Mineral phase in shell repair of Manila clam Venerupis philippinarum affected by brown ring disease.
The mineral phase of shell repair in the Manila clam Venerupis philippinarum affected by brown ring disease (BRD) was characterised at various scales and at various stages of shell repair by confocal Raman microspectrometry and scanning electron microscopy. Spherulitic and quadrangular aragonite microstructures associated with polyene pigments were clearly observed. Von Kossa staining showed th...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of a Novel Big Defensin from Clam Venerupis philippinarum
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are important mediators of the primary defense mechanism against microbial invasion. In the present study, a big defensin was identified from Venerupis philippinarum haemocytes (denoted as VpBD) by RACE and EST approaches. The VpBD cDNA contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 285 bp encoding a polypeptide of 94 amino acids. The deduce amino acid sequence of VpBD s...
متن کاملInfluence of intertidal Manila clam Venerupis philippinarum aquaculture on biogeochemical fluxes
Bivalve aquaculture introduces high densities of farmed organisms to the natural environment with potential consequences on a number of ecosystem processes, including modification of nutrient fluxes (e.g. NH4, NOX, PO4, and Si(OH)4) and benthic respiration, and may impact benthic communities. Infaunal clam culture may influence the environment due to the clams themselves [their metabolic proces...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) from Manila clam Venerupis philippinarum.
Allograft inflammatory factor-1 (AIF-1) is a 17 kDa interferon-γ-inducible Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand protein that plays a significant role not only in different host responses to inflammatory stimuli, but in the whole host immune defense reaction. In the present study, the full-length cDNA of AIF-1 was identified from manila clam Venerupis philippinarum (denoted as VpAIF-1) by cDNA library and RAC...
متن کاملGlutathione Transferases Responses Induced by Microcystin-LR in the Gills and Hepatopancreas of the Clam Venerupis philippinarum
A multi-method approach was employed to compare the responses of Glutatione Transferases (GSTs) in the gills and hepatopancreas of Venerupis philippinarum to microcystins (MCs) toxicity. In this way, using the cytosolic fraction, the enzymatic activity of GSTs, superoxide dismutase (SOD), serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PPP2) along with the gene expression levels of four GST isoforms (pi...
