Electrical properties of isolated olfactory receptor cells were studied using voltageand current-clamp techniques based on whole-cell patch-clamp methods. Squid olfactory receptor cells contain voltage-gated Na and K channels and are capable of generating action potentials. Chemicals that elicit escape-jetting responses in behavioral experiments affect the excitability of isolated receptor cell...

Carbon dioxide (CO2) levels projected to occur in the oceans by the end of this century cause a range of behavioural effects in fish, but whether other highly active marine organisms, such as cephalopods, are similarly affected is unknown. We tested the effects of projected future CO2 levels (626 and 956 µatm) on the behaviour of male two-toned pygmy squid, Idiosepius pygmaeus. Exposure to elev...

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease with the second number of cases in Indonesia. The therapy process carried out by utilizing one waste materials, namely squid ink bags, which are predicted to have active compounds. In TB cycle, enzyme FabH catalyzed as mediator lipid synthesis. Inhibition became main target through role has potential bactery inhibitor. purpose this study was analyze an alternative...
