Efficiency and Energetics of Artemia (Artemia salina) Cysts Hatching in different Osmolarity Media

Mitochondrial Biogenesis during Differentiation of Artemia Salina Cysts

Mitochondria isolated from cysts of Artemia salina (brine shrimp) were found to be devoid of cristae and to possess a low respiratory capability. Hydration of the cysts induces marked biochemical and morphological changes in the mitochondria. Their biogenesis proceeds in two stages. The first stage is completed within 1 h and is characterized by a rapid increase in the respiratory capability of...

The Survival of Artemia Salina (l.) in Various Media

Isolation and characterization of two acidic proteins of 60s ribosomes from Artemia salina cysts.

60S ribosomes from encysted gastrulae of the brine shrimp Artemia salina contain two acidic proteins, which are homologous to the Escherichia coli proteins L7 and L12. The proteins were purified and characterized with respect to molecular weight, amino-acid composition, peptide maps, and their functional requirement in the elongation factor dependent binding of aminoacyl transfer RNA to the rib...

On the metabolism of carotenoids in the crustacean Artemia salina.

Die Zusammensetzung und der Stoffwechsel der Carotinoide in adulten Exemplaren von Artemia salina wurden untersucht. Unabhängig von der Fütterung mit carotinoidfreier Hefe, mit an Oxicarotinoiden reicher Nahrung oder mit Oxocarotinoid-haltigen Algen lassen sich als Hauptpigmente Canthaxanthin (4.4'-Dioxo-/?-carotin) und Echinenon (4-Oxo-/?-carotin) nachweisen. Daneben wur­ den in einer Artemia-...

Effect of Initial Ozonation on the Hatching Rate of Artemia Cysts

In an experiment to investigate the bio-excitatory effect of ozone gas on the hatching of artemia cysts, it was found that limited blown ozone gas has an effect on significant increasing of the hatching time of artemia cysts, though artemia cycsts are very resistant to ozone. The cysts hatching were done intitialy using 50, 35, 15, 10 and 5 mg of ozone blowing into one-liter containers that las...
