Genome-Wide Characterization of the Nuclear Receptor Gene Family in Macrostomum lignano Imply Its Evolutionary Diversification

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Nuclear receptors (NRs), a series of key transcription factors that are mostly activated by endogenous ligands or environmental xenobiotics, are reportedly good phylogenetic markers of animal genome evolution. As the early diverging class of bilaterians,

Polycladida (Platyhelminthes, Rhabditophora) from Cape Verde and related regions of Macaronesia

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2021
The systematics and distribution of the order Polycladida within the Macaronesian archipelagos are analysed. New species (Marcusia alba sp. nov., Prostheceraeus crisostomum sp. nov., Parviplana sodade sp. nov., Euplana claridade sp. nov., Stylochus salis

First Detection of Tetrodotoxins in the Cotylean Flatworm Prosthiostomum trilineatum

Marine Drugs, 2021
Several polyclad flatworm species are known to contain high levels of tetrodotoxin (TTX), but currently TTX-bearing flatworms seem to be restricted to specific Planocera lineages belonging to the suborder Acotylea.

Limnoterrestrial ‘Typhloplanidae’ (Rhabdocoela, Platyhelminthes), with the description of four new species and a new genus

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2022
Four new species of limnoterrestrial rhabdocoels (‘Typhloplanidae’ Graff, 1905) are described. One of these – Faunulus nielsi Houben, Proesmans & Artois gen. et sp. nov. – could not be unambiguously placed within an existing genus.

Epizoic acoelomorph flatworms impair zooplankton feeding by the scleractinian coral Galaxea fascicularis

Biology Open, 2012
Summary Many scleractinian coral species host epizoic acoelomorph flatworms, both in aquaculture and in situ. These symbiotic flatworms may impair coral growth and health through light-shading, mucus removal and disruption of heterotrophic feeding.

Accelerated microfluidic native chemical ligation at difficult amino acids toward cyclic peptides

Nature Communications, 2018
Flow-based peptide synthesis is a well-established method, yet difficult to combine with native chemical ligation (NCL), the go-to method for peptide cyclization. Here, the authors developed a microfluidic procedure for peptide cyclization within minutes,

Computational analysis of spliced leader trans-splicing in the regenerative flatworm Macrostomum lignano reveals its prevalence in conserved and stem cell related genes

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2021
In eukaryotes, trans-splicing is a process of nuclear pre-mRNA maturation where two different RNA molecules are joined together by the spliceosomal machinery utilizing mechanisms similar to cis-splicing.

Biological controls to manage Acropora-eating flatworms in coral aquaculture

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Coral aquaculture is expanding to supply the marine ornamental trade and active coral reef restoration. A common pest of Acropora corals is the Acropora-eating flatworm Prosthiostomum acroporae, which can cause colonial mortality at high infestation ...
