Isolation and structural characterization of bioactive glycosaminoglycans from the green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus
Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2022 Apr 25;612:50-56. doi: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.04.095. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChondroitin sulfate (CS) and heparan sulfate (HS) are sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains that consist of repeating disaccharide units composed of hexosamine and hexuronic acid. GAG chains exhibit diverse bioactivities in a structure-specific manner. Marine invertebrates are a rich source of highly sulfated and rare structures of GAG chains. Here, we isolated GAGs from the green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus, an aquaculture species that is produced on a large scale. We separated GAGs based on the degree o...

Transcriptome analysis reveals sex-specific alterations in gonads of green mussel exposed to organophosphorus insecticide triazophos
Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol. 2022 Mar 26:109333. doi: 10.1016/j.cbpc.2022.109333. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTriazophos (TP) is a widespread pollutant in aquatic environments. A sex-specific metabolic response in green-lipped mussel Perna viridis to TP exposure was observed in our previous study, and this led us to investigate the mechanisms associated with its toxicity. P. viridis were subjected to chronic exposure (15 days) to TP at 35 μg/L to compare the sex-biased transcriptomic profiles in the gonads of male and female mussels. We identified 632 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (348 up-regulated ...

Characterization of the effects of triclosan on sperm and embryos of Mytilus and Perna mussel species
Aquat Toxicol. 2022 Feb 4;245:106107. doi: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2022.106107. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Greenshell™ mussel (GSM), Perna canaliculus, is a culturally and commercially important species in New Zealand. Declines in spat settlement of GSM have been observed in important growing areas and the cause(s) have not been identified. One hypothesis is that chemical contaminants could be a contributing factor. The aim to this study was to investigate the effects of acute exposure on early life stages using the anti-microbial triclosan (TCS) as a benchmark toxicant and the blue mussel (BM), Mytilus galloprovinciali...

Mapping the Green-Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Microbiome: A Multi-Tissue Analysis of Bacterial and Fungal Diversity
Curr Microbiol. 2022 Jan 29;79(3):76. doi: 10.1007/s00284-021-02758-5.ABSTRACTPoor health and mortality events of the commercially important and endemic New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) pose a threat to its industry. Despite the known importance of microbiomes to animal health and environmental resilience, the host-associated microbiome is unexplored in this species. We conducted the first baseline characterization of bacteria and fungi within key host tissues (gills, haemolymph, digestive gland, and stomach) using high-throughput amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and ITS1 region for bacteria and fung...
