Aposymbiotic Polyp
Cassiopea species asexually reproduce as polyps through a process called budding, where evagination of tissue at the aboral region produces a motile planuloid bud. This bud swims to and settles on appropriate substrate, where it develops into a scyphistomae. To read more about this, visit our Cassiopea literature tab!
Through this process, it is possible to create “clonal” lines by isolating an aposymbiotic polyp and allowing it to bud continuously. By starting a culture with one polyp and keeping all produced buds genetically isolated, you can create a line of aposymbiotic polyps from a controlled genetic background.
Here we established polyp lines and labs who host them. They’ve agreed to list their contact information for anyone who has questions or requests for polyps. If you have questions about this list or would like to be listed as a point of contact, please Contact Us.
If you would like to request polyps from the Medina Lab, visit our Animal Request tab.
