Characterization of Radiotolerance Mechanisms in the Tardigrade Species Hypsibius Dujardini [PDF]
Tardigrades are microscopic invertebrates that are uniquely radio tolerant among animals, and while the mechanisms of radiotolerance in some species is becoming understood, such mechanisms in Hypsibius dujardini, the most radio tolerant fully aquatic ...

BMC Genomics, 2010 Background The phenomenon of desiccation tolerance, also called anhydrobiosis, involves the ability of an organism to survive the loss of almost all cellular water without sustaining irreversible damage.

Metabolite phosphatase from anhydrobiotic tardigrades
The FEBS JournalTerrestrial organisms have systems to escape from desiccation stresses. For example, tardigrades (also known as water bears) can survive severe dried and other extreme environments by anhydrobiosis. Although their extraordinary ability has enchanted people, little is known about the detailed molecular mechanisms of anhydrobiosis ...

A comparison between ultraviolet disinfection and copper alginate beads within a vortex bioreactor for the deactivation of bacteria in simulated waste streams with high levels of colour, humic acid and suspended solids. [PDF]
, 2014 We show in this study that the combination of a swirl flow reactor and an antimicrobial agent (in this case copper alginate beads) is a promising technique for the remediation of contaminated water in waste streams recalcitrant to UV-C treatment. This is

ZooKeys, 2016 The phylum Tardigrada was not recorded in Ireland until the Clare Island Survey of 1909–1911, with only rare subsequent reports on Irish tardigrade species. In recent decades, significant taxonomic revision has occurred within Tardigrada.

Ecdysteroid-dependent molting in tardigrades
Current BiologyAbstractMolting is a defining feature of the most species-rich animal taxa, the Ecdysozoa, including arthropods, tardigrades, nematodes, and others. In pancrustaceans, such as insects and decapods, molting is regulated by the ecdysteroid (Ecd) hormone and its downstream cascade.
