Metallothioneins in the clam Ruditapes decussatus: an overview [PDF]
Analusis, 2000 coastal waters. Due to its economic importance it is extensively cultured in many countries, and particularly in Portugal where its production represents > 80 % of total shellfish production. The selection of the clam R. decussatus as a bioindicator was a consequence of its economic importance and the need to use a filter-feeding bivalve to evaluate ...

Marine pollution by some heavy metals and physiological response of Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]
Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2018 Bivalves can accumulate toxicants such as heavy metals in their tissues, for this reason, they are considered as good bio-indicators for water quality. The risk is increased due to eating these clams raw or lightly cooked.

An infection of Ruditapes decussatus (Bivalvia) by Rickettsia [PDF]
Aquaculture, 1987 The authors report the presence of a Rickettsia in Ruditapes decussatus from natural populations of the Algarve (Portugal). Light microscopic shows infections of varying importance in gill tissues. Some enclose small procaryotic colonies (cp) scattered in all lamellae; in others, the colonies are scarce and hypertrophic (100 mu m).

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2020 Bacterial pathogens cause disease-associated mortality in Ruditapes decussatus, a model bivalve for aquaculture in Egypt. In this study, it was hypothesized that trained immunity could be achieved to enhance disease resistance against Micrococcus luteus ...

Comparative Assessment of Fatty Acids in Clams From Capo Peloro Lagoon (Sicily). [PDF]
Food Sci NutrThe total fat content and fatty acid profile were evaluated in three species of edible clam (R. decussatus, P. aureus and C. glaucum) from the Capo Peloro and Oliveri‐Tindari lagoons in Sicily, as well as in R. decussatus from two Sardinian lagoons. All species exhibited a high saturated fatty acid content, a good level of DHA, and high‐quality lipids.

Isolation and characterisation of metallothionein from the clam Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]
Aquatic Toxicology, 2003 Metallothioneins (MT) were obtained after purification from metal-exposed clams (Ruditapes decussatus) using gel-permeation and ion-exchange chromatography. Four cadmium-metallothioneins (CdMTs) were resolved by ion-exchange chromatography and they all had similar molecular weights, high cadmium content and an absorption spectra indicative of the ...

Ubiquitination and carbonylation as markers of oxidative-stress in Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]
Marine Environmental Research, 2008 Environmental pollutants, such as metals, are widespread in aquatic environments and can lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are highly toxic in marine species since they can cause serious reversible and irreversible changes in proteins including ubiquitination and modifications such as carbonylation. This study aimed to confirm

Effect of TBT on Ruditapes decussatus juveniles
Chemosphere, 2006 The effects of sublethal concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) on growth of juvenile clams Ruditapes decussatus were determined during exposure to TBT concentrations of 50, 100 and 250 ng l(-1) (as Sn) for a period up to two years. Length and weight of clams increased continuously in all treatments throughout the experimental period, and, overall, rates ...
