Absence of Ca2+-induced mitochondrial permeability transition but presence of bongkrekate-sensitive nucleotide exchange in C. crangon and P. serratus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Mitochondria from the embryos of brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) do not undergo Ca(2+)-induced permeability transition in the presence of a profound Ca(2+) uptake capacity. Furthermore, this crustacean is the only organism known to exhibit bongkrekate-

Alternative Biotest on Artemia franciscana

, 2012
Recent toxicology, in accordance with recommendations from the European Council, has demanded decrease in the number of vertebrates used in toxicology testing and their partial replacement with invertebrate animals, plants or even organ, tissue, or cell cultures.

Biochemical studies on sphingolipids of Artemia franciscana: complex neutral glycosphingolipids [PDF]

Glycoconjugate Journal, 2012
Brine shrimp are primitive crustacean arthropodal model organisms, second to daphnia, which can survive in high-salinity environments. Their oviposited cysts, cuticle-covered diapausing eggs, are highly resistant to dryness. To elucidate specialties of brine shrimp, this study characterized glycosphingolipids, which are signal transduction-associated ...

The total and mitochondrial lipidome of Artemia franciscana encysted embryos [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2016
Encysted embryos (cysts) of the crustacean Artemia franciscana exhibit enormous tolerance to adverse conditions encompassing high doses of radiation, years of anoxia, desiccation and extreme salinity. So far, several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to this extremophilia, however, none were sought in the lipid profile of the cysts.

ARTEMIA BIOENCAPSULATION I. EFFECT OF PARTICLE SIZES ON THE FILTERING BEHAVIOR OF ARTEMIA FRANCISCANA [PDF]

Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2001
Abstract Artemia is not believed to be a selective filter-feeding organism; however, evidence of an influence of the size of the nutrient particles on the filtration process of this crustacean is presented. To evaluate the influence of the size of food on the filtration process, assays with latex particles and with starch granules were made. A relation

Morphometric characteristics and quality of Artemia sp. cysts (Crustacea: Anostraca), living in sulphated waters in Coahuila, Mexico

Ciencias Marinas, 1997
The present work deals with a new population of Artemia in the Mexican Republic, located in an ecosystem of athalassohaline waters, rich in sulphate, magnesium and sodium ions. The zone of Cuatro Ciénegas in the state of Coahuila has been widely studied;

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.
