In this study, we characterize the structural variation of microbiota Mytilus galloprovincialis at tissue scale, also exploring connection with microbial ecosystem surrounding water. Mussels were sampled within a farm located in North-Western Adriatic Sea and composition was analyzed gills, hemolymph, digestive glands, stomach foot by Next Generation Sequencing marker gene approach. showed distinctive structure, specific declinations level. Indeed, each is characterized distinct pattern...

Marine mussels, especially Mytilus galloprovincialis, are well-established sentinel species, being naturally resistant to the exposure multiple xenobiotics of natural and anthropogenic origin. Even if response xenobiotic is well known at host level, role mussel-associated microbiome in animal environmental pollution poorly explored, despite its potential detoxification important development, protection, adaptation. Here, we characterized microbiome-host integrative M. galloprovincialis a...

Plastic pollution is nowadays a relevant threat for the ecological balance in marine ecosystems. Small plastic debris (PD) can enter food webs through various organisms, with possible consequences on their physiology and health. The loggerhead sea turtle ( Caretta caretta ), widespread across whole Mediterranean Sea, “flagship species,” useful as indicator of general level Ingested PD accumulate final section turtles’ digestive tract before excretion. During transit accumulation, also...

The multixenobiotic resistance system (MXR) allows aquatic organisms to cope with their habitat despite high pollution levels by over-expressing membrane and intracellular transporters, including the P-glycoprotein (Pgp). In mammals transcription of ABCB1 gene encoding Pgp is under cAMP/PKA-mediated regulation; whether this true in mollusks not fully clarified.cAMP/PKA regulation ABCB mRNA expression were assessed haemocytes from Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) exposed vivo...
