چکیده
Recently, two introduced tunicate species Ecteinascidia thurstoni Herdman, 1891 and Clavelina cyclus Tokioka & Nishikawa, 1975 were discovered in the coastal waters of Thailand. E. thurstoni was found in Andaman Sea, the west coast of Thailand while C. cyclus was first recorded in the east coast, upper Gulf of Thailand. From the historical records, E. thurstoni can be found in South Asia, South Africa, Australia, and Red Sea while C. cyclus can be found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific.

marine-derived antitumor compound isolated from the Caribbean tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, and is currently being studied in phase II/III clinical trials for ovarian, breast, endometrial, prostate, and pediatric cancers. Its novel structure, combined with meager availability from nature and unique mechanism of action, has made 1a a very attractive and important synthetic target. The first ...

The colonial ascidian Ecteinascidia turbinata Herdman 1880 (Phlebobranchiata; Perophoridae) is a widespread tunicate found in tropical and subtropical waters on both sides of the Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea (Berrill, 1932). This species has often been reported to foul floats and other human-made structures (e.g. WHOI, 1952). Intercontinental dispersion of this species is attributable ...

Chemical studies of a streptomycete isolated from a cyanobacterium associated with the tropical tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata led to the bioassay-guided purification of two antibacterial bisanthraquinone metabolites and a cytotoxic artifact. The structures, including relative configurations of these octacyclic compounds, were established by spectroscopic analyses. Their potent antibacterial ...

Almost all ascidian larvae bear three mucus secreting and sensory organs, the adhesive papillae, at the anterior end of the trunk, which play an important role during the settlement phase. The morphology and the cellular composition of these organs varies greatly in the different species. The larvae of the Clavelina genus bear simple bulbous papillae, which are considered to have only a secreto...
متن کاملA note on the genus name Rhodococcus Zopf 1891 and its homonyms.
The genus name Rhodococcus Zopf 1891 was created to accommodate two species of red pigment (lipochrome)-producing bacteria. However, the genus name Rhodococcus Hansgirg 1884 had already been applied to an algal taxon. The wording of the 1975 and subsequent revisions of the Code dealing with bacteria/prokaryotes is such that the name Rhodococcus Zopf 1891 is illegitimate, despite the fact that i...
