Identification of Antimycobacterial Natural Products from a Library of Marine Invertebrate Extracts. [PDF]
Medicines (Basel), 2022 Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health crisis, requiring the urgent identification of new anti-mycobacterial drugs. We screened several organic and aqueous marine invertebrate extracts for their in vitro inhibitory activity against the causative ...

A phylogenomic framework and timescale for comparative studies of tunicates [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2018 Background Tunicates are the closest relatives of vertebrates and are widely used as models to study the evolutionary developmental biology of chordates. Their phylogeny, however, remains poorly understood, and to date, only the 18S rRNA nuclear gene and

An updated 18S rRNA phylogeny of tunicates based on mixture and secondary structure models [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Tunicates have been recently revealed to be the closest living relatives of vertebrates. Yet, with more than 2500 described species, details of their evolutionary history are still obscure. From a molecular point of view, tunicate phylogenetic

Identification and population genetic comparison of three ascidian species based on mtDNA sequences. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 Three ascidians—Ciona robusta, Ciona savignyi, and Styela clava were identified from the northeast region of China using morphological characteristics and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) as genetic marker. C. savignyi has particularly high level of haplotype diversity and nucleotide diversity varied moderately. Ciona spp. had a weak

Marine Fouling Characteristics of Biocomposites in a Coral Reef Ecosystem
Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 5, Issue 9, September 2021., 2021 Two biodegradable biocomposites based on starch–polydimethylsiloxane and soybean lecithin‐wax‐polyurethane are fabricated and evaluated as scaffolds for the growth of oceanic organisms. Such materials placed underwater on the Maldivian lagoon for six months show biodegradation and the growth of several organisms, including coral larvae.

Ascidians of the northern adriatic sea. aplousobranchia I [PDF]
Bolletino di zoologia, 1994 Abstract Four aplousobranch ascidians (Aplidium conicum, Polycitor adriaticus, Cystodytes dellechiajei, Eudistoma mucosum) from the northern Adriatic Sea are redescribed. Gonads and larvae of three of them are observed for the first time.
