Molecular phylogenetics and asexuality in the brine shrimp Artemia.
Explaining cases of long-term persistence of parthenogenesis has proven an arduous task for evolutionary biologists. Interpreting sexual-asexual interactions though has recently advanced owing to methodological design, increased taxon sampling and choice of model organisms. We inferred the phylogeny of Artemia, a halophilic branchiopod genus of sexual and parthenogenetic forms with cosmopolitan...
متن کاملA gynandromorph of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina.
S EXUAL mosaics have been reported in three genera of Crustacea. A bilateral mosaic of Carcinus was found to have a testis on one side and a mixed gonad on the other (VEILLET 1945). Gynandromorphs with a testis and ovary have been reported in Homarus (see review by CHACE and MOORE 1959) and in the cladoceran, Simocephalus (BANTA, WOOD, BROWN and INGLE 1939). No intersex or mosaic of Artemia has...
متن کاملThe Brine Shrimp Artemia: Adapted to Critical Life Conditions
The brine shrimp Artemia is a micro-crustacean, well adapted to the harsh conditions that severely hypersaline environments impose on survival and reproduction. Adaptation to these conditions has taken place at different functional levels or domains, from the individual (molecular-cellular-physiological) to the population level. Such conditions are experienced by very few equivalent macro-plank...
متن کاملToxicity Effect of Silver Nanoparticles in Brine Shrimp Artemia
The present study revealed the toxic effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in Artemia nauplii and evaluated the mortality rate, hatching percentage, and genotoxic effect in Artemia nauplii/cysts. The AgNPs were commercially purchased and characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Nanoparticles were spherical in nature and with siz...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of phenoloxidase from brine shrimp Artemia sinica.
Phenoloxidase from Artemia sinica (AsPO) was purified by Superdex 200 gel-filtration and Q Sepharose fast flow ion-exchange chromatography, and its properties were characterized biochemically and enzymatically by using L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) as the specific substrate. Results showed that AsPO was isolated as a monomeric protein of 125.5 kDa in molecular mass. The optimal pH value and...
