The exotic Indo-West-Pacific species, Ficopomatus uschakovi (Polychaeta, Serpulidae) is recorded for the first time in the Tropical Eastern Pacific from two sites in La Encrucijada Biosphere Reserve, Chiapas, a coastal lagoon in the Pacific south of Mexico. The means of dispersal of this serpulid species still remains unclear, as the nearest port (Puerto Chiapas) is 70 km to the south, and ther...

The article discusses the interaction of metabolic products a wood-destroying fungus dry rot species (Serpula lacrymans (Wulfen) P. Karst.) with commonly used lime mortar. Mortar samples in presented experiment were made mostly laboratory conditions so as to make it possible set input and determine initial properties examined samples. Matured mortar placed cultivation boxes growth Serpula expos...

In a screening of basidiomycete cultures from Chile for the production of antibiotics we identified a Serpula himantoides strain as a producer of metabolites inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi. Bioactivity guided purification resulted in the isolation of four new antibiotics. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. All four compounds are succinimide and maleimide der...

213 Leander, B. S. (2007). Molecular phylogeny and ultrastructure of Selenidium serpulae (Apicomplexa, Archigregarinia) from the calcareous tubeworm Serpula vermicularis (Annelida, Polychaeta, Sabellida). — Zoologica Scripta , 36 , 213–227. Archigregarines are dynamic single-celled parasites that inhabit the intestinal systems of marine invertebrates, especially suspension feeding and deposit f...

The 16S rRNA sequences were determined for species of Spirochaeta, Treponema, Borrelia, Leptospira, Leptonema, and Serpula, using a modified Sanger method of direct RNA sequencing. Analysis of aligned 16S rRNA sequences indicated that the spirochetes form a coherent taxon composed of six major clusters or groups. The first group, termed the treponemes, was divided into two subgroups. The first ...

I . An account will be given of the anatomy of the blood-system of Pomatoceros triqueter, and of comparative observations on the following serpulids: Serpula vermicularis, S. lo-biancoi, Hydroides norvegica, Vermiliopsis infundibulum, Salmacina incrustans, Protula intestinum, P. tubularia, Apomatus ampulliferus, A. similis, Spirorbis militaris, and S. corrugatus. 2. In all species there is a ce...
