Growth of endosymbiotic algae in the green hydra, Hydra viridissima
Stable endosymbiosis depends upon balanced growth of the symbionts. In green hydra, coincident patterns of host and algal mitotic index suggest that coordinated reproduction provides for balanced growth. However, when hydra shrink during food shortage, the population of endosymbiotic algae in a green hydra must likewise decline in size. Thus far, no mechanism of reducing the size of the endosym...
متن کاملIsolation and cultivation of endosymbiotic algae from green hydra and phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA sequences.
Symbiotic associations are of wide significance in evolution and biodiversity. The green hydra is a typical example of endosymbiosis. In its gastrodermal myoepithelial cells it harbors the individuals of a unicellular green algae. Endosymbiotic algae from green hydra have been successfully isolated and permanently maintained in a stable clean lab culture for the first time. We reconstructed the...
متن کاملRegulation of intracellular algae by various strains of the symbiotic Hydra viridissima.
In observations on three strains of green hydra, the host and the algal mitotic index is closely coordinated only for the smallest. As the hydra strain size increases the coordination of host and algal mitosis progressively breaks down, first in timing for a medium-sized strain and then in rate for a large strain. Despite disparities between host and algal mitotic index, the number of algae per...
متن کاملDevelopment and population growth of Hydra viridissima Pallas, 1766 (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) in the laboratory.
Hydras, the most representative freshwater Cnidaria, are of common occurrence in bodies of water in every continent except Antarctica. This study was planned with the aim of maintaining a population of Hydra viridissima in laboratory culture to enable the determination of the individual and population growth-rates of this species, as well as its population doubling time and generation time, wit...
متن کاملEffects of norflurazon on green and brown hydra.
For the first time effects of norflurazon on green (Hydra viridissima Pallas, 1766) and brown hydra (Hydra oligactis Pallas, 1766) in high- and low-light conditions were investigated in order to establish the extent of damage that this substance inflicts, with special emphasis on the "bleaching effect" and the effect on hydra-algae symbiosis. Green hydra is a typical example of an endosymbiotic...
