The chitin synthase involved in marine bivalve mollusk shell formation contains a myosin domain [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 Chitin is a key component in mollusk nacre formation. However, the enzyme complex responsible for chitin deposition in the mollusk shell remained unknown. We cloned and characterized the chitin synthase of the marine bivalve mollusk Atrina rigida.

Malacoherpesviruses of Mollusks
2016Herpesviruses have attracted particular research attention during the past 30 years because of their economic and ecological impact on cultured and wild marine mollusks. The first description of a virus from a marine mollusk indicating membership to the order Herpesvirales was reported in Eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica.

Ecomechanics of mollusks’ radula
BiointerphasesMollusks, and their particularly diverse class Gastropoda, owe much of their ecological success due to the evolution of their radula—a specialized feeding apparatus. This structure, composed of a chitinous membrane and sometimes mineralized teeth, plays a critical role in food acquisition and processing across a wide range of habitats.
