An infection of Ruditapes decussatus (Bivalvia) by Rickettsia [PDF]
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).

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 ...

Isolation and characterisation of metallothionein from the clam Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]
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]
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

Abstract The stable nitrogen isotope composition of bivalve shell organics serves as a proxy for nitrogen fluxes in modern and past ecosystems. An essential prerequisite to reconstruct environmental variables from δ15N values of bivalve shells is to understand if pristine isotope signals can be retrieved from shell organics after sample pretreatment ...

Biomarkers inRuditapes decussatus: a potential bioindicator species
The clam Ruditapes decussatus is distributed worldwide and due to its ecological and economical interest has been proposed as a bioindicator in areas where mussels are not available. The accumulation of several anthropogenic compounds in their tissues suggests that they possess mechanisms that allow them to cope with the toxic effects of these ...
