What's the difference between infusorian and lorica?
Infusorian
Definition:
(n.) One of the Infusoria.
Example Sentences:
(1) The data on mechanical destruction of erythrocytes correlated with tests on toxicity of obtained samples carried out on mice and infusorians.
(2) Endosymbiotic relationships are described between Y. pseudotuberculosis and the free-living infusorian Tetrahymena pyriformis which sustains microbial populations in the soil (water).
(3) The test for the assessment of the metabolic profile of the rumen included: the determination of pH, total titration acidity in clinical units, lactic acid in mg%, fatty acids in mmol 1-1, ammonia N in mg%, urea N in mg% and the number of infusorians in 1 ml of rumen liquor.
(4) The loss of the hemolytic activity of L. pneumophila virulent strain leads to the loss of its capacity for multiplication in infusorians.
(5) To immobilize the infusorians, they were embedded into gelatin.
(6) The reduction of the number of infusorians as a biological indicator of fermentation processes proves the correctness of this assumption.
Lorica
Definition:
(n.) A cuirass, originally of leather, afterward of plates of metal or horn sewed on linen or the like.
(n.) Lute for protecting vessels from the fire.
(n.) The protective case or shell of an infusorian or rotifer.
Example Sentences:
(1) When sufficient strips have been produced the lorica is rapidly assembled.
(2) Division in Acanthoeca results in the production of a juvenile, flagellated, protoplast without a lorica.
(3) Effects of tetraethyl lead (TEL) and derivatives triethyl lead (TriEL), diethyl lead (DiEL), and inorganic lead (Pb) on lorica formation of the unicellular alga Poterioochromonas malhamensis were investigated by light and electron microscopy.
(4) The two taxa are distinguished from each other by the arrangement of costae forming the lorica chamber.
(5) The absence of continuity between the three anterior spines and any of the six longitudinal costae present at the front end of the lorica chamber is confirmed, but a range of conditions involving numerical reduction in costal numbers at the hind end is illustrated.
(6) Shape of the lorica and mode of attachment to the host are not generic characteristics in the Lagenophryidae.
(7) Lagenophryid lorica apertures consisting of opposing lips probably evolved as tight seals to prevent water loss when the host is temporarily out of water.
(8) Among the diagnostic structural features, special interest attaches to the position of the anterior transverse costa which is located unusually far back in comparison with other members of the genus; it is also shown to be within and not outside the ring of four longitudinal costae building up the lorica chamber, although this feature can only be ascertained by scanning.
(9) Low concentrations of TriEL (5 to 7.5 microM) selectively disturbed lorica formation, causing formation of numerous stalk-less loricae which exhibited gross and ultrastructural alterations like those induced by the antimitotic drug colchicine.
(10) From the inhibitory effects of TriEL and the close qualitative similarities to the effects of colchicine, it is concluded that TriEL selectively interferes with cytoplasmic and mitotic MTs of the algae, thereby causing the observed inhibitory effects on lorica formation, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
(11) Lagenophryid genera differ in gross structure of the lorica aperture and the peristomial sphincter associated with it.
(12) TEL, largely ineffective as such, inhibited lorica formation of P. malhamensis when the lead compound was illuminated during or before the experiment.
(13) Inorganic lead was even less toxic and did not selectively inhibit lorica formation of the algae.
(14) Lorica formation is microtubule (MT)--mediated and disturbed by agents interfering with MTs.
(15) These include elaborate and constant details of assembly at the anterior end of the lorica, combined with much greater variability at the hind end.
(16) fam., which is characterized by possession of a lorica, lack of a closure apparatus operated by the peristomial sphincter, and possession of an operculariform peristome.
