Cyclas lacustris, draparnaud

Ocular infection associated with Delftia lacustris: first report.

The immatures of Culicoides lacustris Ronderos (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae).

Larva and pupa of the Patagonian species Culicoides lacustris Ronderos are described in detail with phase-contrast microscope at oil immersion and scanning electron microscope. Studied specimens were collected in a wetland, alongside to the Provincial Route 12, between the cities of Esquel and Gualjaina in the Chubut Province. They are compared with the more similar congener, Culicoides venezue...

Physa acuta Draparnaud, 1805 (Gastropoda: Physidae): a study of topotypic specimens.

A description is given of Physa acuta Draparnaud, 1805, based on topotypic specimens from the Garonne river basin, and additional samples from the environs of the French cities of Montpellier and Perpignan. It proved indistinguishable, in shell and anatomy, from topotypic Physa cubensis Pfeiffer, 1839, thus leading the authors to admit the synonymy of the two nominal species under the older nam...

Impact of rhizobacteria on growth and chromium accumulation in Scirpus lacustris L. grown under chromium supplementation.

Four chromate tolerant rhizobacterial strains viz., RZB-01, RZB-02, RZB-03 and RZB-04 were isolated from rhizosphere of Scirpus lacustris collected from Cr-contaminated area. These strains characterized at morphological and biochemical levels. The most efficient chromate tolerant strain RZB-03 was inoculated to fresh plant of S. lacustris and grown in 2 microg ml(-1) and 5 microg ml(-1) of Cr+6...

Multiple src-related kinase genes, srk1-4, in the fresh water sponge Spongilla lacustris.

In one of the simplest metazoan organisms, the sponge Spongilla lacustris, at least four different src-related kinase genes (srk1-4) are expressed, all of which show a high degree of similarity to the c-src genes of vertebrates. Whereas srk2 and srk3 are clearly unrelated at the nucleic acid level, srk1 and srk4 share identical sequences in the 5' parts of their cDNAs. The cloning of several pr...
