Multiparametric Analysis of Aquatic Organisms Using Flow Cytometry
Environmental research on aquatic microorganisms, such as phytoplankton, aquatic bacteria, and aquatic viruses, often takes advantage of their natural chlorophyll, phycobilins, and other intrinsic fluorescent pigments. Although epifluorescence microscopy is still used frequently, flow cytometry has become a key research tool due to its ability to provide multiparametric analysis at the single-c...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Tracking of Small Aquatic Organisms Using Fluorescent Nanoparticles
Tracking techniques are vital for the understanding of the biology and ecology of organisms. While such techniques have provided important information on the movement and migration of large animals, such as mammals and birds, scientific advances in understanding the individual behaviour and interactions of small (mm-scale) organisms have been hampered by constraints, such as the sizes of existi...
متن کاملPolar Narcosis in Aquatic Organisms
The majority of industrial organic chemicals lack identifiable structural characteristics that result in specific biological activity. These nonpolar-nonelectrolytes are acutely toxic to aquatic organisms via a nonspecific mode of action termed narcosis. The toxicity of industrial chemicals eliciting nonpolar narcosis can be reliably predicted by log P (baseline toxicity models). Using single c...
متن کاملMolecular Techniques for the Detection of Organisms in Aquatic Environments, with Emphasis on Harmful Algal Bloom Species
Molecular techniques to detect organisms in aquatic ecosystems are being gradually considered as an attractive alternative to standard laboratory methods. They offer faster and more accurate means of detecting and monitoring species, with respect to their traditional homologues based on culture and microscopic counting. Molecular techniques are particularly attractive when multiple species need...
متن کاملExcess carbon in aquatic organisms and ecosystems: Physiological, ecological, and evolutionary implications
Cells and organisms, both autotrophs and heterotrophs, commonly face imbalanced access to and uptake of elements relative to their requirements. C is often in excess relative to key nutrient elements like N or P in photoautotrophs. Likewise, one of the lessons from ecological stoichiometry is that the growth of consumers, especially herbivores and detritivores, is commonly limited by N or P suc...
