Impacts of the combined exposure to seawater acidification and arsenic on the proteome of Crassostrea angulata and Crassostrea gigas [PDF]

, 2018
Proteomic analysis was performed to compare the effects of Arsenic (As), seawater acidification (Low pH) and the combination of both stressors (Low pH + As) on Crassostrea angulata and Crassostrea gigas juveniles in the context of global environmental ...

Novel Microsatellite Markers for Brazilian Mangrove Oysters ( Crassostrea gasar ) and their Cross-Amplification in Crassostrea rhizophorae

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2016
A microsatellite CT/GT enriched genomic library was developed for Crassostrea gasar and twelve new polymorphic loci were isolated and characterized. The markers were successfully amplified from 25 individuals of Crassostrea gasar and 11 cross-amplified ...

Molecular identification, phylogeny and geographic distribution of Brazilian mangrove oysters (Crassostrea)

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2010
Oysters (Ostreidae) manifest a high degree of phenotypic plasticity, whereby morphology is of limited value for species identification and taxonomy. By using molecular data, the aim was to genetically characterize the species of Crassostrea occurring ...

Comparative analysis of lipid components in fresh Crassostrea Hongkongensis (raw) and its dried products by using high-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC/Q-TOF-MS)

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
The lipids of the oyster (Crassostrea hongkongensis) have a special physiological activity function, which is essential to maintain human health. However, comprehensive research on their lipids species and metabolism is not so common. In our study, based

Investigation of the Concentration of some Metals in Blood Cockle (Senilia senilis) and Oyster (Crassostrea gasar) from Bonny Estuary and Assessment of the Human Health Risk Associated with their Consumption

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2022
There is a growing concerns over the health risk of consuming seafood contaminated with poisonous metals from human activities.  This study examined the concentration and human health risk of Pb, Cd, Cr, Ni, Co, Zn, V and Hg associated with the ...

Comparative proteomic and phosphoproteomic analysis reveals differential heat response mechanism in two congeneric oyster species

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
High-temperature stress caused by global climate change poses a significant threat to marine ectotherms. This study investigated the role of protein phosphorylation modifications in the molecular regulation network under heat stress in oysters, which are

Filter feeding by oysters reduces disease transmission in a marine host-parasite system. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract As a mechanism of the dilution effect, predation and filter feeding on parasitic propagules are hypothesized to reduce transmission to susceptible hosts and alter host–parasite interactions. In marine systems, the effect of other community members on the disease dynamics of microparasites in their suitable hosts is poorly known.

Satellite remote sensing reveals a positive impact of living oyster reefs on microalgal biofilm development [PDF]

, 2018
Satellite remote sensing (RS) is routinely used for the large-scale monitoring of microphytobenthos (MPB) biomass in intertidal mudflats and has greatly improved our knowledge of MPB spatio-temporal variability and its potential drivers.
