The combined effects of temperature and salinity on the digestion and respiration metabolism of Pinctada fucata. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 AbstractThe combined effects of temperature and salinity on the digestion and respiration metabolism of Pinctada fucata were evaluated via response surface methodology and box-benhnken design under laboratory condition. Results indicated that the primary and secondary effects of salinity and temperature had significant effects on amylase (AMS) of P ...

In Vivo/In Vitro Properties of Novel Antioxidant Peptide from Pinctada fucata. [PDF]
J Microbiol Biotechnol, 2021 Due to the potential of antioxidants to scavenge free radicals in human body, it is important to be able to prepare antioxidant peptides that meet the industrial requirements for cosmetics and food. Here, we determined in vivo/in vitro activities of antioxidant peptide from P. fucata (PFAOP) prepared by bio-fermentation method. The antioxidant property

Hemocytes in the extrapallial space of Pinctada fucata are involved in immunity and biomineralization. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 AbstractIn bivalves, the mantle tissue secretes organic matrix and inorganic ions into the extrapallial space (EPS) to form the shells. In addition, more and more evidences indicate the participation of hemocytes in shell mineralization, but no direct evidence has been reported that verifies the presence of hemocytes in the EPS, and their exact roles ...
