The Group 3 LEA proteins of Artemia franciscana for cryopreservation
Cryobiology, 2022Late embryogenesis-abundant (LEA) proteins are protective proteins that are enriched in the late stage of seed embryo development. LEA proteins play an important role in resisting abiotic stresses such as low temperature and drought. Artemia franciscana is the only animal known to express three different groups of LEA proteins in its life cycle, and ...

Interactions of Bisphenol A with Artemia franciscana and the ameliorative effect of probiotics
Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2023In the present study, the bidirectional interactions of Artemia franciscana with BPA, administered either alone or following treatment with the probiotics Bacillus subtilis, Lactococcus lactis or Lactobacillus plantarum, were evaluated. A 24 h exposure to BPA below LC50 induced oxidative stress to Artemia, indicated by diminished activity of superoxide

Oxidative Stress and Neurotoxicity of Cadmium and Zinc on Artemia franciscana
Biological Trace Element Research, 2022Despite not being redox-active metals, Cd and Zn can disrupt cellular redox homeostasis by acting pro-oxidatively. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of exposure to Zn (14 and 72 mg/L) and Cd (7.7 and 77 mg/L) for 24 and 48 h on oxidative and antioxidative parameters and the activity of glutathione-S-transferase in Artemia franciscana ...

Study on the toxicokinetics of Ni(II) on Artemia franciscana
AbstractThe toxicokinetic study was employed to evaluate the potential of an organism for Ni(II) bioaccumulation, and it was ensured using a bicompartmental model. The effect of Ni(II) concentration on kinetics parameter in Artemia franciscana were determined.

The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the crustacean Artemia franciscana
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1994The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana has been determined. It extends the present knowledge of mitochondrial genomes to the crustacean class and supplies molecular markers for future comparative studies in this large branch of the arthropod phylum.

Oxygen bioavailability and haemoglobins in the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana
Marine Biology, 1992Bioavailability of oxygen for the saline-water invertebrate Artemia franciscana was studied, since both oxygen concentration and oxygen diffusion rate change with salinity. Total haemoglobin concentration and the relative contribution of each of three haemoglobins was measured in specimens acclimated to different salinities and oxygen concentrations ...

The pre‐ and postembryonic development of Artemia franciscana (Anostraca: Artemiidae)
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023AbstractArtemia franciscana is a universal live feed in aquaculture, and it has been reported as an invasive species in many Asian hypersaline ecosystems. The present observations illustrated the pre‐ and postembryonic development stages of the A. franciscana population confined to the Indian saltern of Kelambakkam.

Physiological and histological effects of cadmium, lead, and combined on Artemia franciscana
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021This study analyzed the effects of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) on growth, sexual couples, and histological structures of Artemia franciscana exposed to individual concentrations of these metals and combined. No histological effects were observed at tissue level in digestive, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems (i.e., necrosis, loss of regular
