Ultrastructures and classification of circulating hemocytes in 9 botryllid ascidians (chordata: ascidiacea).
Ultrastructures of circulating hemocytes were studied in 9 botryllid ascidians. The hemocytes are classified into five types: hemoblasts, phagocytes, granulocytes, morula cells, and pigment cells. These five types are always found in the 9 species. They should represent the major hemocyte types of the circulating cells in the blood. Hemoblasts are small hemocytes having a high nucleus/cytoplasm...
متن کاملCytotoxicity of the crude extracts of Marine ascidians (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) from Tuticorin, Southeast coast of India
Marine organisms such as ascidians, sponges and soft corals, containing symbiotic microorganisms are a rich source of bioactive compounds. This study examined the cytotoxic potential of two ascidians found in the coastal waters of Tuticorin. The ascidians samples Didemnum psammatode and Phallusia arabica were extracted in methanol and ethanol. The crude extracts were tested for cytotoxicity usi...
متن کاملIdentification of Ascidians (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) around Larak Island in the Persian Gulf
Despite the variety of marine organisms recorded from the Persian Gulf, acidians located along the Persian Gulf have not received much attention. We collected Ascidian samples from four sites along Larak Island (Persian Gulf) using Scuba diving and snorkeling at a depth that ranged from 5-15 m. Taxonomic identification was carried out by authoritative keys and texts. We found 4 species that be...
متن کاملColoniality has evolved once in Stolidobranch Ascidians.
Ascidians exhibit a rich array of body plans and life history strategies. Colonial species typically consist of zooids embedded in a common test and brood large, fully developed larvae, while solitary species live singly and usually free-spawn eggs that develop into small, undifferentiated larvae. Ascidians in the order Stolidobranchia include both colonial and solitary species, as well as seve...
متن کاملHuman-mediated global dispersion of Styela plicata (Tunicata, Ascidiacea)
Styela plicata (Lesueur, 1823) is a solitary ascidian found in shallow, protected environments in tropical and warm-temperate oceans. Its origin is uncertain, given that it has already been identified in several oceans since it was first described, showing a very broad geographical distribution. Although S. plicata has been historically classified as a cosmopolitan species, in the past few deca...
