Are molecular chaperone proteins used during salinity adaptation in the ribbed mussel
Meeting Abstract P1.52 Saturday, Jan. 4 15:30 Are molecular chaperone proteins used during salinity adaptation in the ribbed mussel? KAPPER, M.A.; Central Connecticut State University kapper@ccsu.edu One of the most important abiotic stressors faced by osmoconforming estuarine invertebrates is the tidal fluctuation of environmental salinity. As environmental salinity changes, these organisms adapt by modifying intracellular free amino […]
