Along the North American Pacific coast, the common intertidal sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima engages in facultative, flexible symbioses with Symbiodinium muscatinei (a dinoflagellate) and Elliptochloris marina (a chlorophyte). Determining how symbiotic state affects host fitness is essential to understanding the ecological significance of engaging in such flexible relationships with dive...

The temporal and spatial distributions of organic tin compounds, irgarol and metals in sediments from a marina and the harbor of a small town near Stockholm, Sweden were investigated as part of a study of the environmental impacts of anti-fouling paint. The upper (0-2 cm) sediment layer was collected at seven stations in the marina and eight stations in the small town harbor; two reference stat...

Water oxidation by photosystem (PS) II in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms is a major source of energy on the earth, leading to the production of a stable reductant. Mechanisms generating a high oxidation potential for water oxidation have been a major focus of photosynthesis research. This potential has not been estimated directly but has been measured by the redox potential of the primary el...

Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have led to the erection of the phylum Amoebozoa, uniting naked and testate lobose amoebae, the mycetozoan slime moulds and amitochondriate amoeboid protists (Archamoebae). Molecular data together with ultrastructural evidence have suggested a close relationship between Mycetozoa and Archamoebae, classified together in the Conosea, which was named after the...

Spergularia marina (Caryophyllaceae) is a halophytic species and widely distributed among the sea shores of Turkey. Its seeds maybe unwinged or winged. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of salinity (0, 50, 100 and 500 mM NaCl) and temperature (10, 15, 25, 30, 35 degrees C) on seed germination. S. marina showed 73.3% germination in non-saline controls at 25 degrees C...

Bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) populations existed in Chesapeake Bay until 1933, when they declined dramatically due to a loss of seagrass habitat. Since then, there have been no documented populations within the Bay. However, some anecdotal observations of live bay scallops within the lower Bay suggest that restoration of the bay scallop is feasible. We therefore tested whether translocate...

The genome sequences of two novel monopartite RNA viruses were identified in a common eelgrass (Zostera marina) transcriptome dataset. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses revealed that these two novel viruses belong to the genus Amalgavirus in the family Amalgaviridae. They were named Zostera marina amalgavirus 1 (ZmAV1) and Zostera marina amalgavirus 2 (ZmAV2). Genomes of both ZmAV1 ...

Küresel ve ülkemiz bazında hızla gelişme gösteren marina işletmeciliği, lüks bir turizm sektörü olmanın yanı sıra, rekabet yoğun hizmet sektörüdür. Ülkemiz iklimi, doğası coğrafi yapısı bakımından işletmeciliğine uygun nadir ülkeler arasında yer almaktadır. Özellikle bu Covid-19 pandemi döneminde, birçok sektör olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Ancak özellikle üst gelir düzeyinde olan bireyler kendileri...

I discuss some recent discoveries in the spectroscopy of the charmonium-like resonances, and some of their theoretical interpretations are reviewed. Review and interpretation of new heavy states discovered at the B factories Marina Nielsen

Here, we present the draft genome sequences for five bacterial strains. These strains were all isolated from seagrass (Zostera marina) collected from Bodega Bay, CA, as a part of an undergraduate research project focused on seagrass-associated microbes.
