Riboflavin as a Source of Autofluorescence in Eisenia fetida Coelomocytes

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, 2006
ABSTRACTImmunocompetent cells of earthworms (coelomocytes) contain adherent amoebocytes and large eleocytes (chloragocytes); the latter are filled with numerous granules. We have previously shown that eleocytes of several (but not all) earthworm species exhibit strong autofluorescence detectable by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry.

A Comparative Study on Effects of Three Butyric Acid‐Producing Additives on the Growth Performance, Non‐specific Immunity, and Intestinal Microbiota of the Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

open access: yesAquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The providers of butyric acid, Clostridium butyricum (CB), sodium butyrate (SB), and tributyrin (TB), have been extensively studied as aquafeed additives in recent years. However, no comparative study has been reported on the probiotic effects of CB, SB, and TB as feed additives on sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus).

A Farnesyl Pyrophosphate Synthase from Apostichopus japonicus Is Involved in Saponin Biosynthesis and Regulated by Immune Processes

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Apostichopus japonicus is one of the few animals that can synthesize saponins. Present understanding of saponin biosynthesis is often limited to genome analysis, leaving the precise mechanism still unclear. This study examined the potential role of a gene annotated as farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPS) in saponin biosynthesis of A. japonicus.

The Conserved VPS-50 Protein Functions in Dense-Core Vesicle Maturation and Acidification and Controls Animal Behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The modification of behavior in response to experience is crucial for animals to adapt to environmental changes. Although factors such as neuropeptides and hormones are known to function in the switch between alternative behavioral states, the mechanisms

NEW ENCHYTRAEID SPECIES (OLIGOCHAETA: ENCHYTRAEIDAE) FROM THE DANUBE–DRÁVA NATIONAL PARK [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The enchytraeid fauna of the Dráva Floodplain (Bükkhát Forest Reserve, alder swamp and meadows at Kisszentmárton, and Barcs Nature Conservation Area belonging to the Danube–Dráva National Park, Hungary) was investigated for the first time.

Internal lectin binding patterns in the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans, Panagrolaimus superbus and Acrobeloides maximus [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Les modalités de liaison des lectines sont étudiées chez trois nématodes rhabditides libres - #Caenorhabditis elegans$, #Panagrolaimus superbus$ et #Acrobeloides maximus$ - en utilisant dix lectines différentes.

Multigenome DNA sequence conservation identifies Hox cis-regulatory elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
To learn how well ungapped sequence comparisons of multiple species can predict cis-regulatory elements in Caenorhabditis elegans, we made such predictions across the large, complex ceh-13/lin-39 locus and tested them transgenically. We also examined how
