Valorization of outer tunic of the marine filter feeder Ciona intestinalis towards the production of second-generation biofuel and prebiotic oligosaccharides [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background One of the sustainable development goals focuses on the biomass-based production as a replacement for fossil-based commodities. A novel feedstock with vast potentials is tunicate biomass, which can be pretreated and fermented in a similar way ...

The Gut of Geographically Disparate Ciona intestinalis Harbors a Core Microbiota

PLoS ONE, 2014
It is now widely understood that all animals engage in complex interactions with bacteria (or microbes) throughout their various life stages. This ancient exchange can involve cooperation and has resulted in a wide range of evolved host-microbial ...

Comparing the sensitivity of two cogeneric ascidian species to two plastic additives: Bisphenol A and the flame retardant tris(chloro-propyl)phosphate

The European Zoological Journal, 2022
Although sensitivity to pollutants is well known to be species specific, closely related species are often assumed to respond similarly to them. We tested this assumption, comparing the sensitivity of Ciona intestinalis and Ciona robusta to two common ...

Omics Studies for the Identification of Ascidian Peptides, Cognate Receptors, and Their Relevant Roles in Ovarian Follicular Development

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Omics studies contribute to the elucidation of genomes and profiles of gene expression. In the ascidian Ciona intestinalis Type A (Ciona robusta), mass spectrometry (MS)-based peptidomic studies have detected numerous Ciona-specific (nonhomologous ...

Fertilization of Ascidians: Gamete Interaction, Self/Nonself Recognition and Sperm Penetration of Egg Coat

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Fertilization is one of the most important events in living organisms to generate a new life with a mixed genetic background. To achieve successful fertilization, sperm and eggs must undergo complex processes in a sequential order.

Voltage-sensing phosphatase (Vsp) regulates endocytosis-dependent nutrient absorption in chordate enterocytes

Communications Biology, 2022
The physiological role of Vsp in zebrafish is assessed, revealing Vsp expression in the mid-intestine for dietary protein absorption. A comparative study on marine invertebrate Ciona intestinalis suggests conservation of Vsp function in the GI tract.

Natural variation of model mutant phenotypes in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

, 2008
The study of ascidians (Chordata, Tunicata) has made a considerable contribution to our understanding of the origin and evolution of basal chordates. To provide further information to support forward genetics in Ciona intestinalis, we used a combination ...

Evidence for dynamic and multiple roles for huntingtin in Ciona intestinalis [PDF]

, 2013
Although mutations in the huntingtin gene (HTT) due to poly-Q expansion cause neuropathology in humans (Huntington’s disease; HD), the normal function(s) of the gene and its protein (HTT) remain obscure.

Monoaminergic modulation of photoreception in ascidian:evidence for a proto-hypothalamo-retinal territory [PDF]

, 2012
The retina of craniates/vertebrates has been proposed to derive from a photoreceptor prosencephalic territory in ancestral chordates, but the evolutionary origin of the different cell types making the retina is disputed.
