Abstract The globally distributed ciliate Balanion planctonicum is a primary consumer of phytoplankton spring blooms. Due to its small size (~20 μm), identification and quantification by molecular tools is preferable as an alternative to the laborious counting of specimen in quantitative protargol stains. However, previous sequencing of the 18S rDNA V9

Hepato‐Renal Damage of Hyaluronic Acid on the African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus)
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a versatile polysaccharide with a broad range of biological, pharmacological, and therapeutic applications due to its anti‐inflammatory properties, low immunogenicity, natural breakdown, compatibility with live tissue, and capacity to promote cell growth and specialization.

Contractile Vacuole Complex—Its Expanding Protein Inventory [PDF]
The contractile vacuole complex (CVC) of some protists serves for the osmotic equilibration of water and ions, notably Ca(2+), by chemiosmotic exploitation of a H(+) gradient generated by the organelle-resident V-type H(+)-ATPase. Ca(2+) is mostly extruded, but there is also some reflux into the cytosol via Ca(2+)-release channels.
