Influence of Water Temperature on the MXR Activity and P-glycoprotein Expression in the Freshwater Snail, Physa acuta (Draparnaud, 1805) [PDF]

, 2017
P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated multixenobioticresistance (MXR) is a mechanism analogous to multidrug resistance, which has been extensivelycharacterized in mammalian tumours.

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Fish and Bivalve Therapeutants in Freshwater Mussel Captive Breeding—A First Summary of Practical Experiences in European Facilities

Diversity
A significant part of freshwater mussel populations has strongly declined and many species are severely threatened nowadays. Captive breeding programs often form a central part of conservation strategies. As the life cycles of many mussel species include

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as

Antioxidant activities of peptide fractions derived from freshwater mussel protein using ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2017
The freshwater mussel protein was hydrolysed using ultrasound-assisted enzymolysis. Ultrasound-assisted freshwater mussel protein hydrolysates (UPH) were divided into four fractions (> 10, 6-10, 3-6, and < 3 kDa) using ultrafiltration, and the ...

Rapid Clearance of Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae Spores by Freshwater Sponge Ephydatia muelleri: Potential Implications for Controlling Proliferative Kidney Disease in Salmonids

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Host–parasite interactions are influenced by both abiotic and biotic factors. While abiotic drivers, particularly temperature, have received considerable attention in recent years due to global climate change, the role of biotic factors remains comparatively underexplored.

The depressed river mussel Pseudanodonta complanata as an occasional host for the European bitterling Rhodeus amarus

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems
This study explores the utilisation of European freshwater mussels as hosts by the European bitterling (Rhodeus amarus) at their current sympatric occurrence range. Our study confirms Pseudanodonta complanata as a suitable, occasional host for bitterling.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Mussel eggs as indicators of mutagen exposure in coastal and estuarine environments [PDF]

, 1994
The aim of this study was to develop a short-term genotoxicity assay for monitoring the marine environment for mutagens. Based on the developing eggs and embryos of the marine mussel Mytilus edulis, an important pollution indicator species, the test ...
