    Notes: Abstract Solitary radiolarians (Spongodrymus sp.) in laboratory cultures consumed 14C-labeled Amphidinium carteri and Coccolithus huxleyi more than Isochrysis galbana or Thalassiosira fluviatilis. The ratio of A. carteri protein consumed per unit time to the amount of Artemia sp. nauplius protein consumed (P/Z) was 6.7×10-2 indicating that these omnivorous radiolarians tend to consume more zooplankton protein than phytoplankton protein.

    Effects of symbiont elimination and reinfection on the life processes of the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer (1982)

    Notes: Abstract Laboratory experiments were carried out to determine the influence of symbiotic dinoflagellates (zooxanthellae) on the shell growth, longevity, and reproductive potential of Globigerinoides sacculifer (Brady). Its symbionts were eliminated by 72-h treatment with a photosynthetic inhibitor (DCMU). Symbiont elimination resulted in earlier gametogenesis (shortened survival time) and smaller shell sizes of G. sacculifer when compared to untreated foraminifera grown in sea water. Individuals kept in continuous darkness in untreated sea water also exhibited early gametogenesis, short survival times and small shell sizes. Aposymbiotic foraminifera formed on the average one or two chambers fewer per individual and their rate of shell size increase is slower than symbiont-bearing foraminifera. Symbionts were lysed within perialgal vacuoles of G. sacculifer when subjected to DCMU treatment or kept in continuous darkness. One DCMU-treated group was reinfected with symbionts from crushed G. sacculifer donors. Soon after reinfection, these foraminifera resumed a shell growth rate and exhibited developmental stages that were nearly equivalent to those of untreated individuals, as deduced from their shell size, frequency of sac-like chambers, rate of gametogenesis, and survival time. Our experiments indicate that the symbionts aid in calcification and that elimination of symbionts triggers gametogenesis, thus shortening the life span of the foraminiferal host. The results imply that shell growth in symbiont-bearing planktonic foraminifera occurs mainly in the euphotic zone and that they do not survive for long periods below it.

    Assimilation of symbiont-derived photosynthates in some solitary and colonial radiolaria (1983)

    Details

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Evidence for host assimilation of 14C-labeled symbiont photosynthates is presented from laboratory studies of the solitary radiolarian Thalassicolla nucleata and the colonial species Collosphaera huxleyi. The amount of 14C-labeled product assimilated in the central capsule of T. nucleata is directly related to the amount of 14C incorporated by the symbionts. In C. huxleyi central capsules, the percentage of 14C-label occurring in the water-soluble fraction is 38% and in the lipid-soluble fraction is 20%, the remainder being in insoluble products. Within the lipid-soluble fraction, a substantial percentage of the 14C activity is associated with the triglyceride and wax ester fractions. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the possible physiological role of symbionts in sustaining the host and stabilizing the host-symbiont association.

    Biochemical and fine structure evidence for cellular specialization in a large spumellarian radiolarian Thalassicolla nucleata (1983)

    Notes: Abstract Thalassicolla nucleata is a skeletonless, large spumellarian radiolarian (ca 3 mm diameter) occurring abundantly in the surface water of the Sargasso Sea. It has a complex cellular organization consisting of (1) a well-defined central capsule surrounded by a non-living capsular wall perforated by numerous cytoplasmic strands and (2) an extracapsulum containing a frothy layer of alveolate cytoplasm penetrated by numerous rhizopodia. Evidence is presented for physiological specialization complementing this structural compartmentalization. Acid acryl phosphatase activity (a digestive vacuole marker enzyme) is approximately 3 times greater in the extracapsulum compared to the intracapsulum; whereas, cytochrome oxidase (a respiratory marker enzyme) is approximately 1.5 times greater in the intracàpsulum compared to the extracapsulum. Furthermore, cytochemical and electron microscopic evidence indicates that the extracapsulum, containing large vacuoles and copious amounts of acid phosphatase reaction product, is a major site of catabolism; while the intracapsulum, containing the nucleus, numerous Golgi bodies, and a rich supply of mitochondria, is a substantial site of anabolism, lysosomal secretory activity, and food product storage. This marked level of cellular specialization in T. nucleata may enhance its biological efficiency and thus partially account for its abundance in oligotrophic environments.

