Bioactive compounds were orally administered to the native European oyster Ostrea edulis to evaluate the immune response and the progression of infection of the protozoan parasite Bonamia ostreae. The immunostimulants lipopolysaccharide and zymosan directly administrated to the water column induced an increase in lysozyme activity and the percentage of granulocytes in naïve oysters over a period of...
Fluorosurfactants are the key components in aqueous film forming foams (AFFF). They provide these fire fighting agents with the required low surface tension and they enable film formation on top of lighter fuels to prevent burn back. Development of effective and environmentally acceptable PFOS alternatives is one of the most important priorities in the fire fighting foam industry. DuPont™ offers the...
The chromosomal characteristics, locations and variations of two classes of ribosomal DNA (5S and 18S) were studied in European grayling karyotype (Thymallus thymallus, Salmonidae). Major rDNA sites as revealed by sequential CMA3/Ag staining and confirmed by in situ hybridization with a 18S rDNA probe were situated in two loci and were found to be polymorphic in size and displaying several distinct...
In the present study the chromosome distribution of the 5S rDNA loci and its relation to the major rDNA genes were investigated in three Coregonid species (Salmonidae): Coregonus lavaretus, Coregonus peled and Coregonus albula, a family which has experienced large karyotype rearrangements along its evolution starting from a tetraploid ancestor. 5S PRINS/CMA3 sequential staining together with previous...
An analysis of the variation in the number and location of rDNA genes has been carried out in two populations of brown trout (Salmo trutta) from Poland by using Ag and CMA3-staining, and rDNA in situ hybridisation. We observed an interindividual variation in arm number with NF = 100, 101, and 102. This variation was connected with the size polymorphism of the short (NOR-bearing) arm of the chromosome...
