    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Computational modelling of wet adhesive mussel foot proteins (Bivalvia): Insights into the evolutionary convolution in diverse perspectives P. P. Anand & Y. Shibu Vardhanan Underwater adhesion in mussels (Bivalvia) is an extreme adaptation to achieve robust and frm wet adhesion in the freshwater/brackish/ocean, which biochemically shaped through millions of years. The protein-based adhesion has huge prospective in various felds like industry, medical, etc. Currently, no comprehensive records related to the systematic documentation of structural and functional properties of Mussel foot proteins (Mfps). In this study, we identifed the nine species of bivalves in which the complete sequence of at least one adhesive protein is known. The insilico characterization revealed the specifc physio-chemical structural and functional characters of each Mfps. The evolutionary analyses of selected bivalves are mainly based on Mfps, Mitogenome, and TimeTree. The outcome of the works has great applications for designing biomimetic materials in future. Some groups of mussels are capable to produce proteinaceous glue- like sticky material known as byssus thread made by an array of foot proteins (fps). Tis byssus contains mainly four parts i.e. Plaque, thread, stem, and root. Individual threads proximally merged together to form stem and base of the stem (root) deeply anchored at the base of animal foot. Each byssus threads terminating distally with a fattened plaque which mediates adhesion to the substratum1–4. Each part of the byssus thread complex formed by the auto-assembly of secretory products originating from four distinct glands enclosed in the mussel foot4,5. Tese mussel foot protein (Mfps), mastered the ability to binding the diverse substratum by using adhesive plaques.

MASTALLER Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Lehrstuhl für Spez. Zoologie Bochum, West-Germany With one text-figure and one table ABSTRACT This study summarizes field observations and collections of the molluscan fauna of the coastal and offshore reefs in the area of Port Sudan, Central Red Sea. In spite of the fact that some families of this group were described from several areas of the Red Sea, there exists only little information on the entire faunal composition of this region. 282 species of Amphineura, Gastropoda, and Bivalvia, collected and studied in nine localities are listed according to their habitats. Moreover, descriptions of the prominent members of typical molluscan assemblages are given for 13 habitats and microhabitats which differ in their morphological structures and in their hydrographic and physiographic conditions. Emphasis is placed on further studies on the trophic interactions within certain habitats. INTRODUCTION Although there is a considerable number of taxonomie literature on some molluscan families in the Indo-West-Padfic (Abbott, i960; Burgess, 1970; Cernohorsky, 1967; Habe, 1964; Kira, 1962; Powell, 1964; Rosewater, 1965), there is comparatively scarce information for the Red Sea. After the exten• sive surveys and descriptions of Issel, 1869, Hall & Standen, 1907, Jickeli, 1874, Shopland, 1902, and Sturany, 1901, 1903, in more recent times only a few studies were published on the entire faunal composition of molluscs in this region. Most of these publications deal with certain families, sometimes they also give information about their zoogeographical distribution in the Red Sea: Thus the cypraeids seem to yield the best information on their occurrence throughout the region (Foin, 1972; Mienis, 1971b; O'Malley, 1971; Schilder, 1965).

  • Zoobenthic Biodiversity, Biomass and Abundance at Adelaide Island, Antarctica
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 249: 145–155, 2003 Published March 10 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Zoobenthic biodiversity, biomass and abundance at Adelaide Island, Antarctica David K. A. Barnes1,*, Simon Brockington2 1Biological Sciences Division, British Antarctic Survey, Natural Environment Research Council, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0ET, United Kingdom 2Svitzer Ltd, Morton Peto Road, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NR31 0LT, United Kingdom ABSTRACT: The waters surrounding Antarctica are amongst the most isolated large areas of conti- nental shelf, cut off for about 15 to 30 million yr by both deep water and the oceanographic barrier of the Polar Frontal Zone (PFZ). Although certain taxa are notably absent, shelf seabed richness (of the mostly endemic species) can be very high. Most of Antarctica’s shallow shelf lies between 67 and 72° S, although virtually all the growing southern polar marine biology literature has been carried out to the north or south of this. Here we report one of the first, and the most detailed, quantitative stud- ies of benthic faunal abundance, diversity and biomass from within this latitudinal belt (at Adelaide Island, Antarctic Peninsula). Representatives of 16 phyla, 25 classes, 34 orders and at least 75 species were found in the 40 samples of 0.25 m2 area. This is rich, especially for polar localities described to date. Faunal abundance increased logarithmically from <100 to >10 000 individuals m–2 from the intertidal to 35 m respectively. Annelids and bryozoans were the most numerous, and cryptofauna (such as these 2 phyla) exerted a major influence on both patterns and absolute values of diversity.

  • Macrobenthos Community in the Littoral Zone Water Area of Iboih Beach Sabang, Aceh
    Macrobenthos Community in the Littoral Zone Water Area of Iboih Beach Sabang, Aceh Rita Oktavia1, Nurdian Amin2 1Biology Education Study Program in College of STKIP Bina Bangsa Meulaboh 2Biology Education Study Program at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training in Islamic State University of Ar-Raniry [email protected] Abstract: The aim of this study is to know the macrobenthos community in the littoral zone water area of Iboih beach, Aceh. Sample collection is conducted by using plot size of 1 x 1 meter, destructive sampling and non-destructive sampling methods. The results shows that macrobenthos inventory on Rubiah Island in Sabang, Aceh with destructive sampling methods is amounted to 8 species from 5 families, while Benthos obtained from non-destructive sampling methods is amounted to 8 species from 6 families. Macrobenthos inventory on the water of natural tourism area of Iboih beach Sabang. Diversity index is moderate with H '= 1.22061, and non-destructive value H' = 1.31391. Includes the category of moderate diversity. In Payau waters with destructive H'= 1.74816, nondestructive with a value of H' = 1.7104. Has a moderate diversity index. Macroentent inventory of the Teupin Layeu Mangrove Waters of Sabang City found 27 and 29 species of benthos. Among them (Meretrik meretrik) is amounted to 44, (Anadara cunearca) is amounted to 36 and many other species. With species diversity H'= 3, 2114 indicates a high level of species diversity. Keywords: Macrobenthos; Litoral zone water; Iboih beach. I. Introduction Aceh has a wealth of macrobenthos and macrobenthos aquatic organisms. Some of which have been surveyed include the white sand waters of Lhok Mee Aceh Besar found in various invertebrates, that is Gastropod Class, Holothuroidea, Sea urchin (Diadema, Sp), Chiton, sp.