    Antarctic amoebae adventures (2005)

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Ice, slush, sediment and water samples were collected from the Ross Sea, Antarctica and enriched with a variety of inorganic and organic nutrients. All cultures were maintained at an ambient temperature of 1°C, and amoebae were observed to occur in the slush, sediment and water enrichments. Amoebae were isolated into clonal or monocultures, and their characterization was accomplished using a combination of molecular and morphological methods. Full-length 18S ribosomal DNA sequence data indicated that seven of the isolates represented four different amoebae of the Vexilliferidae and Vannellidae families. Acquisition of 18S ribosomal sequences from the parasomes of two amoebae further confirmed their identification as Neoparamoeba species. Light microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and TEM observations were accomplished and further support the molecular data. To determine whether these amoebae represented psychrophilic strains, their temperature tolerances were tested. Cultures were inoculated at 1°C and the temperature was raised 1°C/day (to a total of 5°), and then held at that temperature for 6 days. This pattern was repeated in 5°-increments, up to 20°C. The cultures were observed frequently for death and possible cyst formation. Three (2 types of Vannellids) out of seven amoeba cultures survived up to 20°C. Whereas, the two different Vexilliferids died at a range of temperatures between 10°C and 20°C. These data indicate that amoebae found in the Antarctic are varied in their physiological adaptation for growth at cold temperatures.

    Fine Structure of Yellow-Brown Symbionts (Prymnesiida) in Solitary Radiolaria and Their Comparison with Similar Acantharian Symbionts (1983)

    Notes: Yellow-brown, algal symbionts varying in diameter from approximately 5 μ m to 20 μ m, associated with solitary Radiolaria with spongiose skeletons (i.e. Spongodrymus sp.), exhibit fine structural features resembling the Prymnesiida (botanical class, Prymnesiophyceae). A large central vacuole is surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm containing plastids with lamellae composed of three thylakoids and granular pyrenoids with internal tubules immersed between the thylakoids. The pyrenoids lack internal thylakoid membranes. The nucleus is surrounded by a dilated cisterna of the nuclear envelope that also encloses the plastids and gives rise to saccules of the endoplasmic reticulum. The algal symbionts appear coccoid; hence no flagella nor surface scales were observed. The symbiont fine structure is compared to similar yellow-brown symbionts associated with Acantharia. Thus far, three kinds of algal symbionts have been observed to be associated with solitary Radiolaria: dinoflagellate, prasinomonad, and this apparent prymnesiomonad.

    Light and Electron Microscopic Observations of Gametogenesis in Hastigerina pelagica (Foraminifera) (1978)

    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: SYNOPSIS. During gametogenesis mother individuals of Hastigerina pelagica (d'Orbigny) undergo significant morphological changes. Thirty h before gamete release, the cytoplasm changes from pale orange to bright red, possibly due to transport of stored lipids from the inner region to more peripheral parts of the cytoplasm. During the next 10 to 15 h the bubble capsule which surounds the calcareous shell is discarded. After all bubbles have disappeared, the individual sheds its spines by resorbing the spine bases close to the shell surface.A single mother nucleus divides into some hundreds of thousands of gamete nuclei within a span of ∼ 20 h. A bulge of cytoplasm is extruded from the aperture and increases in size during the next 5 to 10 h. This bulge consists of cytoplasmic strands in which gametes and spherical bodies are embedded. The gametes and spherical bodies mature and are released during the afternoon and early evening. The gametes have 2 unequal acronematic flagella. A previously undescribed structure in foraminiferal reproduction is the spherical body which consists of a large vacuole surrounded by a thin cytoplasmic layer in which several nuclei, various typical cell organelles and multiple flagella are present. The spherical bodies are believed to play a role as receptacles of waste material, possibly including residual digestive enzymes, thereby protecting the gametes from lysis during the reproductive process. Fusion of gametes and further development into the next generation have not been observed.

    Notes: SYNOPSIS. The activity and distribution of 7 enzymes in Ochromonas malhamensis were studied. Subcellular organelles were separated by centrifugation at 648,000 g min to precipitate the larger particles; the resulting supernatant was centrifuged at 5,560,000 g min to separate the microsomal fraction from the supernatant. Sixty-four percent of the cytochrome oxidase (1.9.3.1 ferrocytochrome c:oxygen oxidoreductase, 81% of the catalase (1.11.1.6 hydrogen-peroxide: hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase) and 70% of the urate oxidase (1.7.3.3 urate:oxygen oxidoreductase) activity was associated with the larger particles, altho only 20% of the total protein was found in this fraction. Three acid hydrolases, cathepsin (3.4.4.9 cathepsin C, acid phosphatase (3.1.3.2 orthophosphoric monoesterphosphohydrolase) and acid ribonuclease (2.7.7.17 ribonucleate nucleotido-2′-transferase) were found mostly in the supernate (50-60%, yet their latency and their similar subcellular distribution indicated the presence of lysosomes. After 2.5 hr centrifugation in a sucrose density gradient (ρ= 1.08–1.25, the acid hydrolases showed a broad distribution which differed greatly from cytochrome oxidase associated with mitochondria. Catalase, which could not be separated from cytochrome oxidase by centrifuging on this gradient, had a different distribution after centrifugation on a kinetic gradient. Urate oxidase had a similar distribution to catalase and both these enzymes were latent, indicating the presence of peroxisomes.
