The effects of chronic inorganic and organic phosphate exposure on bactericidal activity of the coelomic fluid of the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus (Lamarck) (Echinodermata: Echinoidea).

The sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus can survive chronic exposure to sodium phosphate (inorganic phosphate) concentrations as high as 3.2 mg L-1, and triethyl phosphate (organic phosphate) concentrations of 1000 mg L-1. However, chronic exposure to low (0.8 mg L-1 inorganic and 10 mg L-1 organic phosphate), medium (1.6 mg L-1 inorganic and 100 mg L-1 organic phosphate) or high (3.2 mg L-1 inorg...

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Characteristics of Pigments and Coelomic Fluid of Sea Urchin, Echinodermata Mathaei Species, from the Persian Gulf

Background & Aims: Sea urchin immune responses are directly exposed to potentially pathogenic microorganisms and develop defence responses mainly based on immunocytes and humoral factors contained in the coelomic fluid. In addition, the polyhydroxylated 1, 4-naphthoquinone pigments are found to possess excellent antimicrobial, antialgal and antioxidant activities. The present ...

CHRONIC TOXICITY TEST WITH SEA URCHIN Echinometra lucunter AND Lytechinus variegatus (ECHINODERMATA: ECHINOIDEA), EXPOSED TO LIGHT-STICK - FLAG PATERNOSTER USED FOR LONGLINE SURFACE FISHING

In this work, the chronic toxicity of a mixture of light-stick chemicals and water was tested. The light-stick is used in fishery activities to catch swordfish. The tubes were collected on the beaches of the Costa dos Coqueiros BA, Brazil, in the period from 14th to 31st July 2007. The method used was a short chronic toxicity test where embryos of the sea urchins Echinometra lucunter and Lytech...

Making a mouth: elucidating morphogenetic events of mouth development in the sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus

Deuterostomes are bilaterian animals in which the blastopore, the site of gastrulation, becomes the anus and the mouth develops secondarily. Deuterostome phyla include Chordata, such as vertebrates like ourselves, and Echinodermata, such as sea urchins. The extent of homology among deuterostome mouths is unknown. To address this question, this thesis compares three aspects of mouth morphogenesi...
