concentration of as in the muscle and liver of aspius vorax, cyprinion macrostomus, barbus luteus in karoon river and liza klunzingeri and liza macrolepis from hendijan port, persian gulf, were investigated in 2011. in this study, 30 samples of fish were collected in winter. metals were extracted from the tissues using wet the digestion method and concentration of the heavy metals were measured...

The role of glycosyl-Ptdlns (GPI)-anchored proteins in the cytodifferentiation of Tetrahymena vorax was examined. Labelling of cells with [3H]myristate or [3H]palmitate followed by electrophoresis showed an array of proteins carrying covalently bound lipids. El6ctrophoresis of protein from cells labelled with the GPI-anchor components [3H]Ins and [14C]ethanolamine revealed three polypeptides on...

The polymorphic ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena vorax can undergo differentiation from the microstomal form, which normally feeds on bacteria and other particulate matter, into the macrostomal cell type, which is capable of ingesting prey ciliates. The process is triggered by exposure of the microstome to an inducer contained in stomatin, an exudate of the prey. To establish the identity of the ...

This study was carried out between November 2013 and May 2015, to determine the fish fauna inhabited in Atatürk Dam lake. The specimens were obtained by different technical fishing gears. It determined that caught belonging 25 species (Capoeta trutta, Capoeta umbla, Cyprinon macrostomus, Arabibarbus grypus, Carasobarbus luteus, Carassius carassius, gibelio, Cyprinus carpio, Garra variabilis, Lu...

Stream periphyton has implications for ecosystem processes, yet little is known about its function in response to restoration efforts. In this study, we compared the taxonomic and functional composition of periphytic ciliates between restored unrestored (control) streams two different immersion periods identify species with indicator potential, ciliate traits that differ stream types, examine e...
