Open AccessThe effects of drought and nutrient addition on soil organisms vary across taxonomic groups, but are constant across seasons
Anthropogenic global change alters the activity and functional composition of soil communities that are responsible for crucial ecosystem functions and services. Two of the most pervasive global change drivers...

Microtubule formation on the nuclear surface during meiosis inAcetabularia acetabulum
Microtubules (MT) are a feature of all eukaryotic cells. However, they have not been observed in the cytoplasm of the vegetative phase ofAcetabularia acetabulum. Previous investigators have reported that, in the ...

Prenyl lipid and fatty-acid synthesis in isolatedAcetabularia chloroplasts
A gentle procedure allowed the isolation of intact and highly active chloroplasts from the unicellular green algaAcetabularia mediterranea. These chloroplasts incorporated carbon from NaH14CO3 into fatty acids an...

Article
Karyology ofAcetabularia mediterranea
Meiotic and mitotic divisions of the nuclei ofAcetabularia mediterranea were studied with the aid of DAPI fluorochrome and fluorescence microscopy. We report, for the first time, the formation of 20 bivalents in ...

The plastome of Acetabularia mediterranea and Batophora oerstedii: inter-and intraspecific variability and physical properties
Cells from Acetabularia mediterranea and Batophora oerstedii have been cloned and several lines established from these clones. Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) was isolated from these lines and characterized by restrictio...

Chapter
Pattern Formation in Acetabularia
The differing morphologies of the innumerable organisms of the world provide a basis to distinguish and classify them. There are higher multicellular or relatively simple unicellular organisms and even subcell...

An apparent lack of non-transcribed spacers in rDNA of a green alga
Actively transcribed DNA was made visible in nuclear material from the giant unicellular green alga Batophora oerstedii (Chlorophyta, Dasycladaceae) by means of Miller's spreading technique. A conspicuous feature...

Article
Morphology of the nucleo-cytoplasmic interactions during the development ofAcetabularia cells
An electron microscopic survey of nuclear events and changes in the perinuclear cytoplasm during the generative phase ofAcetabularia is presented with details on late stages in the maturation of the primary nucle...

Ribosomal DNA in different members of a family of green algae (Chlorophyta, Dasycladaceae): an electron microscopisal study
Active cistrons and non-transcribed spacers of rDNA were made visible in spread preparations of nucleolar material from different species of the green alga family Dasycladaceae (Chlorophyta). The data observed sh...
