Arginine kinase in the cladoceran Daphnia magna: cDNA sequencing and expression is associated with resistance to toxic Microcystis.
Nutrient loading derived from anthropogenic activities into lakes have increased the frequency, severity and duration of toxic cyanobacterial blooms around the world. Although herbivorous zooplankton are generally considered to be unable to control toxic cyanobacteria, populations of some zooplankton, including Daphnia, have been shown to locally adapt to toxic cyanobacteria and suppress cyanob...
متن کاملResponse of Daphnia Magna to Pulsed Exposures of Chlorpyrifos
Because aquatic organisms can be exposed to contaminants in an episodic manner, it is necessary to determine whether standard toxicity tests adequately simulate the toxicity of short-lived compounds, such as the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos (CPF). We conducted experiments to evaluate the effect of binary combinations of concentration, duration, and interval of CPF exposures to Daphn...
متن کاملDaphnia magna
The cellular architecture of the Daphnia compound eye visual system was studied by using computer-aided techniques. All the neurons in one half of the bilaterally symmetric optic ganglion (OG) were reconstructed in three dimensions from serial electron micrographs. The techniques employed were those developed by Levinthal and collaborators (Macagno, Levinthal, and Sobel, Ann. Rev. Biophys. Bioe...
متن کاملToxic substance from a natural bloom of Microcystis aeruginosa.
A toxic substance contained in the blue-green alga Microcystis aeruginosa was purified and partially characterized. Toxic algal cells were collected from a highly eutrophic lake in Japan, and the toxin was purified by homogenization, ultrafiltration, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. The final preparation gave a single peak on high-performance liquid chromatography. The toxicity ...
متن کاملIron uptake by toxic and nontoxic strains of Microcystis aeruginosa.
Iron uptake by microcystin-producing and non-microcystin-producing strains of Microcystis aeruginosa was investigated through short-term uptake assays. Although strain-specific differences were observed, the siderophore-independent Fe uptake kinetics were essentially similar (e.g., maximum uptake rates of 2.0 to 3.3 amol·cell(-1)·h(-1)) for the wild-type toxic strain PCC7806 and a genetically e...
