  • Homeobox genes encode a family of transcription factors that have essential roles in regulating the development of eukaryotes. Although they have been extensively studied in different phyla, relatively little is known about homeobox-containing genes and their function in molluscs. In this study, we used a polymerase chain reaction to investigate homeobox genes in the bivalve mollusc Pecten maximus. Four different homeobox sequences were identified; two were homologues of the non-Hox cluster gene caudal and the two remaining sequences had a significant homology to the ANT-C gene proboscipedia. These sequences represent the first cad and pb homologues isolated from a member of the class Bivalvia, phylum Mollusca.

  • 진주는 유기질 보석의 일종으로서, 광산에서 발굴하는 보석이 아니라, 연체동물(Mollusc)의 내부에서 생광물화(biomineralization)의 결과로 얻어지는 고부가가치 상품이다. 이러한 진주를 생산해 낼 수 있기 위해서는 연체동물 내부의 패각 안쪽에 진주층(nacre)이 존재해야 하는데, 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 진주양식에 사용되지는 않지만, 패각 안쪽 진주층이 두텁고 아름다운 색을 지니고 있어 충분히 진주 양식의 가능성을 보이는 키조개(Atrina pectinata)를 이용하여 새로운 양식 진주를 개발하고자 조사, 분석하였다. 주사전자현미경을 통해 키조개(Atrina pectinata)를 모패로 사용하여 양식된 흑진주의 진주층을 관찰한 결과, 이매패 진주층에서 나타나는 Aragonite형 탄산칼슘 층의 특징적인 다각형 판상구조가 관찰되였다. 또한 구체적인 특징을 알아보기 위해 분석한 결과, ED-XRF를 통해 해수 진주의 특징적 원소가 검출되었고, Raman 분석에서는 Aragonite의 특징적 $1083cm^{-1}$, $705cm^{-1}$ peak가 검출되었다. 그러나, UV-Vis 스펙트럼 분석에서는 흑접패(P. margaritifera) 흑진주와는 다른 요인에 기인하는 발색 양상임을 예상하게 했으며 이는 흑진주를 생산하는 모패의 종이 다르기 때문으로 생각된다.

  • Conchiolin is a complex protein which is secreted by the mollusc's outer epithelium to be the organic basis of mollusc shell. This study is to investigate a potential anti-inflammatory activity of conchiolin of oyster shell (COS). We tested the effects of COS on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE 2) in a murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7. COS inhibited production of NO and PGE2 in a dose dependent manner and also decreased the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). These results suggest that COS can inhibit production of pro-inflammatory mediators and might be a useful source to treat inflammation.

  • Molluscs from the Neolithic shell middens (Sugari, Pudjeong, Tongsamdong, Sangnodaedo, Sandeung, Yondaedo, Songdo and Kupyongri) in the southern coast, Korea, consisted of marine, fresh-water and land molluscs. Among these, intertidal species were exploited most abundantly as food resources, indicating a high dependence of intertidal shellfish collection activities. Especially oysters were the most abundant in these sites except Tongsamdong where mussels were predominant, indicating oysters were the most important food resources. Land snails from the sites consisted of woodland and open land species. Woodland species were more abundant than openland species, suggesting that there was a woodland environmint around the sites. Marine and land mollusc species from the sites are common in these rigions today, indicating no large-scale emvironmental changes have occurred since these middens formation period.

  • This study is on the changing pattern of fish-and-shellfish uses during the last two thirds of Chosun period on the premise that they are influenced by development of fishing technology. With a literary approach, this paper researches how fish-and-shellfish production and consumption pattern changed, especially in relation to technological development of fisheries. First, we examine into the changes of fishery production. And next, we analyze the kind and cooking method of fish-and-shellfish in [Eum-sik-di-mi-bang](1670) and [Gyu-hap-chong-seo](1815). The analysis of two books revealed that there were significant differences in fish-and-shellfish uses. Because the two books were written with a gap of 145 years and the development of fishing technology and remarkable changes of fishery production affected on the fish-and-shellfish uses. Due to primitive fishing tools and skills, fresh-water and reverse-river-fish and shellfish had been caught in substantial amount until the middle ages of Chosun period. As a result, the availability of seafood were limited extremely even in the upper classes. These situations are evidenced by the analysis of [Eum-sik-di-mi-bang]. Only 12 kinds of fish-and-shellfish are described in [Eum-sik-di-mi-bang]. Most of the sesfoods is mollusc which is easy to catch. As for the salt-water fish, dried cod and dried herring were mentioned. Mullet, the reverse-water-fish, is used most frequently. Only one kind of 'Hoe', which needs extreme freshness, is described. This means that the use of fresh fish-and-shellfish was very limited to some kinds which could be caught near the village. As the netting fishery began to be developed in the 18th century, the production of some salt-water fishes, such as anchovy, shrimp, yellow corvina, pollack, and herring, had increased remarkably to make marine resources more available. Small fish, such as anchovy and shrimp were preserved as 'Jeot-gal' and sold nationwide. Therefore, 'Jeot-gal' and seafood could be used in Kimchi around this time and had a deep influence on the change of Kimchi in taste and nutrition. In [Gyu-hap-chong-seo], 33 kinds of fish-and-shellfish are described. Including cod and herring, 17 kinds of sea water fish and mollusc are mentioned. Some of these are consumed in fresh state, neither as dried nor as salted. Because the merchants promoted the transport of seafoods to other regions according to the growth of commercial economy. As a result the diet of the people could be enriched by the various seafoods.
