Antifouling activity of Indian marine invertebrate against the green mussel Perna viridis L.
(Springer, 1998)Thirty-one species of marine invertebrates collected from the Indian Coast, belonging to six phyla (Porifera, Coelenterata, Annelida, Mollusca, Echinodermata, and Eurochordata) were tested for antifouling activity against ... -
Antioxidative potential of Perna viridis and its protective role against ROS induced lipidperoxidation and protein carbonyl
(Association of Biotechnology and pharmacy, 2010)The antioxidant potential of methanol extracts of green-lipped mussel (Perna viridis) were evaluated using tests such as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, reducing potential, scavenging capacity of reactive oxygen ... -
Application of oxidative stress indices in natural populations of Perna viridis as biomarker of environmental pollution
(Elsevier, 2009)Oxidative stress indices were measured in gills and digestive glands of Perna viridis collected from three coastal locations in Goa i.e., Bambolim, Marmugao Harbour and Malim. In addition to lipid peroxidation, the activities ... -
Cultivation of green mussel, Perna viridis L., on a floating raft in an estuary along the west coast of India
(Elsevier, 1993)Total production of green mussels, Perna viridis, grown on a raft (16 m sup(2)) for 1 year was 2144.64 kg and biomass (meat weight) was 1040.00 kg. Annual production (P) and biomass (B) estimated were 33.51 and 16.25 kg m ... -
Cytogenetic studies in green mussel, Perna viridis (Mytiloida: Pteriomorphia), from West Coast of India
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)Chromosomes of Perna viridis were characterized by karyotype analysis, C-banding and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). The diploid chromosome number was confirmed as 30 and the karyotype is composed of ten metacentric ... -
Environmental physiology of raft-grown mussels in Goa, India
(Elsevier, 1982)Mussels (@iPerna viridis@@ L.) transplanted from a marine intertidal region and grown under water in the estuarine environment (on a floating raft) display a wide array of physiological adaptations in growth, osmoregulation ... -
Extract of Indian green mussel, Perna viridis (L.) shows inhibition of blood capillary formation in vitro
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)The extract of the Indian green mussel (Perna viridis L.) was found to inhibit the formation of endothelial cell capillary tube in a concentration dependent manner in vitro. At a concentration of 5 mg/ml of crude extract, ... -
Growth of the green mussel, Perna viridis L., in a sea water circulating system
(Elsevier, 1984)Growth of the green mussel, P. viridis L., was studied in a sea water circulating system for 12 months. The maximum growth rate was recorded during March - May, coinciding with the maximum abundance of phytoplankton. The ... -
Identification of lysozyme activity from two edible bivalves - Perna viridis (Linnaeus) and Meretrix casta (Chemnitz)
(Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, 2009)Lysozyme activity of two commercially important edible bivalves, namely Perna viridis (Linnaeus) and Meretrix casta (Chemnitz), was analyzed against Micrococcus luteus. The results of this study indicated that the extract, ... -
Modulation of antioxidant and biotransformation enzymes in the gills of Perna viridis (L.) exposed to water accomodate fraction of diesel
(IOS Press, 2007)Investigations on the effect of oils on the oxidative stress and antioxidant molecules in gills of Perna viridis were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. For this purpose water accommodate fraction of diesel ... -
Modulation of antioxidant defences in digestive gland of Perna viridis (L.), on mercury exposures
(Elsevier, 2008)Sub-lethal effects of mercury exposure (1/10 th of LC sub(50), i.e. 0.045 mg l sup(-1)) for 5, 10 and 15 d was investigated on oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant defences in digestive gland of Perna viridis. In ... -
Proximate biochemical composition and caloric potential in the raft-grown green mussel Perna viridis
(Marine Biological Association of India, 1995)The biochemical components of the mussel tissue, cultured on the raft were estimated. The range of variation in the content of moisture, protein, carbohydrates, lipid, organic carbon and ash were 66.8-90.1; 46.2-67.4; ... -
Radioprotection against DNA damage by an extract of Indian green mussel, Perna viridis (L.)
(Begell House, 2007)This study describes the radioprotective ability of a hydrolysate prepared using an enzymeacid hydrolysis method from the green mussel Perna viridis in terms of its ability to prevent radiation-induced damage in plasmid ... -
Seasonal variation of major elements (Ca, Mg) and trace metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn) and cultured mussel Perna viridis L. and seawater in the Dona Paula Bay, Goa
(NISCAIR, CSIR, 1998)The major elements and trace metals were analysed from nussel tissue and the seawater taken from three depths (0, 5 and 9 meters) from the culture site. Range of variation in Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn were 226-399; 708-1329; ... -
