Exogenic production of bioactive filamentous biopolymer by monogonant rotifers
The chemical ecology of rotifers has been little studied. A yet unknown property is presented within some monogonant rotifers, namely the ability to produce an exogenic filamentous biopolymer, named ‘Rotimer’. This rotifer-specific viscoelastic fiber was observed in six different freshwater monogona...
