Genetic and Morphological Diversity of Botryllus schlosseri on the Turkish Coast Tohumcu, Begüm Ece; Öztürk, Esra; Karahan, Arzu (2024-07-31) Botryllus schlosseri is a vital model organism in the botryllid ascidian species. It is a crucial reference point for phylogenetic studies due to its ancestral position within the chordate lineage. Despite its acknowledged...
Seven ascidian (Tunicata) species from the North Eastern Mediterranean Karahan, Arzu (2023-10-01) Members of the tunicates, a subphylum of marine filter-feeder chordates, inhabit all marine and oceanic habitats from the subtidal to the abyssal. Considered the closest relatives to the vertebrates, the tunicates are wide...
Phylogeographic and Morphological Analysis of Botrylloides niger Herdman, 1886 from the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea Temiz, Berivan; Öztürk, Esra; Blanchoud, Simon; Karahan, Arzu (2023-03-01) Botrylloides niger (class Ascidiacea) is an invasive marine filter-feeding invertebrate that is believed to originate from the West Atlantic region. This species of colonial tunicate has been observed in several locations ...
Identification of Cutinolytic Esterase from Microplastic-Associated Microbiota Using Functional Metagenomics and Its Plastic Degrading Potential Adıgüzel, Ali Osman; Şen, Fatma; Könen-Adıgüzel, Serpil; Kıdeyş, Ahmet Erkan; Karahan, Arzu; Doruk, Tuğrul; Tunçer, Münir (2023-01-01) Plastic pollution has threatened biodiversity and human health by shrinking habitats, reducing food quality, and limiting the activities of organisms. Therefore, global interest in discovering novel enzymes capable of degr...
A broad-taxa approach as an important concept in ecotoxicological studies and pollution monitoring Rosner, Amalia; et. al. (2023-01-01) Aquatic invertebrates play a pivotal role in (eco)toxicological assessments because they offer ethical, cost-effective and repeatable testing options. Additionally, their significance in the food chain and their ability to...

16S rRNA diversity of mirror lake in Gilindire Cave (Turkey) shows abundant Nitrospira Deliceirmak, Selin; Karahan, Arzu (2022-09-01) We present the prokaryotic microbial diversity of Mirror Lake, located at the end of Gilindire Cave (Turkey), whose geomorphology shows development in multiple geologic periods and by multiple mechanisms. The lake comprise...
Studying Tunicata WBR Using Botrylloides anceps Karahan, Arzu; Öztürk, Esra; Temiz, Berivan; Blanchoud, Simon (Humana Press, Inc., 2022-04-01) Tunicates are marine filter-feeding invertebrates that can be found worldwide and which are the closest phylogenetic group to the vertebrates (Craniata). Of particular interest, colonial tunicates are the only known chor...
