Examining Potential Active Tempering of Adhesive Curing by Marine Mussels

Biomimetics, 2017
Mussels generate adhesives for staying in place when faced with waves and turbulence of the intertidal zone. Their byssal attachment assembly consists of adhesive plaques connected to the animal by threads.

Fish and mussels: Importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation [PDF]

Fish and Fisheries, 2017
AbstractCo‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of potential impacts and causal mechanisms responsible for the decline of affiliate (dependent) species.

The Transcriptome of <em>Bathymodiolus azoricus</em> Gill Reveals Expression of Genes from Endosymbionts and Free-Living Deep-Sea Bacteria

Marine Drugs, 2012
Deep-sea environments are largely unexplored habitats where a surprising number of species may be found in large communities, thriving regardless of the darkness, extreme cold, and high pressure.

Cloning, expression and purification of the α-carbonic anhydrase from the mantle of the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
We cloned, expressed, purified, and determined the kinetic constants of the recombinant α-carbonic anhydrase (rec-MgaCA) identified in the mantle tissue of the bivalve Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis.
