My text, Hickman's 10th edition, has what I assume may be a mistake and I would like some clarification. Hickman, states that free living nematodes feed on, "bacteria, yeast, fungal hyphae and algae. (P.308). Yet Libby Hyman in her McGraw Invertebrate series(1951) clearly states that many are saprophagous feeding "on detritus and dead and decaying plant and animal material." (P401) She also is aware of others that eat "the accompaniments of decay as bacteria, yeast and fungal filaments." I am assuming that Hyman is right (her series shows an amazing knowledge of the literature up that time and many free living nematodes get their nourishment from feeding on decaying material and not just on organisms that are agents of decay in that material. In any case, before I tell the class I their text is wrong (citing Hyman), I thought I would check with some professionals that might know the answer. I realize it may be difficult to separate bacteria from organic material and be able to tell exactly what nematodes are eating and I assume like many invertebrates they do NOT have cellulase enzymes but are dependent on bacteria to breakdown any cellulose that is consumed. If this is common knowledge, you may respond to me privately and not back to the list. In a couple of days, I will probably sign off again.

Thanks Mark Blaxter Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Edinburgh The Nematode EST Project Parasitic nematodes infect humans, animals and plants. They cause significant disease, morbidity and mortality, and are economically very damaging to the agricultural economies of developed and developing countries. The genome of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been sequenced. About 40% of the identified genes cannot be identified by database search and appear to be C. elegans specific. Analysis of expressed sequence tags or ESTs of the human parasite Brugia malayi shows that many of these novel genes may in fact be nematode-specific. We suggest that work on other economically important nematodes can benefit directly from the C. elegans genome project and that full understanding of the C. elegans genome may only be achieved by comparison to other nematodes. We have been funded by the Wellcome Trust to generate ~20,000 ESTs each from five additional nematode species selected on the basis of their medical, economic and research importance (see http://www.ed.ac.uk/~mbx/small_genomes.html for more details). We are seeking a qualified molecular biologist with experience of cDNA library construction, and possibly also genomics or related disciplines. A familiarity with UNIX-based biocomputing will be an advantage. The appointee will be involved in cDNA library construction, clone selection and extensive sequence analysis. The bulk of the sequencing will be carried out in collaboration with the Sanger Centre, Cambridge. The post is for 24 months and is available immediately. A parallel project is being carried out in the USA under the direction of Dr. Jim McCarter (Washington University, St. Louis), and our programs are designed to dovetail closely. For background to the research please see the world wide web at http://www.ed.ac.uk/~mbx/small_genomes.html. Also of relevance are Blaxter, M. L. (1998). Caenorhabditis elegans is a nematode.

I want to send an inquiry (see attachment file) to some representative=20 nematologists per country. (Because our course is sponsored by the = Belgian=20 Administration for Development Co-operation, it is also very important = to=20 receive information from developing countries.) Therefor I am addressing myself to you with the demand if you could=20 indicate some co-operative nematologists from your and other countries; = and=20 if you want to reply the inquiry in attachment file and forward this = file=20 to your colleagues. Looking forward to hearing from you.
