State of the art of trace metal detection in the mediterranean coastal marine environment, combinatorial approach using mytilus galloprovincialis and surface sediments [PDF]
This literature review focuses on the use of Mytilus galloprovincialis, a common Mediterranean bivalve, as a bio-indicator for the detection of trace metals in the Mediterranean coastal marine environment.

Fatty acids composition of actinobacteria isolated from mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis of the Black Sea Odesa Bay [PDF]
Analysis of the fatty acid composition of total cellular lipids is important chemotaxonomic characteristic that is used to identify microorganisms, in particular actinobacteria, with the help of fatty acid spectra libraries. Actinobacteria are well known

Sequence-Based Analysis of Thermal Adaptation and Protein Energy Landscapes in an Invasive Blue Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis). [PDF]
Adaptive responses to thermal stress in poikilotherms plays an important role in determining competitive ability and species distributions. Amino acid substitutions that affect protein stability and modify the thermal optima of orthologous proteins may ...

Transcriptomic effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug Ibuprofen in the marine bivalve Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam [PDF]
The transcriptomic effects of Ibuprofen (IBU) in the digestive gland tissue of Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. specimens exposed at low environmental concentrations (250 ng L-1) are presented. Using a 1.7 K feature cDNA microarray along with linear models

Marine bivalve geochemistry and shell ultrastructure from modern low pH environments [PDF]
. Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from different shell layers in the mussels Mytilus ...

Protamine-like proteins have bactericidal activity. The first evidence in Mytilus galloprovincialis. [PDF]
The major acid-soluble protein components of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis sperm chromatin consist of the protamine-like proteins PL-II, PL-III and PL-IV, an intermediate group of sperm nuclear basic proteins between histones and protamines.

Biogeographical patterns of endolithic infestation in an invasive and an indigenous intertidal marine ecosystem engineer [PDF]
By altering the phenotypic properties of their hosts, endolithic parasites can modulate the engineering processes of marine ecosystem engineers. Here, we assessed the biogeographical patterns of species assemblages, prevalence and impact of endolithic ...

Stress related epigenetic changes may explain opportunistic success in biological invasions in Antipode mussels [PDF]
Different environmental factors could induce epigenetic changes, which are likely involved in the biological invasion process. Some of these factors are driven by humans as, for example, the pollution and deliberate or accidental introductions and others
