Hormesis response of marine and freshwater luminescent bacteria to metal exposure.
The stimulatory effect of low concentrations of toxic chemicals on organismal metabolism, referred to as hormesis, has been found to be common in the widely used luminescence bioassay. This paper aims to study the hormesis phenomenon in both marine and freshwater luminescent bacteria, named Photobacterium phosphorem and Vibrio qinghaiensis. The effects of Cu (II), Zn (II), Cd (II) and Cr (VI) o...
متن کاملDevelopmental dimorphism and expression of chemosensory-mediated behavior: habitat selection by a specialist marine herbivore.
Developmental dimorphisms provide an opportunity to compare sensory systems and behavior patterns between different forms of a single species. Alternative morphs differing in dispersal ability often show behavioral differences that mediate life-history trade-offs. We measured the behavioral responses of both long-lived, feeding larvae and short-lived, non-feeding larvae of the specialist marine...
متن کاملLuminescent bacteria from a brackish environment
Bioluminescent bacteria are ubiquitous in the marine environment and are also found in freshwater, brackish water, and soil environments. Luminous bacteria have been observed in marine environment living as planktonic or free-living, saprophytic, light organandgut-symbiotic, andpathogenic. Bioluminescent bacteria are used in biotechnological applications, in tests of water quality and toxicity,...
متن کاملChemosensory response of marine flagellate towards L- and D- dissolved free amino acids generated during heavy grazing on bacteria.
This study investigated the generation of dissolved free amino acids (DFAA) by the bacterivorous flagellate Rhynchomonas nasuta when feeding on abundant prey. Specifically, it examined whether this flagellate protist exhibits a chemosensory response towards those amino acids. The concentrations of glycine and the L- and D-enantiomers of glutamate, serine, threonine, alanine, and leucine were de...
متن کاملExtremely Thermophilic Marine Bacteria
A novel extremely thermophilic bacterium was isolated from a shallow marine hydrothermal vent environment (depth, 22 m) in Tachibana Bay, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. The cells of this organism were gramnegative rods. Growth occurred at temperatures between 50 and 85°C (optimum temperature, 80°C; doubling time at optimum temperature, 90 min), at pH 5.5 and 9.0 (optimum pH, 7.0), and in the prese...
