Purification and characterization of aminopeptidase from Euphausia superba. [PDF]
Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1984 Krill aminopeptidase was purified about, 1,100-fold from an extract of Euphausia superba with DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, Toyopearl HW55, and hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The final preparation was electrophoretically homogeneous.

Hydrodynamics of the fast-start caridoid escape response in Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans with a high degree of mobility and variety of documented swimming behaviors. The caridoid escape response, a fast-start mechanism unique to crustaceans, occurs when the animal performs a series of rapid abdominal ...

Cloning and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Euphausia superba. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciChitin deacetylase (CDA) can catalyze the deacetylation of chitin to produce chitosan. In this study, we identified and characterized a chitin deacetylase gene from Euphausia superba (EsCDA-9k), and a soluble recombinant protein chitin deacetylase from Euphausia superba of molecular weight 45 kDa was cloned, expressed, and purified.
