Bivalvia

In Mollusca, bioluminescence occurs in a great variety of organisms having distinctly different appearances, such as the classes Gastropoda (limpets, snails and sea hares), Bivalvia (clams), and Cephalopoda (squids and octopuses). All luminous molluscs currently known are marine organisms, except the New Zealand fresh water limpet Latia neritoides and the Malaysian land snail Quantula (Dyakia) striata. No information is yet available on the biochemical aspects of the Quantula luminescence. [Pg.180]

Bivalvia. The bivalve Pholas is historically important because the concept of luciferin-luciferase reaction was established with this clam (Dubois, 1887). It is the only bivalve that is well known and biochemically investigated. The details of the Pholas bioluminescence are given in Section 6.2. [Pg.181]

In a review of feeding and digestion in the Bivalvia [37], it was proposed that the accumulation of metal-bound particulates in the digestive gland was a two-phase process reflecting extracellular and intracellular digestion, and Viarengo [87] has reached similar conclusions. In a pulse chase study of the uptake of radiolabelled metals (Ag, Cd, Cr, Hg, Se) by the zebra mussel Dreissena... [Pg.382]
