This species shows three distinct zooid types during summer: the R (rib), I (intermediate), and S (shield) types. Evidence indicates that zooids commit to development as a given type, rather than transform from one type to another with age. Differences in the frontal spinocyst among the types appear to be mediated by a simple developmental mechanism, acceleration or retardation in the production of lateral costal fusions as the costae elongate during ontogeny. Colonies of all three types were identical, or nearly so, in partial nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial COI gene (555–631 bp), suggesting that they represent a single species.

However, in the Levantine Basin, bryozoan diversity has not yet been adequately documented. This report presents the first systematic and most comprehensive study of bryozoans sampled in Cyprus during census surveys from 2011 to 2018. The specimens were col- lected between 9 and ~620 m depth from several habitat types (mainly soft-bottom environments but also hard natural/artificial substrata, ancient shipwrecks, a marine cave, and deep-water coral habitats) around the island by means of bottom trawls, remote- ly operated vehicles, and scuba diving. The surveys produced a total of 91 species, 26 of which (=28%) are new records for the Levantine Basin, and 10 (=11%) are probably new to science. Our results thus show that the diversity of bryozoans in the eastern Mediterranean Sea is still significantly underestimated. Keywords: Biodiversity; Bryozoa; Cyprus; Levantine; Mediterranean Sea.

FOREWORD Bryozoansare predominantly marine, invertebrate animals whose curious and often attractive forms have long excited the interest of naturalists. In past times they were regarded as plants, and the plant- !ike appearance of some species was later formalized in the term "zoophyte", which also embraced the hydroids and a few other enigmatic animal groups. As "corallines" they were considered to be close to the Cnidaria, while "moss animals" neatly described the appearance of a feeding colony. Establishing their animal nature did not resolve the question of systematic affinity. It is only comparatively recently that Bryozoa have been accepted as a phylum in their own right, although an early view of them as for- ming a single phylogenetic unit, the Lophophorata, with the sessile, filter-feeding brachiopods and pho- ronids, still persists.

  • Role of Lipids and Fatty Acids in Stress Tolerance in Cyanobacteria
    Acta Protozool. (2002) 41: 297 - 308 Review Article Role of Lipids and Fatty Acids in Stress Tolerance in Cyanobacteria Suresh C. SINGH, Rajeshwar P. SINHA and Donat-P. HÄDER Institut für Botanik und Pharmazeutische Biologie, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen, Germany Summary. Lipids are the most effective source of storage energy, function as insulators of delicate internal organs and hormones and play an important role as the structural constituents of most of the cellular membranes. They also have a vital role in tolerance to several physiological stressors in a variety of organisms including cyanobacteria. The mechanism of desiccation tolerance relies on phospholipid bilayers which are stabilized during water stress by sugars, especially by trehalose. Unsaturation of fatty acids also counteracts water or salt stress. Hydrogen atoms adjacent to olefinic bonds are susceptible to oxidative attack. Lipids are rich in these bonds and are a primary target for oxidative reactions. Lipid oxidation is problematic as enzymes do not control many oxidative chemical reactions and some of the products of the attack are highly reactive species that modify proteins and DNA. This review deals with the role of lipids and fatty acids in stress tolerance in cyanobacteria. Key words: cyanobacteria, desiccation, fatty acids, lipids, salinity, temperature stress. INTRODUCTION The cyanobacteria such as Spirulina and Nostoc have been used as a source of protein and vitamin for Cyanobacteria are gram-negative photoautotrophic humans and animals (Ciferri 1983, Kay 1991, Gao 1998, prokaryotes having ´higher plant-type‘ oxygenic photo- Takenaka et al. 1998). Spirulina has an unusually high synthesis (Stewart 1980, Sinha and Häder 1996a).

WOOD Abstract: Bryozoans are found in a wide variety of aquatic habitats. For most species proper collection requires their removal along with the substratum to which they are attached. Specimens are narcotized in menthol or chloral hydrate, then fixed and preserved in 70 % ethanol. Statoblast valves may be se- parated with hot KOH for examination with light microscopy. For laboratory culture the colonies are grown upside down in water conditioned by the presence of fish. In situ culturing can be achieved on artificial substrata. Standard techniques are used for histological work and scanning electron microsco- py. Practical methods for chromosome and molecular studies also are available. Several good reference books review the biology of freshwater bryozoans and offer identification keys. Key words: Bryozoa, Phylactolaemata, culturing, methods.

