Xenobiotic biotransformation in the pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1989
1. Oyster visceral mass and gill tissues possessed measurable flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) activity. 2. FMO activity was confirmed in visceral mass microsomes by oxygen uptake experiments utilizing various nitrogen and sulfur-containing chemicals along with measurement of N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) N-oxidase and methimazole oxidation activities.

The Naturalization of the Pacific Oyster in Australia

Marine and Freshwater Research, 1959
The pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, has been successfully transplanted from Japan to southern Australia. Mortality was heavy amongst those transported by ship (20 days out of water), but negligible amongst those brought in by air (4 days out of water). The rate of growth has been greater than that of native oysters.

Bindin genes of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas

Gene, 2008
When Crassostrea gigas oyster sperm acrosome react a ring of bindin protein is exposed that bonds the sperm to the egg vitelline envelope. The putative functional unit of bindin is a fucose lectin (F-lectin) domain that is structurally conserved among phyla. There is only one bindin gene in C.

Trace elements in the Pacific oyster in Hong Kong

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1982
The concentrations of six trace elements (arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, and zinc) were determined in samples of the Pacific oyster,Crassostrea gigas, taken from a retail market and from a local culture area. Concentrations of arsenic, mercury, and particularly cadmium, were frequently greater in samples purchased at the market than in those ...

Ecophysiology of the Olympia Oyster, Ostrea lurida, and Pacific Oyster, Crassostrea gigas

Estuaries and Coasts, 2017
The native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, was once abundant in many US Pacific Northwest (PNW) estuaries, but was decimated by human activity in the late nineteenth early to twentieth centuries. Having been the subject of only few modern, detailed studies, a dearth of basic physiological information surrounded O.

Genomics of the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas

2003
Mapping and sequencing of the biologically significant genes in the oyster genome will provide an invaluable information to the basic fishery sciences as well as the development of new biotechnologies necessary to improve the oyster farming. Thus, we initiated the genomic analysis of the Pacific oyster C.

Kraft mill effluent and the Pacific oyster

2010
Studies were undertaken to determine the effect of Kraft mill effluent (KME) on a representative species of the aquatic environment. By transplanting a population of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) to the Port Mellon area (the site of a Kraft mill), the effect of varying concentrations (on a distance from the mill basis) of the pulp mill waste was ...
