Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2015 Ciona intestinalis is considered a widespread and easily recognizable tunicate, the sister group of vertebrates. In recent years, molecular studies suggested that C.

Isolation and Characterization of a Shewanella Phage-Host System from the Gut of the Tunicate, Ciona intestinalis. [PDF]
Viruses, 2017 Outnumbering all other biological entities on earth, bacteriophages (phages) play critical roles in structuring microbial communities through bacterial infection and subsequent lysis, as well as through horizontal gene transfer.

Embryo Microinjection and Electroporation in the Chordate Ciona intestinalis. [PDF]
J Vis Exp, 2016 Simple model organisms are instrumental for in vivo studies of developmental and cellular differentiation processes. Currently, the evolutionary distance to man of conventional invertebrate model systems and the complexity of genomes in vertebrates are ...

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 ...

Generation of Germ-Free Ciona intestinalis for Studies of Gut-Microbe Interactions. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2016 Microbes associate with animal hosts, often providing shelter in a nutrient-rich environment. The gut, however, can be a harsh environment with members of the microbiome settling in distinct niches resulting in more stable, adherent biofilms.

Marine Drugs, 2015 The anti-proliferative effects of diatoms, described for the first time in copepods, have also been demonstrated in benthic invertebrates such as polychaetes, sea urchins and tunicates.

Fibronectin contributes to notochord intercalation in the invertebrate chordate, Ciona intestinalis. [PDF]
Evodevo, 2016 Genomic analysis has upended chordate phylogeny, placing the tunicates as the sister group to the vertebrates. This taxonomic rearrangement raises questions about the emergence of a tunicate/vertebrate ancestor.

Ciona intestinalis as a model for cardiac development [PDF]
Seminars in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2007 The primitive chordate Ciona intestinalis has emerged as a significant model system for the study of heart development. The Ciona embryo employs a conserved heart gene network in the context of extremely low cell numbers and reduced genetic redundancy.

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 ...
