Functional polarity of the tentacle of the sea anemone Anemonia viridis: role in inorganic carbon acquisition.
The oral epithelial layers of anthozoans have a polarized morphology: photosynthetic endosymbionts live within endodermal cells facing the coelenteric cavity and are separated from the external seawater by the ectodermal layer and the mesoglea. To study if this morphology plays a role in the supply of inorganic carbon for symbiont photosynthesis, we measured the change in pH and the rate of OH-...
متن کاملIncreasing pCO2 correlates with low concentrations of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate in the sea anemone Anemonia viridis
Marine anthozoans maintain a mutualistic symbiosis with dinoflagellates that are prolific producers of the algal secondary metabolite dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), the precursor of the climate-cooling trace gas dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Surprisingly, little is known about the physiological role of DMSP in anthozoans and the environmental factors that regulate its production. Here, we assesse...
متن کاملTrace element profiles of the sea anemone Anemonia viridis living nearby a natural CO2 vent
Ocean acidification (OA) is not an isolated threat, but acts in concert with other impacts on ecosystems and species. Coastal marine invertebrates will have to face the synergistic interactions of OA with other global and local stressors. One local factor, common in coastal environments, is trace element contamination. CO2 vent sites are extensively studied in the context of OA and are often co...
متن کاملA low molecular weight protein from the Sea Anemone Anemonia viridis with an anti Angiogenic activity
Sea anemones are a remarkable source of active principles due to a decentralized venom system. Blood vessel formation or angiogenesis is a very promising target against cancer, but the few available antiangiogenic compounds have a limited efficacy. In this study, a protein fraction was purified from tentacles of Anemonia viridis able to limit endothelial cells proliferation and vessel network f...
متن کاملCharacterization of Translationally Controlled Tumour Protein from the Sea Anemone Anemonia viridis and Transcriptome Wide Identification of Cnidarian Homologues
Gene family encoding translationally controlled tumour protein (TCTP) is defined as highly conserved among organisms; however, there is limited knowledge of non-bilateria. In this study, the first TCTP homologue from anthozoan was characterised in the Mediterranean Sea anemone, Anemonia viridis. The release of the genome sequence of Acropora digitifera, Exaiptasia pallida, Nematostella vectensi...
