Shell Structure and Growth in the Base Plate of the Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2015The base plate of the acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite (equivalent to Balanus amphitrite) is composed of hierarchically scaled, mutually aligned calcite grains, adhered to the substratum via layered cuticular tissue and protein. Acorn barnacles grow by expanding and lengthening their side plates, under which the cuticle is stretched, and adhesive

Worldwide genetic differentiation in the common fouling barnacle,Amphibalanus amphitrite
Biofouling, 2014Amphibalanus amphitrite is a common fouling barnacle distributed globally in tropical and subtropical waters. In the present study, the genetic (mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I) and morphological differentiation in A. amphitrite from 25 localities around the world were investigated. The results revealed three clades within A. amphitrite with

Inhibitory effect of ultrasound on barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite) cyprid settlement
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2011Abstract The inhibitory effect of ultrasound on barnacle (Amphibalanus amphitrite) cyprid was investigated under three excitation frequencies (23, 63, and 102 kHz). The linear regression models were built to study the effect of ultrasound pressure and exposure time on the cyprid settlement.

Picophytoplankton Synechococcus as food for nauplii of Amphibalanus amphitrite and Artemia salina
Hydrobiologia, 2019The naupliar forms are important intermediaries between microbial and classical food web as they can efficiently graze on autotrophic picophytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria in diverse aquatic ecosystems. Current knowledge on feeding behavior of the naupliar grazing on picophytoplankton is limited and need to be explored.

siRNA transfection in larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite.
The Journal of experimental biology, 2016RNA interference (RNAi) provides an efficient and specific technique for functional genomic studies. Yet, no successful application of RNAi has been reported in barnacles. In this study, siRNA against p38 MAPK was synthesized and then transfected into A. amphitrite larvae at either the nauplius or cyprid stage, or at both stages.

Abstract Balanus amphitrite is a widespread species of barnacle. It is frequently studied, and of great importance to the marine coatings industry due to its significant abundance as a fouling organism on commercial shipping. We isolated and characterized eight highly polymorphic microsatellite loci, to aid in the determination of population genetic ...

Biochemical Analysis of Adhesives Produced by the Cypris Larvae of Barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite
Thalassas: An International Journal of Marine Sciences, 2016Barnacles are the dominant organisms in the biofouling communities throughout the world seas and attain considerable ecological and economic significance. In the present study, cement produced by the cypris larva of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite was analyzed to understand the biochemical composition of the adhesive material.

The evaluation of new antifouling paints is usually performed through long and expensive field tests(raft-tests), often depending on the season of exposure. Particularly in the Mediterranean Sea, these tests are representative only if carried out during spring or summer.
