The Effect Of Caloric Restriction On The Population Density Of Freshwater Rotifers (Brachionus Calyciflorus), Ni̇lgün Özdemi̇r, Abdulkadi̇r Çi̇ltaş
Turkish Journal of Zoology
The effects of caloric restriction (CR) on the population density of freshwater rotifers (Brachionus calyciflorus) were investigated in the present study. During experiments with different CRs, groups of rotifers were fed with Chlorella sp. at the same concentrations of 1.5 × 10^6 cells/mL at 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 h intervals for 20 days. Significant changes were observed both in the population density and the peak days in groups subjected to different CRs (P < 0.01). The highest peak in population density was obtained on the fifth day for rotifers fed in 12 h intervals (269 ± 40.12 individuals/mL, mean ± SD). The rate of population increase (r) varied from 0.608 ± 0.073 to 0.288 ± 0.053, depending on the feeding intervals. The results show that CR affected the population density of B. calyciflorus.

The synthesis of 4-amino-2-[(5-mercapto-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2- yl)methyl]-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (2) and 4-amino-2-[(4-amino-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl]- 5-(4-methylphenyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (5) was performed starting from 2-[4-amino-3-(4-methylphenyl)-5-oxo-4,5- dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]acetohydrazide (1). The treatment of 2 and 5 with 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (for 8) or salicylaldehyde (for 6) afforded the corresponding Schiff bases (6 and 8). The condensation of 5 with phenacyl bromide produced 4-amino-5-(4-methylphenyl)-2- [(6-phenyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazin-3-yl)methyl]- 2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazol-3-one (7). The alkylation of 2 and 8 was carried out by using methyl iodide in basic media. Compounds 3 and 10a,b were prepared by aminoalkylation of 2 and 8 with 4-fluorophenyl piperazine, morpholine, or 4-methyl piperazine in the presence of formaldehyde. The synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial activities …
