Biology:Auanema
From HandWiki
Auanema is a genus of halophilic roundworms from the family Rhabditidae, first described by a group of biologists in 2017.[1] It is found in Mono Lake in the US state of California, a lake of high salinity and can survive a level of arsenic dosage that is lethal to human.[2]
Description
Auanema can survive in environments with an arsenic dosage of 500 times the lethal dosage for human.[2] Certain species of this genus were observed to have three sexes: male, female and hermaphrodite.[3]
Species
The genus has the following six species:[4][5]
- Auanema freiburgensis Kanzaki et al., 2017
- Auanema melissensis Sudhaus, 2023
- Auanema reciproca Sudhaus, 1974
- Auanema rhodensis Kanzaki et al., 2017
- Auanema seurati Maupas, 1916
- Auanema viguieri Maupas, 1916
