Transcriptome Analysis of the Sydney Rock Oyster, Saccostrea glomerata: Insights into Molluscan Immunity
BACKGROUND Oysters have important ecological functions in their natural environment, acting as global carbon sinks and improving water quality by removing excess nutrients from the water column. During their life-time oysters are exposed to a variety of pathogens that can cause severe mortality in a range of oyster species. Environmental stressors encountered in their habitat can increase the s...
متن کاملThe effect of low salinity on phenoloxidase activity in the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata
This study tested the effects of low salinity on phenoloxidase activity in Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata). Phenoloxidase is a key component of the immune system in S. glomerata. Previously, we have shown that decreased phenoloxidase activity is associated with susceptibility to fatal QX disease. In the current study, laboratory-based experiments were used to identify factors that co...
متن کاملThe role of phenoloxidase suppression in QX disease outbreaks among Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata)
The paramyxean protozoan, Marteilia sydneyi, is the etiological agent of QX disease in Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata). QX disease affects the farming of oysters in Queensland and on five rivers in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Disease outbreaks occur during summer months (January to April) and are associated with high mortality rates (up to 98%), which limit the growing out peri...
متن کاملPhenoloxidase and QX disease resistance in Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata).
QX is a fatal disease in Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata) that results from infection by the protistan parasite, Marteilia sydneyi. Since 1997, the New South Wales Fisheries Service has bred S. glomerata for resistance to QX disease. The current study shows that the QX resistance breeding program has selected oysters with enhanced phenoloxidase (PO) activities. The third generation of...
متن کاملAdult exposure to ocean acidification is maladaptive for larvae of the Sydney rock oyster Saccostrea glomerata in the presence of multiple stressors.
Parental effects passed from adults to their offspring have been identified as a source of rapid acclimation that may allow marine populations to persist as our surface oceans continue to decrease in pH. Little is known, however, whether parental effects are beneficial for offspring in the presence of multiple stressors. We exposed adults of the oyster Saccostrea glomerata to elevated CO2 and e...
