Optimising the application of 5-methoxy-2-methyl-indole to induce strobilation in moon jellyfish polyps

Chronic pesticide exposure elicits a subtle carry-over effect on the metabolome of Aurelia coerulea ephyrae

“…The polyps were exposed to experimental treatments for four weeks, after which they were induced to strobilate (released ephyrae) by exposure to 1.25 µM of 5-methoxy-2-methylindole (Sigma-Aldrich, M15451, CAS 1076-74-0) for four hours (Pitt et al, 2020). Polyps were rinsed with FSW three times to remove all traces of indole.…”
