What's the difference between anthozoan and zoanthodeme?

Anthozoan


Definition:

  • (a.) Pertaining to the Anthozoa.
  • (n.) One of the Anthozoa.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The nervous systems of the scyphomedusae Chrysaora hysoscella, Cyanea capillata and Cyanea lamarckii (Phylum Cnidaria) were stained using an anti-serum against the anthozoan neuropeptide Antho-RFamide.
  • (2) The system of a related anthozoan coelenterate, the sea pansy Renilla reniformis, however, is oxygen dependent, requiring two organic components, luciferin and luciferase.
  • (3) Luciferase from the anthozoan coelenterate Renilla reniformis catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of luciferin consuming 1 mol of O2 per mol of luciferin oxidized and producing 1 mol of CO2, 1 mol of oxyluciferin, and light (lambdaB, 480 nm) with a 5.5% quantum yield.
  • (4) We find that all anthozoan species tested possess mtDNA in the form of circular molecules, whereas all scyphozoan, cubozoan, and hydrozoan species tested display mtDNA in the form of linear molecules.
  • (5) An acidic, low molecular weight (18 400--19 100) protein capable of activating porcine brain phosphodiesterase in the presence of calcium has been purified 2700-fold from the anthozoan coelenterate, Renilla reniformis.
  • (6) The cellular localization of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was investigated in the pennatulid anthozoan Renilla koellikeri by means of peroxidase-antiperoxidase-immunohistochemistry with an antiserum against 5-HT-formaldehyde-protein conjugate.
  • (7) Renilla reniformis is an anthozoan coelenterate capable of exhibiting bioluminescence.
  • (8) Antho-RWamide I (less than Glu-Ser-Leu-Arg-Trp-NH2) and Antho-RWamide II (less than Glu-Gly-Leu-Arg-Trp-NH2), the second and third anthozoan neuropeptides to be identified, both induced slow contractions of several endodermal muscles in four species of sea anemone.
  • (9) In addition to the known (20S,22E)-cholesta-1,4,22-triene-16 beta,18, 20-triol-3-one, (20S,22E)-24-methyl-cholesta-1,4,22-triene-16 beta,18,20-triol-3-one, and (20S,22E)-24-methylcholesta-4,22-diene-16 beta,18,20-triol-3-one, the methanol extract of the Mediterranean anthozoan Antipathes subpinnata was shown to contain five new sterols: (20S,22E)-cholesta-1,4,22-triene-18,20-diol-3-one, (20S,22E)-24-methylcholesta-1,4,22-triene-18,20-diol-3-one, (20S)-cholest-4-ene-16 beta,18,20-triol-3-one, (20S,22E)-cholesta-4,22-diene- 16 beta,18,20-triol-3-one, and (20S,22E)-24-methylcholesta-4,22-diene-16 beta,18,20-triol-3-one, whose stereostructures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical evidence.
  • (10) Luciferase from the anthozoan coelenterate Renilla reniformis (Renilla luciferin:oxygen 2-oxidoreductase (decarboxylating), EC 1.13.12.5.)
  • (11) This paper reports the results of a pharmacological survey of drug action on muscle preparations of the anthozoan Bunodosoma caissarum.
  • (12) Unlike the responses to Antho-RFamide (the first anthozoan neuropeptide described), these were simple contractions with no change in spontaneous activity.

Zoanthodeme


Definition:

  • (n.) The zooids of a compound anthozoan, collectively.
