Functional Analyses of MMPs for Aragonite Crystal Formation in the Ligament of Pinctada fucata [PDF]
The mollusk class, Bivalvia, plays an important role in the formation of calcium carbonate in the ocean. The bivalve hinge ligament is a hard but pliant tissue that resists the stress placed on the hinge during opening and closing. The ligament comprises

Effects of hydrocarbons on reproductive physiology of the pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata
, 1996 There are a lot of evidence that show hvdrocarbones cause some defect in reproduction and growth of bivalves. Bivalves are filter-feeder, thus accumulate more hydrocarbones in their tissue. In this study adult pearl producing oysters (Pinctada fucata) are used for all experimens.

In order to understand growth features of pearl oysters in the genus Pinctada, i.e. Pinctada fucata, Pinctada margaritifera, and Pinctada sugillata in Taiwan, a total of 3062 wild individuals of these species from juvenile to adult were collected monthyly from March 2001 to April 2002 in Jukeng, Pingtung County, south-west Taiwan.

Immunomodulatory effects of decitabine in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii
Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2022Decitabine (DAC), an inhibitor of DNA methyltransferase, is typically used to reverse DNA methylation and is considered an epigenetic modifying drug. DNA methylation is crucial to the regulation of gene expression without altering genetic information.

Genetic structure and polymorphisms of the N16 gene in Pinctada fucata
Gene, 2012The molluscan shell is a composite of inorganic crystals comprising calcium carbonate and a minute amount of organic matrix. The organic matrix (OM) is intimately involved in every step of shell formation and has consequently received much attention in recent years. However, most of the deposited information has resulted from cDNA analysis, with little

Arsenic compounds accumulated in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata
Chemosphere, 2003We investigated the water-soluble arsenic compounds present in the soft tissues of both the pearl-free and the pearl-containing pearl oysters. After dividing the soft tissue into five parts, i.e., adductor muscle, foot, mantle, viscera and gill, each part was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass ...

Ecological Study on Biomineralization in Pinctada fucata
2018Pinctada fucata inhabits in tropical and subtropical seas, so the sea water conditions have great impacts on its growth and shell formation. To determine the potential effects of global climate change and the water pollution on the oyster growth in the near future, we have conducted a series of studies about the metabolism and shell formation of P ...

Expression of genes responsible for biomineralization of Pinctada fucata during development
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2010This study compares the expression levels of nacrein, N16, MSI60, Prismalin-14, aspein and MSI31 genes during the ontogeny of Pinctada fucata. Several novel findings were obtained: 1) The early calcitic prismatic layer was distinguished as a thin membrane-like structure.
