The Role of Sirtuin Inhibitors on the Proteomic Responses of the Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and Mytilus trossulus to Menadione Induced Oxidative Stress
… instance, the native cold-adapted mussel <em>Mytilus trossulus</em> is being replaced along its southern range by the invasive warm-adapted <em>Mytilus galloprovincialis</em>. These blue mussels occur throughout rocky intertidal zones where they are subjected to greatly varying environmental …

The effects of Didemnum vexillum overgrowth on Mytilus edulis biology and ecology
… organisms, such as the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis. Preliminary observations and short-term studies showed potential effects of epibiosis on M. edulis growth, specifically lip thickness and tissue index. This dissertation study further examined the effects of D. vexillum on growth and …

DOES FAT MATTER? Lipidomics investigations during Blue mussel (Mytilus sp.) hatchery production
The blue mussels (Mytilus sp) are an economically important species for European aquaculture, accounting, by weight, for over 50% of the bivalves produced across Europe. Nevertheless, the European mussel production sector is experiencing a continuous decline, with a net decrease in the production …

The Genetic Impacts of Mytilus Galloprovincialis On M. Trossulus In Northern Japan
… the marine environment, the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is a highly invasive species that has successfully invaded a number of geographic locations. This species has been shown to ecologically affect communities by outcompeting and displacing native species in both South Africa …

Uptake and depuration of cyanotoxins in the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis.
… of cyanotoxins in the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis, three feeding trials were performed. During these, mussels were exposed to two cyanobacteria strains - Nodularia spumigena KAC66 and Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7813 - both individually and simultaneously. A rapid dose-dependent …

Circadian and Circatidal Rhythms of Protein Abundance in the Intertidal Mussel Mytilus californianus
… For this study, we acclimated intertidal <em>Mytilus californianus</em> to circadian (12:12 h light/dark cycle) and circatidal (6:6 h tidal cycle) conditions in a tidal simulator and sampled gill tissue from mussels every 2 h for 48 h for proteomic analysis. Approximately 86% of the proteins …

The role of protein metal complexes in the mechanics of Mytilus californianus byssal threads
… to probe the coordination environment of zinc in Mytilus californianus threads at various stages during stretching and subsequent healing. Analysis of the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) suggests that tensile deformation of threads is correlated with the rupture of Zn-coordination …

Supercritical fluid extraction of polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides from mussel tissue (Mytilus edulis)
The supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of twenty one polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and eight organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) from freeze dried mussel tissue is discussed, demonstrated, and compared to traditional Soxhlet extractions. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of SFE …

Toxic effects of aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures isolated from crude oils to blue mussels (Mytilus edulis)
… from four different crude oils. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) biotest used shows a reduction of mussel feeding activity after 24 h exposure with increasing aqueous and tissue concentrations. The fractions of total and monoaromatic hydrocarbons exert similarly strong toxic effects as evidenced …

Aspectos tecnológicos y bio-ecológicos del asentamiento de mejillón, Mytilus edulis platensis, sobre colectores artificiales
El cultivo de mejillón en la Argentina es un recurso de alta potencialidad productiva y económica. Una de las principales limitantes para la expansión de esta actividad se encuentra en la provisión de juveniles para la cría y engorde, comúnmente denominados “semilla”. En el golfo San Jorge, Chubut, …

Characterization of the major extrapallial fluid protein of the mollusc, Mytilus edulis: Implications for function
… of the extrapallial (EP) fluid of the mollusc Mytilus edulis, named the EP protein, has been previously isolated and partially characterized. It has been proposed to play an important role in shell mineralization because of its intriguing property of Ca2+ -binding induced …
