Disease relevance of Daphnia

  • Of the four known globin genes that exist in the fresh-water crustacean Daphnia magna, several are individually induced by hypoxia, lending pale normoxic animals a visible red color when challenged by oxygen deprivation [1].
  • This program comprised acute toxicity studies on nine representative species of aquatic life, chronic reproduction studies on Daphnia magna, biodegradation (fate) testing, and physicochemical property (mobility) determinations on 14 phthalate esters [2].
  • By supplementation of single-lipid compounds in controlled growth experiments, we show here that the low C transfer efficiency of coccal and filamentous cyanobacteria to the keystone herbivore Daphnia is caused by the low sterol content in cyanobacteria, which constrains cholesterol synthesis and thereby growth and reproduction of the herbivore [3].
  • The effect of both the alkyl (10 and 12 carbon atoms) and the spacer chain (from 2-10 methylene groups) of bis(Args) on their antimicrobial activity, acute toxicity on Daphnia magna and Photobacterium phosphoreum, and aerobic biodegradability is studied [4].
  • Life-history characteristics of Daphnia exposed to dissolved microcystin-LR and to the cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa with and without microcystins [5].

Associations of Daphnia with chemical compounds

  • Temperature-dependent effects of cadmium on Daphnia magna: accumulation versus sensitivity [9].
  • The freshwater cladoceran Daphnia pulex was explored as an alternative to Artemia salina for the biological screening of phytochemicals [21].
  • Low exposure concentration effects of methoprene on endocrine-regulated processes in the crustacean Daphnia magna [22].
  • In the present study, we demonstrate that two responses to environmental stress signaling in the crustacean Daphnia magna--hemoglobin accumulation and male offspring production--are co-elevated by the crustacean terpenoid hormone methyl farnesoate and several synthetic analogs [23].
  • Uptake and elimination routes of inorganic mercury and methylmercury in Daphnia magna [24].
 

Gene context of Daphnia

  • A 3667-base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial genome of the crustacean Daphnia pulex has been sequenced and found to contain the complete genes for the small subunit ribosomal RNA, ND2, seven tRNAs and the control region [25].
  • The Daphnia Magna test for final residual TOC does not reveal anytoxic behavior [26].
  • Daphnia magna showed high sensitivity to both toxicants, whereas L. quadridentata was highly resistant to DDT and less susceptible to Mn [27].
  • Cytochrome B gene partial sequence and RAPD analysis of two Daphnia longispina lineages differing in their resistance to copper [28].
