It has already been clarified by the experiment using MRP of B. plicatilis that differences of MRP molecular structure among rotifer species and strains cause reproductive isolation. In this study, we tried isolating the MRP of B. rotundiformis and B. plicatilis, and compared the reactivity of both MRP to male's receptor. Using two kinds of lectin, MRPs of B. rotundiformis Koshiki strain and B. plicatilis Russian strain were isolated. Molecular weights of two-isolated MRP were determined with SDS-PAGE. To investigate the reactivity of MRP to male's receptor, four B. rotundiformis strains (Koshiki, Hamana, Thai, and Fiji) and three B. plicatilis strains were used. Molecular weight of both MRPs was 26 kDa. Russian MRP bound intensely with B. plicatilis male's receptor but not with B. rotundiformis. The reactivity of Koshiki MRP to control (Koshiki strain) was the same as to other six strains. Therefore, it is suggested that molecular structure of B. plicatilis MRP is different from that of B. rotundiformis although their molecular weights are the same.}, pages = {63--68}, title = {海産ツボワムシ類2種の性フェロモン性状}, volume = {81}, year = {2000} }
