History of research on C. elegans and other free-living nematodes as model organisms.
The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is now a major model organism in biology. The choice of Sydney Brenner to adopt this species in the mid-1960s and the success of his team in raising it to a model organism status have been told (http://www.wormbook.org/toc_wormhistory.html; Brenner, 2001; Ankeny, 2001). Here we review the pre-Brenner history of the use of free-living nematodes as models for g...
متن کاملIncorporation of Tritiated Thymidine in the Cells of Caenorhabditis Briggsae (nematoda) Reared in Axenic Culture
In the rhabditid nematode Caenorhabditis briggsae the incorporation of thymidine-H(3) has been studied by autoradiography after Feulgen staining, with animals maintained under axenic conditions in a medium of only partly defined composition. Labeling has been followed in adults left in the presence of thymidine-H(3) for periods of from (1/2) to 24 hours, as well as in adults reared from larvae ...
متن کامل18S ribosomal RNA gene phylogeny for some Rhabditidae related to Caenorhabditis.
We have investigated the molecular evolution of the nucleotide sequences of 18S ribosomal RNA genes (18S rDNA) from a set of nematodes in the family Rhabditidae (Nematoda: Secernentea). Our aim was to evaluate the usefulness of this gene for molecular systematics of this family, as well as to establish phylogenetic relationships within a group that has potential for comparative studies of the r...
متن کاملP-136: In Vitro Development of Ovine Oocytes Matured in A Chemically Defined Medium
Background: Despite great advances achieved in the field of in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM), almost all IVM media are supplemented with undefined component which not only pose the risk of pathogen transmission but also hinders our knowledge of molecular mechanisms of maturation. One of these components is serum that containing various concentration of unknown molecules affecting cellular proce...
متن کاملCultivation of the Pine Wilt Nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, in Axenic Culture Media.
The pine wilt nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, has been cultured axenically in vitro on soy peptone/yeast extract or modified Caenorhabditis medium supplemented with cholesterol and hemoglobin. Although growth, development and reproduction were best in soy peptone/yeast extract medium, satisfactory population size increases were observed in the chemically defined Caenorhaditis medium.
