Our findings corroborate the specialized roles of hemocytes and the OME in biomineralization and emphasize complexity of the biological controls over shell formation in bivalves. Fig. 4.

The second postulate has already been confirmed by pressure changes in the ventricle, the auricles and the pericardium observed for a bivalve ( A. anatina ) ( Brand, 1972 ) and gastropod ( P. vulgata ) ( Jones, 1970 ) species. Changes...

...Glenn Lurman; Johanna Walter; Hans H. Hoppeler For low-energy organisms such as bivalves, the costs of thermal compensation of biological rates (synonymous with acclimation or acclimatization) may be higher than the benefits. We therefore conducted two experiments to examine the effect of seasonal...

These results reveal that, without verification of the shares of proteasomal and non-proteasomal activities in crude extracts through the use of highly specific inhibitors, common proteasomal enzyme assays should be used and interpreted with caution.
