Welcome! If you are familiar with the subject of this article, you can contribute to this open access knowledge base by deleting incorrect information, restructuring or completely rewriting any text. Read more.

Disease relevance of Bivalvia

Sensitivity of juvenile Macomona liliana (bivalvia) to UV-photoactivated fluoranthene toxicity [1].

High impact information on Bivalvia

Mucins and molluscan calcification. Molecular characterization of mucoperlin, a novel mucin-like protein from the nacreous shell layer of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis (Bivalvia, pteriomorphia) [2].
All of them have a very similar amino acid composition, following what seems to be the general composition prototype for the class Bivalvia (Ausió, J. (1986) Comp. Biochem. Physiol. B Comp. Biochem. 85, 439-449) [3].
Evolution of a unique mitotype-specific protein-coding extension of the cytochrome c oxidase II gene in freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionoida) [4].
Unique evolution of Bivalvia arginine kinases [5].
A 2500-nucleotide pair (ntp) sequence of F-type mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the Pacific Rim mussel Mytilus californianus (class Bivalvia, phylum Mollusca) that contains two complete (ND2 and ND3) and two partial (COI and COIII) protein genes and nine tRNA genes is presented [6].

Biological context of Bivalvia

Genetic diversity of oceanic island Lasaea (Mollusca: Bivalvia) lineages exceeds that of continental populations in the northwestern Atlantic [7].

Associations of Bivalvia with chemical compounds

Teredinibacter turnerae gen. nov., sp. nov., a dinitrogen-fixing, cellulolytic, endosymbiotic gamma-proteobacterium isolated from the gills of wood-boring molluscs (Bivalvia: Teredinidae) [8].
Purification and properties of alanopine dehydrogenase from the adductor muscle of the oyster, Crassostrea gigas (Mollusca, Bivalvia) [9].
Cadmium effects on mitochondrial function are enhanced by elevated temperatures in a marine poikilotherm, Crassostrea virginica Gmelin (Bivalvia: Ostreidae) [10].
Mantle-shell complex reactions elicited by digenean metacercariae in Gaimardia trapesina (Bivalvia: Gaimardiidae) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean and Magellan Strait [11].
Sublethal energetic responses by Pisidium amnicum (Bivalvia) exposed to pentachlorophenol at two temperatures [12].

Gene context of Bivalvia

Phosphofructokinase was purified from muscle tissue of two different molluscs, edible snails, Helix pomatia (gastropoda), and mussels, Mytilus edulis (bivalvia) [13].
Characterization of the gill symbiont of Thyasira flexuosa (Thyasiridae: Bivalvia) by use of polymerase chain reaction and 16S rRNA sequence analysis [14].
Phylogenetic analysis of the subclass Pteriomorphia (Bivalvia) from mtDNA COI sequences [15].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bivalvia

Metal accumulation, filtration and O(2) uptake rates in the mussel Perna perna (Mollusca: Bivalvia) exposed to Hg(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) [16].
