Abstract Bivalve molluscs are very nutritious and an important source of human animal protein. To date, bivalve farming has contributed to about 15% the mean per capita protein intake approximate 1.5 billion people around world. Unfortunately, effects climate change, mainly global warming ocean acidification, have had many deleterious on aquaculture, not only leading mass mortalities bivalves in farms hatcheries, but also causing collapse natural populations. In response recurrent farmed...
The noble scallop Chlamys nobilis Reeve displays polymorphism in shell and muscle colors. Previous research showed that the orange scallops with had a significantly higher carotenoid content than brown ones white muscle. There is currently need to identify candidate genes associated carotenoid-based coloration. In present study, 454 GS-FLX sequencing of transcriptome yielded 1,181,060 clean sequence reads, which were assembled into 49,717 isotigs, leaving 110,158 reads as singletons. Of...
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) are essential in important physiological processes. However, the endogenous PUFA biosynthesis pathway is poorly understood marine bivalves. Previously, a acyl desaturase (Fad) with Δ5 activity was functionally characterized and an elongase termed Elovl2/5 reported to efficiently elongate 18:2n–6 18:3n–3 20:2n–6 20:3n–3 respectively Chlamys nobilis. In this study, another Fad were identified. Functional characterization recombinant yeast...
In the present study, hybrid and inbred oysters were produced by factorial hybridization between two closely related species, Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas Portuguese C. angulata. Tissues samples used for analysis of total lipid content (TLC) fatty acid composition (FAC). general, FAC but not TLC in was significantly different from oysters. Hybrid have lower ∑SFA higher ∑PUFA than oysters, with heterosis ∑SFA, ∑MUFA −6.03%, −6.53% 14.31% respectively. Moreover, EPA + DHA n3/n6 PUFA ratio...
The noble scallop Chlamys nobilis is an economically important marine bivalve cultivated in the southern sea of China since 1980s. Unfortunately, mass mortality this species often occurs summer. present study was conducted to investigate whether expression heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and level carotenoids could enhance high-temperature stress resistance scallop. First, HSP90 homolog C. (designated CnHSP90) identified cloned. complete cDNA sequence CnHSP90 2631 bp, including a 2181-bp open...
Many marine bivalves are regarded as healthy foods due to their high carotenoids content. Only plants and microorganisms have natural biosynthesis ability, Due the filter-feeding behavior of bivalves, they diversity gut microbes. However, relationship between microbes has not been explored in mollusks. In present study, interaction two polymorphic noble scallop Chlamys nobilis, golden scallops (designated GG) brown BW) were studied. The GG BW showed statistically different bacteria...
