Sea Squirt Sex
I f you spend a minute observing behaviour at your next party, it is easy to grasp the basics of sexual selection theory females are choosy and males compete. But how do you choose or compete for the best partner when you are permanently stuck to a rock? Most marine organisms reproduce by releasing their eggs and sperm into the ocean. This mode of reproduction is called broadcast spawning. You'...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of sea squirt telomerase reverse transcriptase.
Telomerase is essential for maintaining telomere length and chromosome stability in most eukaryotic organisms. The telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex consists of two essential components, the catalytic telomerase reverse transcriptase protein (TERT) and the intrinsic telomerase RNA. The sea squirts, as urochordates, occupy a key position in the phylogenetic tree of the chordates: they diverge...
متن کاملHigh quality draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. strain AW19M42 isolated from a sea squirt in Northern Norway
Here we report the 8 Mb high quality draft genome of Streptomyces sp. strain AW19M42, together with specific properties of the organism and the generation, annotation and analysis of its genome sequence. The genome encodes 7,727 putative open reading frames, of which 6,400 could be assigned with COG categories. Also, 62 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA operons were identified. The genome harbors several g...
متن کاملPreparation and Antitumor Activity of CS5931, A Novel Polypeptide from Sea Squirt Ciona Savignyi
CS5931 is a novel anticancer agent isolated from the sea squirt Ciona savignyi. However, its content in the species is very low, and developing a novel approach for production of the polypeptide is promising. In the present study, we expressed and purified the polypeptide from E. coli, and the fermentation conditions were studied using response surface methodology. The yield of CS5931 was incre...
متن کاملPseudopelagicola gijangensis gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from the sea squirt Halocynthia roretzi.
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated YSS-7(T), was isolated from a sea squirt (Halocynthia roretzi) collected from the South Sea of South Korea. Strain YSS-7(T) grew optimally at 25 °C, at pH 7.0-8.0 and in the presence of 2.0% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain YSS-7(T) clustered with the type stra...
