assemblage with red alga Audouinella pygmea, as well as from the estuarine assemblage. Alkaliphiles predominate among the indicators of acidity, with few acidophiles confined to the communities under the impact of industrial wastes. Among the indicators of salinity, most numerous are the oligohalobien-indifferents and species adapted to a moderate salinity level. The relative species richness of ecological groups and the indices of saprobity are correlated with changes in conductivity, pH, and N-nitrate concentration. Indicators of organic pollution fall in the range of betameso- to alfamesosaprobic self-purification grades. Our studies show ecological significance of the Nahal Qishon as a model for a strongly disturbed aquatic ecosystem in the coastal zone of eastern Mediterranean. 相似文献

The concentrations of nine metals were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in surface sediments of three coastal creeks, namely, the Ifie, Egbokodo and Ubeji creeks, in the Niger Delta of Nigeria, from August 2012 to January 2013. The aim of the study was to provide information on the spatial and seasonal distribution patterns, degree of contamination, and ecological risks of metals in these sediments. The mean concentrations of the nine metals in these creek sediments ranged from 0.30 to 3.20?mg kg?1 Cd; 10.7 to 24.7?mg kg?1 Pb, 125 to 466?mg kg?1 Cr; 3.1.10 to 14.9?mg kg?1 Cu; 4.7 to 14.3?mg kg?1 Co; 61.1 to 115?mg kg?1 Ni; 106 to 183?mg kg?1 Mn; 52.0 to 170?mg kg?1 Zn and 5 469 to 20 639?mg kg?1 Fe. In general, the metal concentrations were higher in the dry season than the wet season, except for Cr. The concentrations of Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn were above their regulatory control limits in sediment as specified by the Nigerian Regulatory Authority and Cd was identified as the main ecological risk factor. The enrichment factors for the studied metals followed the order: Cd > Cr > Ni > Zn > Pb > Co > Mn > Cu. The average multiple pollution index values indicated that these sediments were severely polluted with significant inputs from Cd, Ni and Cr. 相似文献

Atoplastic surgery using intestinal tissue has been used for the reconstructive therapy of the urinary tract since the mid-20th
century; however, cell mechanisms of the urothelium engraftment are still unclear. Intestinal stem cells possess plasticity
and, after autoplastic surgery, are presumably able to transdifferentiate into mature cells of the urinary tract. Using the
preliminarily developed model for evaluating of the transdifferentiaion of somatic cells into urothelium in vivo, we found
that, in syngeneic C57BL mice, epithelial Gfp-producing intestinal cells transdifferentiate into the cryoinjured bladder urothelium.
Gfp was detected in the bladder tissue of recipient mice using reverse polymerase chain reaction, fluorescence and immunofluorescence.
Colocalization of Her-4 protein revealed by common urothelium expression pattern and Gfp was demonstrated in few urothelial
cells by double immunohistochemical staining of the bladder tissue with specific antibodies. The results obtained suggest
that epithelial intestinal cells are able to transdifferentiate into bladder urothelium; however, the level of transdifferentiation
is low and, presumably, cannot ensure the full functional urothelium engraftment in the case of autoplastic bladder surgery
using intestinal tissue. 相似文献
