Revisiting the adhesion mechanism of mussel-inspired chemistry

open access: yesChemical Science, 2022
Mussel-inspired chemistry has become an ideal platform to engineer a myriad of functional materials, but fully understanding the underlying adhesion mechanism is still missing.

Phylogenetic Assessment of Freshwater Mussels Castalia ambigua and C. inflata at an Ecotone in the Paraguay River Basin, Brazil Shows That Inflated and Compressed Shell Morphotypes Are the Same Species

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
The phylogeny and taxonomy of freshwater mussels of the genus Castalia in South America is complicated by issues of morphological plasticity and limited molecular genetic data.

Inorganic Elements in Mytilus galloprovincialis Shells: Geographic Traceability by Multivariate Analysis of ICP-MS Data

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The international seafood trade is based on food safety, quality, sustainability, and traceability. Mussels are bio-accumulative sessile organisms that need regular control to guarantee their safe consumption.

Analysis of the Dynamics of Marine Structures and Species with Criterial Mathematical Models

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
The influence of the area of artificial substrates (collectors) on the biological parameters of populations of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck) during their cultivation in the Black Sea has been investigated.

Extraction, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of Chitosan from Horse Mussel Modiolus modiolus

open access: yesACS Omega, 2020
Chitin and chitosan have been proved to have enormous applications in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields. The horse mussel, Modiolus modiolus, a refuse of the fishery industries at Thondi, is a reserve of rich chitin.

A Survey on the Distribution of Ovothiol and ovoA Gene Expression in Different Tissues and Cells: A Comparative Analysis in Sea Urchins and Mussels

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2022
Ovothiols are histidine-derived thiols produced by a variety of marine invertebrates, protists and bacteria. These compounds, which are among the strongest natural antioxidants, are involved in controlling the cellular redox balance due to their redox ...

Glochidia ecology in wild fish populations and laboratory determination of competent host fishes for an endemic freshwater mussel of south-western Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Glochidia (parasitic larvae) of freshwater mussels generally require a fish as a host. Westralunio carteri Iredale, 1934 (Bivalvia : Hyriidae), the only freshwater mussel found in south-western Australia, was listed as Vulnerable, but recently changed to

Population dynamics of subtidal blue mussels Mytilus edulis and the impact of cultivation

open access: yesAquaculture Environment Interactions, 2017
Fishery on subtidal mussel beds and subsequent relying on culture plots in the same system is a common practice in bottom mussel culture. We address factors that determine the population dynamics of subtidal blue mussels Mytilus edulis L.

Using mussel as a global bioindicator of coastal microplastic pollution.

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2019
The ubiquity and high bioavailability of microplastics have an unknown risk on the marine environment. Biomonitoring should be used to investigate biotic impacts of microplastic exposure.

Recent progress in synthesis and application of mussel-inspired adhesives.

open access: yesNanoscale, 2020
The rapid and robust adhesion of marine mussels to diverse solid surfaces in wet environments is mediated by the secreted mussel adhesive proteins which are abundant in a catecholic amino acid, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa).
