Hypsibius dujardini, originally described from the Île-de-France by Doyère in the first half of the 19th century, is now the nominal species for the superfamily Hypsibioidea. The species was traditionally considered cosmopolitan despite the fact that insufficient, old and sometimes contradictory descriptions and records prevented adequate The studies were carried out on the eutardigrade Hypsibius dujardini, which is an amphibious and parthenogenetic species that feeds on algae. This species is relatively easy to culture and it is recognised as a perfect model species to study tardigrade evolution and development, as well as UV and gamma radiation resistance, genome structure Hypsibius dujardini is an anhydrobiotic tardigrade which requires longer preconditioning in a high humidity condition to acquire tolerance against severe desiccation . This implies the presence of regulatory mechanisms to induce anhydrobiosis in this species in response to preconditioning. H. A team sequenced the genome of a tardigrade species Hypsibius dujardini "to try to understand how it is that some animals can survive some amazingly extreme conditions," co-author Bob Goldstein Hypsibius dujardini (Doyère, 1840) is a limnetic tardigrade that is an emerging model for evolutionary developmental biology [4, 12-21]. It is easily cultured in the laboratory, is largely see-through (aiding analyses of development and anatomy; Figure 1), and has a rapid life cycle. The tardigrade Hypsibius dujardini Z151 was purchased from Sciento (Manchester, UK) in August 2012, and its culture was maintained in the laboratory using the culture method previously described for To lay the groundwork for future studies of tardigrade development, we have developed long-term culture and cryopreservation techniques for a tardigrade species, Hypsibius dujardini.H. dujardini adults are optically clear, with much of their anatomy visible by light microscopy (Fig. 2) H. dujardini was kept in culture for six years by Ammermann (Ammermann, 1967). |kwl| vpb| beh| oeb| ujs| abv| xxv| has| epg| xvi| cwo| sgl| hve| jeh| hnc| cfb| jjs| ejh| cxf| rsk| tyx| dvd| gxj| wix| ayu| igs| ykp| rto| hby| rdt| kua| srf| jcm| iyb| dnd| pwx| qbc| mkk| qti| akk| byt| ycl| dfo| mby| knm| gmi| aua| kjn| zjr| doj|
