Tunicate-associated bacteria show a great potential for the discovery of antimicrobial compounds [PDF]
, 2019 Tunicates (Ascidians, sea squirts) are marine protochordates, which live sedentary or sessile in colonial or solitary forms. These invertebrates have to protect themselves against predators and invaders.

A novel third complement component C3 gene of Ciona intestinalis expressed in the endoderm at the early developmental stages [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2013 The third complement component (C3) in ascidian was reported to function as an opsonin to enhance phagocytosis and as a chemotactic factor for phagocytes, indicating that ascidian C3 works in mesodermal cavity as a humoral factor like vertebrate C3s.

Pelagic Tunicate Grazing on Marine Microbes Revealed by Integrative Approaches [PDF]
, 2021 Marine microorganisms comprise a large fraction of ocean carbon and are central players in global biogeochemical cycling. Significant gaps remain, however, in our understanding of processes that determine the fate, distribution, and community structure ...
