Ultrastructural characteristics of Nematopsis sp. oocysts (Apicomplexa: Porosporidae), a parasite of the clam Meretrix meretrix (Veneridae) from the Arabian Gulf, Saudi Arabia.
This paper describes the fine structure of oocysts of Nematopsis sp. (Apicomplexa, Porosporidae) found in the abductor muscles of seawater clams, Meretrix meretrix (Linnaeus, 1758) (Veneridae), collected near the city of Dammam (6 degrees 17'0"N, 50 degrees 12'0"E) in the Arabian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Oocysts of an ellipsoidal shape were found among myofibrils of the abductor musc...
متن کاملBioaccumulation of nickel and vanadium by clams (Meretrix meretrix) living in different salinities along the Saudi coast of the Arabian Gulf.
The objective of this study was to investigate bioaccumulation of nickel (Ni) and vanadium (V) in clams living in different salinity regimes along the Saudi coast of the Arabian Gulf. Several hundred clam (Meretrix meretrix), sediment, and seawater samples were collected from 12 locations. Concentrations of Ni and V were determined in these samples using an inductively coupled argon plasma anal...
متن کاملMining of EST-SSR markers in clam Meretrix meretrix larvae from 454 shotgun transcriptome.
A total of 2,970 EST-SSRs (2.38%) were identified by transcriptome sequencing of clam Meretrix meretrix (751,970 reads, ~310.82 Mbp), using 454 Genome Sequencer FLX next-generation sequencing platform. Dinucleotide SSR was the dominant repeat type (40.2%), followed by trinucleotide (37.8%), tetranuleotide (12.0%) and pentanucleotide (2.0%) SSR. The dominant repeat motif was AT (71.3%) in the di...
متن کاملMicrosatellite marker analysis reveals the distinction between the north and south groups of hard clam (Meretrix meretrix) in China.
Meretrix meretrix is one of the important commercial bivalves in China. A total of 198 individual clams were collected from 5 locations characteristic of the clam's 5 main natural habitats in China, that is, Shandong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi. Ten polymorphic microsatellite markers were selected to examine the genetic diversity and identify genetic differences between the 5 popul...
متن کاملMeretrix Meretrix: Active Components and Their Bioactivities
The clam Meretrix meretrix Linnaeus (M. meretrix, Veneridae), is a popular edible shellfish with abundant nutrition and valuable medical properties widely distributed in eastern Asia. As a kind of popular sea food diet, many bioactive components such as peptides, proteins, enzymes, polysaccharide, minerals, essential vitamins, essential amino acids and enzyme inhibitors, have been purified from...