S’han descobert compostos molt útils per l’estudi del càncer. En aquest treball de final de grau es determinen els inventaris de dos hàbitats diferents, la praderia de Posidonia oceanica i el litoral rocós. S’estudia l’efecte del factor profunditat sobre l’abundància d’individus i la riquesa d’espècies de les praderies de posidònia. Recentment s’han fet estudis taxonòmics que han tergiversat la classificació taxonòmica, re-anomenat espècies i descobert noves espècies d’heterobranquis, degut al seu interès en biomedicina. La distribució dels heterobranquis està lligada al seu aliment i conseqüentment al seu hàbitat. Les praderies de posidònia són conegudes per molts estudis per la seva gran capacitat d’oferir hàbitat a moltes espècies tant de fauna bentònica i nectònica com de flora. Han estat incloses dins la directiva hàbitats com a hàbitat d’interès i estan protegides. El litoral rocós és un hàbitat amb una disponibilitat de nutrients i llum que el fa ideal per colònies de porífers, cnidaris, algues i tunicats. El factor intensitat de llum en ecologia marina està relacionat amb la profunditat, no obstant, aquest factor no és significatiu per les praderies de posidònia pel que fa a abundància i riquesa d’heterobranquis.

  • Marine Litter As Habitat and Dispersal Vector
    Chapter 6 Marine Litter as Habitat and Dispersal Vector Tim Kiessling, Lars Gutow and Martin Thiel Abstract Floating anthropogenic litter provides habitat for a diverse community of marine organisms. A total of 387 taxa, including pro- and eukaryotic micro- organisms, seaweeds and invertebrates, have been found rafting on floating litter in all major oceanic regions. Among the invertebrates, species of bryozoans, crus- taceans, molluscs and cnidarians are most frequently reported as rafters on marine litter. Micro-organisms are also ubiquitous on marine litter although the compo- sition of the microbial community seems to depend on specific substratum char- acteristics such as the polymer type of floating plastic items. Sessile suspension feeders are particularly well-adapted to the limited autochthonous food resources on artificial floating substrata and an extended planktonic larval development seems to facilitate colonization of floating litter at sea. Properties of floating litter, such as size and surface rugosity, are crucial for colonization by marine organ- isms and the subsequent succession of the rafting community. The rafters them- selves affect substratum characteristics such as floating stability, buoyancy, and degradation. Under the influence of currents and winds marine litter can transport associated organisms over extensive distances. Because of the great persistence (especially of plastics) and the vast quantities of litter in the world’s oceans, raft- ing dispersal has become more prevalent in the marine environment, potentially facilitating the spread of invasive species.

  • Questions and Answers – Bryozoans
    Questions and Answers – Bryozoans What is bryozoa? Bryozoans are among the invertebrate animals that thrive in dark places where continuously flowing water brings an unlimited supply of particulate food (Fig 2). Free branches of the tubular colonies may become tangled and intertwined, filling the pipeline interior with a dense meshwork that impedes or blocks water flow. Pieces of colonies are eventually carried off by the water until they clog a filter, water sprinkler orifice, or other end-use device. The colonies leave behind dormant, resistant structures attached to the pipeline interior, which are the “seeds” to start new colony growth (T.S.Wood, 2005). Fig. 2. Colony of the bryozoan, Plumatella bombayensis, growing on a plastic substratum in eutrophic waters of Thailand. How widespread is the bryozoa problem? Throughout the world, bryozoans grow on filters, fountains, irrigation systems, cooling tower grids, water supply and wastewater facilities (WOOD & MARSH 1999). Typically known as “moss” or “algae”, they are seldom recognized as animals (Fig. 3). Fouled surfaces are usually ineffectively cleaned and then returned to service. Freshwater bryozoans are common in freshwater habitats worldwide. Species such as Plumatella casmiana are reported from every continent except Antarctica (WOOD &WOOD 2000), while others, such as Plumatella mukaii, have widely distributed but highly disjunct populations (WOOD 2002). It is clear from distribution data that freshwater bryozoans have little difficulty getting around (T.S.Wood, 2005). Fig. 3. Handful of plumatellid bryozoans (Plumatella vaihiriae) from the wall of a secondary clarifier of a municipal wastewater treatment (T.S.Wood, 2005). How long has bryozoa been a problem in pipelines? There are historical worldwide reports going back to the 1700’s ; more up to date reports from the early 1900’s to the present day are widely published.
