Chemical Component and Proteomic Study of the Amphibalanus (= Balanus) amphitrite Shell
As typical biofoulers, barnacles possess hard shells and cause serious biofouling problems. In this study, we analyzed the protein component of the barnacle Amphibalanus (= Balanus) amphitrite shell using gel-based proteomics. The results revealed 52 proteins in the A. Amphitrite shell. Among them, 40 proteins were categorized into 11 functional groups based on KOG database, and the remaining 1...
متن کاملBase plate mechanics of the barnacle Balanus amphitrite (=Amphibalanus amphitrite).
The mechanical properties of barnacle base plates were measured using a punch test apparatus, with the purpose of examining the effect that the base plate flexural rigidity may have on adhesion mechanics. Base plate compliance was measured for 43 Balanus amphitrite (=Amphibalanus amphitrite) barnacles. Compliance measurements were used to determine flexural rigidity (assuming a fixed-edge circu...
متن کاملSpectral Sensitivity of the Barnacle, Balanus amphitrite
The extracellular ocellar potential was used to evaluate the spectral sensitivity of the ocellus of the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite. Maximum relative sensitivity was at 530-540 nm. Studies with chromatic adapting lights suggest that the receptors contain a single photopigment. The spectra were relatively broader in the dark as compared to the light-adapted state. This effect was shown to be du...
متن کاملBalanus amphitrite from planktonic food
We determined the assimilation efficiencies (AEs) and efflux rate constants of Cd, Cr, and Se in barnacles Balanus amphitrite feeding on &verse planktonic prey. The measured AEs of Cd, Cr. and Se for zooplankton prey (brine shrimp Artemia salina larvae and copepods Canthocalanuspauper and Temora turbinata) were 53 to 88, 32 to 59, and 63 to 76%, respectively, and for diatom diets were 35 to 86,...
متن کاملsiRNA transfection in larvae of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite.
RNA interference (RNAi) provides an efficient and specific technique for functional genomic studies. Yet, no successful application of RNAi has been reported in barnacles. In this study, siRNA against p38 MAPK was synthesized and then transfected into A. amphitrite larvae at either the nauplius or cyprid stage, or at both stages. Effects of siRNA transfection on the p38 MAPK level were hardly d...
