They capture light energy through photosynthesis and convert low energy inorganic compounds (carbon dioxide and water) into high energy complex organic compounds, such as carbohydrates and fats. Chromochloris zofingiensis is a unicellular microalga currently under intensive research, due to its ability to produce high value pharmaceutical and nutritional pigments. Understanding its growth characteristics is crucial for the establishment of an efficient commercial production of those pigments from this alga. Thus, we have developed a method to stain the nucleus of the alga which enabled us to follow the division pattern under commonly used cultivation methods. We found that C. zofingiensis cells conduct consecutive Citation: Koren, I.; Boussiba, S.; DNA synthesis and divisions of the nucleus to produce 8 or 16 nuclei before it divides into 8 or Khozin-Goldberg, I.; Zarka, A. 16 daughter cells, respectively.

  • Cell Life Cycle and Reproduction the Cell Cycle (Cell-Division Cycle), Is a Series of Events That Take Place in a Cell Leading to Its Division and Duplication
    Cell Life Cycle and Reproduction The cell cycle (cell-division cycle), is a series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication. The main phases of the cell cycle are interphase, nuclear division, and cytokinesis. Cell division produces two daughter cells. In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic), the cell cycle occurs via binary fission. Interphase Gap1(G1)- Cells increase in size. The G1checkpointcontrol mechanism ensures that everything is ready for DNA synthesis. Synthesis(S)- DNA replication occurs during this phase. DNA Replication The process in which DNA makes a duplicate copy of itself. Semiconservative Replication The process in which the DNA molecule uncoils and separates into two strands. Each original strand becomes a template on which a new strand is constructed, resulting in two DNA molecules identical to the original DNA molecule. Gap 2(G2)- The cell continues to grow. The G2checkpointcontrol mechanism ensures that everything is ready to enter the M (mitosis) phase and divide. Mitotic(M) refers to the division of the nucleus. Cell growth stops at this stage and cellular energy is focused on the orderly division into daughter cells. A checkpoint in the middle of mitosis (Metaphase Checkpoint) ensures that the cell is ready to complete cell division. The final event is cytokinesis, in which the cytoplasm divides and the single parent cell splits into two daughter cells. Reproduction Cellular reproduction is a process by which cells duplicate their contents and then divide to yield multiple cells with similar, if not duplicate, contents. Mitosis Mitosis- nuclear division resulting in the production of two somatic cells having the same genetic complement (genetically identical) as the original cell.

  • Sea Anemone Anthothoe Albocincta
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 156: 121-13( Published September 25 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Asexual reproduction and genetic determination of colour patterns within populations of the subtidal sea anemone Anthothoe albocincta Martin R. Billingham*, David J. Ayre Department of Biological Sciences and Australian Flora and Fauna Research Centre, University of Wollongong, Wollongong, New South Wales 2522, Australia ABSTRACT: Southeastern Australian populations of the dioecious, subtidal sea anemone Anthothoe albocincta display considerable spatial variation in the colour patterns of the constituent polyps, and the most visually striking feature of local populations are sets of dense aggregations each comprised of polyps with a single colour pattern. We used a combination of genetic data, observations and manipu- lative experiments to infer that A. albocincta generates these monomorphic aggregations via asexual reproduction and that asexual reproduction plays the major role in the maintenance of established pop- ulation~.Allozyme electrophoresis of 2 to 5 polyps from each of 20 mapped aggregations (in 2 popula- tion~)revealed that in 18 cases (9OU4~)all polyps were electrophoretically identical and always distinct from differently coloured polyps tdken from each of 26 adjacent aggregations. Furthermore, the genetlc structure of each of 13 populations separated by up to 930 km was consistent with the predicted effects of localised asexual recruitment. We detected 16 heterozygote excesses and 11 heterozygote def~cits(p < 0.05) in a total of 66 tests for departures from Hardy-Weinberg equilibria. Moreover, each population contained significantly less [p < 0.005) multi-locus genotypic diversity (G,) than was expected for a randomly mating population (G,) (mean Go:G, = 0.30) and contained relatively few unique 7-locus genotypes.

Eimeria and Isospora Intestinal The life cycles are similar Infections may be asymptomatic or very pathogenic Coccidia are microscopic parasites detectable on routine fecal tests. Coccidia infection causes a watery diarrhea which is sometimes bloody and can even be a life-threatening problem. The coccidia have a complex life cycle that includes 3 sequential stages: endogenous merogony and gamogony followed by sporogony which is exogenous. This complexity resulted in various stages of the same coccidian species being described as different species, or even placed in different higher taxa (genera to suborders), before their basic life history was understood. The endogenous (intracellular) developmental stages in a coccidian life cycle are unknown in many / most described species and may be impossible to find or identify under field conditions, so these characters have little present taxonomic value. The exogenous stage (oocyst), upon which the majority of all species descriptions are based, is highly resistant to many fixative techniques and, to date, no satisfactory method is known to permanently preserve all structural features. As a result, most species are described solely on measurements of different structures in the sporulated oocyst, some additional key qualitative features, and line drawings. Eimeriidae are homoxenous (direct life cycle), with merogony, gamogony and the formation of oocysts occurring within the same host.
