Cultivable microbiota associated with Aurelia aurita and Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
The associated microbiota of marine invertebrates plays an important role to the host in relation to fitness, health, and homeostasis. Cooperative and competitive interactions between bacteria, due to release of, for example, antibacterial substances and

Investigating the relationship between the comb jellyfish, Mnemiopsis leidyi, and the abundance of pathogenic Vibrio spp. and harmful algae species in the Maryland Coastal Bays [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum
Ctenophores (Mnemiopsis leidyi) release large amounts of nutrients and organic matter that stimulate microbial growth and alter planktonic community composition. We investigated the distribution and abundance of M.

Reproductive success of inbred strain MV31 of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in a self-sustaining inland laboratory culture system [PDF]

Heliyon
Ctenophores are an attractive phylogenetic lineage for studying animal evolution due to their early divergence from other metazoans. Among Ctenophora, Mnemiopsis leidyi is a model system for developmental, cellular, molecular genetic, and evolutionary ...

β-Catenin localization in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi suggests an ancestral role in cell adhesion and nuclear function. [PDF]

Dev Dyn
Abstract Background The emergence of multicellularity in animals marks a pivotal evolutionary event, which was likely enabled by molecular innovations in the way cells adhere and communicate with one another. β‐Catenin is significant to this transition due to its dual role as both a structural component in the cadherin–catenin complex and as a ...

The sex lives of ctenophores: the influence of light, body size, and self-fertilization on the reproductive output of the sea walnut, Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Ctenophores (comb jellies) are emerging as important animals for investigating fundamental questions across numerous branches of biology (e.g., evodevo, neuroscience and biogeography).

An AI-generated proteome-scale dataset of predicted protein structures for the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]

Proteomics
Abstract This Dataset Brief describes the computational prediction of protein structures for the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. Here, we report the proteome‐scale generation of 15,333 protein structure predictions using AlphaFold, as well as an updated implementation of publicly available search, manipulation, and visualization tools for these protein ...

Horizontally transferred genes in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has had major impacts on the biology of a wide range of organisms from antibiotic resistance in bacteria to adaptations to herbivory in arthropods. A growing body of literature shows that HGT between non-animals and animals

Genomic signatures of speciation and adaptation in the ctenophore Mnemiopsis [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Understanding how populations diverge is one of the most compelling questions in evolutionary biology but our grasp on the genomic mechanisms underpinning divergence is limited to a handful of species.

Evidence of diel vertical migration in Mnemiopsis leidyi. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The vertical distribution and migration of plankton organisms may have a large impact on their horizontal dispersal and distribution, and consequently on trophic interactions.

Stimulated bacterioplankton growth and selection for certain bacterial taxa in the vicinity of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Episodic blooms of voracious gelatinous zooplankton, such as the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, affect pools of inorganic nutrients and dissolved organic carbon by intensive grazing activities and mucus release.
