Bacillus crassostreae sp. nov., isolated from an oyster (Crassostrea hongkongensis)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2015
A novel Gram-stain-positive, motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, endospore-forming, facultatively anaerobic rod, designated strain JSM 100118T, was isolated from an oyster (Crassostrea hongkongensis) collected from the tidal flat of Naozhou Island in the South China Sea. Strain JSM 100118T was able to grow with 0–13 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 2–5 %), at

Transcriptome Analysis of Crassostrea sikamea (♀) × Crassostrea gigas (♂) Hybrids Under Hypoxia in Occluded Water

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Hypoxia is considered to be one of the key factors affecting the survival of ocean organisms, it is necessary to parse the molecular processes involved in response to hypoxia. As a potential breeding species, the hybrid of Crassostrea sikamea (♀) × Crassostrea gigas (♂) shows valuable heterosis in survival and growth traits.

Geochemical fractionation of trace elements in ostreid and gastropod shells: A potential proxy for heavy metal pollution in Ghana’s coastal environment

open access: yesEstudios Geologicos
The content of trace elements from Crassostrea tulipa (Ostreidae, Bivalvia) from four localities (Pra Estuary, Densu Estuary, Kpone Beach, and Anyanui Creek) along the coast of Ghana has been used as a bioindicator of environmental pollution. The lowest

Bio-inspired design of ice-retardant devices based on benthic marine invertebrates: the effect of surface texture

open access: yes, 2014
Growth of ice on surfaces poses a challenge for both organisms and for devices that come into contact with liquids below the freezing point. Resistance of some organisms to ice formation and growth, either in subtidal environments (e.g.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
