  • The Biodiverse Rotifers (Rotifera: Eurotatoria) of the Floodplain Wetlands of Barak Valley of Assam, Northeast India
    Opusc. Zool. Budapest, 2019, 50(1): 03–15 The biodiverse rotifers (Rotifera: Eurotatoria) of the floodplain wetlands of Barak valley of Assam, Northeast India B.K. SHARMA*, S. SHARMA Bhushan Kumar Sharma & Sumita Sharma Department of Zoology, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong - 793 022, Meghalaya, India; *[email protected] (corresponding author) Abstract. The present analysis of alpha diversity of Rotifera of the floodplain wetlands of Barak valley, south Assam, northeast India (NEI) reveals 170 species, belonging to 39 genera and 19 families, with three species new to the Indian sub-region and two species new to Assam state. The rich and diverse rotifer assemblages comprise ~70%, ~57% and ~39% of total species of the Phylum known till date from Assam, NEI and India, respectively and thus affirm habitat and ecological heterogeneity of the Barak River floodplain wetlands. The elements of global biogeographic importance include one Australasian, eight Oriental, 10 Paleotropical, one Indo-Chinese, one cosmo (sub) tropical and four other species, and ~37% species merit regional distribution interest for India with ~13% exclusively reported from NEI. Lecanidae (~30%) and Brachionidae ≈ Lepadellidae (~32%) largely contribute to the rotifer richness; Trichocercidae > Testudinellidae are notable (~15%), and Notommatidae, Euchlanidae, Mytilinidae, Trichotriidae and Trochosphaeridae collectively form 16.5%. Lecane is the most speciose genus; Lepadella > Brachionus = Trichocerca include ~32% species, while Testudinella > Keratella deserve mention. Rotifera of the Barak floodplains exhibit the littoral-periphytonic nature, several small sized species and tropical character. Keywords. Barak River, biodiversity, composition, important taxa, richness, south Assam. INTRODUCTION river basin of south Assam (known as Barak valley) which is yet practically unexplored with otifera or Rotatoria, an integral component of regards to rotifer fauna (Sharma & Sharma R aquatic metazoans, have been recorded from 2014a).

  • Catalase in Brachionus Calyciflorus During the Aging Process
    Changes in Expression of Manganese Superoxide Dismutase, Copper and Zinc Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase in Brachionus calyciflorus during the Aging Process Jianghua Yang, Siming Dong, Qichen Jiang, Tengjiao Kuang, Wenting Huang, Jiaxin Yang* Jiangsu Province Key Laboratory for Biodiversity & Biotechnology and Jiangsu Province Key Laboratory for Aquatic Live Food, School of Biological Sciences, Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, People’s Republic of China Abstract Rotifers are useful model organisms for aging research, owing to their small body size (0.1–1 mm), short lifespan (6–14 days) and the relative easy in which aging and senescence phenotypes can be measured. Recent studies have shown that antioxidants can extend the lifespan of rotifers. In this paper, we analyzed changes in the mRNA expression level of genes encoding the antioxidants manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), copper and zinc SOD (CuZnSOD) and catalase (CAT) during rotifer aging to clarify the function of these enzymes in this process. We also investigated the effects of common life- prolonging methods [dietary restriction (DR) and resveratrol] on the mRNA expression level of these genes. The results showed that the mRNA expression level of MnSOD decreased with aging, whereas that of CuZnSOD increased. The mRNA expression of CAT did not change significantly. This suggests that the ability to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria reduces with aging, thus aggravating the damaging effect of ROS on the mitochondria. DR significantly increased the mRNA expression level of MnSOD, CuZnSOD and CAT, which might explain why DR is able to extend rotifer lifespan. Although resveratrol also increased the mRNA expression level of MnSOD, it had significant inhibitory effects on the mRNA expression of CuZnSOD and CAT.

  • Brachionus Rotifers As a Model for Investigating Dietary and Metabolic Regulators of Aging
    Nutrition and Healthy Aging 6 (2021) 1–15 1 DOI 10.3233/NHA-200104 IOS Press Review Brachionus rotifers as a model for investigating dietary and metabolic regulators of aging Kristin E. Gribble∗ Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA, USA Abstract. Because every species has unique attributes relevant to understanding specific aspects of aging, using a diversity of study systems and a comparative biology approach for aging research has the potential to lead to novel discoveries applicable to human health. Monogonont rotifers, a standard model for studies of aquatic ecology, evolutionary biology, and ecotoxicology, have also been used to study lifespan and healthspan for nearly a century. However, because much of this work has been published in the ecology and evolutionary biology literature, it may not be known to the biomedical research community. In this review, we provide an overview of Brachionus rotifers as a model to investigate nutritional and metabolic regulators of aging, with a focus on recent studies of dietary and metabolic pathway manipulation. Rotifers are microscopic, aquatic invertebrates with many advantages as a system for studying aging, including a two-week lifespan, easy laboratory culture, direct development without a larval stage, sexual and asexual reproduction, easy delivery of pharmaceuticals in liquid culture, and transparency allowing imaging of cellular morphology and processes. Rotifers have greater gene homology with humans than do established invertebrate models for aging, and thus rotifers may be used to investigate novel genetic mechanisms relevant to human lifespan and healthspan. The research on caloric restriction; dietary, pharmaceutical, and genetic interventions; and transcriptomics of aging using rotifers provide insights into the metabolic regulators of lifespan and health and suggest future directions for aging research.

