title: [Reactive oxygen species generation by external surfaces of aquatic organisms].
abstract: We have demonstrated that water organisms of various phylogenetic levels--lower fungi, sponges, colenterates, molluscs, and fishes--produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) into the aquatic environment without any additional stimuli. Our experimental data support the idea that ROS production by marine invertebrates is calcium- and proteinkinase C-dependent process, whose functions still remain unknown.
