A Pink Marine Micro-organism

A Microfabricated Dielectrophoretic Micro-organism Concentrator

This project focuses on the development of a micro-organism concentrator. Pathogen detection, particularly MEMS based detection, is often limited by sample concentration. The proposed concentrator will interface with a pathogen detector. This type of pathogen concentrator can be useful for many kinds of applications including water purification systems, medical applications and biological warfa...

Pneumocystis carinii: an atypical fungal micro-organism.

The purpose of this review is to assist mycologists in having a better understanding of Pneumocystis carinii and the disease that it causes. Now considered to be a fungus, P. carinii is unusual in its life cycle and relationship with the host. P. carinii pneumonia (PCP) pathogenesis, immunology and host defence mechanisms are examined, as well as epidemiological and control strategies. Most pne...

Marine Organism: A Rich Source of Bioactive Metabolites

Introduction The marine resources are nowadays widely studied because of numerous reasons. One of the reason is as the oceans cover more than 70% of the world surface and among 36 known living phyla, 34 of them are found in marine environments with more than 300000+ known species of fauna and flora . The rationale of searching for drugs from marine environment stem from the fact that marine pla...

Biobanking of a Marine Invertebrate Model Organism: The Sea Urchin

The sea urchin has long been used as an invertebrate model organism in developmental biology, membrane transport and sperm oocyte interactions, and for the assessment of marine pollution. This review explores the effects of cryopreservation and biobanking in the biology and development of sea urchins, all the way from germaplasm through to juveniles. This review will provide an integral view of...
