For example, both Trachelocerca sagitta and Trachelocerca stephani have single nuclear groups with 4 macronuclei and 2 micronuclei; however, the size of T. sagitta is ∼5 fold that of T. stephani (Table 2). There is also considerable variation within species. For example, the length of ...
The protozoa are one-celled, eukaryotic organisms, usually heterotrophic, that often show active movements like metazoan animals. Generally, the term is not commonly used in the recent literature, and instead, the organisms are defined only as belonging to particular phyla of protists (protists are...
Though they are unicellular like bacteria, they do not have distinct cell wall, but they produce a mycelium that is nonseptate and more slender. Actinobacteria include some of the most common soil, freshwater, and marine type, playing an important role in decomposition of organic materials, ...
Additionally, many plants ofLibanotishave important medicinal value and are used as traditional Chinese medicinal materials. For example, sixLibanotistaxa (L. buchtormensis(Fisch.) DC.,L. lancifoliaK.T.Fu.,L. spodotrichomaK.T.Fu.,L. wannienchunK.T.Fu.,L. lanzhouensisK.T.Fu ex R.H...
For non-interacting unicellular organisms in constant environments, the rate of this self-replication is equivalent to their evolutionary fitness1: fast-growing cells outcompete those growing more slowly. Accordingly, we expect that natural selection favoring fast growth in specific environments has played...
What is an example of biodiversity?Biodiversity:In ecology, biodiversity is broadly defined as the range and variation of life in an ecosystem. This can include over a within a region, between regions, and over a period of time. Additionally, different measures of biodiversity include genetic ...
Cilia are hair-like organelles that protrude from the surface of eukaryotic cells and can be classified as primary (immotile) and motile cilia based on their motility properties. The beating of motile cilia can either propel the movement of unicellular organisms or drive fluid flow in metazoan ani...
nitrifying bacteria, base of food chain and food web. N.B. : Phytoplanktons, which are microorganisms, are important producers floating on the upper layers of lakes or ocean. They are unicellular organisms which also contain chloroplasts to carry out photosynthesis just like the terrestrial plants...
Unicellular organisms are the platforms most investigated for the heterologous production of spidroins. The Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli has been the host system most widely used in the production of recombinant spider silk proteins [16]. The popularity of E. coli stems from its relative...
and unicellular fungi. Moreover, the larvicidal efficiency of plant-based MgO-NPs was assessed againstCulex quinquefasciatusmosquitoes. In this work, the novelty lies in the successful synthesis of MgO-NPs utilizing plant waste (P. granatum-peel aqueous extract) as a green and eco-friendly met...
