Chemoreceptors Regulate Discharge of Microbasic p-mastigophores in the Sea Anemone, AIPTASIA PALLIDA
… discharge on the tentacles of the sea anemone, Aiptasia pallida. These two classes of receptors were shown to interact with glycine and N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA). We now show that the discharge of the microbasic p-mastigophores, one of the three types of cnidae present on the tentacles of …

Characterisation of Nitric Oxide Synthase Activity in the Sea Anemone Aiptasia pallida and an Evaluation of Responses to Environmental Stress
… nevertheless demonstrated in the sea anemone A. pallida, in the zooxanthellae associated with A. pallida, Symbiodinium spp. and in five scleractinian coral species. Preliminary studies were conducted to characterise NOS from A. pallida. NOS activity of this species was shown to be predominantly …

The Roles of Ca2+ and cAMP in the Nematocyst Discharge of the Sea Anemone Tentacle
… discharge from tentacles of the sea anemone, <em>Aiptasia pallida</em>. Chemoreceptors respond to N-acetylated sugars, such as N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA), which occur on prey surfaces. When stimulated, this chemosensory pathway sensitizes CSMs to trigger nematocyst discharge in response to …

Ultraviolet Radiation and Carotenoid Pigmentation in Symbiotic Anthozoans
<p>In this study I used <em>Aiptasia pallida</em>, a common Caribbean anemone as a proxy for anthozoan/algal symbiosis, to investigate 1) the origin of carotenoid pigmentation and the role of carotenoids as ultraviolet radiation (UVR) photoprotectants and 2) the repopulation and photoadaptive …
