Intracellular pH measurements in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

open access: yes, 2020
Intracellular pH was measured using the dye BCECF (live cell imaging) in the mantle epithelial cells of the Pacific oyster (C. gigas). Intracellular pH was measured under the presence of modified seawater solutions (low sodium, low bicarbonate) and ...

A Rhodopsin-Like Gene May Be Associated With the Light-Sensitivity of Adult Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
Light-sensitivity is important for mollusc survival, as it plays a vital role in reproduction and predator avoidance. Light-sensitivity has been demonstrated in the adult Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, but the genes associated with light-sensitivity ...