Hidrobiológica 23 (1): 82-86. ABSTRACT Acute toxicity tests of five metals (aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, zinc) were performed to determine LC50 values in two species of freshwater rotifers: Asplanchna brigthwellii and its prey Brachionus calyciflorus. We conducted the tests using neonates less than 24 hr-old, each test consisted of five replicates, negative control and five metal concentrations (Al, Cd, Fe, Pb, Zn). We found that the prey rotifer B. calyciflorus was more sensitive to Al, Cd, Pb and Fe than the predator rotifer A. brightwellii. For both rotifers Cd was the most toxic of the five metals. It was established that the strain of B. ca- lyciflorus studied is sensitive when compared with other B. calyciflorus strains and other species and genera of the family Brachionidae. In the other hand, LC50 values of A. brigthwellii are compared with rotifer and copepod predators. Key words: Acute toxicity, aquatic toxicology, LC50, metal toxicity, trophic interactions. RESUMEN Se realizaron pruebas de toxicidad aguda con cinco metales (aluminio, cadmio, hierro, plomo, zinc) para determinar los valores CL50 en dos especies de rotíferos dulceacuícolas: Asplanchna brigthwellii y su presa Brachionus calyci- florus.

The biodiverse Rotifera of northeast India (NEI) revealed 303 species belonging to 53 genera and 24 families; ~96% of these species examined from seven states of NEI affirm the rotifer heterogeneity of our plankton and semi-plank- ton collections. This study documents the record number of species of global and regional biogeographic interest, high- lights affinity with Southeast Asian and Australian faunas, and indicates notable heterogeneity in richness and composition amongst the seven northeastern states. The speciose rotifers of small lentic biotopes of Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur and Tripura, the floodplain lakes beels( ) and small wetlands (dobas and dubies) of the Brahmaputra and the Barak floodplains of Assam, and the floodplain lakes (pats) of Manipur are noteworthy. Deepor Beel and Loktak Lake (two Ramsar sites) are the globally rich rotifer `hotspots’. Interesting assemblages per sample of 80+ species in certain beels and pats, and up to 50 species in dobas and dubies depict the `Rotifera paradox’.

The monogonont genus Brachionus is widely distributed at a global scale, and a few of its species are commonly used as ecological and evolutionary models to address questions related to aquatic ecology, cryptic speciation, evolutionary ecology, the evolution of sex, and ecotoxicology. With the importance of Brachionus species in many areas of research, it is remarkable that the genome has not been characterized. This study aims to address this lacuna by presenting, for the first time, the whole genome assembly of the freshwater species Brachionus calyciflorus.

  • Investigation of a Rotifer (Brachionus Calyciflorus) - Green Alga (Scenedesmus Pectinatus) Interaction Under Non- and Nutrient-Limi- Ted Conditions
    Ann. Limnol. - Int. J. Lim. 2006, 42 (1), 9-17 Investigation of a rotifer (Brachionus calyciflorus) - green alga (Scenedesmus pectinatus) interaction under non- and nutrient-limi- ted conditions M. Lürling Aquatic Ecology & Water Quality Management, Department of Environmental Sciences, Wageningen University, PO Box 8080, NL-6700DD Wageningen, The Netherlands Two-day life cycle tests with the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus were run to study the nutritional quality effects to rotifers of Scenedesmus pectinatus grown under non-limiting, nitrogen limiting and phosphorus limiting conditions and the feedback of the rotifers on the food algae. Under nutrient-limited conditions of its algal food Brachionus production was depressed, animals pro- duced fewer eggs and were smaller sized. Clearance rates of Brachionus offered non-nutrient-limited and nutrient-limited food were similar. The number of cells per colony was similar for S. pectinatus under nitrogen limited and phosphorus limited condi- tions both in the absence and presence of Brachionus. Cell volumes of phosphorus limited S. pectinatus were larger than those of nitrogen limited cells. The most dramatic response of the food alga S. pectinatus was observed in non-nutrient-limited condi- tions: a strong size enlargement occurred only in the presence of Brachionus. This was caused by a higher share of eight-celled colonies and larger individual cell volumes in the presence of rotifers than in their absence. S. pectinatus might gain an advan- tage of becoming larger in moving out of the feeding window of its enemy, but nutrient limited conditions might undermine the effectiveness of such reaction. Keywords : clearance rate, food quality, grazing, induced defence, morphology, plankton interactions Introduction constraints on growth, but also food quality constraints.

Bhandarkar* Department of Zoology, Manoharbhai Patel College of Arts and Commerce, Deori. Dist. Gondia 441 901 MH, India *Corresponding author A B S T R A C T K e y w o r d s The species diversity of rotifers is one of the most important biotic components of the freshwater ecosystem. Biological and ecological adaptation and rich species Eutrophication, diversity of Rotifers is considered as an important for health and homeostasis of aquatic Rotifer, ecosystems. The present work was carried out to study on the cultural Brachionus, eutrophication in lentic ecosystem of Dhukeshwari Temple Pond Deori of Gondia diversity, district. This pond is under anthropogenic pressure. During the present study, 46 Dhukeshwari species of rotifers belonging to 15 families from 3 orders were recorded. In the Temple Pond present investigation, the role of Rotifers in determination of the trophic status of pond is discussed. Introduction Eutrophication is a process characterized by limnosaprobity (Sladecek, 1983). The an increase in the aquatic system importance of zooplankton, especially, productivity, which causes profound Rotifers have immense role on account of changes in the structure of its communities. their heterotrophic nature; which helps in the Owing to the high environmental sensitivity subsequent transfer of the bound energy at the of planktonic species, the study of their primary level thus forming a basic link in the communities can indicate the deterioration food chain for higher aquatic animals; of the environment (Gazonato Neto et al., particularly fish.
