α-Tocopherol increases lifespan in the rotifer Philodina

Experimental Gerontology, 1980
Abstract The addition of α-tocopherol (vitamin E) to the culture medium at a concentration of 10 −4 was found to significantly extend the average lifespan of the rotifer Philodina . The oily α-tocopherol was solubilized in Tween-80 so that it would dissolve in the aqueous culture medium.

Functional morphology of the muscles in Philodina sp. (Rotifera: Bdelloidea)

Hydrobiologia, 2000
Whole-mounts of Philodina sp., a bdelloid rotifer, were stained with fluorescent-labeled phalloidin to visualize the musculature. Several different muscle types were identified including incomplete circular bands, coronal retractors and foot retractors.

Enhanced flocculation of two bioflocculation-producing bacteria by secretion of Philodina erythrophthalma

Water Research, 2017
Bdelloid rotifer are reported to play a promoting role in microbial aggregation and floc formation in activated sludge systems; however, the mechanisms involved in this process are unclear. This study explores the effect of a rotifer secretion (RS) from the species Philodina erythrophthalma on the flocculation and growth of two bioflocculation ...

An Ultrastructural Approach to Feeding Behaviour in Philodina Roseola and Brachionus Calyciflorus (Rotifers) II. The Oesophagus

Hydrobiologia, 1980
The structure situated in the lumen of the buccal tube, called here ‘buccal velum’, separates the buccal space from the pharyngeal space. The velum is a supple membrane-pile. Its structure resembles that of a fish-trap. The food, once ingested, cannot go back into the buccal lumen.

Rotifer neuropharmacology—I. cholinergic drug effects on oviposition of Philodina acuticornis (Rotifera, Aschelminthes)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1986
The presence of acetylcholine in the culture medium was found to result in egg retention in the bdelloid rotifer Philodina acuticornis in a dose-dependent fashion, with no other discernible physiological effect. When six to eight eggs accumulate, the animals distend, burst and die. No other cholinergic agonist has been shown to produce a similar effect.
