Spore-like reproductive cysts of enigmatic organisms called acantharians rapidly sink from surface waters to the deep ocean in certain regions, according to new research. Scientists suspect that this is part of an extraordinary reproductive strategy, which allows juveniles to exploit a seasonal food bonanza.
Abstract. Acantharian cysts were discovered in sediment trap samples from spring 2007 at 2000 m in the Iceland Basin. Although these single-celled organisms contribute to particul
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, or "sed rate") measures how quickly red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. Typically, the higher the sed rate, the more inflammation there is in the body. A sedimentation rate is a common blood test that is used to detect and monitor inflammation in the body.
[3,21,25]. However, a particularly large type of acantharian cyst was recently found in sediment traps from 2000 m in the Iceland Basin, contributing up to 48% of POC flux during a 2-week sampling interval [4]. It was hypothesized that deep sedimentation of cysts might be limited to high latitudes and exhibit a seasonal

Acantharian cells have also been found hundreds and even thousands of meters deep in the water column (Antia et al., 1993, Bernstein et al., 1987, Martin et al., 2010). Within the marine food web, the Acantharia are active predators (Swanberg and Caron 1991), and they significantly contribute to carbon flux and biogeochemical cycles …
2.1 Sample collection. Twelve cells of the acantharian species Acanthochiasma sp. were collected in the Mediterranean Sea (Villefranche-sur-Mer; 43°40.552 N, 7°18.447 E) in September 2010 and 2011 by gently towing a plankton net (150 μm mesh size) at the subsurface. Morphological identification was performed …

Here, we established the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny from single morphologically-identified acantharian cells, isolated from various oceans. Our phylogenetic analyses based on 78 18S rDNA and 107 partial 28S rDNA revealed the existence of 6 main clades, sub-divided into 13 sub-clades. ... Sedimentation of …

The research shows that deep sedimentation of cysts during the spring delivers significant amounts of organic matter to the ocean depths, providing a potential source of nutrients for creatures of the deep. ... Evidence suggests that, at high latitudes, rapid, deep sedimentation of acantharian cysts recurs each spring. The cysts sink to …

Reproduction in Acantharia occurs either directly from the adult stage (a-f), or after encystment of the cell (g, h). (a-f) Light microscopy images showing a time lapse of an acantharian cell at ...
Prior to X-ray imaging, Acantharia were treated with 8.25% NaOCl for 30 min to remove surrounding organic material, was hed with H 2 O and 95% ethanol. 1 mm quartz capillaries (Charles Supper) were used for pulling glass fibers. To prevent glass absorption, Acantharian endoskeletons were mounted on the tip of pulled glass needles …
As they are also uncultured, relatively little is known about acantharian biology, especially regarding their life cycles. Here, we take a paired approach, bringing together high-throughput, in situ imaging and metabarcode sequencing, to investigate acantharian abundance, vertical distribution, and life history in the western North Pacific.
Acantharian cysts can contribute significantly to the pre‐spring bloom POC flux, and dominate the annual particulate Strontium flux in the Iceland Basin, with fluxes up to 2.50 mmol m‐2 yr‐1. The role of celestite, rapid sedimentation and the viability of the Acantharian cysts in the Iceland Basin is explored to further the current ...

The abundance and flux of acantharian cysts were recorded for a period of 12 months from December 2012 to 2013 in a sediment trap deployed at 1500 m in the north-eastern Scotia Sea, Southern Ocean. Acantharia (radiolarian protists) are found globally, have very dense celestite skeletons, and form cysts which can sink rapidly …
Overview. Sed rate, or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), is a blood test that can show inflammatory activity in the body. Many health problems can cause a sed rate test result to be outside the standard range. A sed rate test is often used with other tests to help your health care team diagnose or check the progress of an inflammatory disease.
2.4. Acantharian Abundance and Acantharian-Skeleton Ba/Sr Ratio [14] For quantitative assessment of acantharian abundance, seawater samples were taken from ten or thirteen discrete depths using Niskin bottles. Sampling for acantharians was done at T = −1, at days 10, 21, 28 and 36 (IN-patch) and at days 11, 26 and 34 (OUT …
Abundance, encystment and sedimentation of scantharia SrCl2-6H2O to a final concentration of 80 mg I"1 was added to both water column and sediment trap samples, in order to prevent further dissolution of acantharian skeletons and cyst walls, as recommended by Beers and Stewart (1970). Acantharia and their cysts were counted …
